The path of guidance and happiness

In order to make it easy to follow the path of guidance and reach the heights of happiness, in addition to the commands and heavenly books, God Almighty has also introduced practical models so that people can follow the path of truth correctly and easily by following their behavior.

The Holy Quran said about following the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace: "There is a good example for you in the [behavior] of the Messenger of God."[1]

One of the most obvious models is Imam Hossein (AS).

Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) and God's consent

One of the most obvious characteristics and attributes of Imam Hussain, peace be upon him, is that throughout his life, his speech, behavior and actions were according to the satisfaction of the God and on the divine path.

Examples in this regard are mentioned:

1-Asking for God's pleasure: Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) prays to God next to the grave of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).

God! I like the good deed and hate the bad deed. O Almighty God, out of respect for this grave and the person in it, I ask you to choose a path that pleases you and your prophet.[2]

2- Whatever God wants:

After Imam Hussain, peace be upon him, moved from Medinah to Mecca, he made many speeches in Mecca. In one of them he said:

“…God's satisfaction is our Ahl al-Bayt consent, and we are patient against his calamity”[3]

3- Only for God: When the arrow hit the Imam hossein's chest and he fell to the ground, he said:

In the name of God and in remembrance of God and in the way of God and for the religion of the Messenger of God [I will be martyred].[4]
