Calmness and convenience have both spiritual or mental, and physical or environmental aspects. Islam has also a lot of advice for physical calmness (such as hygiene and nutrition, the way of eating foods, and so on). But unfortunately, most of us do not observe them, and our bodies will be consequently hurt.
We can be a role model for people of the world, by paving the path of Imām Huṣayn (pbuh); that is, we can live in such a way that people express, “The followers of Imām Huṣayn (pbuh) are so chivalrous, calm, purely and delighted!” Tranquility and comfort are of the characteristics that belong to the true life. Having a more comfortable life is not only a personal benefit, but also it is a social, historical, and Mahdavī [related to Imām Zamān (mGehr)] responsibility.
Imām Alī (pbuh): Whoever sees small sufferings as big, will be affected by big sufferings
Amīr al Mu’menin (pbuh) stated,
مَن عظَّم صغارَ المصائبِ ابتلاهُ اللهُ بِکِبارِها
(Nahj al Balāghah, Sermon 448)
“Whoever sees small sufferings as big, big sufferings will affect them.”
On the eve of Ramadan 17th, Prophet [Muḥammad] (pbuh&h) went to the Miʿrāj. The next morning, Satan came to his present and said:
O, the Messenger of God (pbuh&h)! The last night when you went to the Miʿrāj, in the fourth heaven, there was a broken and burnt pulpit on the left side (Baitul Ma’mur) that fell inverted. Did you know that pulpit, and did you find out whose it was?
Facing the twelfth Imām (mGehr), Sayyid Ḥasanī, will ask, “Do you have a reason, a miracle [it refers to Kirāmahs] or a sign? There, the Imām (mGehr) looks at the sky, points to a bird which sits on his hand, speaks with the power of God and testifies to the Imamate of the Imām!
Sayyid Abd al- Karīm Kaffāsh who sometimes visited the Excellency [Imām Zamān (mGehr)]. [Later,] my father asked him, ‘O, sir! Why do Imām Zamān (mGehr) usually comes to see you?!’ There, the very Sayyid Abd al Karīm replied, ‘The sir [the Imām] stated, ‘I am coming to you, because you have left your self [ego]!
Supply is dependent on demand. All the religions around the world believe that a world peacemaker or a divine individual will come in the last era. However, this event depends on your demand.
I just recite “O’ ibn al- Haṣan (mgehr)!”. We get together in religious gatherings, and we even express our grief by beating our breasts, but this type of reciting “O’ ibn al- Haṣan (mgehr)” is superficial! I just repeat it over and over; it hasn’t been engraved on our hearts. If it had, we would have been obedient and submissive.
“I want to help the Emergence, I want to do something for the Emergence, I want to be present at that time and live then”. So, what is the first thing to do for me, who wants to do something for Mahdism?
I should hold my faith firmly. Firstly, let’s see when would be the Last Era. Is it right now? Anyway, let’s first describe the characteristics of the Last Era, then we will continue the discussion.
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.
وَ لَئِنْ أَخَّرْنا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذابَ إِلى أُمَّةٍ مَعْدُودَةٍ لَیَقُولُنَّ ما یَحْبِسُهُ أَلا یَوْمَ یَأْتِیهِمْ لَیْسَ مَصْرُوفاً عَنْهُمْ وَ حاقَ بِهِمْ ما كانُوا بِهِ یَسْتَهْزِؤُنَ
And if We defer their punishment until a certain time, they will surely say, ‘What holds it back?’ Look! On the day it overtakes them it shall not be turned away from them, and they will be besieged by what they used to deride.
