"Yazid consumed alchohol and spilled it on the blessed head of Imam Hussain. The 8th Imam said: 'If there is anyone from our Shias who remembers this incident, he should now refrain [from alcohol].' Anyone who really is an Azadar of Hussain, he cannot get into this habit, and if he already is, remember the words of the 8th Imam."

"Can anyone guarantee where and when he will die? Suppose you are at a bar, and your time comes right there?...If you are a Muslim you have to make a choice."

From the time of the Prophet to the time of the early Banu Abbas Caliphate, there were thousands of Hafiz of the Quran. But they could not gain true guidance until they approached someone who is known as the authorized mufasir of Quran. And this is where we go back to the Prophets statement: I am leaving two things, the Quran and my family, and the two will never separate. If we need the guidance of the Quran we need the teachings of the Ahlul Bayt."

"By intoxication and gambling, Shaitan wants to prevent you from remembering Allah and salaat. Are you now going to refrain?" - Holy Qur'an
