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.”
Once I went to Kūfah Mosque. I saw my Sir, Walī Aşr (mGehr) was busy with worshipping. There, I stood up and said Hi. He answered my hello and ordered me to get nearer. I just went a little forward, because of the ethics. He stated, ‘Come nearer!’ And I just went a little forward. Again he stated, ‘Come nearer!’ When I got nearer, he affectionately embraced me and kept me tight on his chest.
Then, whatever The Almighty God wanted, was transferred to my heart and chest….
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?
In Ayatollah Khāmeneī’s point of view, the first and the most significant characteristic of the society which looks forward to the Emergence is that it has firm faith in the victory of truth against falsehood. Also, [it firm faith in] the sure fulfillment of God’s promise which will be the result of spreading justice, due to the emergence of the Promised Savior “His Excellency Mahdii (mGehr)”.
According to some translators and commentators of Nahj al-balāgha, this word announces the Emergence of His Majesty Mahdī (mgehr), and the dawn of justice, and refers to the general principle of “this darkness will end up by the dawn, and the dawn will be replaced by the morning.”
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.
Yes, these messages have not only been for Imām Huṣayn (pbuh)’s household but also for us!
Protect the religion of God; be sure God will protect you.
The most important message which is for all of us is:
Preserve your religion even in the worst conditions; God will definitely bless you.
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.
