Once, I went to the area “Askar” in Samarra to visit Imām Aşr (mGehr). I didn’t introduce myself to anyone and didn’t speak with my intention with anyone. But all of a sudden, an individual came to me and ordered, “Stand up!” I wondered, “Where are we going?!” He replied, “To our house!” I expressed, “I suppose, you have mistaken me for someone else. [Tell me,] what is my name?!
Regarding the issue, Ahl al Bayt1 (pbu th) presented some reasons for The Occultation:
1- Protecting the Imām (mGehr)’s life from the enemies’ dangers/ detriments.
[In this relation,] Zurārah2 narrated from Imām Ṣādiq (pbuh):
إِنً لِلْقَائِمَ غَیْبَۀِ قَبْلُ ظُهُورِهَ قُلْتَ وَ لِمُ قَالَ یَخَافوِ أَوْمَىبِیَدِهِ إِلَىَ بَطْنِهُ قَالزُرَارَۀَ یَعْنِیاَلْقَتْل
Indeed, the Qā’im will be absent before his appearance.
a- Hypocrites
The first group who line up against His Excellency Mahdī (mGehr), are polytheists and disbelievers. Well, they claim that they are the head of people of the world. So, they see liberating movement of Imām Mahdī (mGehr) as a ban for their improper benefits.
Anyhow, the way of His Excellency Mahdī (mGehr)’s deals with them, is as same as the Prophet (pbuh&h)’s.
One day Baḥr al Ulum accompanied the people who were beating their chests, along with some of his [religious] students. All of a sudden, the scholar Baḥr al Ulum was a great source of imitation in religious matters. left his turban and Arabian cloak on the ground and went into the mourning crowd, with the bare head and feet. He started beating on his head and chest, like other people who were beating on their chests. His students tried a lot to prevent him from that great suffering, but he didn’t let them!
When you say “Labbayk Yā Ḥusayn (pbuh)”; That means, ‘I am ready to help you’. Just as the martyrs of Karbalā, who helped Abū ʿAbd Allāh Ḥusayn (pbuh).
But, the helpers whom His Majesty Imām Zamān (mGehr) wants, are different from the helpers of Abū ʿAbd Allāh Ḥusayn (pbuh); not in terms of rank and status, but in terms of function.
Ali, the Arab’s king, Lion of God[1]
Had an affinity with midnight
Of his bosom, night was quite aware
God’s mystery had midnight as intimate
In the name of God, the most compassionate, the merciful Oh God! I seek your refuge indeed, the day when neither wealth nor children will […]
[Once] Amīr al Mu’menīn ʿAlī (pbuh) took my hand and we went out of Kūfah.When we reached to the field and plain nature, he sighed a deep and cold one. Then, he stated,‘O, God! There is never a land left empty from the one who “holds the religion of God through reasons and proofs.
For example, there are a few amount of Gold and Oil reserves. So, they usually fight over them.But nobody fights over air, because there is plenty of air.Apart from air, they fight over water, oil and gold due to the few reserves.
The sword is the sign and symbol of a just and fair war. Fighting with anything except swords, is not fair! [in the past it was like this.]
