From the sayings of Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (a):
(Three traits through which affection is drawn: fairness in companionship, consolation in hardship, and harboring a sound heart).
Searching for a plan of love, searching for a map of passion, and for a way to the harmony of hearts and the secret of their attraction, requires an insight of light that one can trust; there is no time to waste on trial and error, and no benefit in patchwork measures, the charlatanry of smoke, the lines of the palm and illusions..
Hearts have doors just as houses have doors; whoever enters the heart by its door will reach its innermost core and will sit enthroned upon it.
Three traits mentioned by Imam al-Jawad (a), not as an exhaustive list, but they meet the need and accomplish the project of bringing estranged hearts together..
The first of them: in the ordinary situation, it is the conduct that colors companionship with kindness, for beauty of character captivates good hearts.
And the second: in calamities and crises, for consolation is the most eloquent of the messages of love, which hearts eagerly catch and souls find delightful.
And the third: it is the magic of the soul and what the intentions harbor; hearts have a language that travels through sincere feelings, and whenever hearts master the language of sincerity, union is achieved and closeness is adorned.
Then the attraction of hearts is realized between (spouses, friends, family, brothers and all pairs among human beings).
Sayed Mahmoud Al-Mosawi
