some essential Hadith from Imam Ali (pbuh)
The joy/savor of faith Imam Ali (pbuh) said: A worshiper won’t experience faith, unless they leave telling lie whether in jokes or serious.  Al- KÄfi, […]
Have we ever had any divine call in the past?
When His Excellency Ê¿AlÄ« (pbuh) showed those brevities and sacrifices in in the Battle of Uhud1, Gabriel called,”الاسی٠الّا دوالÙقار، ولا Ùتی الّا علی”2 And the people who were present, heard it from the sky…
Zayd ibn Wahab3 told Ibn Masūd4, ‘ʿAlī resistance in Uhud was the matter of marvel!’
Ibn Masud reacted, ‘You are not the only one who wonders! Even the other angels were verily marveled! Haven’t you heard that while he was ascending to sky, Gabriel called, “الاسی٠الّا دوالÙقار، ولا Ùتی الّا علی?!
M like Mother!
Although there is not any available, and clearly explicit biography of ImÄm MahdÄ« (mgehr)’s mother, based on the well- known assumption_ from some narrations_ she played the role of a slave who had been captured in the war, in order to join ImÄm AskarÄ« (pbuh)’s respected family at last. [It had been planned before, by ImÄm AskarÄ« (pbuh)’s father; ImÄm HÄdÄ« (pbuh) in order to save her. Then she married ImÄm AskarÄ«, as she had dreamt it in a heavenly dream.]
The signs to recognize and identify ImÄm MahdÄ« (mgehr), from false claimers.
If you have doubts about the event [The Emergence], you will become sure by: seeing “Prophet of God (pbuh&h)’s promise, the flag, the armâ€1, and one of ImÄm Huá¹£ayn (pbuh)’s offspring “Nafs al- Zakiyyahâ€. But if you have doubts again, you will become definite by hearing “The Divine Call2†which calls upon his [ImÄm MahdÄ« (mgehr)’s] name and his divine duty3. (TafsÄ«r al- Najashi, Volume 1, Page 65)
The objective of Nafs al- Zakiyyah
There isn’t any valid account of “The goal of Nafs al- Zakiyyah by his activities which will lead him to martyrdomâ€! Therefore, the following cases aren’t conclusive:
1-   He will be sent to Mecca by ImÄm al -ˈAsre [ImÄm ZamÄn (mgehr)], in order to give ultimatum1. So, they won’t later have any excuse not to help the ImÄm (mgehr).
The time QurʾÄn commemorates on the martyrs…
SaÊ¿d b. Ê¿Abd AllÄh said:
 [Once] Aḥmad b. IsḥÄq and I were sitting in the presence of ImÄm AskarÄ« (pbuh).
I had some questions, [but] the ImÄm stated, ‘Ask my dear [then he pointed to His Excellency MahdÄ« (mgehr)].
Ä€shÅ«rÄii women; The women who look forward to the Emergence
When piety is the criterion of value, the gender isn’t main.
Its high time, we recall Siyaneh1 who was a stylist in Ferˈon’s castle. She was a martyr in the right path [Path of God] who will (Rajˈat2) return to the world after the emergence.
Historically, there have been the women who were bright. Of the most well- known and brilliant ones are: Their Excellencies Fatimah, Maryam, and Asiya (pbu th).
The terrible battle of Qirq
After suppressing the opponents, Sufyanī and his large army, will rush into Iraq. So they will head Iraq. When they reach toQirq (Acity in Syria where khabur and Euphrates rivers meet) there will happen a battle and many people will be killed! Perhaps the reasonof such a decimation, is resisting the rulers of the land against Sufyanī’s avarice.
SufyanÄ«, After attacking Iraq  Â
According to an authentic hadith by ImÄm SadÄ«q (pbuh), ‘After SufyanÄ« occupies the safe zones [Damascus, Homs, Palestine, Chalcis ad Belum [in Halab]and Jordan], he will run for nine months…’ (Al- Ghaybah, TÅ«sÄ«, Ibid, 452)
