️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)
[Once] Abū Khālid al-Kābulī narrated from Imam al-Bāqir (pbuh): When Imam Qa`em (hgr) arises, he (hgr) goes everywhere and he (hgr) reaches Moor (which is located at Lower Yemen) There [Some people] inform him, ‘They murdered the governor whom you appointed [to rule] in Mecca!’ [So] Qa`em (hgr) returns to Mecca and just kills the murderers. […]
Imam Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated,
“As God tested [prophet] Moses (pbuh) `s companions by a stream, Qa’em (mgehr)’s companions will be tested [by something] too.”
Do you still remember the event of Imam Ṣādiq and the Khorāsāni man?!
Sometimes [they] ask if it is possible, that Imam Mahdī (mgehr) knows them but they do not know him?
The answer is yes
[As] It is stated in the Holy Qur`an, Prophet Joseph(pbuh) knew his brothers after about forty years of being thrown down to the well [by his brothers] till being given power[by the king of Egypt].
But they did not know him.
قالُوا رَبَّنَا أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ…[غافر/۱۱]
They will say: “Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life! ….). (Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-GHAFIR, verse 11)
About the interpretation of the above verse, Ali Ibn Ibrāhīm said, “
Imam al-Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated, ‘This verse is about Raj`a.’
[Once] a group of our friends (Shiites), Harith and I were sitting in presence of Imam Ṣādiq (pbuh);
talking [quietly] about the advent of the Truth Government[Imam Mahdī (mgehr)’s]
The Imam (pbuh) heard us and stated,
‘What are you talking about?’
اصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ [ص/۱۷] Have patience at what they say, and remember our servant David, the man of strength: for he ever turned (to Allah).( (Holy Qur`an, Surah Sad, verse 17) About above verse, Abū Baṣīr said: Imam al-Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated, ‘اِصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونmeans: […]
The above verse shows they [disbelievers’] denied Imam Qa`em (mgehr)
As they will say to him (mgehr),’We do not know you. And you are not of Fatima (pbuh)’s descendants.’
Just like what polytheists said to Prophet Muḥammad (pbuh&h)!
…. If they had been apart,We should certainly have punished the Unbelievers among them with a grievous Punishment.
(Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-FATH, verse 25)
This is God’s destiny that [sometimes] disbelievers and hypocrites carry the deposits1of believers in their loins.
Hence Imam Ali (pbuh) didn’t kill their fathers [ancestors], in order for those deposits to be born [afterward].
️وأُخْرَى تُحِبُّونَهَا نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فتح_قریب وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِين [صف/۱۳]
And another (favour will He bestow,) which ye do love,- help from Allah and a speedy victory. So give the Glad Tidings to the Believers. (Holy Qur`an, Surah AS-SAFF, verse 13)
Imam al-Bāqir (pbuh) stated:
By victory, it refers to the victory [Emergence] of Qa`em (mgehr) of Ale Muḥammad2 (pbu th) in the world.
‘Does God need to know guilty people by their marks, despite the fact that he created them?!’
I asked [again], ‘May I be thy ransomed! What is the meaning of the verse, then?’
The Imam (pbuh) stated, ‘When Imam Qa`em (mgehr) arises, God gives (grant) him the science of knowing [sinners by] their marks (so he knows them by their complexions and confronts them, then)”
……, and that they should not become like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors (Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-HADID, verse 16)
: Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion – the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace:….( Holy Qur`an, Surah Al-Noor, verse 55)
Once I went to Kūfah mosque
and saw Imam Ali (pbuh). He was writing something by his finger and had a smile on his lips.”
I asked, ‘O, Amir Al mu`minin2! What happened?’
The Imam (pbuh) stated:
I wonder when a person reads the following verse,
And We wished to be Gracious to those who were being depressed in the land, to make them leaders (in Faith) and make them heirs,….( Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-QASAS, verse 5)”
و جَعَلَها کلِمَةً باقیَةً فی عَقِبهِ لَعلَّهُم یَرجِعون [زُخرُف/۲۸]
And he left it as a Word to endure among those who came after him, that they may turn back (to Allah). (Holy Qur`an, Surah AZ-ZUKHRUF, verse 28)
و لَمِنَ ٱنتَصَرَ بَعدَ ظُلمِه فَأولئکَ ما عَلیهم مِن سَبیل.[شوری/۴۱]
But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame.
