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 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].
