Islamic Ethics: Alcohol, the mother of evils
Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (a.s.) declares: “One who weds his daughter to a drunkard is like the one who has severed relations with her”. (Wasaaelush Shia, vol. 20, p. 79, Hadis No. 25081, New edition.)

According to doctors, liquor is the root of all ills. It ruins and destroys the body to such an extent that a day comes when it destroys his very existence. We mention hereunder some of the harmful effects of intoxicants like liquor on the generations to follow. The advancement of science has proved beyond doubt that liquor and similar intoxicants have a fatal effect on the child being nurtured in the womb of the mother. After intercourse, the liquor passing through the mother’s womb enters in to the embryo (foetus) and could possibly lead to the birth of a defective child or even miscarriage. Recent scientific breakthroughs have established that liquor intake before or during pregnancy could result in a stillborn.

Imam Mahdi’s (as) Existence: An Accepted Fact
DE'BAL’S COUPLET REGARDING MAHDI (A.T.F.S.)

De'bal, the poet of Ahle Bayt (a.s.) recited his famous couplets in the presence of Imam Reza (a.s.) and in the end, he recited the following verse:

"The reappearance of the Imam is certain and imminent He will rise on Allah’s Name and (His) blessings."

Hearing this, Imam Reza (a.s.) started weeping and exclaimed '(O De’bal) Ruhul Qudus has spoken through your tongue! Do you know that Imam?' De’bal replied, 'No. But I have heard that a person from your progeny will bring about a revolution, and will fill this earth with justice and equity. Imam (a.s.) prophesied, 'After me, my son Mohammed (a.s.) will be the Imam, and after him, his son Ali (a.s.) will be the Imam and after Ali (a.s.) his son Hasan (a.s.) will gain Imamat. After Hasan (a.s.), his son Hujjat, the Qaem (a.t.f.s.), shall gain this prestigious station. He shall be in occultation and awaiting his reappearance is necessary. And when he will reappear it is necessary to obey and follow him. He is the person who will fill the earth with justice and equity. The time of his reappearance is not fixed, and it is narrated by my forefathers that his reappearance will be sudden.' (Yanaabi-ul-Mawaddah, vol. 2, p. 197)

The Glory of Imam Husain (a.s.)
In the words of the companions of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and the Taabe’en the love and affection for Imam Husain (a.s.) found in the hearts of the first century of Hijri Muslims was unprecedented. This was because of the extraordinary favors, affection, courtesy and kindness which were expressed by Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) on Imam Husain (a.s.). Also, those traditions which the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said in the excellence of the King of Martyrs were popular among the Muslims. These were discussed in the gatherings of the believers. The masses as well as the lords, without exception were aware about it.
