The Shi‘ah is waiting for the Living Imam (‘atfs) for waiting for his advent is one of the highest forms of worship. From the Shi‘ah viewpoint of history, the world will certainly witness the government of justice of the Imam of the Time (‘atfs) and tyrannical systems will cease to exist. In An Overview of the Mahdi’s Government, the esteemed author deals with an issue that is rarely discussed in the study of Imam al-Mahdi (‘atfs). He delves into the manner of the Imam’s uprising, government system and method of rule. |

Wiladat of 12th Imam (a)
Youth Program.
- when we write areedha, we take the opportunity to break out of the ghafla that we live in to communicate with the imam (a).
- yes imam (a) is ghaaib -- but it is really we are the ones who are in ghayba. he is everywhere but we don't search for him.
- he is the most perfect human being who is alive right now. when we walk into a house where someone is there we say salaam to him. imam (a) is everywhere but we only say salaam to him once in a while.
- if you want to get closer to someone, you respect him. for example if your friend doesn't listen to music you won't listen to music in his presence. so if you want to build a relationship with him then you try to emulate and respect him.
- imam (a) is one of the most madhloom imams out of all the imams
- why do you leave him alone and go to others. why do you make friends with them.
- yes we are waiting for him (a) -- all the prophets and imams (a) before him were waiting for him -- but he is now waiting for us.
- does he want to make a relationship with you? you have to make yourself likeable.
- does he know about you? yes indeed because your deeds are shown to him.
- shouldn't you feel a bit obliged to the imam (a)? what has he not done for islam? what has his family not done for islam?
- If I talk to the Imam (a), he will hear me and see me, but it is I who am deaf and dumb and unable to hear his reply. |

Imam Mahdi katika Usunni Na Ushia
by Sayyid Abdul Rahim al-Musawi na Sheikh Abdul Karim al-Bahbahani
[Swahili]
|
Views: 9301 |
Kwa Waislamu, imani ya kuja kwa Mahdi (Muhudi) karibu ya mwisho wa dunia ni imani ambayo ina asili katika dini. Waislamu wote bila kujali tofauti za madhehebu zao wanakubaliana juu ya imani hii kwamba Mtukufu Mtume (s.a.w.) alisema: "Hata iwe imebakia siku moja tu kwa dunia hii kufikia mwisho wake Allah atairefusha siku hiyo ili kumwezesha Imam huyo kutawala na kuujaza ulimwengu huu uadilifu, amani na utulivu wakati ambapo ulikuwa umejaa ufisadi na dhulma." Kitu cha kuvutia ni kwamba imani hii haiko kwa Waislamu tu bali hata katika dini nyingine wana imani kama hii kwamba atatokea mtu wakati wa mwisho ambaye ataondoa dhulma na ufisadi na kuujaza ulimwengu huu uadilifu, amani na utulivu. “Hakika ulimwengu unalingojea suluhisho litakaloukusanya chini ya bendera moja na tamko moja.” (Bertrand Russell)
