There are two ways to reduce suffering: To choose some appropriate [meaningful] suffering, and to welcome the suffering which God considered for us  

July 10, 2024 0

One of the ways to reduce suffering is to choose some of the suffering ourselves! After accepting the philosophy of suffering, a wise individual will mention, “As I cannot get rid of suffering, I will choose some of them myself [and embrace it].†If we choose a positive and meaningful suffering, God will reduce our suffering two or more times; such as by giving alms/donations or so on. Although giving alms is a little suffering, poverty is making you suffer more!

This verse tells us that love (not other attributes that we may think are love, but actual love), will come only after belief.  Interestingly this verse comes at the end of Surah Maryam and lady Maryam was the mother whose practices created for her a prophet son who brought love to the world and through this heart ability of his (Allah’s gift), was able to bring the dead to life with the permission of Allah. 

Convenience shouldn’t be destroyed; It should be controlled and managed

July 10, 2024 0

Seeking comfort [convenience] is of the nature of humans. But, it can be in an extreme state, transforming, and leads humans to fall. We are not supposed to destroy seeking comfort in ourselves; instead, we should control and manage it. This doesn’t mean to remove all the comforts! On the contrary, we are supposed to provide ourselves with comforts and convenience.

While ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)’s Hujjah [Mahdaviiat] was clear, why did some Shiites consider “Nafs al- Zakiyyah1†or “Muḥammad ibn Hanafiyyah†as ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)?!

July 10, 2024 0

Although in some AḥÄdÄ«th which are about ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)’s rise, by the Messenger of God (pbuh&h) and his Ahl al Bayt (pbu th), it has been clarified that he is definitely the son of 11th ImÄm “AskarÄ« (pbuh)â€, because the people knew all Ahl al Bayt (pbu th) as “The best guide for people†and “Guided By Godâ€; therefore, facing cruelty and violation, they took refuge to one of them as “ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)†[It was a sort of psychological need to a divine ImÄm]. They would also take some other people with themselves.

And the philosophy behind it is, there must happen some disagreements among the wives and husbands, so that they can progress. Otherwise, why should these two opposite sexes (men and women who cannot easily understand each other), live together?

When the fates and destinies of humans are determined by God, He orders the angels in order to carry out them [the fates and destinies]. For example, God orders His Excellency Azrael, “Take the soul of such person at such time!â€

[In this regard,] ImÄm á¹¢Ädiq (pbuh) states, “Even if people’s faiths are ordered from the heavens to the angels, praying can stop its being carried out!

Some KirÄmahs by ImÄm ZamÄn (mGehr)

Once, I went to the area “Askar†in Samarra to visit ImÄm AÅŸr (mGehr). I didn’t introduce myself to anyone and didn’t speak with my intention with anyone. But all of a sudden, an individual came to me and ordered, “Stand up!†I wondered, “Where are we going?!†He replied, “To our house!†I expressed, “I suppose, you have mistaken me for someone else. [Tell me,] what is my name?!

How does His Excellency [Mahdī (mGehr)] get food, clothes and inhabitance and what are them?

July 10, 2024 0

Since we don’t have any narration related to this point, we suppose the Excellency’s food, clothes and inhabitance are natural and usual. It’s because, based on divine tradition, the world of creation has fixed usual laws, except some occasions.

Therefore, the ImÄm (mGehr) has a normal body and uses ordinary food, too. Although, God sometimes sends a heavenly gift to the Excellency, as it was granted to Her Excellency Mary (pbuh) and others.
