Words of the Present Living Imam of the Age to guide you to Heaven
Truly, the Almighty Allah has not created human beings and all creation without any purpose, and has not let them free without any responsibility
Note: a) I have not created the Jinn and the mankind but to serve & worship Me (Zariat 51:A56)
b) Worship Me, this is the straight path(S 36:A61)
c) The HONOR of being Your servant is sufficient for me and the PRIDE that You are my Lord is enough for me. You are as I love You to be, so MAKE me as You like me to be. (Ali A.S)
d) It is Wisdom which makes you worship God, the Compassionate and thereby earn His paradise. Imam Sadeq (A.S)
e) We could not worship You. O God! as much as You are worthy of being worshipped. (Mohammad (S.A)
f) Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies God, the Sovereign, the Holy, the Mighty, the Wise. (Juma’h 62:1)
Creations of God are countless both animate and inanimate, visible and invisible, trillions of angels all over the universe glorify and worship God, then why has God created men and made His worship obligatory ? Well, God does not benefit from our worship and glorification. He is beyond all necessity; it is We who benefit by obeying and worshiping God, for thereby we attain perfection in conduct and character and get spiritually near to God (Liqha allah) and this is a heavenly blessing for us because all mankind by obeying God’s messenger(S.A) and Imams(A.S) shall enter God’s paradise and live there eternally.
g) The skeptic Arabs told Mohammad (S.A) that they will worship his (S.A) God for a year provided that he also worship their idols for the next year. Thus every alternate year they will worship their idols .The holy messenger was asked by God in the surah e Kaferoon" Tell them (the skeptics): "For you your religion (idolatry)and for me my religion (Islam)(lakum deenokum wa lee a deen )
There is no compulsion in religion( La Ikraha fid Deen).Man is free to be atheist, skeptic, polytheist or Muslim and there lies their test and trial and hence there is the day of Recompense, heaven and hell for administration of perfect justice by God, the most Exalted Sovereign.
Indeed this world is never devoid of a divinely appointed authority (holy prophet or Imam) either manifest or in concealment.
Note: a) There is a firm promise of messengers in the holy Quran: When God took a solemn promise from the messengers (e.g. Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus (A.S) surely what I have given you of the Book & wisdom, should a messenger come to you thereafter confirming what is with you, YOU SHALL BELIEVE IN HIM AND HELP HIM. God asked: "Do you affirm & accept My solemn covenant in this regard?"
They (all messengers) replied: "We do affirm".
God said: "Then bear witness & I (God) am also among the witnesses with you. Then whoever turns away after this, it is they who are the transgressors."(S3:A81-83).
God’s messengers will be regarded as transgressors if they do not help His final messenger. But Jesus (A.S) who is alive will help Mohammad (S.A) by helping his last successor, Imam Mahdi (A.S).Thus Jesus will actually fulfill his solemn promise or covenant with God.
Jesus (A.S) representing all the messengers will help Imam Mahdi (A.F) in establishing the kingdom of Justice of God throughout the world. Thus this covenant in the holy Quran will be fulfilled after the emergence of Imam Mahdi & Jesus (A.S).
b) The reason for concealment. God has said:"O believers! Do not ask about things which if made known to you, you will be hurt (Maieda5:A101)
c) Remember on the day (of judgment) We will summon every group of people with their Imam (Isra 17:A71).
Some people will gather with the Imams appointed by God and most people with Aemmat al kufr i.e. the political leaders who deceived people by misinterpreting the holy Quran & disregarding hadith e thaqalayn.
Imamat will continue as long as Quran is there, i.e. up to Doomsday because Etrat, the talking Quran and the silent holy Quran are inseparable although messengership has been terminated by God.
d) One who dies without cognizance of Imam of his time is as if he has died in the age of ignorance (as idolater).
Remember that Imam Mahdi (A.S) is the Imam of the present age, and therefore we should have his cognizance. (The holy messenger (A.S)
3. God has bestowed Mohammad (S.A) with His messengership as a grace and mercy for the world and has culminated his best blessings and bounties through him. God appointed him as His last messenger and sent him for the entire humanity.
