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.” 

Mafatih al Janan. Ziarat Sahib al-amr

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.

Readiness to accept Imam’s global Governance

Readiness to accept Imam’s global Governance

In order to accept a government, the world must be prepared in many different ways:

A) The intellectual and cultural preparation: The level of the world public viewpoints should be so high to know that the difference in color (racism), language and land can’t separate mankind from each other.

B) Social preparation: the world must be tired of oppression and evil regimes and demand a peacemaker for the salvation of mankind.

C) Technology and communication preparation: Contrary to what some people think that the new technology must be destroyed before the beginning of the global governance, not only the existence of these industries is not an obstacle to the concept of the “Global Governance” but also it maybe impossible to achieve such a goal without it, because it is necessary to use post-modern equipment to create and control a global system.

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 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.
