Qualities of A Mutaqee

So what is a Mutaqee? As described by Mola Ali (as):

• He doesn't care about this duniya and the world is insignificant in his eyes.
• Outside the domination of his belly.
• Most of the time he is silent but if speaks, he silences others in a decisive manner.
• Physically weak person but when the call for jihad comes he will become a lion.
• Gives benefit of doubt and won't make a judgment till he is sure about it.
• If he went through a difficulty in his life he wouldn't talk about it until he has overcome it.
• If somebody could overcome him in speech, they could never overcome him in silence.
• If two things confronted him in the gray area, he will reflect on it and he will decide by comparing both issues and ask himself which of the two he likes more or desires more and he will leave the one he likes and will do the other thing to be sure he doesn't get into a situation which might lead him to sin.
  

Why is this important to us or relevant to us today? If we strive to be as Mola describes, then it will be easier to follow our religion. By pausing and taking just a few seconds before talking or carrying out our actions, we can consciously make the right decision and stay on sirat al mustaqeem, the true & right path!
