19. Advancement Of Knowledge
• Before reappearance, Allah, the Almighty, had granted two alphabets of knowledge to the Prophets (a.s.). Besides these two, twenty-five (25) more alphabets will be manifested through Imam az-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.).1
• Like justice and equity, Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) will spread knowledge throughout the world.2
• Due to the grace of Imam az-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.), knowledge will penetrate into the hearts of the people.3
• In that era, people will be taught the Holy Quran and its realities.4
• During that time, women confined in their houses will judge in the light of the Holy Quran and the traditions of the infallibles (a.s.).5
• At that time, people will have access to the seven heavens and the seven layers of earth.6
• The faculties of hearing and seeing will increase dramatically. Without any medium, they will see and listen to Imam az-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.).7
• The believers of the east will be able to see the believers of the west. Likewise, the believers of the west will be able see the believers of the east.8
