Mahdism Dictionary - The second series

M- The moving creature of the Earth

It refers to the emergence of the moving creature of the Earth. This event has been mentioned both in the Shia and Sunni narrations and it’s referred to as one of the signs of the Day of Judgment. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: “Inevitably, ten things will occur before the Day of Judgment: Sufyani, Antichrist, the moving creature and …” *1

What makes this event important to the Shia, are the narrations which refer to “the emergence of the moving creature of the Earth” as the return (Raja’at) of Imam Ali (PBUH). Imam Baqir (PBUH) said: “After describing himself, Imam Ali (PUBH) said: “... I am the moving creature who speaks to people...” ” *2 Among the Sunni Muslims, it has been extensively discussed what the essence of “the moving creature” is and how it emerges.

In conclusion, there are two different interpretations concerning this matter: 1- Some have considered it as an unusual inhuman living thing which looks strange. 2- Referring to numerous narrations, others consider it an extraordinary, moving, agile, active and powerful human.

(1- Al-Ghayba al-Tusi, p. 436; 2- Usul al-Kafi, v. 1, p. 198)

 

D- The Dajjal (antichrist)

It is of the signs of nearing the great doomsday at the Reappearance era. Dajjal means “gilt” in Arabic and for this reason, liar people who misrepresent the false as truth are called Dajjal. According to the narrations, he is a tyrant that will deviate people from the truth at the Apocalypse. There are mentions about him in the teachings of Christianity, Islam and Jewism. In the Shia narrations, this is known to be coincident with Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) Reappearance.

There are some possibilities regarding Dajjal:

1- It is not the name of a specific person and every person who plans to mislead people by deception and trick is Dajjal and in fact, it is a group of tricksters. Many of these Dajjals are mentioned in the narrations-about 12 to 70. *1 Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “70 Dajjals would appear before the main Dajjal appears.” *2

2- Among these Dajjals, the one who is superior to the others in lying and deception and his devilry is the greatest, is the sign of Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) Reappearance. Or in other words, he is the main Dajjal.

One of the impressive and considerable points is that in the numerous Shia and Sunni narrations, most of the followers of Dajjal are Jews. And it is mentioned in the Sunni references that Dajjal will be killed by Prophet Jesus (PBUH).

(1- Bihar al-Anwar, v. 52; 2- Kanz al-Ummal, v. 14 )

ٱللَّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّل فَرَجَهُم

 

**اَللّهُمَّ عَجِّل لِوَلیِّکَ الفَرَج**

یکی بود یکی نبود

این داستان زندگی ماست

همیشه همین بوده

یکی بود یکی نبود

در اذهان مان انگار نمی گنجد با هم بودن، با هم ساختن.

برای بودنِ یکی ، باید دیگری نباشد.

 

هیچ قصه گویی نیست که داستانش این گونه آغاز شود ،

که یکی بود ، دیگری هم بود .

همه با هم بودند .

 

و ما اسیر این قصه کهن ، برای بودنِ یکی ، یکی را نیست می کنیم .

از دارایی ، از آبرو ، از هستی .

 

انگار که بودنمان وابسته به نبودن دیگریست .

هیچ کس نمیداند ، جز ما . هیچ کس نمی فهمد جز ما .

و آن کس که نمی داند و نمی فهمد ، ارزشی ندارد ، حتی برای زیستن .

و این هنری است که آن را خوب آموخته ایم .

"هنر نبودن دیگری" .....

ایثار کردن ، یک فضیلت است و انحصار طلبى ، یک رذیلت.

زنان در حکومت امام زمان

{دولت کریمه امام عصر - شماره 28}

 

الف) حضور پنجاه زن در بین یاران حضرت مهدی: اولین گروه از زنانی که به محضر امام زمان می شتابند، آنهایند که در آن زمان می زیستند و همانند دیگر یاران امام، به هنگام ظهور در مکه به خدمت امام میرسند. امام باقر فرموده اند: به خدا سوگند، سیصد و سیزده نفر می آیند که پنجاه نفر از این عده زن هستند...

[بحارالانوار ج۵۲ ص۲۲۳]

 

ب) زنان آسمانی: گروه دوم چهارصد بانوی برگزیده هستند که خداوند برای حکومت امام عصر در آسمان ذخیره کرده است. پیامبر اکرم فرموده اند: عیسی بن مریم به همراه هشتصد مرد و چهارصد زن از بهترین و شایسته ترین افراد روی زمین فرود خواهد آمد.

