Why? How does piety fulfill all of one’s needs? It solves problems, increases one’s sustenance, opens one’s mind, cleanses one’s heart, guarantees a good end for a person, and causes one’s actions to be accepted. What is this?!
Piety should naturally be attractive to everyone. It is narrated in Misbah al-Shari’ah that Imam Sadiq (as) said piety is something that is attractive to all human beings. If someone sees some manifestations of piety, even if he/she is not Muslim, they will like it and think that this behavior is attractive. This is very important.
For example, if one hears of the traits of the Commander of the Faithful, Ali (as), they will like it. Even Christians and Sunnis write poems about him. Not just Muslims, even non-Muslims are infatuated with his characteristics. Why? Because he is the Imam of the pious. This is one of his names.
May God help us to be able to see the beauty and glory of piety so that we can deeply wish for it. Why do you pray to God for piety? Is it because you’re good people or that you believe in God? Is it because you’re afraid of Hell and like Heaven? Why? Why do you want piety? It’s for the same reason that a young couple want each other, and the same way that two people from the opposite sex want each other! It’s for the same reason that a mother wants her child and a child wants their mother.
A mother’s love for her child isn’t because her love brings rewards. The traditions say that each time a mother nurses her child, she will be purified from sins just like the day she was born. But do mothers nurse their children to become purified from sins? No, but if they know this, their enthusiasm will increase. She will like God and say, “O God, I’m thankful to You. I’m doing my duties as a mother, but You’re so good that You want to reward me for what I like to do myself.”
This is the way we should ask for piety. We should want piety with our entire being. Piety is desirable. Something must happen within our hearts!
