Full-Length Text L’attente active de l’Imam al-Mahdi (a.j.) by Cheikh Muhammad Mahdi Al-Asifi [French] Views: 1106
L’Attente de notre 12ème Imam (as) ne se conçoit d’une manière passive car « la véritable attente La véritable attente est celle qui se rallie à l’action, visant à faire régner la justice dans le monde ».
