Moonlight

Hujjat al-Islam Ghara’ati:
When the Earth [people] backs off the sun [imam Mahdi], will become night and when it faces, it will become day and light will encompass everywhere. Also the occultation time of Imam Mahdi (hgr) is like night!

At night, the sun light shines to the moon and moon uses it; so moon’s light is due to the sun. The late Imam Khomeini1 was like a moonlight in the occultation night…

Prayer Beads

A narrator quotes, ” I asked Imam Sadiq (pbuh) about the [certain] indications of (Imam Mahdi’s (hgr)) reappearance that if it will take long?” And he (pbuh) stated: “No, they will be consecutive like a regular strings[ of prayer beads].”

Powerhouse

Hujjat al-Islam Ghara’ati:
Imam Mahdi (hgr) is the middleman of God’s grace.

As a little lamp can’t directly adjoin to the powerhouse and needs a transistor, we also can’t directly receive grace from glorious God and need a middleman who is “Imam”.

Airport

Landing an airplane needs a safe and healthy airport. For landing a little airplane, even a 200 meters airstrip is enough;
But for a large one, it needs a kilometers airstrip to land in security.
Also the substructure of such a kind of airport should be strong, to tolerate hundreds tons of pressure!

Danger of Poison Infiltration

“[Before the Emergence], people witness from velleity! Judge on cruelty! the peolpe damn their fathers and envy their brothers! The Copartner do guile in transactions and troth abate! Adultery break out! The Men apparel themselves in womanish dresses! The scarf as a sign of modesty, glom on to women!

Honeybee

Amir al-Mu’minin[ Imam Ali(pbuh)] stated to his followers:
“Be among people as like as honeybee among birds
Every bird sees honeybee as an unable and ineffective animal! But if they know what is hidden inside it, they will never act like this again.
Have apparently associations with people, but avoid copying their thinking and action.
Actually, every one will gainb whatever s/ he has gained. And in doomsday, s/ he will be with the one who s/he has been interested in.

Barbed Tree Branch, Qetad Lover Birds

There is an occultation of Sahib al-Amr; Imam Mahdi (hgr)) while anyone wants to grasp his religion, it seems like going to shave the thorns of barbed tree branch Qetad, by his hands.
The servants of God[ Humans] must refuge to God and grasp God’s religion .

Autumn Clouds

According to one of Imam Ali’s (pbuh) narrative, “Succorers of Imam Mahdi (hgr) will congregate like autumn clouds. [1]
Do you know the reason of this parable?!

This parable shows tree point leastwise:
۱- Acceleration of congregating and its beneficial effect [like autumn clouds which are agile]
۲- Being resourceful and not buncombe [like autumn clouds that are pluvial]

Breaking glass v.s. breaking Earthenware

Imam sadiq( pbuh)’s warning about the sieve of apocalypse:Swear to God, you all will doubtlessly break down like glass. Well, glass may return to its first status (It’s amendable through melting and reproducing).
