Observing the devil !!
Iblis really observes the movements in this world. He observes the steps that believers go through to attend in the Emergence Era; It’s not like he is not aware of what’s happening in this world.
the promised savior
O, God! We don’t like this life!
It connotes that, repent, go and repent! Ask God for forgiveness! O, God, we don’t like this life [the life which is passed, doing sins]! O, God, we don’t like this style of life! O, God, we don’t like these views, audible things, edible things, these jobs. [O, God, we don’t like] being so much idle and weak!
The author; the Faqīh Shaykh, Abu Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn Alī ibn Huṣayn ibn Mūsā ibn Bābawayh Qummī (mGbhs) said:
Ṣafwān b. Mihrān narrated from Imām Ṣādiq (pbuh), that he stated, ‘The individual who acknowledges all [12 infallible] Imāms [pbuh] but denies Mahdī [mGehr], is like the one who acknowledges all prophets (pbu th) but denies Muḥammad (pbuh&h)’s prophet hood!
The ways to have relation and spiritual connection with Walī Asr (mGehr) in the Occultation Era
1- To attempt, in order to get to know Walī Asr (mGehr).
To have relation with the Imām, one needs to have true knowledge about him.
2- To express the heartfelt affection to Walī Asr (mGehr).
Imām Sādiq (pbuh) stated, “Whoever composes a poem about us [Ahl al Bayt], God provides a house for them in the heaven.
The words of the [infallible Shia] Imams and the scholars about Imām Mahdī
I asked ‘Allāmah Tabataba’i if it is possible to visit His Excellency [Sāhib al- Zamān (mgehr)] or no?! He returned, ‘Yes, but on three conditions: Being completely pious, feeling a great love [to the Imām (mGehr)], and being persistent in reciting Zīyāra Āl Yāsīn (the long version).’ (Gham-e Eshgh, P. 90)
The blessing: To be with Imām Zamān (mgehr)
O, fellows! I swear to God; we don’t know value the blessing of being with the Imām, because we haven’t experienced it! We haven’t experienced the sweetness of a look by Imām Zamān (mgehr). So, we usually don’t die for him!!
The Spirit Of Looking Forward To The Emergence
When you woke up this morning and said the dawn prayer, were you looking forward to hearing the charming call of “Oh, people of the world!”. What does the spirit of looking forward to the Emergence mean?; It means, you look forward to hearing the call of “Oh, people of the world!”.
The Unseen Army of Imām Zamān (mGehr)
You have experienced protests, haven’t you? There, the faithful people come to the street, see each other and wonder, ‘O, friend! What a big crowd! Where have they been?! So many covered women! So many revolutionary people!
It’s like the event of December 30th [2010]. There are forty years, that this event is repeated! Well, apart from these years of corona which banned the protests in some ways, each time the people see each other they wonder, ‘Really!’
The very Soft war
[We need] an army of twenty million men!
One day, I started talking to my friends about Arbaʽeen and I kept on, “How similar this point is to the Imam’s statement! In fact, not only it [Arbaʽeen] is an army of twenty million men, but also it formed an army of thirty million men. Keep it serious.
Allegiance is not an easy matter
Behaving according to the phrase “Labbayk Yā Mahdī (mgehr)”1 is much harder than the phrase “Labbayk Yā Ḥusayn (pbuh)”
When you say “Labbayk Yā Ḥusayn (pbuh)”; That means, ‘I am ready to help you’. Just as the martyrs of Karbalā, who helped Abū ʿAbd Allāh Ḥusayn (pbuh).
