Like diamond ...

Like diamond ...

You can use “A piece of very valuable multi-carat diamond," in two ways:

Whether you use it as a "precious stone” or as a “calibration weight of scales" which is used in scale instead of a few-gram stone and weigh pepper and turmeric with it! Certainly, the right way of diamond usage is not using it as a calibration weight of scales!

Imam Mahdi (PBUH), this precious jewel, must be in position of “ Command,” and "" Ruling the world” we shouldn’t behave him like this, because he is much more precious than what we think ...

"Salvation from the being misled in the Occultation"

The text from : islampfr.com

The sixth reason to get acquaintance of the Imam of each era:

"Salvation from the being misled in the Occultation"

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) has said:

“Get to know the Imam of your era, if you know him, whether the Reappearance occurs quickly or late, you won’t incur any losses.”

Al-Qaibat  Na´mani, Chapter 25.

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said:

“If you experience the Occultation, persist on reciting this prayer:   O! God, introduce your Imam to me, otherwise I will go astray from my religion.”

Kamal al-Din and Tamam Al-Nimeh, Chapter 33

A reminder: we should not forget that Shimr also saw the Imam of his era but did not recognize him.

Greater than Imagination...

I cannot refer to him as the leader, he is greater than this. I cannot say the he is the first person, because there is not any second person (throughout the ranks)! We cannot describe him with any description other than “The Promised Mahdi”. He is the one that God has saved for the mankind.

Savior seeking in the words of Isaiah

Savior seeking in the words of Isaiah

Isaiah lived 700 years before Christ's coming and used to deal with the issue of the emergence of a “Savior” more than other prophets. In his words, the best instance to save the Israelites was a person named "Immanuel". (Immanuel, literally, means God is with us)

Prior to Isaiah the concept of Messiah and the Savior did not have a universal perspective. But after him "the Concept of Messiah" remained active and Messiah has acquired a global function.

The prophets after him also promised a better future and the advent of a Messiah and an immortal religious government until the light of prophethood reached Daniel (PBUH)...

Isaiah, chapter 7, verse 14

An entirely monotheistic system of governing

An entirely monotheistic system of governing

There will be a time during which all the inhabitants of earth believe in monotheism and reject polytheism:

Imam Sadiq (PBUH), describing the inclusive and universal government of Imam Mahdi (PBUH), stated that:

“In the East and the West of the world, there will not be anyone who does not believe in the oneness of God and monotheism.”

Bihar al-Anwar, volume 52, p. 340

Like prayer beads…

Like prayer beads…

The narrator said: “I asked Imam Sadiq (PBUH) about certain signs of the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi if it will take so long?”

The Imam said: “No, they will happen as a regular string continuously.”

Similarity to Prophet Abraham

Similarity to Prophet Abraham

The translation of Verse 68 of Surah Al-Imran:

Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allah] and this prophet, and those who believe [in his message]. And Allah is the ally of the believers.

In its explanation

Imam Baqir said: “By Allah! As if I am looking at (imagining) him [Qa’im] that he is leaning against Hajar al Asvad (the Black Stone), and then swears to God for the sake of Allah’s dignity and then says: 'O people! anyone who wants to have and argument about God with me, I am the most deserving for it, and anyone who want to argue about Adam with me, I deserve it most, anyone who wants to argue about Noah with me, I deserve it most , anyone who wishes to argue with me about Abraham, I deserve it most.

Qeibat Na’mani, p.182

features of imam mahdi

God has given outstanding features (features of all prophets from first to last) to Imam Mahdi (PBUH) that has not given to any of the other Imams.

Imam Mahdi (PBUH) has inherited long life and patience from Noah, iconoclasm from Abraham, rebellion against the tyrant from Moses, judgment from Solomon, beauty and governance form Joseph, bright miracles from Jesus and uprising and universal revolution from Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). All the angels and even the angels of Badr and Uhud (Two Islamic Battles) and, in addition, 313 of special elites from all over the Islamic cities will be at his service. These are great transformations which require preparations. All these preparations must be made by Muslims and Shiites and most importantly people should be ready to accept his orders.

The Concept of Seeking the Savior in Judaism

The Concept of Seeking the Savior in Judaism

King Saul was certainly the "savior", however, he was just to save "a tribe" which reached its perfection in the time of David and Solomon and it was the example of what God had promised Israelites; in a way that for all the Jewish scholars, the idea was raised that David’s Messianic government will continue forever.

But some time later, the cohesive government of Solomon, was separated into two pieces! Therefore, David and Solomon’s Messianism would also fade away. From this time onwards waiting for the promised one got longer as the misery and suffering of the Jews grew...

Where is the ultimate Savior and Redeemer? Who is the best person to save the Israelites?

A government based on the Quran

A government based on the Quran

Imam Ali (PBUH), in an expressive statement, describes the Quranic government of Imam Mahdi (PBUH) as the following:

At a time when passion (people’s selfishness) rules, Imam Mahdi (PBUH) will rise up and will replace passion with guidance and salvation of souls and in an age when self-ideology is prioritized over the Holy Quran, will drag the attentions towards the Quran and makes it rule over the society.