[معجم الامام المهدی ج۱ ص۵۳۴]

 

ج) رجعت زنان: گروه سوم زنانی هستند که خداوند به برکت ظهور، آن ها را زنده میکند که دو دسته اند: ۱-برخی با نام و نشان از زنده شدنشان خبر داده شده. ۲-برخی فقط از آمدنشان سخن به میان آمده. امام صادق فرمودند: همراه قائم سیزده زن خواهند بود. (آنان) به مداوای مجروحان پرداخته سرپرستی بیماران را بر عهده می گیرند.

 

بانوان گرامی، خواهران گرامی

اگر می خواهید در زمره یاران حضرت باشید و فرد مفیدی در حکومتش باشید، بیایید از هم اکنون با ایشان پیمان ببندید. رابطه خود را با او محکم کنید و خود را با برنامه ها و خواسته های ایشان تطبیق دهید.

Mahdavi Questions and Answers - The second series

Does Imam Mahdi (PBUH) distribute the properties of the rich, despite their inner will, among the poor at the time of his Reappearance?

Answer: Imam Mahdi’s (God accelerate (the time of) his Reappearance) main goal is to administer justice and to eradicate oppression. Consequently, such a thing is an attribution of injustice to him and definitely, this is not true. Rather, he will return Haram (illegal) properties and things which have been taken unjustly from their owners to them.

Another point to make is that because of the intellectual and spiritual development, people will hasten to help the poor and needy ones. And even perhaps, one who owns several houses will willingly accommodate others in them, just like what happened when Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) arrived [in Medina] and Ansar (The Helpers) accommodated Muhajirin (The Emigrants) in their homes.

 

What does Imam Mahdi (PBUH) do during the Occultation?

Answer: During the Major Occultation, duties and responsibilities of Imam Mahdi (PBUH) are very critical and important. Although, he does not run a government, but he observes all incidents and acts upon them. His long life is being spent in the obedience to Allah.

In addition to his individual tasks and duties, based on many narrations he does whatever is best to do such as guiding people, helping believers to overcome the enemies, solving the problems and difficulties, healing the illnesses, guiding misled people, instructing prayers, providing pecuniary aid for the poors, helping people in problems and ... .

For example we can point the survival of Shia and its leadership organization and scientific and missionary institutions and activities of the religious seminaries and also the survival of the Islamic revolution in the today’s world when all the world has united against Shia, which were not succeeded and achieved but with the help of Imam Mahdi (PBUH). Just exactly the way Imam told Shaykh Mufid: “We always have you in mind.” (Kamal al-Din, v. 1)

Rational reasons for Imamate and Mahdism - The second series

The principle of purposefulness for proving the existence of the Imam

Another logical reason to prove the existence of the Imam is the principle of purposefulness.

Human being is made up of body and spirit and just like his body, his spirit is developing. The requisite of development is the existence of a guide who can help him. Although wisdom is responsible for guiding the human, because of being bounded to the physical world and the existence of enemies like vain desires and animal tendencies, there should be another guide which assists it as well.

This guide is Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) during the era of prophecy. Certainly, there should be other guides after him as well, because the human race continues to live. If the divine path, plan and guide don’t exist, the creation of humans would be in vain. And the risk of distortion of the religion and the existence of hostile groups also emphasize this necessity.

(Kashf al-Murad by ‘Allama al-Hilli, p. 324; Masael-e Kolli-e Emamat (The General Issues of the Imamate), p. 111-136)

 

Inductive reasoning

The inductive method states that one can achieve general facts from individual and partial facts. In inductive reasoning, the pattern of thinking is from part to whole. In other words, by observing what is true for fixed part, we can deduce that it holds for the whole (that includes the part).

One of the reasons to prove the necessity and continuation of the existence of Imam, is inductive reasoning:

All prophets from Adam (PBUH) to Muhammad (PBUH), had special and appointed successors after themselves; so why should not the custom of the existence of a leader and a guide hold in the case of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who there is no prophet after him?!

(Ali bin Babawayh, Al-Imama wa al-Tabsera, ch. Al-Wasiyya min ladon Adam (PBUH), p. 21 and 23)

ضرورت وجود امام

{دلایل عقلی امامت و مهدویت - شماره 23}

 

(ادامه از شماره قبل) ...

