Five signs identify a true believer

The true believer (the Twelver mu'min) is recognized by five signs taught by Imam al-Askari, the 51 daily rak'ah, aloud basmala, ta'fir al-jabin, wearing the ring on the right hand, and Ziyarat al-Arba'een, and the ziyarah of Imam al-Husayn carries immense reward but must be performed with the reverence, purity, and intention modeled by Jabir ibn Abdillah al-Ansari.

The khutbah in 7 steps

1. Contrast the three signs of the munafiq (lying, betraying trust, breaking promises) with the five signs of the mu'min from Imam al-Askari
2. Define the mu'min as the Twelver who takes Ahlul Bayt as imams, grounded in Quran 5:55 and the ring-giving of Imam Ali in ruku'
3. Enumerate the five signs: 51 rak'ah (17 wajib + 34 nawafil), saying bismillah aloud in every salat, ta'fir al-jabin in dust after prayer, wearing the ring (especially aqeeq) on the right hand, and Ziyarat al-Arba'een
4. Defend the riwayah that visiting Imam al-Husayn earns the thawab of the Prophet's hajj, while clarifying Shia ulama never said ziyarah replaces wajib hajj
5. Recount Jabir ibn Abdillah al-Ansari's Arba'een visit via Atiyya al-Awfi: ghusl at the Euphrates, clean dress, scent, dhikr with every step, fainting at the grave, calling 'Ya Husain'
6. Rebuke careless behavior at ziyarah (no ghusl, laughing, neglecting taharah) as damaging the image of all Shia, and urge dhikr, timely salat, taqwa, and tawba
7. Close with Arabic duas for the Imam al-Mahdi, the believers, and the salawat on Muhammad and Ahlul Bayt
