The Real Shiites’ Characteristics in the Imam Mohammad Bagher (PBUP)’s Wills

This paper is a commentary on the advices of Imam Mohammad Bagher (PBUH) regarding thanksgiving. It has been said that, paying attention to the divine blessings is a way to heighten the sense of gratitude in human beings. Basically, in a sense, human gratitude is the purpose of bestowing blessings; although, mere thanksgiving is not enough in this regard, man must know the divine blessings, avoid underestimating the divine blessings and do not be proud of his worship. God Almighty has promised that gratitude increases blessings but ingratitude leads to deprivation. Therefore, recognition of the divine blessings, practicing knowledge and sincerity in practice, brings man to the peak of servitude. To this end, man must strengthen the feeling of fear of God. The first step in this regard is the sincere fear that will be obtained by thinking about the consequences of sins and moral anomalies.
