The Twelfth Imam Hazrat Mahdi (A.S.)

[پرنیان]

The Imam, the just Guide, Hazrat Mahdi (A.S.) was born half-way through the month of Sha'ban in the year 255 A.H. in the town of Samarra, and in 260 A.H., when his great father died, he reached the exalted position of the Imamate. His name (Muhammad) and his agnomen (Abu'l-Qasim) are the same as the Prophet's. His father, the 11th Shi'a Imam, was Hazrat Imam Hasan al-'Askari (A.S.), and his mother, the great lady Nargis. For various reasons, the twelfth Imam, from the first day of his life, did not appear publicly, and for about seventy years people were in communication with him through the intermediary of his special representatives, in order of succession: 'Uthman ibn Sa'id, Muhammad ibn 'Uthman, Husayn ibn Ruh, and 'Ali ibn Muhammad as-Samarri. This period of seventy years is known as the minor occultation (al-ghaybat as-sughra), and at the end of that period the major occultation (al-ghaybat al-kubra) began. During the major occultation till the time of his reappearance, no one has been his special representative, and there will be no one in the future, and the people have the duty to refer to the fuqaha, those excelling in knowledge of the shari'ah, and the narration of hadith who are specialised in the matters of the religion.

Time and Venue of the reappearance of His Eminence, the Master of the Age (a.s)

Here we shall discuss in brief traditions of the Messenger of Allah (a.s) regarding the time and place of reappearance of His Eminence, system of his government and the special characteristics of the companions of His Eminence.

Time of Reappearance

As for the time of the reappearance of His Eminence, Imam Mahdi (a.s), it would be a Saturday of the month of Mohurrum. It shall be the day when the chief of the martyrs, Imam Husain (a.s) was martyred (10th Mohurrum).1. Abu Basir narrated from Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s) that he said, “Our Qaim shall reappear on Saturday, the day of Ashura – the day when Imam Husain (a.s) was martyred.”2. Ali Ibne Mahziyar narrated from His Eminence, Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) that he said, “As if I am seeing the Qaim on a Saturday, the day of Ashura, standing between Rukn and Maqam and Jibraeel is in the front calling that oath of fealty be given to him for the sake of God. Then he shall fill the earth with justice and equity like it would have been full of injustice and oppression.”3. Abu Basir narrated from Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s) that he said, “Our Qaim shall not reappear but in an odd numbered year, like one, three, five, seven or nine, on the day of Ashura and (it would be) a Saturday. He shall stand between Rukn and Maqam and someone standing before him would be calling: ‘Allegiance, allegiance!’ Thus the helpers of His Eminence shall rush towards him from all around the world and give allegiance to him. Then through him the Almighty Allah would fill the earth with justice and equity, just as it would have been filled with injustice and oppression. Then he would move from Mecca to Kufa and camp at Najaf. From there he would dispatch his armies to various cities.”

Time of the call of the Angel

As for the time of the call of the angel or Jibraeel and his glad-tidings about the reappearance of His Eminence, Imam Mahdi (a.s) it is the eve of 23rd of the month of Ramadan. Some of the traditions about this are as follows:Muhammad bin Muslim says: A person asked His Eminence, Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s), “When would your Qaim reappeara” He replied, “When misguidance shall be more and guidance less… at such time, with the blessed name of Qaim on the eve of the 23rd of the month of Ramadan a call shall be issued and he would arise on the day of Ashura.”And it is said that the call of the angel is in the month of Ramadan and the reappearance of His Eminence is in the month of Shawwal of an odd numbered year.

Widespread Power of the Imam of the Time (a.s)

