The educational lifestyle in Imam Hassan Askari’s teachings
The Infallible Imams are the best exemplars for those who want to be blessed in this world and the hereafter. To receive comprehensive and exhaustive plan for individual and social training, we should study their practical and theoretical lifestyle. In this article, we want to explain Imam Hasan Askari’s educational lifestyle, but it is not possible to mention all educational teachings here, so only some examples are given.
One of his noticeable teachings, the same like the other Imams’, is assiduity in worshipping God and obedience to Him.
People were absolutely fascinated and moved by his worshiping God and praying. His worshiping reminded them about God and made them change. Even, some of those who were astray from the right way were guided then through this way. Sometimes, He guided them indirectly, like prompting others to cogitate (think) through asking questions.
In addition, he would guide the people by answering the new religious and juridical doubts.
He also tended to have a simple lifestyle. Once, Kamel Ben Ibrahim Madani saw Imam dressing soft clothes. He thought to himself, why Imam is wearing soft clothes but encourages us to equality with the religious brothers and forbids us to use these clothes. At that moment, Imam smiled and showed him the dungaree he was wearing under it and said: I am wearing this dungaree for God and this soft cloth is for you.
