Most people believe in the soul’s effect on the body, but they often neglect the body’s impact on the soul!
According to a basic principle of treatment (which has been confirmed by the verses in QurÊŸÄn and also Aáž„ÄdÄ«th), our appearance and behaviors affect our inside/conscience; our faiths and beliefs. Therefore, their lack of coordination will lead to a gradual weakening of our beliefs.
That is to say: Through behavior purification, the belief will be pure /perfect too.
)Based on the Surah, Rum, the Verse, 10):
In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the End of those who do evil; for that they rejected the Signs of Allah, and held them up to ridicule.
Hence, our destiny depends on our character. Our characters are shaped by our beliefs. And, our behaviors make our beliefs, encourage, or [even] weaken them.
The true concept of âThe Emergenceâ
ImÄm SajjÄd (pbuh) stated, âWhoever believes in the ImÄm [the savior (mgehr)] and looks forward to his emergence in the Minor Occultation Era [now], they are superior to all the humans in history. [If they do truly look forward to].
In another Hadith, His Excellency called a person who looks forward to the emergence âasa thousand martyrsâ.
Also about the concept of âThe Emergenceâ, the holy Prophet (pbuh&h) stated,
1-Â Â Â âThe best deeds are waiting for the expiration. [looking forward to the emergence]â (Ilal alâShara’i, Volume 1, Page 4)
2-Â Â Â The best JihÄd [struggle in the way of Allah] is waiting for relief. [looking forward to the emergence]â (Tuhaf al-‘Uqul, Page 37)
The Prophet (pbuh&h) didnât call every type of behavior âLooking forward to the Emergenceâ! But it must be JihÄdi. [It means through an attempt]
The features of this type of behavior:
Recognizing the enemy is the basis of the lifestyle of the people who look forward to the Savior.
Great JihÄd is what is mostly referred to in QurËan, and what the enemies of  Mahdiism fight with.
Being faithful to the whole JihÄdi behaviors which are originating from the belief in the ImÄm of revelation âHis Excellency កujjat ibn al- HaáčŁan (mgehr)â, and looking forward to his government in the Occultation Era [present time] that aims to pave the ways for ImÄm MahdÄ« (mgehr)âs government, are included in the life style of the people who look forward to The Saviorâs emergence.
The domains of behaviors in the lifestyle of the people who look forward to the Saviorâs emergence:
1-Â Â Â The relation with themselves.
2-Â Â Â The relation with God.
3-Â Â Â The relation with other humans (Godâs friends or enemies).
4-Â Â Â The relation with non-humans (Nature, Jennies, and angels).
Is this lifestyle the same as the IslÄmic one?
Among seventy-three branches of IslÄm, we just agree with those who behave according to Ahl al-Bayt (pbu th)âs Aáž„ÄdÄ«th and interpretations. Also, Ahl al-Bayt (pbu th) are the base of their lives. Yet, this is called âThe believersâ lifestyleâ, but not the lifestyle of the people who look forward to The Saviorâs emergence.
There are two types of believers, mentioned in QurÊŸÄn: Mujahideen [JihÄd fighters] and QÄÊżedeen [the ones who feel weak to fight] (Surah Nissa, Verse 95):
ââŠUnto all [in Faith] Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit [at home] by a special reward.â
The lifestyle of the people who look forward to The Saviorâs emergence is as same as the believersâ, Fighter [for Right, and Muslims who pave the way for ImÄm ZamÄn (mgehr)âs emergence.
The features of the Occultation Era:
·     There is bewilderment and confusion
·     Keeping contact with the ImÄm [MahdÄ«] (mgehr) isnât optional.
·     The Right and the Wrong are intermingled.
·     There are disasters and coercion.
·     The apparent dominance of enemies.
