Performance of Obligation
Wise Sayings of Imam Khomeini
o For us the important thing is that we perform our duty.
o We should not worry that perchance we will be defeated; we should worry
lest we failed to perform our duties.
o Divine duties are God's trusts.
o We will perform our duty, and God, the Blessed and Exalted, does not
expect from us anything beyond our capacity.
o If we perform the duty that God, the Blessed and Exalted, has made
incumbent on us, we should not be afraid of (the possibility of) being
defeated.
o If we get killed, it is in the line of duty and if we kill, that, too, is in the
line of duty.
o We want to preserve Islam; this cannot be done by withdrawal. Don't
think that withdrawal exempts you from performing your duty; it makes it
(duty) double.
o All of us are responsible for the performance of duty and responsibility;
not on the end-result of such performance.
