⭕️ Buddies, let’s be intimate with Imam Mahdi (PBUH)

? Are we intimate with Imam Mahdi (PBUH)? Who is intimate? The one who lives nearer? Sometimes there are long distances but thoughts and actions are close. If it is so, we are intimate. Uwais al-Qarani was intimate with Prophet Muhamad (PBUH). Intimate means familiar, companion, close friend… Are my eyes, ears and tongue intimate?

? The fake claim sought to come to witness the mystery of the world; The unseen hand came, and kept his undeserving plea away.

? Once a group of people asked Imam Sajjad (PBUH) to rise against the government of that time. Imam said: “Which one of you can hold fire in his hand and endure till it’s cool without taking help from others.” Imam Baqir (PBUH) showed readiness for this action. His father, Imam Sajjad (PBUH), said: “I didn’t mean you…” (you are family and one of close friends). ? Az Furat ta Furat (From Furat to Furat), pt

⁉️ Does Imam Mahdi (PBUH) bring a new religion?

? Answer: The Quran is the last divine book and Islam is the seal of all divine religions and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the last Prophet. After him, the Imams were interpreters of the religion. During the government of caliphs and tyrants, many affairs were not put into practice and some were changed, and Ahl al-Bayt either remained silent under Taqiyya (religious dissimulation) or didn’t succeed defending the essence of Islam. After Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) Occultation, so many of Islamic issues remained unknown and each of scholars had their own pretentions of Ahkam (commands), while the truth is one and disputations will be removed by Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) presence.

? The meaning of the new religion in narrations is that Imam Mahdi (PBUH) will put deviations and false pretentions aside and abolish false opinions and implement Islamic Ahkam carefully. This would be new for the people who are far away from the real Islam, but it is not a new religion.

We cry for Hussain (AS) …So did the Prophet of Islam (S)
By Yasser al-Madani
Every year, Muslims around the world commemorate the tragedy of Karbala. They attend mourning meetings and processions in which the story of Karbala is retold, lamentations are held and special poetic readers using dramatic techniques and symbolism recite eulogies to mark the events of the day of Ashura. All these commemorative meetings not only serve to convey the events and message of Karbala but also provide opportunities for us to learn about Islam in general.

We commemorate Ashura’ to symbolise and express our grief and emotions towards the martyrdom of Imam al-Hussain (AS), to keep Imam al-Hussain’s (AS) cause alive in our hearts and to be committed to his cause. Also, we want to extract lessons from the tragedy of Karbala and apply them to our daily lives. We want to pay our condolences to the Holy Prophet (S) and the Ahlul Bayt (AS). You might then ask why we do not commemorate the death of the Holy Prophet (S) who has a much higher rank than Imam al-Hussain (AS). The answer to this is that although we do commemorate and mourn the death of the Holy Prophet (S), it is the way and circumstance in which Imam al-Hussain (AS) was martyred which makes all the difference, the fact that he was martyred for refusing a government headed by the wretched Yazid, who drank, gambled and indulged in many corrupt practices, the fact that those who savagely slaughtered Imam al-Hussain (AS) called themselves Muslims is what makes us mourn and lament his martyrdom the way we do.

? The world without Hussein 

? Priest Nadeem Naser, says about Karbala uprising and the universal love for lmam Hussein: 

“In my opinion, Karbala represents a battle and a symbolism , a collision between Hussein and Yazid , whose thirst for power and political ambitions blinded him from recognizing Imam Hussein’s position and role.

God’s position in any society is focal and not marginal. So, ‌‌as Imam Hussain, with a heart-felt belief in God, did not surrender to ambitions and tyranny, we too, surrounded by threats of secularism and violent globalization, should emphasize the role Imam Hussein and Jesus Christ play in our faith.

? We, too, should place God in the heart of our societyt

In talking with Hujjatul Islam Wal Muslimin Kazem Sediqi
We need the light of infallible Imams (A.S.)

To you is the Ziarah (visit) of the Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) only limited to going to the shrine of these great people, touching their Shrine, reciting the Ziarah pray and saying prayer or there is something beyond these deeds?
Ziarah is both what you explained and beyond this. I.e. all these deeds are an introduction to Ziarah. In dictionary meaning Ziarah means to visit. For example, in the convention this word is used in this meaning. So, Ziarah is mostly used in this meaning. According to these definitions, Ziarah means to visit and benefit from the affection.
Regarding the infallible Imams (A.S.), visiting them during their life is considered as Ziarah. As regards Imam Al-Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) at the present moment, it is certain that Ayatullah Bahjat visitedImam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance). Yes, if a prson goes to Imam (AS.), s/he has visited him (Ziarah). The holy Prophet (S.A.W.A), Hazrat Zahra (S.A.), Imam Ali (A.S.) and the rest of infallible Imams are present no matter they are alive or dead; They have knowledge and are aware of this world.
