In the noble prayer of Nudba [that we read] on Friday mornings, it reads:

«أَینَ الطَّالِبُ بِذُحُولِ الاَنْبِیاءِ وَاَبناءِ الاَنْبِیاءِ اَینَ الطَّالِبُ بِدَمِ المَقْتُولِ بِکربَلاءِ

Where is that revenger [we are looking forward to], who will take the wrongdoers’ right against the prophets and their households (pbu th)?

Where is the avenger of [his lonely ancestor; Imam Ḥusayn (pbuh)] the martyr in The Battle of Karbalā۱?

The Link between Imam Ḥusayn (pbuh) and Imam Zaman (mgehr).

Of the resemblances between these two noble [Imams], are having been given the titles “Gharīb” [not truly known], “Ṭarīd” [is in Major Occultation] and Sharīd [doesn’t stay in one place].

The pilgrimage of Imam Ḥusayn (pbuh) is recommended on Mid Sha’ban rituals.

[The above sentence] may be a warning to “Absenteeism era people”, [to recall]

There is an unbreakable bond between Āshūrā and looking forward to the Emergence

It has been many years since Imam Ḥusayn (pbuh)’s lonesome appeal.

But from moment to moment, its reflection has been improved in the history.

 This is a cry which with utmost firmness, motivates and rises the liberals in the world till he [The Savior: Imam Mahdī (mgehr)] emerges.

He will come and the calls of Sayyid of martyrs [Imam Ḥusayn (pbuh)], all the prophets (pbu th) and the blessed ones.

The mourners are of three types:

The first type: They are the ones who attend and don’t leave Mourning and commemorating ceremonies,

but they will commit sins if they are tempted.

[Well] they have an incomplete understanding of Imam Ḥusayn (pbuh)’s uprising.

The second type: They are pure hearts and mourn sincerely, but unfortunately don’t know the mourning aims well.

And again denial!!

️إذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ [مطففین/۱۳]

When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, “Tales of the ancients!” (Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-MUTAFFIFIN, verse 13)

Imam Sādiq (pbuh) stated:

The above verse shows they [disbelievers’] denied Imam Qa`em (mgehr)

Is Dajjāl a person or a movement?

The Martyr Sayyid Muḥammad Ṣadr wrote in his valuable book:

“Dajjāl is a specified culture, civilization and ideology which is the enemy of Islam.”

He believed Western materialistic culture and civilization, is the very Dajjāl in narrations.

And he introduced Dajjāl, as a symbol and allusion of anti- material and anti-Islamic movements.

The nation who looks forward to the Emergence ≠ The Living Dead

Anybody can do and inject whatever they want, to an unconscious, senseless and numb body who has is lying in a corner.

But they cannot do whatever they want, to a fresh, alive, intelligent, animated active person.

The same is with a nation.

The sudden emergence [of Imam Mahdī (mgehr)]

According to some narrations “Imam Zaman (mgehr)’s emergence will occur at once; when it is not expected”.

And [to others] “his emergence will occur overnight”.

The savior in Hinduism

In Hinduism there is a promised savior named “Kaliki” who will emerge, before dooms day.

On a white horse, Kalki (Kulika or Kalki-king) will emerge like a meteor while has a sword in his hand.

[He emerges, to eradicate evil and cruelty and establish justice and virtue 

Iron

Do the ones who look forward to sunrise stay in darkness, at night?

[Or], do the ones who look forward to arriving spring, endure chill in winter?

Providing light at night and warmth in the winter, both are to welcome the sun and spring.