همان‌طور که خداوند برای اتمام حجت بر خلایق، پیامبران را فرستاد و بشر را از وجود حجت الهی، بی‌ بهره نفرمود، اقتضای حکمت و مشیّت الهی اینست که پس از پیامبران نیز، هادیانی که همچون پیامبر حافظ دین و رهبر حقیقی مردم باشند، بفرستد؛ کسانی که همانند انبیاء‌، عالم و داناترین خلق در عصر خویش باشند؛

کسانی که در تمام عمر، هیچ گونه لغزش و گناهی نداشته، تا بتوانند الگو و حجت باشند، کسانی که دارای فضائل اخلاقی و صفات عالیه انسانی باشند، از قدرت، شجاعت، زهد و تقوای برخوردار بوده و از اوصاف و اخلاق ناپسند و زشت به دور باشند، به گونه‌ای که همچون پیامبر، بتوانند هدایت عمومی را عهده‌دار بوده و در قیامت نیز حجت بر اَعمال بندگان باشند.

چنین کسانی نیست، مگر وجود مقدس امامان معصوم، که میتوانند بشر را از حیرت و ضلالت و گمراهی نجات بخشند، هدایتگر به سعادت دنیا و آخرت و حجت الاهی بر بندگان باشند… بیان شد که شیعه در اثبات ضرورت وجود امام برای جامعه، از طریق براهین عقلی و هم از طریق دلایل معتبر شرعی قادر به اثبات ضرورت وجود امام است.

1001facts about Imam Mahdi - The second series

The period of disappearance of Imam Mahdi (PBUH)

The life of Imam Mahdi (PBUH) can be divided into four periods: “the disappearance”, “the Minor Occultation”, “the Major Occultation” and “the period after the Reappearance”. The period of his disappearance started from his birth (255 A.H.) and lasted until the martyrdom of Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) (260 A.H.).

Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) was responsible for two important and sensitive duties: One was protecting his child from the harm of Abbasid Caliphs and the other was proving his existence and declaring his Imamate as the twelfth Imam. He fulfilled both of his responsibilities in the best way. However, due to severe security situation held by the Abbasids, only a few of Imam Hassan Askari’s (PBUH) helpers and sincere friends knew about the birth of Imam Mahdi (PBUH).

Mu’awiyah ibn Hakim, Mohammad ibn Uthman ‘Amari and Mohammad ibn Ayyub said: “We, forty of Shias, came to Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH). He showed us his child and said: “He is your Imam after me and my successor, obey him and do not go away from him that you be perished and your religion be ruined. Also, you should know that you won’t see him after this day.” ” (Kamal al-Din and Tamam al-Nimeh, p. 435)

 

The remarkable answer of the important center of Wahhabism

When a Sunni Muslim (from Kenya) asked about Imam Mahdi, the time and place of his Reappearance and other Mahdavi questions, “Muslim World League”, the religious center of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia answered as follow:

« “Mahdi, Muhamamd ibn Abdullah Hassani, is Alavi and Fatemi (from the descendants of Imam Ali (PBUH) and Lady Fatima (PBUH)) and he is the awaited promised Mahdi. His Reappearance is concurrent with Apocalypse... He will reappear from the west and people will gather in Holy Mecca, Hijaz, pledges allegiance to him between Rukn and Maqam...

Mahdi, is the last caliphate of 12 caliphates whom prophet has mentioned and this has been brought in Sunni  references. Hadiths concerning Imam Mahdi is narrated by many of companions of prophet; such as: Uthman ibn Affan, Ali ibn Abi-Talib, Talhah ibn Ubaydullah , Abd  ar-Rahman ibn Awf, Abd Allah ibn Abbas, Ammar Yasir, Abd Allah ibn Masoud, Abu Sa’id Khudri, Thawban and …

Some Islamic scholars have written special books about Mahdi, among them: Abu Nu’aym, Ibn Hajar, Shukani, Edris Iraqi... Some of these grand scholars have specified that the hadiths about Imam Mahdi are successive and cannot be denied...

It is only Ibn Khaldun who says Mahdavi hadiths are fabricated and have no basis...

 Therefore, believing in the Reappearance of Mahdi is obligated to all Muslims and the Sunni Sect believe in it, and nobody would deny it but unknowing ignorant people and heretics.”

(The quarterly of “Entezar Moud” (Expecting the Promised), no. 23 p. 142)