(Holy Qur`an, Surah ASH-SHURA, verse 41)
: Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in the heavens and on earth, and has made his bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, (both) seen and unseen? Yet there are among men those who dispute about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance, and without a Book to enlighten them! (Holy Qur`an, Surah LUQMAN, verse 20)
قالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُبتَليكُم بِنَهَرٍ فَمَن شَرِبَ مِنهُ فَلَيسَ مِنّي وَمَن لَم يَطعَمهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنّي إِلّا مَنِ اغتَرَفَ غُرفَةً بِيَدِهِ فَشَرِبوا مِنهُ إِلّا قَليلًا مِنهُم… [بقره/۲۴۹] Translation: …he said: “Allah will test you at the stream: if any drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not of […]
️أمَّنْ يُجِيبُ المضطر إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ [نمل/۶۲]
Or, Who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and Who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? :….( Holy Qur`an, Surah Al-Naml, verse 62)
[Once], Imam al-Baqir (pbuh) stated:
This verse is about our Qa`em (hgr);
when he arises he wears his turban,
[Once]Imam Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated:
By “We bestowed (in the past) Wisdom on LUQMAN”, God meant:
He granted knowledge and wisdom of his contemporary Imam.”
Once Imam Sadiq (pbuh) asked Abū Ḥanīfa,
“Tell me which cities God meant, when he stated,’…Travel therein, secure, by night and by day’?” [Surah SABA, Verse 18]
Abū Ḥanīfa answered, “I think it is between Mecca and Medina”
[There] the Imam stated their companions:
This is an example for Ale Muhammad1 (pbu th);
«بِئْرٍ مُعَطَّلَة» is a well which is lying idle and neglected!
And it refers to the Imam [Mahdi (hgr)] who is absent [occulted]
and we can`t take advantage of his knowledge light, till the Emergence time.
يوْمَ نَدْعُوا كُلَّ أُنَاسٍ بِإِمَامِهِمْ… – إسراء/۷۱ One day We shall call together all human beings with their (respective) Imams: those who are given their record in their right hand will read it (with pleasure), and they will not be dealt with unjustly in the least. (Holy Qur`an, sureh Al-Isra, verse 71) Imam Rīḍha […]
There is no doubt in “All are arisen in doomsday, whether they have been destroyed or not”.
So, when God states “Any population who have [been] destroyed” this doesn’t refer to the doomsday!”
But it means Raj`a ` time.”
“At the time of our Qa`em2 (hgr) `s arising, God summons a group of our Shias who carry their sword handles.
[And], when this news come to our Shias-who are alive at that time-they give good tidings to each other that,
‘Such and such people are gathered from their graves, and they accompany Imam Qa`em (hgr)
On the contrary, as soon as this news comes to our enemies they say,
This is an example for Ale Muhammad1 (pbu th);
«بِئْرٍ مُعَطَّلَة» is a well which is lying idle and neglected!
And it refers to the Imam [Mahdi (hgr)] who is absent [occulted]
and we can`t take advantage of his knowledge light, till the Emergence time
“At the time of our Qa`em2 (hgr) `s arising, God summons a group of our Shias who carry their sword handles.
أَتى أَمْرُ اللّهِ فَلاتَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ سُبْحانَهُ وَ تَعالى عَمّا یُشْرِکُونَ (Nahl, verse1)
(The command of Allah) is our command [too].”
It refers to the arising of us; Ahl al-Bayt1’s Qa`em (hgr). As God commanded not to haste for that …..
God supports him by three thousands armies of: Angels, believers, and scaring ones [like jennies to fear the enemies]”
هوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ ثُمَّ قَضَى أَجَلًا وَ أَجَلٌ مُسَمًّى عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ [انعام/۲]
He it is created you from clay, and then decreed a stated term (for you). And there is in His presence another determined term; yet ye doubt within yourselves! (The holy Quran, Surah AL-ANAAM, Verse 2)
