"Faith in the Absent Imam"
The translation of verse 3 of Surah Al-Baqarah:
Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them.
Davood Raqee saying that Imam Sadiq said in the interpretation of this verse:
“Pious people are people who have faith in the uprising of Imam Mahdi (Qa’im) and admit it which is of course right.
Ithbat al-hudat, v. 5, p. 72
The third reason of the necessity of knowing the Imam of each era:
"It is a condition of the acceptance of deeds”
Muawiyah ibn Ammar asked Imam Sadiq about this verse “And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.” (7:180). The Imam answered:
“I swear to God that we are the Lord’s Good Names so that God does not accept any deed of humans unless they know us.”
Usul al-Kafi, chapter: Al-navader
Indeed,
what kind of knowledge is this? Which is so important? We’ll mention it later.
Seeking the Savior in the Bible
Jesus Christ says about the Apocalypse: “Nations will be at war! Famine, pestilence and earthquakes will occur! People will hate each other! The sun will darken and the moon will have no light!”
Matthew, chapter24, verses 1to6
Whatever is said, this prophecy is much scarier than the terrible flood of Noah and the tale of Lot's folk!!! More importantly, humanity must experience and pass through all these calamities so that it can acquire the "merit" of believing in "the belief of salvation"! It is here that God does not get involved directly in "Saving" but sends his messengers to save the believers! Such as sending Moses, like sending Jesus...
Is it not the time for our "Savior Seeking" to get deeper?
Economy in the time of Reappearance
Imam Baqir (PBUH) said:
“World wealth will be accumulated and will be in the possession of Mahdi (PBUH); the wealth beneath the ground and the wealth on the ground; then he will tell people, “Come and take what you cut the ties for” (i.e. materialism)
“So he will give (everyone) as much wealth that no one before him had not given to another and he provides the earth with utter justice.”
Qeibat Na’mani P. 237
The leaders of the occultation
Imam Hadi(PBUH) said :
In the occultation of our Qa’im, if there weren’t any scholars and sages who invite people to Imam Mahdi or any defenders of the religion or helper to save unable people from evil’s and enemies’ traps, all people would stop following God’s religion and would become a pagan.
Scholars and sages, who save weak and poor Shia Muslims like a captain who guides a ship, are better and beloved ones for God.
Al-Ihtijaj,
volume 1, page 18
A clever and meaningful answer
2-The second reason is the necessity of knowing the Imam of each era:
"It is a sign of faith"
Aban ibn Taghlib says: “I asked Imam Sadiq: Is a person faithful if he knows all Imams except for the Imam of his own era? The Imam said: “No.” I asked again: Is he considered as a Muslim?
The Imam answered: “Yes.”
The Source: Kamal al-Din and Tamam Al-Nimeh
The important lesson:
"Every Muslim is not considered as a faithful one"
Savior Seeking in the Quran
Throughout history, in order to survive the catastrophes, people were waiting for a "savior"! Like Noah who saved people from drowning in a storm! Saving Lot from the city full of lustful people! Saving the Israelites from Pharaohs!
Therefore, due to this, God removed people with lustful life off the history; those who rejected Noah were destroyed! People of Sodom (Lut’s Tribe) were burned by the lightning! And also the drowning of Pharaohs in the Nile…
Therefore this whine of those who wait for a savior “Where is the destroyer of the buildings of hypocrisy and blasphemy? ” has a Quranic root.
Sura/Verse: ash-shu`araa' (The Poets) 169, Yoonus 73, al-Anbiyaa' (The Prophets) 71, al-Baqarah (The Cow) 49

⭕️ الاستنجاد بالمخلص فی القرآن
This greek text is from one of the old bible
Translation: At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn (smite the breast) and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory . Matthew 24:30
Annual people are smiting the breast(slow hit to your chest) in arbaeen (one of the public Religious gatherings that people come from all over the world) and they help together in the way and you see only kindness. Son of man(imam mahdi) will come with jesus christ (son of god in the bible) and they spread justice all over the world .
You can be helper or lover them if you like spreading justice and destroying injustice for ever.
Blessings in the time of Reappearance
The Holy Prophet said:
“In the era of Imam Mahdi (PBUH), the earth puts out its treasures such as pieces of gold and silver,
The thief comes forward and says:
“Was my hand cut for a thing like this?”
The murderer comes forward and says:
“Did I commit murder for such an object?”
The one who hasn’t maintained ties with his family says:
“Did I cut the ties (with my relatives) for such a thing?”
Then these pieces of gold and silver remain on the ground and nobody has the slightest desire to take them.”
Besharat al-Islam p.71

🔅 قال رسول الله (ص) :
تقیء الأرض أفلاذ کبدها أمثال الأسطوان من الذهب و الغضة فیجیء 🔺القاتل فیقول فی هذا قتلت ویجیء 🔺 القاطع فیقول فی هذا قطعت رحمی ویجیء 🔺السارق فیقول فی هذا قطعت یدی ثم یدعونه فلا یأخذون منه شیئا.
📚 کتاب بشارة الإسلام ص۷۱
" برکت در زمان ظهور "
پیامبر اکرم فرمودند :
در عصر حضرت مهدی ، زمین جگر پاره های خود را چون قطعات طلا و نقره بیرون می ریزد،
دزد آمده می گوید :
من برای نظیر این اموال بود که دستم بریده شد؟
قاتل آمده می گوید :
من برای چنین کالایی مرتکب قتل شدم؟
قاطع (صله) رحم آمده می گوید :
من برای چنین چیزی قطع (صله) رحم کردم !
آنگاه این استوانه های طلا و نقره روی زمین می ماند و کسی رغبت نمی کند که چیزی از آن بردارد "
بشارة الاسلام ص ۷۱
Who is 12 th imam ?
Who is imam Mahdi ?
Who is imam hussain ?
Who is twelfth imam ?
who is son of man ?
“Constant expectation for Imam Mahdi’s Reappearance”
One of the duties of the awaiting people is to wait for his reappearance and to prepare themselves for that enormous event. God in the Quran accounts worshiping as a goal of human creation.”
The Prophet says while interpreting this verse in the Quran that the best worship is expectation for Imam Mahdi’s Reappearance
Mekyal al-Makarem, volume 2
A reminder:
We should examine ourselves to see
how much we are really waiting for Imam Mahdi.
