Breaking the glass, breaking the pottery
Imam Sadiq’s (PBUH) warnings:
1-I swear to God, you will break undoubtedly such as shattering of a glass but glass can be recycled (by melting and reproducing). I swear to God you will break like pottery, very truly it does not return to original condition.
2-“I swear to God you will be screened and distinguished from each other undoubtedly and you will be selected until a few of you remain.”
(Al-Qaibat Na´mani, page 307)
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.
