قالُوا رَبَّنَا أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ…[غافر/۱۱]
They will say: “Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life! ….). (Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-GHAFIR, verse 11)
About the interpretation of the above verse, Ali Ibn Ibrāhīm said, “
Imam al-Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated, ‘This verse is about Raj`a.’
When two things are extremely far and different on the rank point of view (such as God who is in the highest position vs. the world which is in a very low rank),
There needs for intermediates, in order for the low rank to contact the high.
Like “sunlight”, which is an intermediary between the fireball of the sun and the cold globe of the earth.
In other words, there should be affinity and relation between the power and the worthy.
[Once] a group of our friends (Shiites), Harith and I were sitting in presence of Imam Ṣādiq (pbuh);
talking [quietly] about the advent of the Truth Government[Imam Mahdī (mgehr)’s]
The Imam (pbuh) heard us and stated,
‘What are you talking about?’
There will be the possibility of interpreting or incorrect paraphrasing of the Emergence signs.
For instant, it had been narrated that:
After Celestial voice_ which is a miraculous and very marvelous incident _
To copy the voice, Satan will blot out and make people suspicious
Interestingly, in narratives it is stated,
‘From Satan’s sedition, just the ones will be saved,
[Knowing about] the proofs and signs of The Emergence, can be effective at least in these two circumstances:
[First] when people are unaware of these issues; whether because of slacking off or neglect of the advertising agents.
[Second] when people haven’t been directed to the right way based on the correct criteria, due to being captured in doubts’ trap, and providing atmosphere of intrigue by the false frontier and complexity of circumstances
According to some narrations “Imam Zaman (mgehr)’s emergence will occur at once; when it is not expected”.
And [to others] “his emergence will occur overnight”.
Criticism & consideration
Such narrations are [as] allusions to hastening the Emergence
So, This “Imam Zaman (mgehr)’s emergence will occur when it is not expected”, doesn’t contradict [the Emergence] signs.
Have you known, Mahdī (mgehr)is the most famous title for Imam Zaman (mgehr)?
[And], have you known the word Mahdavīat is more famous amongst the Sunnis?
In narrations the title Mahdī (mgehr) has mostly referred after his emergence, and the title Qā’im (mgehr) before his emergence.
Imam Bāqir (pbuh) stated, ‘Indeed he was called Mahdī, because he is going to be guided via the secret [Divine] path.
اصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ [ص/۱۷] Have patience at what they say, and remember our servant David, the […]
‘It’s a chapter, in which I collected the hadiths and traditions about Mahdī (mgehr)
I briefly mentioned, the forty hadiths that “Hāfiz Abu Na’īm” had presented.
In addition, I added and encoded in “K” whatever he hadn’t mentioned.
[Well], the whole hadiths that were collected in this book_ both narrated and added by Abu Na’īm_ are more than two hundred hadiths…
The looking forward mentioned in narrations, is not just sitting and crying!
[But], we should prepare ourselves for serving Imam Mahdi (mgehr).
Looking forward for The Emergence means being on the alert for it, prepared,
