The Analysis of the Word "Rida" in Sahifah Sajadiyeh

Abstract

Imam
Sajjad (pbuh) during the time of repression following the event of Ashura
raised deep themes in prayer as a reminder of the purpose of this uprising. One
of the themes of interest is Ri
da. Imam Sajjad (AS) has
mentioned "Reza" 79times in the
ahifah
Sajadiyeh; Therefore, in this study, by referring to the text of
ahifah
Sajadiyeh, the concept of Rida is explored and its ways of gaining it and its
functions in the view of Imam Sajjad has been analyzed by
descriptive-analytical method. If human beings when they are in a state of
calamity, and affliction, they look like as if they are in a state of
transcendence and prosperity, they have reached Ri
da;
however, according to Imam Sajjad (as), Ri
da is a two-way relationship
between God and Man. Humans can satisfy God by observing standards such as
faith, righteous deeds, obedience to God, abstinence of sins, and doing what is
right. Similarly, a servant with his attitude and behavior can express his
satisfaction with God. In the behavioral dimension, obedience to God and his
successors on earth, worship of God, and in the attitude dimension,
satisfaction with God's fate, and testimony that God divides provision justly
among the servants, causes the servant's satisfaction with God. When God is
pleased with a servant, he protects him from the harms of evil, as he raises
the rank of such a servant among the servants and rewards him with Paradise
