Deviations in Mahdavīat [Islamic Messianic]

Introduction:

Whoever deeply realizes theological topics, ponders upon the religion, also figures out reasoning and basics of it, they will never become unstable and deviated from the religion.

Imām Sajjād (pbuh) in a ḥadīth described the features of men with insight (true Shiites) as, “A true Shite has three characteristics: Having [a deep] realization of the religion, a wise look at it, and a high knowledge about the Imams (pbu th).”

 

The people who know the Imām [Imām Mahdī (mgehr)], are divided into three types:

First: The group who know the Imām (mgehr), but they oppose him.

Second: The group who know the Imām (mgehr), yet they like to bargain with him!

Third: The group who know the Imām (mgehr), and they love him.

The third know their Imām (mgehr) the best. However, they must add care to the knowledge.

Deviated movements

Most of the deviated movements in the world, scape from and fight with reasoning. Hence, wisdom can keep the path of knowledge safe.

The Imām (mgehr)’s nature: The Occultation of Imām Mahdī (mgehr), doesn’t mean he is absent!

The way to solve the problem: Seeing the “Invitation1” as a serious issue.

Bewilderment: All of the world are in a chaos and perplexity.

The way to solve the problem: Applying logic and reasoning.

Intrigue: This is as a challenge of those preceding ones.

The way to solve the problem: Finding true answers for religious doubts.

Despair= Being disappointed at the event of The Emergence.

The way to solve the problem:  Keeping it in mind that, The Emergence saves us from the whole destruction.

Sects vs. Deviated movements

Sect, is a Secessionist group of the standards in the society. They have different thoughts, special book and leader.

But a deviated movement   happens, because of Misinterpretation of beliefs.

****The common point among all devious currents is that they consider the scholars as bans for The Emergence! ****

The activities of the colonialists take place in four axes in Islamic countries

• Providing [considered] governments
• Providing [considered] people
• Providing[considered] elites
• Providing [considered] culture
• Providing [considered] sects

The Solutions to oppose deviated movements:

1)    Scientific activities: Deviation will be prevented, if science is pervasive in society.

2)    Practical activities:

a)    We ought not to be indifferent: We ought to obey the Imām (mgehr) and love him.

b)    We ought to disclose the deviating/ deviated movements and eliminate ignorance.

c)    We ought to lead the people of the society to be more zealous for and careful about our beliefs: The people ought not to learn religious points from whoever or whatever source.  They must learn it just from the trustable people.

The best patterns are, [the infallible Shiite] Imāms (pbu th) and the ones whom were referred to by the Imāms (pbu th) as the trustable~*.
