So you think you are a shia?!

This is what Imam Jaffar Sadiq(a.s) had to say about shia:

Surely, we (the Ahl al-Bayt) were created from the divine light (nur) of Allah and our Shia (followers) were created from other than this divine light (nur - of a lower grade). So then when the Day of Judgment takes place, the lower grades will be joined with the higher grades (of light).

Then he (prayers be upon him) put his two fingers together (index and middle finger) and said to him (al-Mufaddhal), “Just like this (will these two divine lights be joined together).”

The Imam (prayers be upon him) then said to him (al-Mufaddhal): “O’ Mufaaahal! Do you know why the Shia have been call Shia? O’ Mufaddhal our Shiaa (true followers) are from us (from our divine light) and we in turn are from our Shia. Do you see where this sun rises from?”.

I (al-Mufaddhal) said, “It rises from the East.”
The Imam (prayers be upon him) then asked, “And where does it return to?”
I (al-Mufaddhal) said, “It sets in the West.”
'
The Imam (prayers be upon him) then said, “Our Shia are just the same as this (the way the Sun rises and sets).
They have come from us (our direction) and thus, they will return to us (our presence).”

Now ask yourself are you worthy of this definition? Can you still call your self a shia or just simply a lover of Ahlulbayt(s.a)?! Don't give yourself a title and think all those ahdith gloirfying shia are for us....those are for the shia of this definition!
