The ninth and tenth reasons for the necessity of knowing and getting familiarized with Imam Mahdi (PBUH):

“It rises one’s rank to the level of those who fight alongside Imam Mahdi (PBUH)”

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said: “Anyone who gets to know his Imam then dies before the Imam’s uprising, is like someone who is sitting in the Imam’s army; and no, he is like the one who is sitting under his banner.”

“We need it very much at the moment of dying”

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said: “Indeed, the earth (this world) will not be reformed except by the presence of 

an Imam; and anyone who does not (try to) know his Imam and he dies in that state, it would be a death 

in ignorance. And the time during which you need this recognition more than ever is when you are at the moment of dying. And those who has earned this recognition while they were alive, at that time (at the moment of dying), having seen the facts of the universe and the life after death will say: I had a good religion and manner.”

The real repentance (from the depth of heart)

The real repentance (from the depth of heart)

One of the most important tasks of the Shiites toward their Imam is to do real repentance. One of the main reasons for the occultation of Imam Mahdi, is the sins people commit.

In his letter to Sheikh al-Mufid, Imam Mahdi considers the sins as the main reason of his occultation and he says:

“So the only thing that keeps us hidden for them is their unpleasant and bad deeds that are revealed to us and we do not like them and don’t expect from them.”

The world will shine by the light of God [1]. If one is sick, the divine nature will command the sun to heal him [2]. The waters will flow form Jerusalem and it will heal any kind of illness [3]. The trees are commanded to bear fruits every month and the humans are healed whenever they eat them [4]. Destroyed cities will be rebuilt and no ruins will be found on earth [5]. Wolf will dwell with the lamb, leopard and lion will respectively sleep with the kid and cow and calf. The infant will place his hand on the serpent’s nest [6]. The death will be faded forever and the God will wipe away the tears from all faces [7].

Providing the food for Imam Mahdi’s army

Providing the food for Imam Mahdi’s army

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) quotes from Imam Baqir (PBUH):

“When Mahdi comes and rises, he starts from Mecca, then moves to Kufa. Before setting out with his army and companions, his harbinger calls every one that: no one is allowed to carry food and water.”

Then Imam commands them to pick the stone belonging to Prophet Moses which equals the load on a camel and carry it along with the forces. To every house they get, the water flows from the stone and every hungry man gets saturated when he drinks it and every thirsty man gets satiated when he drinks it, and he will need no food nor water. This food is for all members of the Imam Mahdi’s army until they enter Najaf and Kufa.

What is Islam ?

What is Islam?

reference : www.islampfr.com

 

God in His mercy had sent messengers to convey us, to different peoples, in different times. Each prophet came with guidance and miracles that were relevant for his time and for his people, but the message was the same: That there is only one God and worship is for him alone.

This “Islam” is the same as the religions brought by all the prophets of God. Islam is the same as the religion of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all) but with more details. God has in His Grace, addressed this issue to man in His final revelation, the Noble Quran.
