Amānah (أمانة)

The Entrustments

اتَّبِعُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ أَقِرُّوا بِمَا نَزَلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَ اتَّبِعُوا آثَارَ الْهُدَى فَإِنَّهُمْ عَلَامَاتُ الْأَمَانَةِ وَ التُّقَى وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَوْ أَنْكَرَ رَجُلٌ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَقَرَّ بِمَنْ سِوَاهُ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ اقْتَصُّوا الطَّرِيقَ بِالْتِمَاسِ الْمَنَارِ وَ الْتَمِسُوا مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحُجُبِ الْآثَارَ تَسْتَكْمِلُوا أَمْرَ دِينِكُمْ وَ تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ رَبِّكُمْ

(In a lenghty Hadith from the 6th Imam-asws on the qualities of a believer) ‘Follow Rasool-Allah-saww and acknowledge with what was Revealed from the Presence of Allah-azwj and follow the the effects of the Guidance for these are signs of ‘لْأَمَانَةِ ’ the entrustments and the piety. And know! If a man were to deny Isa-as Bin Maryam-as and acknowledge with the ones besides him-as from the Rasools-as, (he) would not have believed. Shorten the way by seeking the Minarets, and seek from behind the veils, the effect which would perfect the matter of your Religion, and believe in Allah-azwj, your Lord-azwj’.[1]
