Keep your tongue imprisoned. So that you may stay safe.

Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy [to humanity].
He only invites his party [demons, tyrants, oppressors, hypocrites]
to be among the companions of the Blaze.
On the Day of Judgment, Shaytan will abandon humanity and say:
And I had no authority over you, except that I called/invited you,
and you obeyed/answered me; so do not blame me but blame yourselves.
Your greatest and most dangerous enemy is not Shaytan (the external deceiver);
it is your nafs (the internal traitor, the lower self, ego, carnal and/or primitive desires).
A nafs uncontrolled acts as Shaytan's internal accomplice.
While he is an enemy to humanity, Shaytan can only " invite" you to sin. He possesses no power of physical coercion and can only whisper, suggest and invite. Humans choose whether to accept or reject his invitations [through free will]. The internal force that actually accepts those whispers and chooses to execute the invitations to sin is the unpurified nafs.
Imam al-Sadiq (as) narrated: When the Prophet (pbuh) welcomed back soldiers
from military combat in defense of Islam, he said:
You have returned from the Lesser jihad to the Greater jihad.
When asked what the Greater jihad was, the Prophet answered:
The struggle against one's nafs.
Imam Ali (as) said: The slave of desire is a slave in perpetuity;
the ignorant is one whose desires have enslaved him.
Beware of your internal traitor, and greatest enemy,
and conquer it before it conquers you.

Upon visiting their home while Lady Fatima (as) was preparing and cooking a meal,
the Prophet (pbuh) saw that Imam Ali (as) was offering her a helping hand by picking out lentils.
The Prophet said: "Every man, who helps his wife in the house, Allah will write for him
as much hairs on his body (the reward of) worship of a year, fasting in a day, and worshipping
all the night. Allah will give him the reward of the patient and the righteous."
The Prophet used this moment, Imam Ali's devotion to Lady Fatima, as a model for love
and to highlight the spiritual value and reward of helping one's wife in the household,
by equating the act to prolonged worship and patience.

Imam al-Sadiq (as) said: He who devotes his heart to this world will be subjected
to three conditions: endless grief, unquenchable desire, and futile hope.

Assalamu Alaikum everyone ❤️
Question to the girls, would you be open to marry a guy who used to be a sunni but now is a shia? And would your families accept?
