The words of scholars - The fourth series

“To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return”

If your view is like some deviated illiterates that impiety and injustice should be propagated to prepare the way for the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (PBUH), then “To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return”!

Don’t say leave it till Imam Mahdi (PBUH) comes. Do you postpone your prayers till Imam Mahdi (PBUH) comes? [If saying the prayers is this way, so undoubtedly] The “preservation of Islam” is more necessary than prayers. Do not follow the logic of the governor of Khumain who said: “Sins and crimes should be prevailed so Imam Mahdi (PBUH) coms!”

[Which verse has commanded to commit a sin?!]

“Imam Khomeini”

The Sahifeh of Imam Khomeini, vol. 21, p. 447

The Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist, Imam Khomeini, p. 58 

 

Imam Mahdi (PBUH) doesn’t come, he should be brought…

Haj Ismail Dulabi says: “It seems that he (Imam Mahdi (PBUH)) comes, but actually we will be admitted to the presence of him. We went behind the walls of the world and got lost, we should come out behind the walls to find out that he (Imam Mahdi (PBUH)) was present from the outset. Imam Mahdi (PBUH) has not gotten lost and hidden. We have gotten lost and hidden.”

Misbah al-Huda, p. 319

It has been narrated from Lady Fatimah (PBUH) that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “An Imam is like the Kaaba that people should go towards it, not that they wait for an Imam to come towards them.”

Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 36, p. 353

He won’t come till we want…

We should just start from ourselves…

استغاثه ی مردی سنّی

{حکایات و تشرفات - شماره 27}

 

شیخ علی رشتی نقل میکرد: از راه آب فرات به سمت نجف می رفتم. در کِشتی جماعتی را دیدم اهل حلّه که مشغول لهو و لعب بودند. جز یک نفر که آثار سکینه و وقار از او ظاهر بود و آن جماعت مذهب او را مورد تمسخر قرار داده و بر او عیب می گرفتند. با آن شخص هم صحبت و دلیل را جویا شدم.

گفت: آن جماعت خویشان من هستند و از اهل سنت. پدرم نیز از ایشان بود و مادرم از اهل ایمان و من نیز به برکت حضرت صاحب الزمان شیعه شدم. از کیفیت آن سوال کردم گفت: برای تجارت همراه دوستان از حلّه بیرون رفتم. در مسیر برگشت دوستان خود را گم کردم. راه ما از صحرای بی آب و علفی بود که درّندگان بسیاری داشت. متحیر ماندم و از گرسنگی و عطش ترس داشتم. پس استغاثه کردم به خُلفا و مشایخ و ایشان را شفیع کردم و تضرّع نمودم. فرجی ظاهر نشد.

از مادرم شنیده بودم که میگفت: ما امام زنده ای داریم که کُنیه اش اباصالح است. گمشدگان را به راه و درماندگان را به فریاد میرسد. با خدا عهد کردم: من به آن حضرت استغاثه میکنم اگر مرا نجات داد، به دین مادرم درآیم.پس او را ندا کردم و استغاثه نمودم. ناگاه کسی را دیدم که با من راه میرود و بر سرش عمامه سبزی ست. آنگاه راه را به من نشان داد و فرمود که به دین مادرم درآیم. پس از نظرم غایب شد. پس از اندکی به حلّه رسیدم و روز بعد برای آموختن معالم دین نزد سید مهدی قزوینی رفتم.

[منتهی الامال، باب چهاردهم، ص۱۳۵۴]

مولای من، راه را گم کرده ایم، راه را نشانمان بده و نجاتمان ده...

Imam Mahdi in the Quran - The fourth series

Action = “obligatory”; haste= “forbidden”

“(Inevitable) cometh (to pass) the Command of Allah: seek ye not then to hasten it… [The Quran, Surah16, Verse 1]”

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) says while interpreting this verse: “[the Command of Allah] is our command; implying the rise of “Qa'im” of Ahl al-Bayt, that Allah has ordered not to hasten it … Allah will support him with three armies of angels, believers and panic [among the enemies]…”

(Tafsir al-Ayyashi, vol. 2, p. 254

Kamal al-Din and Tamam al-Nimeh, vol. 42, p. 671)

 

