The difference between the belief in the Reappearance and awaiting the Reappearance
An important issue to consider is the big difference between the “belief in Reappearance” and “awaiting the Reappearance”. Because not only all Shias but also most of the other nations believe in a savior who will bring peace and justice, but not all the people who believe in this are waiting for its fulfilment.
The awaiting person not only believes in Imam Mahdi (PBUH) but also has the hope to see him and all his actions are based on hope and expectation. All the quotes that praise the expectation for Imam Mahdi (PBUH) insist on the necessity of having hope and realizing his reappearance.
Seyyed Morteza Mujtahidi Sistani, the introduction of “Sahifeh Mahdieh”.
This means that the belief and
thoughts that we will not see that Beloved Savior in our lifetime is forbidden.
