AbÄ« Ḥamzah narrated from His Excellency KhÄdim (pbuh), that he stated, ‘All the angels who are sent by God to earth, for some affairs visit the ImÄm [ZamÄn (mGehr)], at first.

One of the factors of children’s bad behavior in the present societies is that “They often don’t experience the hardships of ordinary life!†Hence, when they face a problem in their lives, afterward, they wonder, “Why has this problem happened?!†That is, they don’t expect any problem to happen!

There are two ways to reduce suffering: To choose some appropriate [meaningful] suffering, and to welcome the suffering which God considered for us

One of the ways to reduce suffering is to choose some of the suffering ourselves! After accepting the philosophy of suffering, a wise individual will mention, “As I cannot get rid of suffering, I will choose some of them myself [and embrace it].†If we choose a positive and meaningful suffering, God will reduce our suffering two or more times; such as by giving alms/donations or so on. Although giving alms is a little suffering, poverty is making you suffer more!

Seeking comfort [convenience] is of the nature of humans. But, it can be in an extreme state, transforming, and leads humans to fall. We are not supposed to destroy seeking comfort in ourselves; instead, we should control and manage it. This doesn’t mean to remove all the comforts! On the contrary, we are supposed to provide ourselves with comforts and convenience.

While ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)’s Hujjah [Mahdaviiat] was clear, why did some Shiites consider “Nafs al- Zakiyyah1†or “Muḥammad ibn Hanafiyyah†as ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)?!

Although in some AḥÄdÄ«th which are about ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)’s rise, by the Messenger of God (pbuh&h) and his Ahl al Bayt (pbu th), it has been clarified that he is definitely the son of 11th ImÄm “AskarÄ« (pbuh)â€, because the people knew all Ahl al Bayt (pbu th) as “The best guide for people†and “Guided By Godâ€; therefore, facing cruelty and violation, they took refuge to one of them as “ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)†[It was a sort of psychological need to a divine ImÄm]. They would also take some other people with themselves.

Once, I went to the area “Askar†in Samarra to visit ImÄm AÅŸr (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.
