Sayings of the Imam Raza (peace be upon him).

                                       What is faith?

      Faith is the fulfillment of duties and the prohibition of the mahram. Faith is knowledge by the heart, acknowledgment by the tongue, and action by the body.
                                         Tuhf-ul-Aqool, p. (444).
Faith is the observance of obligations and duties and avoidance of forbidden actions. Faithful belief is a verbal confession and an action and character with limbs.

                                                       Faith is the best


Faith is better than Islam by degrees, and piety is better than faith by degrees, and the children of Adam are better than Iqeen.
                                      Tahaf al-Aqool, p. (469)
Iman is a rank higher than Islam and piety is a rank higher than faith and the son of Adam was not given anything better than belief.

                                          Who is atrue believer?

A believer is not a true believer except that he possesses three characteristics: one Sunnah of Allah, one Sunnah of his Prophet (PBUH) and one Sunnah of his Imam. The Sunnah of God is to keep one's secret hidden, the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) is tolerance and gentleness with people, and the Sunnah of his Imam is patience in times of hardship and distress.
Doing good in secret.

His name is Hassan (AS) and this name was bestowed upon him by the Lord of the Worlds It is narrated from Imam Sajjad (AS) that when Imam Hassan (AS) was born, Gabriel (AS) descended to the Holy Prophet (S) from the Lord of the Worlds and said, "Since the relationship between Amirul Momineen Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) and you is like that between Aaron and Moses (AS), name Ali's (AS) son after the name of Aaron's (AS) son, whose name was Hassan (AS).
