Looking forward to the Emergence, does not mean for people to sit and do not do anything!
Nor does it mean to leave any effort to reform, or just take it easy and say “We are looking forward Imam Mahdī (mgehr)!”
It is not the [true] looking forward! What is [the true] looking forward to?!
Take a look at the world today!
The same thing that is brought up in the narrations about Wali ‘Asr (may our souls be sacrificed for him) is governing the world today!
[That is],
“The world that has been filled with oppression and injustice…”
Human life today, has been defeated and subdued by the cruel and tyrant, all around the world.
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.
In ancient India, the perfect man had been remarked as “Arhat” which means the worthy or perfect man, and as “Freeman”.
[Also] some Chinese schools such as Taoism and Confucius, mentioned about “Tao” and “The free man”.
He is [considered] as a holy pure man who has the highest human status.
Plato believed a “philosopher” has characteristics of the perfect man.
[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,
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.
[But] Islam, is the only heavenly doctrine which hasn’t been changed or distorted
Both Shiites and Sunnis call The Promised Savior in Islam “Mahdī (mgehr)”
[In fact], Mahdī (mgehr) is his most well- known title.
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.
