Seeking the Savior in Different Religions - First series

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

 

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?

Visiting Imam Mahdi and Its Stories - First series

Just sinners read!

Sayyed Ibn Tawus says: “One early morning I was in the Sacred Cellar of Samarra, suddenly I heard my master, Imam Mahdi (PBUH), praying for his Shia:”

 “O Allah! You have created our Shia from our light and our remaining clay, they have sinned in reliance on our affection and our Wilayah; if their sins are related to You, forgive them that it makes us happy and what of their sins is related to them, correct them… and save them from the fire of hell, and do not gather them and our enemies together for Your wrath.”

(The book “Barakat e Hazrat e Wali-Asr” (the blessings of Imam Mahdi (PBUH)), p. 399)

Where are those who are afraid of their affectionate Imam because of their sins and find his Reappearance detrimental to them?

 

Iran, the land of Shiites of Imam Mahdi (PBUH)

After the pressures that escalated the situation of our country during the First World War and enemies rushed to occupy Iran, late Mirza Naeini (a great Shia scholar) complained to Imam Mahdi (PBUH). Mr. Naeini says:

 “I groaned a lot and complained to Imam Mahdi (PBUH). One day a revelation happened to me and I saw Imam Mahdi (PBUH) standing and beckoning me with his finger to look at a very high wall that was bent. Then I saw that Imam’s finger is pointing to the wall and he said:

 “This wall is Iran. It bends, but we have held it with our finger and we won’t let it be fallen. This is “our land of Shiites”, it bends, but we won’t let it be fallen.””

(The book “Majales e Imam Mahdi (PBUH) (Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) meetings)”; p. 261)

The words of scholars - First series

Ayatollah Bahjat :

What sufferings (hardships) are incurred by Imam Mahdi (PBUH) who is the owner of the whole planet earth and how does he feel and how do we feel? He is in prison and is not happy and we are absolutely ignorant… 

In Bahjat’s Company, vol 1, p106

My friend, think about your Leader’s exile during which this vast world has become a jail for him...

 

The difference between Shiites belief in the Savior and others’

The difference that we Shiites have with other Islamic and non-Islamic sects is that we know this dear and great person; his name, his date of birth, his parents and his beloved ancestors, we know his “concerns”, but others do not know these... That's why Shiites’ resorts are "livelier" and "more enthusiastic" and "more meaningful" and "more focused"...

The basic principle of Mahdism principle is agreed on among all Muslims... But in the main part which is the "the knowledge of the Savior himself" there is inconsistent insight. Shiites, through their certain news, know the Savior by his name, specification, and his date of birth.

ذکر و شکر

{اهمیت و چرایی دعا برای ظهور - شماره 19}

 

بدون شک، نعمت وجود امام و برکات حضور او در عالم، از بزرگترین نعمتهای خداوند مهربان است و دعا کردن برای ان حضرت، نوعی قدردانی از نعمت امام و شکر گزاری به درگاه اوست؛ چنان که غفلت از دعا برای امام مهدی عجل الله فرجه به گونه ای ناسپاسی و کفران نعمت الهی است.

قرآن کریم در سوره ضحی می فرماید:

وأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّکَ فَحَدِّثْ. معنی: ﻭ ﻧﻌﻤﺖ ﻫﺎﻯ ﭘﺮﻭﺭﺩﮔﺎﺭﺕ ﺭﺍ ﺑﺎﺯﮔﻮ ﻛﻦ. یعنی خدا دوست دارد انسان نعمت های او را یاد کند، تا نعمت بودن آنها را فراموش نکند و فرصت بهره مندی از آنها را از دست ندهد.

با این بیان، دعا برای امام مهدی هم شکرِ خدا است و هم ذکرِ حضرت مهدی؛ یعنی با توسل و دعا، رابطه ای پیوسته با امام برقرار می کنی و یاد و نام او را همیشه و همه جا در قلب و جانت زنده نگه می داری.

