show gratitude
Show gratitude to them for leaving the abodes of their people for Your sake, and going out from a plentiful livelihood to a narrow one (Imam Sajjad (AS), Al-Sahifat Al-Sajjadiyya )
You are of bounty abounding!
O Keeper of promises! O Faithful to Your word! O Hu who changes evil deeds into manifold good deeds! You are of bounty abounding! (Imam Sajjad, Al-Sahifat Al-Sajjadiyya)
Hu cannot be perceived
Praise be to Allah Who exists from before the coming into existence of the seat, the throne, the sky, the earth, the jinn or human being. Hu cannot be perceived by imagination nor measured by understanding. (Imam Ali (AS) Nahjul-Balaga, sermon #181)
a healthy certitude
Abdullah ibn San’an narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: ?One of the signs of a healthy certitude of a Muslim is that he does not please the people through raising Allah’s anger.? (Mishkat al-Anwar, #24, ch.3)
Allah brings forth loss or gain
Imam Sadiq (a.s) reported the following on the authority of Ameer al-Momineen (a.s): ?No one shall experience realfaith unless he realizes that he shall suffer from whatever he is to suffer, and he shall be safe from whatever he should besaved from. Indeed it is Allah who brings forth loss or gain.? (Mishkat Al-Anwar, h. #161, ch. 10)
certitude
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Faith (iman) is superior to submission (to Allah), and certitude is superior to faith. Nothing is more superior than certitude.”