Note: a) They (Mohammad & Ale Mohammad) are the best of all people (Bayyenah 98:A7)
b) You have in God’s messenger a GOOD exemplary model (for the pious believers in God and the Hereafter). (S33:A21)
c) I am sent as God’s messenger for perfection of conduct & character of mankind. (Therefore Mohammad (S.A) is the greatest blessing of God for all mankind )
d)Indeed you (Mohammad SA) are at the zenith of good conduct (Qalam 68:A4)
e) When people’s intelligence and wisdom attains perfection to know the Sender of messages (God) then they can recognize His messengers (A.S) as well.
4. If you crave for divine guidance and admonition you shall be blessed with it. Seek and you shall find, so lock the door of such queries which do not help you. (Do not bother to know that which does not enlighten you.)
Note: a) He (God) is with you wherever you may be; and God sees what you do. (Hadid 57:4)
b) One can have cognizance of God from God Himself. You can recognize God through His Power & Might over everything.
c) Ali (A.S) has said: "I see God before everything, with everything & after everything" i.e. God can be seen by heart everywhere and with everybody although invisible.
d) Indeed God & His angels shower blessings upon the prophet (Mohammad S.A) O! You who have faith! always bless him with salawaat and salaam ,a worthy salutation .(Ahzab 33:56)
God taught the holy Messenger (S.A) that in the daily compulsory prayers (salaat) all Muslims should say ‘Tashahhud’ that is "I bear witness that Mohammad is His servant & His messenger O, my God! send blessings upon Mohammad and Ale Mohammad" ’Hence if someone doesn’t bless ‘Ale Mohammad (the Imams) it will be disobedience to God. So then how can God accept one’s salaat?
5. O God! Protect us against blindness after divine enlightenment and from going astray in spite of divine guidance and from fatal vicious deeds and cunning ruinous plots.
Note: a) A person is really blind if he cannot see God, in spite of all His glaring signs and His Might.
b) Whoever has been blind in this world shall be Blind in the Hereafter. (Isra17:72)
On the day of resurrection We shall raise him blind (Taaha 20:124)
He will say: "My Lord! Why have you raised me BLIND though I used to see?" God will say: "So it is .Our message & Aayaat came to you, but you forgot them, and thus you will be forgotten today". (Taaha20:126)
c) Intrigues & plots against the Messenger(S.A) & their successors, the Imams(A.S) by satanic forces were responsible for deviations in God’s heavenly religion &its splitting into many sects .All religions from God are but one ,although God changed some laws to suit different times. The finalized religion for perfection of mankind was brought by God’s last messenger (S.A) for the entire universe & shall last up to end of this world
6. Quest of knowledge contrary to the divine sacred knowledge of the holy family (Ahle bayt) of the best messenger (S.A) is like rejecting the divinely appointed Imams.
Note: a) Keep us on the straight path, the path of those whom You have blessed. (S 1:6&7)
The straight path is the one finalized by God and followed by Mohammad (S.A) & the sinless Imams, who never worshipped idols. They are the most blessed ones by God and are presented as the best models to be followed by all mankind.
b) Certainly We wrote in the Zaboor (the Psalms of David) after Remembrance, that My righteous servants shall indeed inherit the earth (Anbiya21:105)
The Imams (A.S) who were weakened by the usurpers will be granted power and inherit this earth after the respite for Satan is over.
c) O My people! Remember Allah’s favor upon you when He appointed prophet as His divine guide among you … and gave you what none of the nations were given.(S5:A20)
The greatest favor of God for a people is His divine guides i.e. the messengers& the Imams.
d) Love for us (Imams)is faith and hatred against us is faithlessness (Imam Sadegh A.S)
e) O God! Let me have cognizance of Your guiding authority (Hojjat) lest I should be in the dark about my religion & go astray.
