Wherever Buddhists are, Maitreya is as a main character in their thoughts.
It is a thought that still exists among the Buddhists
Have you known, Mahdī (mgehr)is the most famous title for Imam Zaman (mgehr)?
[And], have you known the word Mahdavīat is more famous amongst the Sunnis?
In narrations the title Mahdī (mgehr) has mostly referred after his emergence, and the title Qā’im (mgehr) before his emergence.
Imam Bāqir (pbuh) stated, ‘Indeed he was called Mahdī, because he is going to be guided via the secret [Divine] path.
اصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ [ص/۱۷] Have patience at what they say, and remember our servant David, the […]
The looking forward mentioned in narrations, is not just sitting and crying!
[But], we should prepare ourselves for serving Imam Mahdi (mgehr).
Looking forward for The Emergence means being on the alert for it, prepared,
The above verse shows they [disbelievers’] denied Imam Qa`em (mgehr)
As they will say to him (mgehr),’We do not know you. And you are not of Fatima (pbuh)’s descendants.’
Just like what polytheists said to Prophet Muḥammad (pbuh&h)!
Some materials are essential for a train, to reach a destination;
Including wagons, rails, fuel, locomotives, a locomotive driver and a path clear of obstacles [such as falling rocks, etc.]
Also some trains smoke and whistle, which show they are approaching the destination.
Smoke and whistle are like the signs of the Emergence
…. If they had been apart,We should certainly have punished the Unbelievers among them with a grievous Punishment.
(Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-FATH, verse 25)
This is God’s destiny that [sometimes] disbelievers and hypocrites carry the deposits1of believers in their loins.
Hence Imam Ali (pbuh) didn’t kill their fathers [ancestors], in order for those deposits to be born [afterward].
When they offer syrups, sweets, chocolates or something else to polite children at a party,
They [children] look at their father, before they get something.
Their father look, decides what to take and what not!
In his book Ibṭāl al-Bāṭil, Faḍl Ibn Rūzbahān wrote some sentences about the truth of prophet (pbuh&h)’s Ahl al-Bayt [household]. He ends the text as:
How good I wrote about them:
Peace be upon Mustafā1 (pbuh&h); Mujtaba 2. [The Prophet (pbuh&h)]
Peace be upon Sayyid4 Murtaḍā5 [Imam Ali (pbuh)]
Peace be upon our lady Fāṭimah (pbuh), whom God assigned her Khayr al-Nisā’ 5
️وأُخْرَى تُحِبُّونَهَا نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فتح_قریب وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِين [صف/۱۳]
And another (favour will He bestow,) which ye do love,- help from Allah and a speedy victory. So give the Glad Tidings to the Believers. (Holy Qur`an, Surah AS-SAFF, verse 13)
Imam al-Bāqir (pbuh) stated:
By victory, it refers to the victory [Emergence] of Qa`em (mgehr) of Ale Muḥammad2 (pbu th) in the world.