His Eminence, the Awaited Imam (a.s) is the first ruler of Islam whose dominion shall stretch from the east to the west and in the world there would be no command without his command.1. Ibne Abbas has narrated from the Messenger of Allah (a.s) that he said, “Caliphs, successors and proofs of God on the creatures, after me are twelve persons. The first of them is my brother and the last of them is my (great grand) son.” It was asked, “O Messenger of Allah (a.s)! Who is your brothera” He replied, “Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s).” He was asked, “Who is your sona” He replied, “Mahdi, who would fill the earth with justice and equity just as it would have been fraught with injustice and oppression. By the One Who has sent me as a giver of glad tidings, even if a solitary day remains for the tenure of the world, the Almighty Allah shall prolong this day till my son, Mahdi reappears in it, then His Eminence, the Spirit of Allah, Jesus son of Maryam shall descend (from the heavens) and stand to pray behind the Imam and the earth shall be washed in divine light and his rule shall surround the east and the west.”2. Abu Saeed Khudri narrated from the Messenger of Allah (a.s) that he said, “The world shall not end till a man from my Ahle Bayt (a.s) is at the helm of affairs and fills the earth with justice and equity just as it would have been fraught with injustice and oppression…”3. Abdullah Ibne Abbas narrated from the Messenger of Allah (a.s) that he said, “Four persons had been absolute rulers on the earth, two were believers and two infidels. Thus the two believing ones were Dhulqarnain and Sulaiman Hashmatullah and the two infidels were Bakht-e-Nasr and Nimrod and soon the fifth one, a person from my Ahle Bayt (a.s) shall be its undisputed ruler.”

Where is the distressed who is answered when he prays?

كجاست آنكه دعاى خلق پريشان را اجابت مى كند؟

***

وَقُلْتَ «مَا اسْالُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اجْرٍ

You also said, “I do not ask you aught in return

إِلاَّ مَنْ شَاءَ انْ يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلاًَ.»

except that he who wills, may take the way to his Lord.”

و باز فرمودى: بگو من از شما امّت اجر رسالتى نمى خواهم، جز آنكه شما راه خدا را پيش گيريد.

[پرنیان]

When his (i.e. the Prophet) days passed,

اقَامَ وَلِيَّهُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ ابِي طَالِبٍ

he appointed as successor his vicegerent `Al¢ the son of Ab£-±¡lib,

صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمَا وَآلِهِمَا هَادِياً

Your blessings be upon both of them and their Household,

إِِذْ كَانَ هُوَ ٱلْمُنْذِرَ

because he (the Prophet) was the warner

وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ

and `Al¢ was the guide for every people.

فَقَالَ وَٱلْمَلَا امَامَهُ:

So, he (the Prophet) said in the presence of the people,

”مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاَهُ

“As for each one who has taken me as his master,

فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاَهُ

`Al¢ is now his master.

اَللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاَهُ

O Allah, guard any one who is loyal to `Al¢,

وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

be the enemy of any one who antagonizes him,

وَٱنْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ

support any one who supports him,

وَٱخْذُلْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ.“

and disappoint any one who disappoints him.”

[پرنیان]

اَللَّهُمَّ انْتَ كَشَّافُ ْٱلكُرَبِ وَٱلْبَلْوَىٰ

O Allah, You are verily the reliever from agonies and ordeals.

وَإِِلَيْكَ اسْتَعْدِي فَعِنْدَكَ ٱلْعَدْوَىٰ

To You do I complain about the transgressions against me, for You alone are worthy of receiving complaints,

وَانْتَ رَبُّ ٱلآخِرَةِ وَٱلدُّنْيَا

and You are alone the Lord of the Hereafter and this world.

فَاغِثْ يَا غِيَاثَ ٱلْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ عُبَيْدَكَ ٱلْمُبْتَلَىٰ

So, (please) aid Your agonized worthless servant, O Aide of those who seek aid,

وَارِهِ سَيِّدَهُ يَا شَدِيدَ ٱلْقُوَىٰ

grant him (i.e. Your servant) chance to see his master, O Lord of mighty prowess,

وَازِلْ عَنْهُ بِهِ ٱلاسَىٰ وَٱلْجَوَىٰ

remove from him misfortune and anguish, in the name of his master,

وَبَرِّدْ غَلِيلَهُ يَا مَنْ عَلَىٰ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱسْتَوَىٰ

and satisfy his thirst, O He Who is established on the Throne

وَمَنْ إِِلَيْهِ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰ وَٱلْمُنْتَهَىٰ

and He to Whom is the return and the final goal.

اَللَّهُمَّ وَنَحْنُ عَبِيدُكَ ٱلتَّائِقُونَ إِلَىٰ وَلِيِّكَ