7. Our hearts are receptacles of God's divine Will, hence when He intends we the Imams too intend the same.
Note: a) And you (Imams) do not wish unless it is wished by God. (Insan 76: A 30)
b) You did not kill them, it was God who killed them (in the battle of Badr) & you did not throw when you threw (sand into eyes of enemy) but God had thrown. (Anfaal 8: A 17)
You are the powerful hand and tongue of God, and let your faith defeat your suspicion and doubts.
c) You (Imams) act according to God’s intentions. (ziaarate jameah kabira)
The holy messenger’s (S.A) and the divine Imams’ (A.S) complete reliance on the acts of God and His orders for performance of their duties is the secret that they act according to His command; and their perfect trust in that secret constitutes the origin of all their actions.
d) Be with God & govern the hearts, otherwise with your own freewill you can choose to be with Satan & do whatever you like, you can even help tyrant rulers and become fuel for hell as you can never escape punishment on the Day of Recompense.
8. Indeed we are not heedless about your conditions nor can we forget you (your needs and supplications).
Hence every one of you should perform that which wins our love and abstain from all things that arouse our hatred and wrath.
Note: a)Imam Reza (A.S)was asked to explain the hadith that Ali(A.S)divides people into those going to Heaven & to Hell, The Imam(A.S) replied :"Those who love Ali(A.S) will go to Heaven & those who are enemies of Ali (A.S)will go to Hell.
b) If you love God, obey me (Mohammad S.A) then God will love you. (Aale I’mran3:A29) Love is worthy when it is accompanied with obedience to God & His beloved Messenger (S.A) and the sinless Imams (A.S).
c) Indeed my Lord is Merciful, Affectionate. (S Hud 11: A 90)& He is the Forgiving, the Loving (Wadud) (S Burooj 85: A 14)
Love begets love .God’s love is in every heart therefore love & obey God & His divine guides, who are the best blessings of God for you.
9. So nothing separates us from them except their offensive and detestable actions that confront us.
Note: a) A cause of separation from Imam Mahdi (A.F) is that people are not worthy of living with him without purifying themselves from sins which offend him. Imam Sajjad (A.S) has said that all efforts for forgiveness of one sin are futile if it were not for God’s boundless Mercy.
God says: O you who believe! Beware of sins, be pious and fear God’s punishment & seek the Means of Nearness to God) (S5:A35).
Of course, the fourteen sinless guides are the best Means to intercede for forgiveness from God, so do not displease them. God has said:"As for My sincere servants you (Satan) shall have no authority over them (S17:A63).
Satan has said: If you respite me until the Day of Resurrection I will surely destroy his (Adam’s) progeny, all except a few. (S17:A62) .So we should guard ourselves against Satan and please Imam Mahdi(A.F)and thus hasten his appearance.
b) This world is a prison for a faithful believer whereas it is a paradise for a faithless skeptic.
10. Indeed there is no family relationship between the Mighty and Majestic God and anyone whosoever.
Note: a) Jesus (A.S) was born without a father by Virgin Mary (A.S) It was a miracle indeed. But Adam (A.S) was created without father & mother, so also the first and foremost pairs of all animals and birds just by the Will of God (Kun fa Yakun). Whatever God intends it happens soon or late. Jesus (A.S) never claimed to be a son of God. It is a false accusation from those who mutilated the divine heavenly religion. So God sent His last messenger (S.A) for correction of deviations in Judaism and Christianity. Jesus (A.S), Ezra & angels are not sons and daughters of God.
b) The fourteen sinless souls, who are closest to God, never claimed to be God’s relatives.
c) When Muslims recite ziarat of Imam Husain (A.S) they say, Salaam on you O Jesus, the Ruhullah! meaning the soul created by God & not the soul of God. God created Adam from dust in the image He had in Mind, then He made him alive with a soul newly created by God which did not exist from eternity like God, so Ruhullah is like Baytullah (the house of God built by Abraham A.S) is attributed to God, who is everywhere and does not need a house nor a wife and a son. God is above all needs and necessities.
