The bases of human life have been founded on \u201cfondness and sociability<\/strong>\u201d. There are some material and spiritual issues that make attractions and repulsions in human\u2019s relationships. Immorality, greediness, malice, apathy, anger and etc. are some examples of moral and spiritual repulsions that will separate people from us and make us alone. On the other hand, good morals, forgiveness, affability, kindness and tolerance prepare bases of friendship and disposition of others toward us.<\/p>

Material issues can also consolidate relationships and attract people. Cleanliness, neatness, and the usage of perfumes are good examples of material attractions. Imam Reza\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0paid much attention to his\u00a0neatness and embellishment<\/strong>\u00a0as well as his total recommendation for moral virtues. He recommended the believers to care about neatness.<\/p>

It is narrated that he said: \u201cIt is not good for a man to leave\u00a0perfuming<\/strong>\u00a0every day and if he cannot afford it, he may do it every other day and if he cannot even afford that, he should use perfume every Friday and he should not forget about the latter anyway.\u201d\u00a0[1]<\/a><\/p>

On the other hand, Imam also emphasized keeping out of extravagance, luxury and consumerism. He said: \u201cOne of the most terms of perfection of the real faith is\u00a0Moderation<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>

It is narrated about Imam\u2019s social life that he wore plain and woolen clothes and avoided indolence and comfort when he was at home. Whenever he was among people, he was neat, adorned and dressed well. This behavior of Imam\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0reveals us his view point that adornment and neatness is addressed as\u00a0social duty\u00a0<\/strong>for respecting others.<\/p>

This is the manner of Devine men. They are neat but they are far from excesses and wastage\u2026[3]<\/a><\/p>
