Recognizing the symptoms of the Reappearance

Recognizing the symptoms of the Reappearance 

Recognizing the symptoms of Imam Mahdi’s Reappearance is one of the important duties of the awaiting people during the occultation, especially those signs which our Imams have informed us about.

The book Mikyal-al-Makarim

Everyone is needed to pledge allegiance to Imam Mahdi after his Reappearance and this is impossible without having knowledge about the Reappearance.

Imam Sadiq says: "Five symptoms are inevitable before the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi which include: “Yamani, Sufiani, a loud cry from the Heavens, the murder of the pure soul, and the ground subsides in the area of Al-Bayda."

Kamal al-Din and Tamam al-Nimeh, chapter 57 

Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani says:

"Recognizing the symptoms of the Reappearance is obligatory."

Intense conflicts between Jews

Intense conflicts between Jews

There is a great deal of common ground between Christians and Jews; that is their historical background

is the same; in fact, the Jewish greats are the Christian greats.

Matthew, chapter 15, verse 17

But is Jesus, the Promised Savior that is mentioned in the books of Isaiah, Zechariah and Daniel?

Some Jews believe that Jesus is the Messiah and Savior, but some of them rejected the idea, and because of that they tortured Jesus and his followers severely! In fact, Christ’s persecution was plotted by the Jewish priests.

Messiah (Jesus) is the minister of Mahdi

Messiah (Jesus) is the minister of Mahdi

The prophet of Islam (PBUH) said: “When Mahdi (A.J) sees Jesus, he will say to him “Come and lead people in the prayer”. Jesus (PBUH) says: “This grand prayer has been arranged for you to be performed and he stands behind Mahdi (A.J) and pledges allegiance to him.

Muntakhab al –Asar, page 316

And we also read in the book of “Malahem” by Ibn Tawus that Jesus says:

“I am selected as a minister not as a leader.”

The last successor in the Quran

The last successor in the Quran

“(And remember) when Abraham was tested by his lord with certain words and he fulfilled them…”

Mufaddal says that I asked Imam Sadiq (PBUH), “What does “words” mean in this verse?” the Imam said: “The same words which Adam learnt from his Lord and repented. When he said: “O Lord, for the sake of Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussein, accept my repentance, and his repentance was accepted. He accepts repentance and He is merciful.” He again asked the Imam: “What does “َفأتَمَّهُن” mean? Imam said: “Allah completed them to 12 Imams, the last one of whom is # the Qa’im.

The protection provided by twelve Caliphs

The protection provided by twelve Caliphs

Shiites – and also Sunnis – believe that the prophet has ensured the survival and dignity of Islam until the Judgment Day through the protection provided by twelve Caliphs. Sunnis have been incapable of introducing these twelve Caliphs; however, for Shiites, these twelve divine Caliphs are identified. Through studying the history of their lives, it is revealed that unfortunately, "oppressive regimes’ pressure" caused "the birth of the last divine caliph" to happen in secret, like that of Abraham and Moses.   This form of birth, created doubts; therefore, most of the Sunnis deny his birth. Shia scholars, so far, have written numerous books to prove his birth.

son of man

imam mahdi ( twelfth imam ) in the bible

You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”(luke 12:40 )

12th Imam of Shia Muslims who is mentioned in the Bible as “Son of Man” (Luke 12:40) will return in the future and after him Prophet  Jesus will also return and affirms him. The 12th Imam or Imam Mahdi is Imam of kindness and mercy and Imam of all people in the world. He shall guide human beings to prosperity.

His main aim is to fight injustice, inequity, racism, warmongering, violence and every other negative ideology and act that has widely spread across the world and to establish justice, peace, welfare , kindness and friendship among all nations in the world. Among the main enemies of the 12th Imam are extremists and terrorists such as ISIL and Al-Qaeda who, behind the mask of a false version of Islam, commit crimes against people and humanity in different parts of the world. After the return of Imam Mahdi, world will be a much safer, happier and better place to live.

Mourning for Imam Hussein (PBUH)

Mourning for Imam Hussein (PBUH)

Imam Mahdi says in the Ziyarat of Nahiya Al-Moqaddasa about Ashura and Imam Hussein: 🔹“If times put me off and prevented me from helping you in Ashura, I will definitely be crying for you from down to dust and I will be shedding blood instead of tears.”

Imam Sadiq says: “No mourner cries for Imam Hussein unless he/she has reinforced his ties with Lady Fatima (PBUH) and has fulfilled the right we (Ahl-al-Bayt) have toward them.”

The book "Kamil al-Ziyarat", vol. 81, section 26

Hence, when a believer cries for the sorrow of Imam Hussein, he/she has fulfilled the right of the next Imam after him because it shows his/her agreement with the Imam and it consoles him.

Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) loneliness

Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) loneliness

Imam Musa al-Kadhim (PBUH) said: “He is in exile, alone and absent from his family and is the avenger of his father.”

Kamal- al-Din, Chapter 34, Hadith 4

 Allameh Seyed Mohammad Taqi Mousavi Isfahani:

Be aware that “exile” has two meanings:  

1-Being away from one’s family, home and town.

2-And having few friends.

And Imam Mahdi (PBUH) is in exile in both senses.

Therefore, O believers, help him, O believers, help him.

The dignity of the night of 15th of Shaban

The dignity of the night of 15th of Shaban

🔆 Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said: “No baby is born on the same night when our Qa’im (Imam Mahdi) (PBUH) was born, unless he/she will be a true believer. If he/she is born in the non-Muslim countries, God will guide him/her towards faith for the sake of of Imam Mahdi’s blessing (PBUH).”

 (Tozih al-Maqased, Sheikh Baha’i, page 532 )

🔹 According to some narrations, the night of 15th of Shaban is the same Qadr night in which the aliment and lifespan are ordained. Some narrations say that the 15th of Shaban is the Imams’ night and the Qadr night belongs to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

🔺 One of the dignities of this night is that it is one of those special nights to salute Imam Hussein’s (PBUH) shrine as hundred thousand prophets make a pilgrimage to Imam Hussein’s (PBUH) shrine on this night. The special prayer of this night is two-rak’at prayer that in each rak’at, you should recite sura Al-Fatiha once and then recite 100 times sura Al-Ikhlas.

 (Bihar al-Anwar, volume 51, page 322)

313 companions in the Quran

313 companions in the Quran

“So race in goodness and wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together”

Imam Baqir (PBUH) interprets this verse in this way: “Allah, without any prior appointment, will gather Mahdi’s 313 companions, whose number equals the companions of the Battle of Badr, around him in Mecca, like the pieces of cloud in autumn. O Jabir, this is what Allah means by wherever you are, He will gather all of you together.”
