Blameful adversaries
The first person who due to ignorance of Imam Mahdi (hgr)’s birth, denied the birth of Imam Mahdi (hgr), was Ja’afar (the Imam’s uncle)!
Ja’afar used to strongly inhibit the news of the Imam’s birth!!
Ibn-e-Hazm in the book “Al-Fasl fil-Milal…” impeached [Imam Mahdi’s (hgr)]’s birth. He wrote that Imam Mahdi’s (hgr)’s birth didn’t occur till Imam Askari (pbuh)’s martyrdom!
Worth of knowing Imam (hgr)[ Imam Zaman] in Holy Quran
يؤْتىِ الْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَاءُ وَ مَن يُؤْتَ الحکمة فَقَدْ أُوتىِ َ خَيرًْا كَثِيرًا وَ مَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُوْلُواْ الْأَلْبَاب [بقره/۲۶۹]
Translation:
He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding. [The holy Quran, Sure Al-Baqarah, Verse269]