“The loud cry from the Heavens” in the Quran

Abd al-Rahman says: “I told Imam Sadiq (PBUH): “The enemies blame us and call us liars! We say “There will be two loud crys from the Heavens” They say: “When both are from the Heavens then how will be distinguished Truth from Falsehood?”” Imam said: “What did you say?” I said: “Nothing!” He said: “Tell them when the loud cry is yelled, whoever has believed in it before will confirm it; has the almighty Allah not said:””

“Is then He Who gives guidance to truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you? How judge ye?” [The Quran, Surah 10, Verse 35]

حذف تجملات و تجمل گرایی

{دولت کریمه امام عصر - شماره 31}

 

شخصی نزد معاویه رفت و سفره ای انداختند که همه رنگ غذا در آن دیده میشد و آن شخص یک غذا را نشناخت و از معاویه درباره آن غذا پرسید و او گفت: روده های مرغابی است که از مغز آنرا پر کرده و با روغن پسته سرخ شده و شکر بر آن پاشیده اند.

آن فرد به گریه افتاد و گفت یاد علی افتادم که نزد او بودم و هنگام افطار، کیسه ای سربسته برایش آوردند. پرسیدم این چیست و چرا سربسته است. فرمود: آردی است از سبوس جو. میترسم حسن یا حسین آن را به روغن مخلوط نمایند.*۱

در سیره امام زمان نیز اینگونه در احادیث آمده که : لباس حضرت قائم، جز جامه خشن(مثل لباس جنگ) و غذای او جز غذای ناگوار(نان جو ساده) نیست.*۲

تذکّر و رفع اشتباه: مفهوم ویژگی هایی که در سیره اهل بیت ذکر شد، به هیچ وجه این نیست که از نعمت های الهی و زیبایی های دنیا نباید بهره گرفت. بلکه منظور دوری از حرص و فخر به مال و تجمّل گرایی و حُبّ به دنیاست.

[۱-نثرالدرر به نقل از اصل الشیعه و اصولها ۲-غیبت نعمانی باب۱۳ ح۲۰]

The Merciful Government of Imam Mahdi - The fourth series

Omission of luxuries and luxurism

A person came to Muawiyah and a tablecloth was spread before him that foods with any color were on it and he didn’t recognize one of them. He asked Muawiyah what was that food and he answered: “The stomach of duck filled with sheep’s brain, fried in pistachio oil and sprinkled with sugar.”

That person came to tears and said: “I recalled that I was with Ali (PBUH) at the time of Iftar (the time for breaking fast) and a sealed bag was brought for him. I asked: “What is in it and why is it sealed?” He said: “It is barley flour. I’m afraid Hassan or Hussain mix it with oil.”” *1

It is said in Seerah (the life history, behavior and habits) of Imam Mahdi (PBUH) in narrations that: “His cloths are not but rough (like battle outfit) and his food is not but coarse (barley bread).” *2

Note and elimination of misunderstanding: The concept of what was said about the Seerah of Ahl al-Bayt is not to avoid enjoying divine favours and the beauties of the world at all. But it is to avoid greed and pride to properties and luxurism and desire for the world.

(1-Nasr al-Dorar quoted from Asl al-Shia wa Usuloha. 2-Al-Ghayba al-Nu'mani, ch. 13, Hadith 20)

 

The safety, after the Reappearance

While before Imam Mahdi’s Reappearance unsafety is prevalent all over the world, one of his most fundamental undertakings is restoring safety to the society. By subtle programming at that time, safety is shortly restored to the society in all fields, the kind of safety that humankind has never experienced before. Safety has different aspects that we mention three of them herein:

1- The road safety: So that young females can travel from places to places without a Mahram accompanying with them and they are safe.

2- The judicial safety: So that people are not afraid that there is a possibility of trampling their rights.

3- The financial safety: It is so widespread that if someone puts his hand in other’s pocket, it wouldn’t be considered theft.

There are narrations (Hadithes) for all the above cases, but for the sake of brevity, we are equally satisfied by what mentioned before.

اختلاف در مبانی

{دلایل عقلی امامت و مهدویت - شماره 26}

 

با وجود اصحاب پیامبر و شخصیت‌های برجسته فراوانی که در تاریخ اسلام و در ادوار مختلف تاریخی قدرت اجتهاد داشته‌اند، همچنان اختلاف در مبانی، اصول و فروع معارف اسلام، به قوت خود باقی است. در حقیقت این همه اختلاف و افتراق نتیجه همان عدم تمسک به ثقلین یعنی قرآن و امامان معصوم است.

