We do a little!
قَعَدَت بÙÛŒ اَغلاَلی
The chains of sin have stuck me to the ground2
Other times, we haven’t [even] set off, or we have set off but it wasn’t the true way; we have been paving a [wrong] way.
Imam Mahdi
Lost intention
While you are to say “Amen†when the people pray!â€
It is important; your idea is essential to God! Your intention is important to God. The thing you wish is essential to God. God has created the world for you!
The condition for looking forward to the Emergence
If someone attempts to reach the ImÄm (mgehr) and stays with him, nothing will harm him. However, this is very difficult, because this is the essence of the test that the Almighty God takes from us.
The best deeds of my Ummah is looking forward to the emergence of ImÄm al-ZamÄn (mGehr).
being faithful to the religion [God], is more difficult than holding a fire in the palm of your hand, unless you leave the religion and get rid of the fire! Just this! But if you keep on holding it, you will have to get fired.
The other technique of the enemies against The Emergence, is destruction.
Destruction is done in two ways:
a ) Inducing doubt: They [the enemies] destroy the addresses’ minds and distort the belief, by coining some questions and doubts, in a cunning way!
b) Humiliation and ridiculing: As in the early Islamic Era, the enemies usually ridicule the believers.
Paying Attention to ImÄm ZamÄn (mgehr)
KhwÄja Aba á¹¢alt al-HirawÄ« was the only one who was aware of the martyrdom of ImÄm RÄ«á¸a (pbuh). MaʾmÅ«n ordered not to let him go free; as he knew about the martyrdom story and would inform the others. ‘Arrest him and send him to jail’ ordered MaʾmÅ«n.
KhwÄja Aba á¹¢alt was in the prison for a year and a half. Finally, his heart broke For a moment and he invoked to ImÄm al-JawÄd (pbuh) in his heart and beseeched,…
Allegiance is not an easy matter
When you say “Labbayk YÄ á¸¤usayn (pbuh)â€; That means, ‘I am ready to help you’. Just as the martyrs of KarbalÄ, who helped AbÅ« Ê¿Abd AllÄh Ḥusayn (pbuh).
But, the helpers whom His Majesty ImÄm ZamÄn (mGehr) wants, are different from the helpers of AbÅ« Ê¿Abd AllÄh Ḥusayn (pbuh); not in terms of rank and status, but in terms of function.
God’s mystery poem
Ali, the Arab’s king, Lion of God[1]
Had an affinity with midnight
Of his bosom, night was quite aware
God’s mystery had midnight as intimate
some responsibilities of the people who look forward to the Emergence
1-   Trying to know the Excellency [ImÄm MahdÄ« (mgehr)]’s characteristics, mentality and personality.
2-Â Â Â Observing politeness towards him.
3-Â Â Â Expressing the affection to him, in an especial way.
4-Â Â Â Letting the people know he is precious.
“KarbalÄâ€Â The bridge of Emergence
The rise of Imam Huṣayn (pbuh) wasn’t not limited in time and space.
As supporting ImÄm Huá¹£ayn (pbuh) meant fighting in the “battlefront of Karbala”, supporting Ḥojjat ibn al- Haá¹£an1 [ImÄm ZamÄn (mgehr)] is through taking part in the “soft war of knowledge and culture.”
Ä€shÅ«rÄii companions not only weren’t afraid of being wounded by swords and spears, but also they welcomed the martyrdom with smiles.
