1- Doubt and indecisiveness

Person who is afflicted with doubtfulness and indecisiveness did not only shake their spiritual values rather at that time he is captivity of doubtfulness and temptation; he is stagnant and having recessional situation that he will not spiritually move forward. Therefore in other to rescue himself he must clean the topic of doubtfulness from his heart.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said:

wipe away doubt and indecisiveness from yourselves.[1]

Base on this, one must clean doubtfulness and indecisiveness from his mind in other to preserve his spiritual values and to establish faith and complete certainty for the strengthening of his belief if not, not only it will create breach and instability in his ideologies rather he shall be a partner to chaos which shall occurred at the end of the time; therefore doubtfulness and indecisiveness in an aspect and machinery for sedition, chaos and divine test and in another aspect the afflicted ones with doubtfulness and indecisiveness are rejected in this type of examinations.

In the commandments of the household of the holy Prophet (peace be upon them), they have ordered us to erase doubtfulness and indecisiveness from ourselves; meanwhile not only in the respect of passing the test of Almighty Allah, but so that you can do away with machinery of sedition and chaos. In this respect, in divine examinations we are ordered to do away with doubtfulness and indecisiveness, therefore as we have said earlier doubtfulness, indecisiveness and unnecessary suspicions are the causes of chaos and seditions. That is the reason in supplication of the followers “Muti’een” we demanded from Almighty Allah that:

O’ Allah establish reality in our inner being because doubt and suspicions causes seditions.[2] 

By glancing over the history we can witness this reality that from the advent of Islam to this time, the seditions of the perverted people has caused the going astray of the Muslim community and they have likely affected some individual who has dashed out their certainty towards the right path and they have also been involved in doubt and suspicion.

In reality doubtfulness and indecisiveness are means of involving into seditions and chaos of the stray people; not only as a result of doubtfulness and indecisiveness, sedition and chaos that entangle people rather the existence of unsteady and indecisive people are the causes of seditions and chaos.