مقام امامت برخوردار از الهامات، اشراقات ربانی و بهره‌مند از مواهب رفیع خداوندی و متصل به منبع علم الاهی است. بنابراین تبدیل شناخت ظاهری و سطحی از قرآن به شناختی همه جانبه، تفسیر صحیح، تطبیق مصادیق، بیان دقیق زوایای گوناگون و شرح بطون متعدد آن، نیازمند علم و عرفان خارق العاده و لدّنی وجود مقدس امام و وصی به حق رسول اعظم است.

قرآن قلیل اللفظ و کثیرالمعانی، موجز اما در اوج کمال، شامل بر ناسخ و منسوخ، منقطع و مستمر، تنزیل و تأویل، محکم و متشابه، ظاهر و باطن، عام و خاص، مطلق و مقید، و… است. با تکیه بر ازدحام دلایل، فحص غالب و ضرس قاطع می‌ توان گفت: استیلا بر حدود و صغور، رمز و رازهای سر به مهر، بطون متعدد باطنی، حقیقت واقعی اعجاز آن و علم به ضمیر واقعی وحی در انحصار فهم نبی، وصی و امامان معصوم است.

Acquainting oneself with the Imam of each era - The fourth series

An enthusiastic letter from father

The confirmation of the news of Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) birth

Ahmad bin Ishaq Qummi says: “When the pious successor (Imam Mahdi (PBUH)) was born, a letter came to my grandfather from my master, Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) written “in his own handwriting” saying:

“A son has been born to us and this news should be kept to you and hidden from people; because we do not unveil this news to anyone except our “relatives” and “close associates”. We wanted to tell you this news so Allah makes you happy as He made us happy, and no more.””

(Kamal al-Din and Tamam al-Nimeh, ch. 42, Hadith 15)

 

Offering Aqiqa for Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) birth

One of the recommended traditions in the religion is to offer the infant’s Aqiqa (to sacrifice a sheep) that affects the baby’s health and blessing of his life. And by offering Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) Aqiqa, Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) informed many of Shias about his birth, meanwhile, performing this religious tradition.

When “Imam Mahdi (PBUH)” was born, Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) told to Uthman ibn Saeed (the first Deputy): “Buy 10,000 rotl of bread (a unit of weight of the order of the pound) and 10,000 rotl of meat and distribute them (probably to Bani Hashim) and offer his Aqiqa of many sheeps.”

He had at least two important purposes: 1- The baby’s health. 2- Introducing the successor and “announcing the news of the Savior’s birth” to public specially oppressed people.

Mahdism examples - The third series

The branch of astragalus gummifer and birds in love

“There will be an occultation for Sahib al-Amr (Imam Mahdi) in which holding one’s religion likens removing the thorns of the tree of astragalus gummifer with one’s hands. People should seek refuge to God and hold on to their religions.” (Imam Sadiq [PBUH])

Yes, and also in such a situation:

“The hearts of the pure and pious people, like the birds which are fond of the tree, are eagerly waiting to meet you (Imam Mahdi).” Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH).

The tree of Astragalus gummifer is a big tree with thorns which look like sharp pins. In Arab literature, doing difficult and arduous tasks is likened to touching the thorns of this tree. For instance, tolerating a special condition by someone is like removing the thorns of this tree by moving one’s hand from top to bottom. It is obvious that doing such an action lacerates one’s hand.

(Bihar al-Anwar, vol.52, p.1 and 101)

 

Be like the bee!

Amir Al-Mu'minin said to his followers: “Be among the people like the “bee” among the birds. All the birds deem it weak and unworthy! But if they knew what there is in its interiors, they would not treat it so!”

Socialize with people on the surface and stay away from their viewpoints and doings, indeed every one will be rewarded according to his doings and will be gathered with the ones, whom he loves on the day of Resurrection.

You will not achive what you love and what you hope until … No one of you will keep on this matter except like the“kohl in an eye” or like the“salt in food”! {To be Imam Mahdi’s devotee, we have to fulfill Ahla Al-Bayt’s recommendations precisely till we are one of his devotees}

(Al-Ghayba al-Nu'mani, P. 210)
