In the Presence of Bahjat
We are about to be drawn into the sea of life! We need Walī of God [mGehr] to hold our hand, to reach the goal. We are expected to supplicate to Walī Asr (mGehr), to enlighten the path and take us along his goal.
Imam Mahdi
Are humans supposed to look for comfort or not?
Mothers are expected to know, their first duty is controlling children’s comfort seeking. Sometimes, dear mothers treat their children as comfort seekers, in indulgent and casual ways! Hence, they will not be able to manage these comfort-seeking children in the future!
Difference in looking forward to the Emergence
Even most of the Sunnis actually have theoretical opinions about the holy presence of WalÄ« Asr (mGehr)! It means, they mostly have the firm belief that, the Excellency was born in 255 AH, he has the same name as the Prophet (pbuh&h), He is the continuation of the Messenger of God (pbuh&h)’s light of loving and kindness, he is Her pure Excellency Majesty FÄtimÄ (pbuh)’s offspring. Also, they mostly believe in this main belief:
“…وَ هوَ Øَیٌ”
The necessary preparation for the Emergence
1- Mental, spiritual, and moral preparations to win in Jihad Akbar [fight with the immoral orders of Ego].
2- Scientific and knowledge preparations to win in the field of Cultural Jihad.
3- Physical and martial preparations to win in the field of Military Jihad.
Mind that, it’s necessary to consider these preparations in both personal and social fields.
The effect of financial improvement on the spiritual affairs
1- piety:
The Messenger of God (pbuh&h) introduced the growth of the wealth as the factors for improving religiosity and piety.
How to have the life style of the people who look forward to The Savior [Imam Mahdi (mgehr)]’s emergence
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 QurʾÄn and also AḥÄdÄ«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.
Let us better understand Imam Mahdi
The Imam is like the Kaaba: The Imam does not need our obedience; instead, we must move toward the Imam and draw closer to them. Lady Fatimah Zahra said: “The Prophet of God said: The example of the Imam is like the Kaaba, around which people circulate, but it does not circulate around anything.” (Bihar al-Anwar, Volume 36, p. 353)
Tribulation and calamity
Prophet Jacob (Pbuh) suffered from the absence of Joseph (Pbuh) for 20, or according to a narration, 40 years! Undoubtedly, God does not want to bother a believer, but rather intends to make him sincere through the affliction, so that his heart is focused only on God; affliction is the best ladder of Solūk (spiritual growth and self-purification).
Remember
Never before in history have all moral virtues been stood in front of all moral vices, as they were on Ashura 61 Ah! The confrontation of Ḥusayn b. Alī (pbuh) against the army of Yazīd, the struggle of the ‘Ultimate Truth’ against the ‘Ultimate Falsehood’. In one side, the ‘Highest Human Virtues’ and on the other, the ‘Lowest and most despicable qualities’.
What prophets (Pbu th) did not complete!
God has reserved him [ImÄm ZamÄn]. It’s because, no one [from the first to the last] have had this power to spread justice throughout the world, and it was for him alone. This it what the prophets (pbu th) failed to achieve, even though they came to serve it.