11. Truly the right is with us and within us .No one else can declare this except a cunning liar and no one else can claim this except an astrayed mercenary person who misleads others.
Note: a)Hadith of the golden chain : Imam Reza (A.S) has quoted a hadith from his ancestors, the seven Imams & the holy messenger(S.A) & from Gabriel that God has said: "THE KALEMAH THERE IS NO GOD EXCEPT ALLAH" is My fortress &whoever enters My fortress is secure against My punishment" and then Imam Reza (A.S) added it is a conditional statement & I am one of its conditions. i.e. Without recognizing the Imam no one can enter the fortress of God. Satan, who has firm belief in God & in the Hereafter had recited the Kalemah of oneness of God for thousands of years, yet he could not enter God’s fortress because of his pride in denial of superiority of Adam (A.S). The crafty worldly politicians because of their pride have like Satan, misled people by not recognizing the excellence of the sinless Imams and the present twelfth Imam Mahdi (A.F)
b) As for those who desire the life of this world & its charms and beauties We will recompense them for their performance therein, and they will not incur loss in it (in this world).
They are the ones FOR WHOM THERE SHALL BE NOTHING IN THE HEREAFTER BUT FIRE, and what they accomplished in this world is in vain and what they perform is of no value( in the Hereafter) ( Hud11:A 15-16)
12. The Mighty and Majestic God will not let down right but will exalt it to perfection and will not tolerate evil (indefinitely) but will surely destroy it completely.
Note: a) Tell them the Right has come and Evil has vanished. Indeed Evil is bound to vanish. (Isra 17: A 81)
b) "Ali is with the Right & the Right is with Ali (A.S) (the holy Messenger S.A)
c) O Ali without you it would not have been possible to recognize the true believers after you,… You are the guiding light for the blind at heart and the strong cord of God (Habl ullah) and God’s straight path (the holy MessengerS.A)
d) Where is Mahdi (A,S) the destroyer of the buildings of polytheism and hypocrisy? Where is Mahdi(A.S) who will bring honor for the friends and abase the enemies? O God! Establish the Right and destroy the Evil by his presence (Dua e Nudbah)
e) And certainly Our word has already gone beforehand in favor of Our servants, the Messengers, that surely they shall be the assisted ones and indeed our troops shall be the victors (Saaffaat 37: A171-173)
Soon they will see Our punishment when Mahdi (A.F) emerges
13. A) And indeed I am the saviour for all inhabitants of this earth. I am the one who shall fill this world with justice, just as it gets replete with tyranny & hypocrisy.
B) I am the protected and reserved divine authority of God on His earth
Note: a) And all of you cling to the cord of God. (the fourteen sinless guides) and be not divided( into sects).(AleEmran3:A103)
Jews, Christians and Muslims got divided into many sects in spite of the fact that the highway that leads to God is only one that is the straight path to which God has guided through all His messengers, Imams and heavenly books like Torah, Bible and Quran. This indicates how hypocrites have diverted people from the highway in their own interests, in disobedience to God.
And remember God’s blessings on you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts (with love) so you became brethren with His blessings and you were near the precipice of fire of hell then He saved you from it. (Aale E’mran3:A103)
Hypocrites divided Muslims into more than 70 sects such as shia, sunni, sufi, jabri, qadri and so on and into subdivisions like nusairi, ismaili, shafeie, maleki, hanafi, hambali, wahhabi, zindiqi etc. These divisions were based on ‘divide and rule’ policy of the hypocrites. The ignorant people followed the hypocrites instead of clinging firmly to the cord of God, i.e. messenger and his sinless successors the imams(A.S)as declared by the holy messenger of God on many occasions.
b) We sent our messengers with clear evidence (miracles) and we sent down with them the (heavenly) Book & the Balance (Almizaan, for weighing the righteous and evil deeds) that men may maintain JUSTICE. (Hadid 57:A25)
c) The inhabitants of the entire world ,tired of evil and tyranny and thirsty for justice will gather around Imam Mahdi (A.S)and help him in erasing oppression and despotism from the surface of the earth with no discrimination for wealth, power, age, language, color of skin and native land. except piety which makes a person most honorable near God. At first 313 persons, representatives of the Imam, will gather around him from all over the world followed by 10000 men when Imam Mahdi (A.S)will emerge and uprise announcing: "I am the last divine authority (Baqiatollah) to guide you".
Thus God will revive His religion and provide you with power and all facilities to establish His universal rule of justice. Human knowledge will progress so much that the Imam (A.S)could demolish all factories of modern atomic weapons.
People close to the twelfth Imam (A.S)will possess more knowledge than the minister of King Solomon who brought throne of the Queen Sheeba in a wink’s time from Yemen to Palestine.
14. I am the final successor of the last messenger of God
I am the upholder of right in the present age.
I am the Mahdi (the divinely appointed guide)
Note: a) O you who have faith! Answer the call of God and the call of his messenger when he summons you to that which will GIVE YOU LIFE. Know that God intervenes between a man and his heart ,and towards HIM you will be resurrected(Anfaal 8:A24 ) One who turns a deaf ear to God and his divine guides is spiritually dead and the one who knows the real purpose of life is really alive.
b) And from amongst them WE APPOINTED IMAMS to guide (the people) by Our Aayaat. (Sajdah 32: A 24)
It is God who appoints Imams like His messengers and the whole world cannot elect an Imam. Imamat will continue up to emergence of Imam Mahdi (A.F).
c) Imam Baqir (A.S) has said that the twelfth Imam (A.S) is called Mahdi because God informs him about the unseen and on that basis he will give verdict for beheading the murderer without any witnesses.(as God changes his laws to suit the era of Imam Mahdi’s reign)
d) The holy messenger (S.A) has said: "This Husain is Imam, son of Imam, brother of Imam and ancestor of nine generations of Imams, the ninth of whom is Qaem (A.S) who will uprise and fill the entire earth with justice after it had been replete with tyranny and oppression.
15. Through me the Mighty and Majestic Allah shall remove all the troubles and calamities from my household and my lovers and followers (shias).
Note: a) Shia is used in the sense of friend and follower in the holy Quran in many Aayaat e.g.: Indeed Abraham was among his lovers (Shia) when he came to his Lord with a sound and peaceful heart. (Saaffaat 37:A83)
The holy prophet has said that Abraham (A.S) was mystified by observing a number of lights emitted from Throne (Arsh).God told him these are lights of the fourteen sinless ones and mentioned their names and God said the sea of illuminations close to them are the shias of these fourteen individuals, then Abraham (A.S) beseeched God to include him with their Shias. Hence the above Aayat was revealed in the Quran (Arbaoon,by Mohammad bin Abil Favares )
b) Salman e Farsi , Abuzar Ghaffari, Meisam e Tammar, Mighdad and Ammar e Yaser were all shias of Mohammad (S.A) and Ale Mohammad(A.S)and they were considered as true Muslims with no hypocrisy as attributed to the political Muslim companions of the holy messenger. Salman e Farsi was at the tenth stage of faith so he was declared as a member of the family by the holy Messenger (S.A)
c) Imam Baqir (A.S) has said those who claim to be shia should know that shias are our friends and followers. They are 1.pious 2.obedient and they can be recognized by their 3.humbleness 4.uprightness, 5.trustworthiness, and by their 6. remembrance of God, their 7.salaat 8. fasting 9.kindness to parents 10. respect for the rights of neighbors 11. their assistance for the poor and the disabled, 12.sympathy for the destitute 13. loving behavior towards orphans, 14.truthfulness 15. recitation of the holy Quran, and acting according to all commandments and laws in it 16. True Shi’as control their tongue and use it in the best manner for beneficence 18. wish the best for all the servants of God and 19. give shelter to their friends.
16. I am the Avenger (for seeking vengeance) against enemies of God.
Note: a)God is Almighty Avenger. (Aale I’mraan 3:A4)& (5:A95).
God’s vengeance will begin after uprising of Imam Mahdi (A.F) and Satan’s respite will be over.
b) God has kept you (Mahdi A.S) in reserve for assisting the religion, and for strengthening the believers and for vengeance against the disbelievers.
c) Where is the avenger of the blood of the messengers and the sons of the messengers? Where is the avenger of the blood of the martyr of Karbala? (Dua e Nudbah)
d) God is proud of Imam Husain (A.S) who was steadfast in his test in life and He utilized not only his life but even death to serve his purpose .He sacrificed everything, his dear children and friends and supporters to revive True Islam of God by rejecting allegiance to the cursed tree in Quran (Bani Umayyah i.e AbuSofyan, Moaviah, Yazid etc.) and by preferring martyrdom in the imposed battle in Karbala. All those who are blind to appreciate the heroic sacrifice of Imam Husain (A.S) shall be with their Imam (Yazid) on the Day of Judgement and not with Imam Husain (A.S) the chief of youths of paradise.
e) O you who believe! Whoever from you turns back from his religion (Islam)God will bring a people (God’s messenger put his hand on Salman e Farsi and said, " From his country") whom He loves and who (Persians) love Him, humble towards the believers and stern against the unbelievers, striving hard in God’s way without fearing the blame from any accuser. That is God’s Grace which He showers on whomever He wishes and God is Magnanimous, All Knowing (Maedah5: 54).
17. Truly, there were none of my ancestors with pressure on him for demand of allegiance to a contemporary satanic ruler.
Note: a) The Imams prudently saved Islam from being nipped in the bud They preferred martyrdom, sacrifice & suffering in prison but did not give up their right and freedom to oppose the satanic hypocritical Muslim rulers. Thus they never disgraced the honor of God & His venerable messengers, like Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus & Mohammad (S.A)
b) Surely those who swear oath of allegiance to you, do but swear allegiance to God, the hand of God is above their hands, so whoever breaks his oath of allegiance it is to the detriment of his own soul(Fath 48 :A10).
Therefore all those who broke their oath of allegiance to Ali (A.S) have broken Allegiance to the Messenger (S.A) and to God as well. The holy Messenger (S.A) had declared; "To whomever I am Master, Ali is his Master".
c) After the murder of Osman the third khalifa, Ali (A.S) was chosen by the people as their fourth khalifa. Talha and Zubair had sworn allegiance to Ali (A.S) but they were covetous for Khilafat so they broke their oath of allegiance and fought the battle of Jamal against Ali (A.S).Ali (A.S)regarded the position of an elected Khalifa as not even worth his worn out old shoe. The divine Imamat is far superior to the elected Khilafat. The role of people is to be obedient to God his messenger and the divinely appointed Imams.
18. And I will emerge when I emerge there will be no yoke of allegiance on me, nor subjection to any satanic rebellious power.
Note: a) When Imam Mahdi (A.S) emerges, Jesus (A.S)will descend on earth and assist him .He will advance him to lead prayers and follow behind him( for congregation prayers) (Amaali Sk.Saduq)
b)The greatest hindrance for emergence of Imam Mahdi (A.S) is that people lack decency and civility and are not befitting and worthy of his presence. God can make Imam Mahdi (A.S) appear whenever He likes, even without any predicted signs, if people yearn for him earnestly and purify their souls to obey him.
c) Revolution in Iran by a person from Qom, (Imam Khomaini) who ousted the autocracy of 2500 yrs, is a sign of emergence of Imam Mahdi (A.S) (Beharol Anvaar volume 57 p. 216)
A few other signs for reappearance of Imam (A.S) are as follows:
1) This world will be filled with tyranny and oppression.
2) Uprising of Sufyani
3) Uprising of Yemeni
4) An outcry or shriek from the sky around the world
5) Changes in climate throughout the world etc.
d) I (Jesus) didn’t tell them take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah except what You had commanded me…. as long as I was among them but when YOU had taken me away (to the fourth heaven) YOU Yourself were watchful over them (S 3: 55&59)(S5 :116,117)
So Jesus is not dead but kept alive to help Imam Mahdi (A.S) for vengeance against God’s enemies.
19. Well the time of my emergence for deliverance of this world from evil depends upon the will of God and all those who foretell the exact time of my emergence are liars.
Note: a) Oracles & those who predict ones future are liars, because God changes the destiny of a person according to his good deeds and supplications especially on the night of destiny (Lailatol Qadr), also due to prayers by his parents friends and relatives; therefore future of everyone is not predestined but is changeable by God. Hence Exact time of emergence of Imam Mahdi (A.S) is unknown and depends upon God’s discretion and is foretold by liars only.
b) Allama Iqbal says you are a living being and free to choose and not controlled by stars so those who foretell the entire life of a person from his birth star are mistaken. Those who lay the blame of all crimes and sins on predestination are misguided by Satan and they will definitely be punished as they themselves are responsible for their devilish and sinful life.
The Imams (A.S) have explained that there is neither 100% compulsion by fate nor 100% freewill but the truth is golden mean between the two extremes.
20. When God will permit us to announce the Truth, Right shall get manifest and Evil shall be destroyed.
a) And We desired to show favor to those who were abased on the earth and to make them Imams and to make them the heirs and to establish them on the earth ( Qasas 28 Ayat 5)
God has appointed Imams from the progeny of Ibrahim, such as Ismaiel, Isaac, Jacob, Moses (A.S) and Mohammad (S.A) etc. Similarly God appointed 12 Imams from the progeny of Mohammad (S.A) the last of them is the present Imam Mahdi (A.F) who is kept alive like Khizr (A.S) and shall inherit this earth and establish universal kingdom of justice of God.
b) Inheritance from the holy Messenger (S.A) (Such as the holy Quran and Vilayat) is with you. Eventually all people will return to you (Imam) for divine guidance; and the final verdict that separates truth and falsehood is with you. (Ziyarat e Jameah Kabirah)
c) So truth is that which makes you (the Imams) pleased and gratified and evil is that which makes you wrathful (Ziyarate Aale Yaseen)
d) Nothing would triumph from evil but that (Imam Mahdi (A.S) shall destroy it completely (Duae’ A’hd)
21. Indeed God is Patient and it is you who are in a hurry.
Note: a) One of the best creations of God and a great blessing on earth is Imam Hussain (A.S) the chief of youth in paradise. He was brutally martyred along with his children, kith and kin, and his supporters by his enemies. Yet God was extremely patient. Why did He allow such a great tragedy? Two Aayaats of the Holy Quran answer this question.
1) Let not those who disbelief think that Our granting them respite was better for their souls. WE GIVE THEM RESPITE THAT THEY MAY ADD TO THEIR SINS AND THEY SHALL HAVE A DISGRACEFUL PUNISHMENT until the vicious are distinguished from the virtuous (Ale I’mran 3: 178)
2) Indeed THOSE WHO VEX GOD AND HIS MESSENGER are denounced by God in this world and the Hereafter and GOD HAS DISGRACEFUL PUNISHMENT READY FOR THEM. Those who are responsible for vexation to faithful men and women undeservedly they are certainly guilty of false accusation and manifest sin. (Ahzab 33: 58 -59)
God gives them a very long rope before punishment.
b) Mohtasham, a well known poet from Kashan, had written everlasting verses about Imam Husain (A.S) Once he wrote a verse and could not compose the second verse.
"Although God’s Exalted Self is free from sorrow" (first verse)
Imam Mahdi (A.S) inspired him to write the second verse as follows: "God is in heart and no heart is without sorrow" (second verse)
c) You (Imams) are the door for test and trial of people and you were patient in bearing all calamities that you had to face in upholding the side of God so as to save us from approaching the precipice of destruction and fire of hell. (Ziyarat e Jameah Kabirah)
22. Pray to God immensely for hastening my emergence & deliverance, for truly therein lies the deliverance of you all.
