Epics of the Last Era
Well, you don’t need to sacrifice your life! Come and care your brother’s or friend’s reputation as yours! These are Epics of the Last Era; you will be oppressed. Yes, nearer we get to the emergence, more oppressed we will be!  Keep in mind, it’s the autarchy modern type of being oppressed!
The miracle of Surah YÄsÄ«n and ImÄm ZamÄn (mGehr)
[Once] a servant of God [people] who lived in Yazd, had a hard problem. Meanwhile, he had the honor of visiting His Excellency SÄhib al ZamÄn (mGehr), but he couldn’t recognize the ImÄm!! Anyhow, the Excellency stated:
Recite SÅ«rah YÄsÄ«n. Then, as you see the word “Mubin مبین†which is repeated 6 times in [the Surah], ask God for your needs. Do the same at the end of the Surah. May God answer your prayers [and fulfil them].
Who was Ê¿AlÄ« b. MahziyÄr?
O, Alī! I tested you in following and performing orders, well-wishing, and advising (and you were successful in them.) Thus, if I say that I haven’t seen anyone like you, it is not a lie!

Visiting ImÄm ZamÄn (mGehr) by the scholar Baḥr al Ulum

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!
The very Soft war
[We need] an army of twenty million men!
One day, I started talking to my friends about Arbaʽeen and I kept on, “How similar this point is to the Imam’s statement! In fact, not only it [Arbaʽeen] is an army of twenty million men, but also it formed an army of thirty million men. Keep it serious.
The goodness of the Last Era
When wickedness increases in the Last Era; well, you can say that goodness also increases. It is foolish that an individual just sees one side of a fact, and leaves the other side. Rather, it is wise to see both sides.
 People’s rights upon His Excellency (SÄhib al- ZamÄn (mgehr))
One of the most important features of the universal government of His Excellency Mahdī (mgehr), is to provide the basis for public welfare and comfort for all people. Obviously, it doesn’t refer to the welfare that causes people to turn away from God. Also, it doesn’t include the welfare which comes by itself, rather, it refers to the welfare that will be provided by the wisdom of His Majesty and the great effort of people.
The world after ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)’s martyrdom;
Of the deep beliefs among the Shia, is the belief in the reviving of two groups: True believers and pure disbelievers. As the people who have this view believe that, the world won’t be without any Ḥujjat, they describe the world after ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)’s martyrdom in two ways:
