Imam-e-Zaman (a.s.): A Refuge of Mankind

Posted by | Feb 7, 2015 | , |

Imam-e-Zaman (a.s.): A Refuge of Mankind “Because of you we are relieved of our sorrows and our difficulties are solved.” (Ziaarat-e-Jamia) “If we had not protected you, you would have been surrounded by calamities and your enemies would have destroyed you.” (Tawqee of Imam Mahdi in Ihtejaj by Allama Tabarsi) Man is composed of negative as well as positive qualities. Sometimes he becomes so brave as to conquer the greatest wars easily. He conquers the forests and the deserts, alone. He travels in the depth of the sea and journeys in the heights of the atmosphere. Sometimes he becomes so much docile that he fears the darkness and his own shadow. Mental tension is such a thing that consumes and kills the bravest of men. The condition of the man is worth seeing when he is surrounded by the calamities but does not have any protector. And if there is someone to relieve the pain and remove the difficulties then the greatest problem is solved easily and the incurable disease is cured. The heart is laid to rest, the intentions firm up and the thinking and the consciousness come under control. Allah, the Almighty has bestowed upon us various bounties. But the greatest bounty of Allah upon us is that by which we can make the Purified Ahle Bait. (a.s.) as the channel for our invocations. We can invocate...

The Pseudo-Mahdi of the nineteenth century: Mahdi-e-Sudani

Posted by | Feb 7, 2015 | |

The Pseudo-Mahdi of the nineteenth century: Mahdi-e-Sudani The fact is hat if there had been no false claimants of Mahdaviyat the belief of Mahdaviyat would have been labeled as artificial and un-lslamic. But since he awn of Islam there had been a continuous flow of false claimants from mong he perpetrators of falsehood. They have appeared in various corners of the orld. In the 19th century some people claimed to be special deputies Naib Khaas) f Imam Mahdi (a.s.) and for some days propagated their false laims. Later hen they found that it is not sufficient for their vile purposes hey claimed o be the Mahdi and then claimed prophethood. But this claim id not influence he majority of the people. Only some selfish or gullible eople supported heir claim. Hence, ultimately they claimed divinity. The reason ehind the writing of this article is to prove that due to these false claimants, the sensible and impartial people conclude that the belief in Mahdaviyat is not unlslamic. Neither is it exclusive to any particular sect of Islam. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) has informed about it sometimes to his amily members and sometimes among his companions. The utterances of he Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) make it clear that the belief of Mahdi a.s.) is a belief from the foundations of Islamic doctrine. The rejection of his belief renders one an infidel.

Witnesses of the birth of Imam-e-Zaman (a.s.)

Posted by | Feb 7, 2015 | , , , , , |

Witnesses of the birth of Imam-e-Zaman (a.s.) Various objections have been raised regarding the birth of Imam Mahdi (a.s.). Keeping in mind the necessity for brevity we shall discuss only two types of objections – hoping the sensible people would be able to get the replies to other objections too. First of all is the objection that if the birth of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) has already occurred then a tradition in support of this should be shown to them in the Sahih Bukhari or Sahih Muslim (the two most popular books of traditions for Sunnis). They are willing to believe only after seeing such a tradition. Actually this objection is based neither on Shariat nor on reasoning and understanding. Rather, by refusing to believe in the birth of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) they have doubted the power of the Almighty Allah. Apart from this the objection is so foolish that any wise person would feel amused. Why should the Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim be considered the touchstone for proving the veracity of every fact At least they have not demanded the date of birth from the Holy Quran! This objection could be replied to in numerous ways but here it would suffice to give only three replies: 1. The Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim have never been used as a source for the date of birth of any istorical...

Why Occultation?

Why Occultation?

Posted by | Jan 31, 2015 | , |

Why Occultation? The Almighty Allah has bestowed the human beings with a superiority and has kept the rest of the creation under him. He says, ‘I have created man with the best parts’. Whether it is the earth or atmosphere, sea or the mountain, forest or the desert, man not only has superiority upon all these but they are subservient to his commands and power. But Allah has also said that when I turned around this man, I found him to be the worst of the creation. To show the superiority and specialty of man he has been given...
