Poem For Imam Mehdi (as)

Posted by | Jun 3, 2013 | |

Poem For Imam Mehdi (as) In The Anticipation Of The Dawn You are called ‘The Hidden Imam’ because you are out of sight, not that you are not present, Being hidden, in the sense that one is not present, is an unjust calumny. Those who believe in it fail to see the difference between Advent and Presence. Your arrival, for which we are ardently waiting, refers to your advent, not your presence. Your advent will be a great marvellous occurance, because your devout lovers have felt the very pleasure of the long-awaited Imam (as), On Fridays, they long for your arrival more restlessly, and face the Quibla to humbly supplicate the Author of the universe for His favor to allow your advent come to pass soon. And now, we, for whom you are the object of love and devoutness and the torch for our noctural mystic travelling, hum and hymm for waiting for your advent. (from:...

Necessity of the Existence of Imam al-Mahdi (AS)

Posted by | Jun 3, 2013 | |

Necessity of the Existence of Imam al-Mahdi (AS) This article addresses the necessity of the existence of the Representative of Allah on the earth at any time. The opponents of Shia protest that although Shia consider the Imam necessary in order to expound the injunctions and verities of religion and to guide the people, the occultation of the Imam is the negation of this very purpose, for an Imam in occultation who cannot be reached by mankind cannot be in any way beneficial or effective. The opponents argue that if God wills to bring forth an Imam to reform mankind, He is able to create him at the necessary moment and does not need to create him thousands of years earlier. In answer to this, it must be said that such people have not really understood the meaning of the Imam, for the duty of the Imam is not only the explanation of the religious sciences and external guidance of the people. In the same way that he has the duty of guiding men outwardly, the Imam also bears the function of “Walayah” and the internal guidance of human. The divinely appointed Imam directs human’s spiritual life and orients the inner aspect of human action toward God. Clearly, his physical presence or absence has no effect in this matter. Imam is the representative of Allah (Khalifatullah) on the earth,...

AL Mahdi In Sunni – Al-Imam al-Mahdi, The Just Leader of Humanity

Posted by | Jun 3, 2013 | |

Al-Imam al-Mahdi, The Just Leader of Humanity The Sunni Books on the Characteristics of the Mahdi The session began on time at Dr. Fahimi’s house. Dr. Fahimi welcomed the group and without wasting much time formulated his question with a brief introduction outlining the problem as he saw it. Dr. Fahimi: The personality of the Mahdi in the Shi’i traditions is prominent and clear. However, in the Sunni traditions it is mentioned briefly and that also with much ambiguity. For example, the story of his occultation which is recorded in the majority of your traditions, and which is regarded as the fundamental aspect of his attributes, is entirely absent in our traditions. The promised Mahdi in your hadith has different names such as Qa’im, Master of the Command and so on, which, in our sources, is lacking and he is mentioned only by one name, that is, Mahdi. More particularly, the Qa’im is totally missing in our hadith. Do you regard this as something normal, or do you see a problem with such an absence? Mr. Hoshyar: Apparently, the reason could be that during the Umayyad and ‘Abbasid periods the subject of Mahdiism had assumed a political dimension. As such the recording and dissemination of the traditions about the promised Mahdi, especially the signs of his appearance and all the details dealing with his occultation and revolution, was suppressed....

Mahdi (A.J) in Sunnies Rated : 9 (out of 10) 1 users voted It has been talked about Mahdi (AJ) in prophetic traditions a lot. Prophetic traditions are traditions that both Shia and Sunny certify. Because we try to explain Sunny’s beliefs about Mahdi (AJ) in this section, we refer to traditions found in Sunny’s authentic books so that his advent in traditions would be recognized. 1-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: “If it remains only one day to the end of the world, Allah will inspire a man of my family, who will make the world full of justice after it has become full of oppression.”[Sahih Aboodavood, vol. 2, p. 208] 2-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: “If it remains only one day to the end of the world, Allah will elongate that day until a man of my family whose name is the same as mine will be inspired, he will make the world full of justice after it ha become full of oppression.” [Sahih al-Tirmidhi, vol. 5, p. 343] 3-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: “Some time, the world will become full of oppression, and then a man of my family will appear .He will rule for seven or nine years and will make the world full of justice.”[Mosnad Ahmad, vol. 3, p. 28] 4-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: “Mahdi (AJ) is from my family and a son of my daughter, Fatimah (AS)”...
