The last successor in the Quran

The last successor in the Quran

“(And remember) when Abraham was tested by his lord with certain words and he fulfilled them…”

Mufaddal says that I asked Imam Sadiq (PBUH), “What does “words” mean in this verse?” the Imam said: “The same words which Adam learnt from his Lord and repented. When he said: “O Lord, for the sake of Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussein, accept my repentance, and his repentance was accepted. He accepts repentance and He is merciful.” He again asked the Imam: “What does “َفأتَمَّهُن” mean? Imam said: “Allah completed them to 12 Imams, the last one of whom is # the Qa’im.

The protection provided by twelve Caliphs

The protection provided by twelve Caliphs

Shiites – and also Sunnis – believe that the prophet has ensured the survival and dignity of Islam until the Judgment Day through the protection provided by twelve Caliphs. Sunnis have been incapable of introducing these twelve Caliphs; however, for Shiites, these twelve divine Caliphs are identified. Through studying the history of their lives, it is revealed that unfortunately, "oppressive regimes’ pressure" caused "the birth of the last divine caliph" to happen in secret, like that of Abraham and Moses.   This form of birth, created doubts; therefore, most of the Sunnis deny his birth. Shia scholars, so far, have written numerous books to prove his birth.

son of man

imam mahdi ( twelfth imam ) in the bible

You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”(luke 12:40 )

12th Imam of Shia Muslims who is mentioned in the Bible as “Son of Man” (Luke 12:40) will return in the future and after him Prophet  Jesus will also return and affirms him. The 12th Imam or Imam Mahdi is Imam of kindness and mercy and Imam of all people in the world. He shall guide human beings to prosperity.

His main aim is to fight injustice, inequity, racism, warmongering, violence and every other negative ideology and act that has widely spread across the world and to establish justice, peace, welfare , kindness and friendship among all nations in the world. Among the main enemies of the 12th Imam are extremists and terrorists such as ISIL and Al-Qaeda who, behind the mask of a false version of Islam, commit crimes against people and humanity in different parts of the world. After the return of Imam Mahdi, world will be a much safer, happier and better place to live.

Mourning for Imam Hussein (PBUH)

Mourning for Imam Hussein (PBUH)

Imam Mahdi says in the Ziyarat of Nahiya Al-Moqaddasa about Ashura and Imam Hussein: 🔹“If times put me off and prevented me from helping you in Ashura, I will definitely be crying for you from down to dust and I will be shedding blood instead of tears.”

Imam Sadiq says: “No mourner cries for Imam Hussein unless he/she has reinforced his ties with Lady Fatima (PBUH) and has fulfilled the right we (Ahl-al-Bayt) have toward them.”

The book "Kamil al-Ziyarat", vol. 81, section 26

Hence, when a believer cries for the sorrow of Imam Hussein, he/she has fulfilled the right of the next Imam after him because it shows his/her agreement with the Imam and it consoles him.

Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) loneliness

Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) loneliness

Imam Musa al-Kadhim (PBUH) said: “He is in exile, alone and absent from his family and is the avenger of his father.”

Kamal- al-Din, Chapter 34, Hadith 4

 Allameh Seyed Mohammad Taqi Mousavi Isfahani:

Be aware that “exile” has two meanings:  

1-Being away from one’s family, home and town.

2-And having few friends.

And Imam Mahdi (PBUH) is in exile in both senses.

Therefore, O believers, help him, O believers, help him.

The dignity of the night of 15th of Shaban

The dignity of the night of 15th of Shaban

🔆 Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said: “No baby is born on the same night when our Qa’im (Imam Mahdi) (PBUH) was born, unless he/she will be a true believer. If he/she is born in the non-Muslim countries, God will guide him/her towards faith for the sake of of Imam Mahdi’s blessing (PBUH).”

 (Tozih al-Maqased, Sheikh Baha’i, page 532 )

🔹 According to some narrations, the night of 15th of Shaban is the same Qadr night in which the aliment and lifespan are ordained. Some narrations say that the 15th of Shaban is the Imams’ night and the Qadr night belongs to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

🔺 One of the dignities of this night is that it is one of those special nights to salute Imam Hussein’s (PBUH) shrine as hundred thousand prophets make a pilgrimage to Imam Hussein’s (PBUH) shrine on this night. The special prayer of this night is two-rak’at prayer that in each rak’at, you should recite sura Al-Fatiha once and then recite 100 times sura Al-Ikhlas.

313 companions in the Quran

313 companions in the Quran

“So race in goodness and wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together”

Imam Baqir (PBUH) interprets this verse in this way: “Allah, without any prior appointment, will gather Mahdi’s 313 companions, whose number equals the companions of the Battle of Badr, around him in Mecca, like the pieces of cloud in autumn. O Jabir, this is what Allah means by wherever you are, He will gather all of you together.”

The last reason for the necessity of knowing and getting familiarized with Imam Mahdi (PBUH):

The last reason for the necessity of knowing and getting familiarized with Imam Mahdi (PBUH):

 11- “It is an introduction for doing one’s duties and tasks”

Imam Baqir (PBUH) said:

“Anyone who obtains the “knowledge”, will be guided towards “action” through that; and anyone who does not possess the “knowledge” will have no “action”.”

Mizan Alhekmah, vol.6 p.131

Conclusion: Getting familiarized with the Imam of each era (the Imam in the current era) is the operating engine of “actions” (performing one’s tasks and duties) and it is also the required necessity to the “waiting” (for Imam).

As previously mentioned, knowing the Imam of the current era (Imam Mahdi) has two dimensions: 1- Personal 2- Characteristics and attributes and... 

Therefore, hereafter we will deal with the "personal" recognition of Imam Mahdi (PBUH)

The pilgrimage of Imam Hussein (PBUH)

The pilgrimage of Imam Hussein (PBUH)

The pilgrimage of Imam Hussein (PBUH) is one of the duties of the awaiting people during the occultation because it is a kind of devotion to Imam Mahdi and goodness toward him and other Imams, and by doing pilgrimage, joy and pleasure fills Imam’s heart and he prays for the pilgrims of Imam

Hussein’s shrine as his ancestors did from down to dust.

In the authentic book of "Kamil al- Ziyarat", Imam Sadiq says:

1-“The one who grants alms for the sake of Imam Hussein, any penny will be counted as thousands and for him/her and he/she will gain the consent of God, Prophet Muhammad and Imams.                                                                   

2-The pilgrimage of Imam Hussein’s shrine is the most admirable deed for God.”

3-Imam Sadiq says in his prayers: “Oh God, grant me and my brothers and the pilgrims of my father Imam Hussein your pardon, whom spent out their properties and wasted away their bodies…hence bestow on

them your heaven, and protect them from any kind of rebellious and malevolent creatures and devils of jinn and men….”

And these are the reasons for making Imam Mahdi and other Imams happy due to this honorable deed.

Bloodbath and massacre or understanding and culture

Bloodbath and massacre or understanding and culture

How can the Esteemed Imam Mahdi (PBUH) fill the world with justice and equity? By killing? Now that the world population is seven billion, will six billion people become good humans if the other one billion get killed? It is just the beginning of a bloodbath. And if out of this seven billion, four billion get killed, will the remaining three billion become good ones? Never! How Imam Mahdi (PBUH) is going to succeed?

By force? By killing? Or by justice and acculturation? The first miracle is that he will make people rational, then the sane society, will become an honest and a justice-loving society. 

Grand Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi-Amoli’s speech, point 842 from the book “1001 points about Imam Mahdi (PBUH)”
