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.

The incredible glory and strength of Imam Mahdi (PBUH)

The incredible glory and strength of Imam Mahdi (PBUH)

 

🔅 Imam Reza (PBUH) says in a narration: “Qa’im is the one who is old at the time of his Reappearance but has a young face; and he has that much physical strength that if he lays his hand on the biggest tree on Earth, he would uproot it and if he raises his voice among mountains, mountain rocks would turn into pieces. He has the Staff of Moses and the Seal of Solomon with him.”

At Imam Jawad's (PBUH) class

⭕️ At Imam Jawad's (PBUH) class

 

♻️ Saqar ibn abi Dulaf says: “I heard Imam Jawad (PBUH) saying: “The Imam after me is my son, Ali (Hadi)… and the Imam after him is his son, Hassan (Askari)…” Then he remained silent. I said: “O son of the messenger of Allah! Who is the Imam after Hassan?” He cried severely and said: “After Hassan, his son who rises rightfully and people await for him.”

 

🔹 I said: “Why is he called Qa'im?” He said: “Because after he is forgotten and most of people who believe in his Imamate become apostate, he rises.” I said: “Why is he called the Awaited?”

 

🔸 He said: “Because he will have an Occultation, the duration of which will be long and the days of which will be many. The sincere people will wait for his rising, and those in doubt will deny him and will ridicule his remembrance and those who set a time for his Reappearance are liars and those who hasten will be destroyed; and those who are submissive will be saved.””

The eighth reason for the necessity of acquainting oneself with Imam of each era:

Not having him brings about torments

In the authentic books of the Ulema, there is a written prayer for Imam Mahdi (A.J) which reads:

“And whoever shuns you and is ignorant of your acquaintance and (consequently) chooses another person instead of you, God will throw him in fire in the face and will not accept any deed from him and will not consider any value for him on the Day of Judgment.”

False Messiah pretenders

False Messiah pretenders

The Jew’s history is filled with the passion of waiting for the apocalyptical Promised Savior. From the ancient times till now, hundreds of people have claimed to be the Messiah which has attracted the Israel naive men for a short time.

As an example, several centuries AD, a man named “Moses” was living in Crete islands, introduced himself as Messiah and all the Jewish communities were deceived by him.

One of the famous false Messiahs who died in 1676 AD is Sabbtae Zebi which left an emerging religious sect called “Dönmeh” in Turkey.

“When a false Messiah is fully welcomed, it has one important message showing that people have heard a lot about the savior. The world is waiting for the arrival, but who is the “Promised Savior”?”

The position of Imam Mahdi’s companions

The position of Imam Mahdi’s companions

Imam Baqir (PBUH) says: As if I see Imam Mahdi’s companions surrounding all over the world, from the east to the west. All creatures even wild animals and birds will obey them and look for their satisfaction, as far as one land showing off to other lands, saying:

“Today, one of Imam Mahdi’s companions passed by me”.

Is it possible for any person like Imam Mahdi (PBUH) to live this much long?

⁉️  Is it possible for any person like Imam Mahdi (PBUH) to live this much long?

 

🖌 Answer: Now, in the year 2017, Imam Mahdi (PBUH) is 1183 years old. Living long is not impossible, but unusual. While studying history, there is no one who sets a certain age for humans, animals and even for plants. Nowadays, there are some people among us who live a long life because of some conditions like hereditary factors, environment and the job type. For example:

 

🔸 Plants: More than 5000 years old trees exist in California. *1 Animals: A turtle in “Galapagos” islands with 177 years of age is the oldest animal. *2 Humans: Prophet Adam lived for 930 years, Seth son of Adam 912 years, Enosh 960 years, Keyumars 1000 years, Aad 1200 years, Prophet Noah 950 years. *3

 

🔹 Indeed if someone is familiar with holy books specially the Quran, would know miracle and extraordinary actions like Noah's Storm, the fire being cool for Abraham, Moses' rod turning to snake, the virgin birth of Jesus and Jonah’s survival in the whale's belly have already occurred in the world. Also Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) long age is not unique, but persons like Elijah, Idris, Jesus and Khidr are now alive and they are so much older than Imam Mahdi.

The seventh reason for the necessity of acquainting oneself with Imam of each era:

"One night should not pass without him"

Yahya bin Abdullah narrates that Imam Sadiq (PBUH) told him:

“O, Yahya whomever passes a night and does not who the Imam of his time is, has lived a pagan life.”

Al-Qaibat  Na´mani, Chapter 7, hadith 1

O! Lord, introduce your Imam to me…..

A good solution for precipitating the Reappearance

A good solution for precipitating the Reappearance

What kind of piety gets us nearer to the Reappearance? Only daily prayers which are performed on time and individual good deeds? If millions of people of this kind live together, but the communal life fails to be good, their piety does not thrive and is not of a great avail for the precipitation of the Reappearance! The real piety is that manifests itself in the flow of the communal life and collective work.

Imam Mahdi (A.J) in one of his commands has said: “If our Shias gather and fulfill the covenant they have toward me, very quickly the honor of seeing me will be granted to them.” {Al-Ihtijaj (2/499)}

It means that whoever expresses his allegiance to Imam Mahdi individually this would not end the occultation.

Daniel’s looking for the Savior

Daniel’s looking for the Savior

The prophet Daniel heartened the Jews when they were in hardship. Daniel’s book is a mysterious book wherein he has weird dreams and Gabriel is the one who interprets them. Its summary is as follows:

The kingdom of God is just and eternal… the son of the man and the divine kingdom will rule over the future world and His kingdom is everlasting. 1 [the son of the man in Old Testament and New Testament respectively refers to the imam mahdi

Daniel mysteriously expresses the thought about the promised. After him, another prophet called “Malachi” was also influential in globalization of such a thought.