[کتاب نگین آفرینش۲، ص۳۳]

Imam Mahdi in the Narrations - First series

Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) signs

Imam Sajjad (PBUH) said: “Our Qa’im has signs from six prophets:

1- a sign from Noah (PBUH);

2- a sign from Ibrahim (PBUH);

3- a sign from Jesus (PBUH);

4- a sign from Moses (PBUH);

5- a sign from Jacob (PBUH);

6- a sign from Muhammad (PBUH).”

 “But his sign from Noah (PBUH) is the long life; his sign from Ibrahim (PBUH) is the secrecy of his birthplace; his sign from Moses (PBUH) is his fear of enemy and absence that Moses (PBUH) left Egypt to Midian due to his fear of Pharaoh and his army and was hidden for a while; his sign from Jesus (PBUH) is dispute among people about him and his seclusion from people; his sign from Jacob (PBUH) is his victory over problems and troubles; and his sign from Muhammad (PBUH) is his insurrection by sword.”

( The book of A’alam al-Vara, p. 290)

In some narrations a sign from Joseph (PBUH) is mentioned and that is being imprisoned.

 

The incredible glory and strength of Imam Mahdi (PBUH)

Imam Reza (PBUH) says in a narration: “Qa’im is the one who is old at the time of his Reappearance but has a young face; and he has that much physical strength that if he lays his hand on the biggest tree on Earth, he would uproot it and if he raises his voice among mountains, mountain rocks would turn into pieces. He has the Staff of Moses and the Seal of Solomon with him.”

(Kashf al-Ghumma, 3:445, Ea’lam al-Wara 407)

The Merciful Government of Imam Mahdi - First series

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

 

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

Acquainting oneself with the Imam of each era - First series

What is the necessity of knowing Imam Mahdi?

To answer this question, first it is necessary to pay attention to 11 reasons for the importance of acquainting oneself with Imam Mahdi.

1-The first reason: the reason of Man’s Creation

Imam Hussein told his companions:

“O people, Allah has not created humans except to know him. When they recognized him, they worship him. When they worship him, for the blessing of this prayer, they do not need to worship entities than God.”

A man asked: “What’s the recognition of God?”

the Imam said:

“That is, people of any age should know the Imam whom they should obey the commands of his.” 

Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p. 83

The result: Knowing God = Getting to know the Imam of each era 

 

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"

دین سفیانی

{علائم ظهور - شماره 19}

 

نسبت به دین سفیانی چند مدل روایت به دست ما رسیده، از آنجا که اَسناد آنها از اعتبار کافی برخوردار نیست لذا ما نمی توانیم درباره دین سفیانی به نظر قاطعانه ای دست یابیم. البته درباره گرایش های دینی او این مطلب قطعی ست که دشمنی و تعصب شدیدی بر شیعیان دارد.

به هر حال، ظاهرا سفیانی در ابتدا مسلمان است اما در نهایت به آیین مسیحیان می گرود، انگیزه این گرایش می تواند بهره گیری از امکانات غرب در رویارویی با حرکت امام مهدی علیه السلام باشد.

سرانجام جهان

{منجی در ادیان - شماره 23}

 

طبق آموزه های هِندو، حرکت جهان در زمان، به «شکل دَوَرانی» ست؛ یعنی آغاز جهان کنونی که ما در آن زندگی می کنیم، نقطه پایان مرحله دیگری از هستی می باشد [بصورت حرکت دایره وار] در پایان هر دور، جهان به پایان می رسد و پیش از آن برای ورود به دورِ جدید آماده می شود.

برخی ادیان قائل به «حرکت خطی» جهان هستند؛ یعنی عالم در نقطه ای آغاز شده و در نقطه ای هم به پایان می رسد؛ مثل انسانی که یکبار زائیده می شود و یکبار می میرد، جهان نیز فقط «یکبار» به پایان می رسد.

بودا و هندو قائل به حرکت دَورانی (یا همان دایره وار) هستند / زرتشت، یهود، مسیحیت و اسلام قائل به حرکت خطی اند.

[منجی در ادیان، شاکری، ص۲۱۶]
