False Hopes<\/strong> \u201cHopes\u201d is the plural of \u201chope\u201d, and here it means the hopes that cannot be accomplished for a man. The hope originates from the limitation of a man\u2019s ability and weakness. If he has a relation with this matter and he couldn\u2019t reach or accomplish it, it will change into a hope. If he was able to accomplish whatever he wants and desires, then there is no meaning for hope. Of course, a man\u2019s hopes sometimes originate from his high soul, encouraging movement, devotion, activeness, striving and path of perfection. For example, a man may hope to improve through knowledge, fear of God, character and dignity, but these hopes may be false most of the time. Opposite to the true hopes, false hopes are the base of heedlessness, ignorance, numbness and backwardness like when a man hopes to immortalize in life, have an endless age, get an uncountable quantity in money or control all of the people\u2026<\/p>\n The commander of the faithful (a.s) says:\u201d The hearts of the ignorant people are provoked by kindness, pledged by hopes, and get caught in tricks\u201d. [2]\n He (a.s) also says:\u201d Greed is a resource that is not a source, an unfaithful guarantor, and perhaps the drinker will leave the water before irrigating it. The greater the value of the thing competing in it, the greater the sorrow for its loss.\u00a0 Wishes blind the eyes of insight, and luck comes to those who do not ask for it\u201d. [3]\n The love of Life<\/strong> Love of life is the fountainhead of every fault and every deficit. He whose inside is based on the love of life until he is attracted to something not to benefit from it to the hereafter, shouldn\u2019t think about feeling the sweetness of\u00a0 soliloquy with God. He will not feel the spirit and reality of worship. Therefore, we see that supplications insist on the importance of taking off the love of life from their hearts, \u201cO God, get the love of life out of my heart\u201d. [6]\n Heedlessness<\/strong> Al Imam Ali (a.s) has warned of heedlessness and describes it in some words that show its danger, such as: \u201cThe continuity of heedlessness blinds insight\u201d[9], \u201cHe who is heedless will be ignorant\u201d, \u201cheedlessness is misguidance\u201d, \u201che who heedlessness controls him, his heart will die\u201d, \u201cheedlessness is darkness\u201d. [10]\n Heedlessness is one of the risky diseases that affect a man\u2019s personality and behaviors. Hence, when Al Imam Ali (a.s) describes the prophet Mohammad (pbuh) as a doctor that cures people\u2019s morale diseases including heedlessness, he says:\u201d He\u2019s a doctor who strolls with his medicine, knows well his ointments, prepares his horseshoe, cures those who are needy such as those of blind hearts, def ears and dumb tongues. He follows, with his medicine, positions of heedlessness and bewilderment\u201d. [11]\n Positions of heedlessness and bewilderment are a metaphor for hearts of ignorance. He (a.s) says \u201che strolls with his medicine\u201d because a doctor who strolls has more experience in the domain or he maybe means that the prophet (pbuh) strolls to cure the patients because the righteous strolls over the patients of hearts to cure them. He (a.s) also says:\u201d Jesus was seen getting out of a prostitute\u2019s house, so he was asked:\u201d someone like you be here?! So he answered: \u201cHe who is a doctor comes to his patients\u201d.<\/p>\n Ointments are compound medicines for wounds and ulcers.\u00a0 And the horseshoes are irons by which horses and others are branded. Then, he mentioned that only those who need it are treated with this, and they are the first of blind hearts, deaf ears, and dumb tongues, that is, the mute.\u00a0 This is a correct and circumscribed division, because misguidance and violating the truth can be caused by three things: either through ignorance of the heart, or by not hearing sermons and arguments, or by abstaining from witnessing monotheism and reciting the dhikr (remembrance of God).\u00a0 These are the origins of misguidance, and as for acts of disobedience, they are branches of it.

\nGod almighty says:\u201d The hypocrites will call out to the Muslims, \u201cWere we not with you?\u201d; they will answer, \u201cYes you were, why not? But you had put your souls to trial, and you used to await misfortune for the Muslims, and you doubted, and false hopes deceived you until God\u2019s command came \u2013 and the big cheat had made you conceited towards the command of God.\u201d[1]\n
\nImam Ali (a.s) says:” All of the ears are dead of hearing wisdom and all of the hearts are blind of the insight light for the sake of the love of life. [4]On the contrary, abstention of the worldly pleasure leads to insight; the prophet Mohammad says:” Whoever abstains from the worldly pleasure, God teaches him without being educated, gives him the insight (to know his gaults), and removes his blindness (to distinguish between the truth and falsehood\u201d. [5]\n
\nGod almighty says:\u201d Certainly, you were heedless of this day. But (now) We have removed your veil and your sight is very sharp today.'[7] The messenger of God (pbuh) says:\u201d The signs of the heedless are four: blindness, carelessness, amusement, and forgetfulness\u201d. [8]\n
