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

"It is the way of salvation from the death in which a Muslim according to the Prophet’s Hadith is considered as a pagan if he is not aware of the Imam of his Era”

 The Holy Prophet said: 

“Anyone dies without knowing his Imam, in fact has died has died living a pagan life.” 

Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p.76

 Acquainting oneself with the Imam of each era has two branches:

1. Knowing his birth information (name, title, father's name, place of birth, year of birth)

2. Getting to know all the traits, and characteristics of Imam Mahdi’s Imamate, Reappearance signs, pre- and post-emergence events, his holy government, people’s tasks in the occultation, Raj’a (Second coming) and .......

How much knowledge do we have toward our Imam? Are we faithful or just Muslims? God willing we are not considered as causes which have been mentioned so far or will be mentioned later

What kind of waiting ?

What kind of waiting?

The waiting that it spoken about, is not just sitting and weeping! We must prepare ourselves to become the 

soldiers of Imam Mahdi (PBUH)

Awaiting for Faraj [the coming of Imam Mahdi] means to be prepared completely for the goal for which Imam Mahdi (PBUH) will rise up. That great historical revolution ...

The philosophy of the Jewish Messiah

The philosophy of the Jewish Messiah

The literal meaning of the Hebraic term for Messiah is “Anointed”. Israelites used to pour some oil on the Kings’ head and anoint it and therefore referred to the King as “Messiah” and considered obeying him as an obligation. “Messiah” was first the title of the kings and over the time its meaning was changed to the “Savior”

Israelites sought the help of Samuel (the Prophet) during the worst troubles, he anointed King Saul and therefore the term Messiah as “Anointed” was first used for King Saul. But was King Saul really the Messiah (meaning the promised one)? [To be continued]

"Faith in the Absent Imam"

"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:

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

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

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

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.

son of man

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 .
