Fault-Finding
(Wise Sayings of Imam Khomeini)
o No fault is greater than not understanding one's own fault and ignoring it.
Although one is a collection of faults himself, he is concerned with the
faults of others.
o Why should complexes of the heart mislead men and carnal passions put
aside all things and observe only the faults?
o Divulging the peoples' secrets, no matter what they may be, is contrary to
Islam.
Negligence
o Do not neglect God even for a moment. Neglecting the Source of Power
leads mankind to perdition.
Disappointment and Despair
o Do not ever become disappointed in your affairs for all things do not
become rectified at once and major works are carried out little by little.
o Despair is of the army of Satan and hopefulness is that of God. Always be
hopeful.
Social Perversion and Corruption
o The prophets, just like the physicians, wanted to reform the society.
o If there is only no ethical perversion, no war weapon will ever harm
mankind.
o That which places our planet on the verge of collapse is moral perversion.
o Corruption deteriorates the community, and like a cancerous tumor, will
not let it up; it must be removed.
o Saving of an addict is not saving of an individual; it is saving of Islam.
o Insulting a Muslim is not a religious duty; the same is true in the case of
backbiting a brother in faith. It is love of the self and love of the world; it
is satanic insinuations that make man so miserable.
o Hurting Muslims and the faithful is a major sin.
