Again, the world is paying for its deeds. Widespread global unrest, murders, killings, plunder, pillage, confusion, commotion, shortages and scarcities in the market, high prices of commodities, unreliability, straitening of sustenance, etc. are all results and consequences of human vices and misdeeds. Allah the Almighty has drawn the attention of man towards this stark reality in the Holy Quran long back.“Mischief is manifest in the land and the sea for what the people have earned.” 1Habitually, we tend to blame others for our ills and absolve ourselves. The question is that if everybody is acquitted, then who is to be convicted? The fact is thatRead More →

Different hadiths exist regarding the martyrdom or passing away of Imam al-Mahdi (‘atfs), but because Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (‘a) has said, “Each one of us Imams will either be poisoned or martyred,” the hadiths that indicate the Imam’s martyrdom can have preponderance over others that say otherwise.Here, it will suffice to examine only a few pertinent hadiths.Concerning the noble Qur’anic verse, “Then We gave you back the turn (to prevail) over them,” 1 Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “It means the revival of Imam al-Husayn (‘a) and seventy of his companions during the period of the Imam of the Time wearing golden helmets.

One of society’s problems prior to the advent of the Imam of the Time (‘atfs) will be the deterioration of health conditions and the inefficiency of treatment measures, which as a result, will lead to the spread of contagious diseases and sudden death throughout the world.The spread of ailments such as leprosy, plague, paralysis, blindness, heart failure, and hundreds of others will be so threatening to the lives of people that it would seem as if everyone was waiting for certain death without any hope for a longer life.

One of the salient features of Hadrat al-Mahdi (‘atfs) is that he can know the inner personalities of people through their faces; he would be able to distinguish pious from impious personalities, and with the same knowledge of the remuneration of their deeds, he will deal with the corruptors.Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “When Hadrat al-Qa’im rises up, no one will be left except the person he knows to be a righteous and good, or the deviant and corrupt.” 1The Imam (‘a) also said: “When our Qa’im rises up, he will recognize our enemies from their faces. Then he will take them in their foreheads (heads)Read More →
