The holy Prophet(SAW):The world will not come to an end until a man from my family (ahl al-bayt), who will be called al-Mahdi, emerges to rule upon my community.(Bihar al-anwar,V51,P75)

The Secret Birth of Hadhrat Mahdi (a.s.)

Shaikh Mufid, a distinguished Shia scholar, also wrote in al-Irshad: "When Imam Hasan al-'Askari (as), passed away, the caliph of that time, pursued his son because the Imamiyyah shia’s belief was famous and was spread about that the Shias were awaiting His Eminence."

Mu'tadid, one of the tyrant Abbasid caliphs who ruled from 279 to 289 A.H., decided all at once to destroy the entire family of Imam al-Askari (as) when he heard that more than twenty years had passed since the birth of the son of Imam Hasan al-Askari (as), and that he was still living in spite of the attempts of the preceding caliph to kill him. One of Mu'tadid's officers said: "Mu'tadid has ordered me and two other persons, each of us to mount a horse and to proceed to Samarra in full speed without even stopping for prayer. He gave us the address of Imam al-Askari (as) and instructed us to enter his house without his permission and to bring him the head of whoever we find there." As a matter of fact, they were unaware that the same power which had protected the Imam from the former caliphs would give him protection from his evil, because:

"Allah disdains (nothing) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse" (IX 32).

The Reappearance of the Great Reformer of the world – A fundamental religious belief

 

The belief that at the end of the time a universal reformer will arise and provide success to mankind and save people from their afflictions and calamities, is one of the most ancient and fundamental beliefs, that all the heavenly religious have given glad tidings of this and all the history of mankind has recorded it as a sanctified and respectful belief.
The man who has witnessed the worst of the disasters, battles and turmoil caused by the inhuman people and surrounded the whole mankind. The man who is trampled upon by tyrants and deprived by greedy and selfish elements from the blessings that should have been available to all in the world. Such a man is in anticipation of a reformer who would transform the flow of history and establish the Kingdom of truth. There is no doubt that he shall be that same Mahdi of the Progeny of Muhammad. The world shall be graced by his knowledge, justice, planning and good diplomacy. The Prophet of Islam (as), who never spoke without revelation, and his Infallible Successors who had always been associated with piety and god fearingness have explained about that great reformer, that is the Qaim of the Progeny of Muhammad (as). Here it would be appropriate that we mention some examples of the advent of the universal reformer and his justice and truth.

Head of Islamic Centre of Hamburg met Grand Ayatollah Saafi Golpayegani: Pro-Islamic wave has taken over the world

Grand Ayatollah Saafi Golpayegani in a meeting held on Thursday with the head of Islamic centre of Hamburg, Germany said:” With the grace of God today Islam has a lot of supporters throughout the world”.
Pointing towards the anti Islamic activities of west and the enemies of Islam he said: In spite of different mischievous and deceptive acts by the anti Islamic elements, today the interest of world has grown remarkably towards the Islam and a pro-Islamic wave has taken over the world.
Grand Ayatollah Saafi Golpayegani assumed this as the golden chance to spread the acquaintance of holy household of prophet and said: we should do optimum utilization of this opportunity by propagating the rich and comprehensive basis of Islam to this world, to quench the thirst of acquaintance of holy household of prophet.
He also said: in this span of time we can do a lot of work and no matter how much we work in this field of propagation of Islam is not enough but with lots of efforts and endeavor we will have to send the message of Islam to every corner of this world.

Scrutiny of the Fadak event review of legal norms of Islam

Question.16 concerning Fadak if the opponents object “according to the terms of judiciary norms, Fatimah’s (Peace be upon her) complainant wasn’t approved considering that commander of the faithful (Peace be upon him) in the case of the commander of the faithful Imam Ali’s (Peace be upon him) complainant regarding the armor because of absence of argument in the court who himself empowered didn’t consider his status neither the Isma (infallibility)” how can give an answer?
Answer. Concerning deforcement of Fadak from Fatimah Al–Zahra (Peace be upon her) what was issued by Abu Bakr and his collaborators was clearly against the legal judiciary norms and explicitly their demarche (method) was unusual and suspected.
It was an absolute political issue based on Abu Bakr and his follower’s aims. A group who against Allah’s will and his prophet’s (Peace be upon him) messages specially in hadiths (narrations) of Thaqalayn and the clear prophecy of Ghadir (Hadith of the pond of Khumm) intended to change the course of Caliphate (dominion of a caliph) and Imamah (spiritual and political leadership of the Ummah) which was decided by divine Wahi (Revelation) to the course of their ambitions.
However, no one can change the course of Imamah and Caliphate of Allah’s prophet (Peace be upon him) because Allah’s order it’s already decided and it will remain till Imam Mehdi’s arrival and Islam’s perpetuity.
This group aimed to change the appearance flow and implement their intentions just as possess ones legal property by a usurper wouldn’t disorder the right of legal property and the usurped fortune in property of the proprietor and the usurped will remain and the usurpers is responsible and guarantor and the change in the course of Imamah and Caliphate also wouldn’t take the legal right of Wilayat (Leadership) from its actual owners.
The issue of larceny, is the matter of leadership and the appearance presidency of this actual legal (religious) status which the lovers of this world and social climbers was looking forward to and the only thing they adored and the righteous people and the actual owners of this status sees it as the Commander of the faithful (Peace be upon him) described in as a respond to Ibn ‘u Abbas.
According to trusty resources, this social climbing group – since prophet’s (Peace be upon him) time got busy with conspiracy and subversion – perverted course of the Islamic politic so that it led to the worst systems and the most violent regimens, the most brutal and irreligious and jovial rulers, ruled the Muslims communities.

This group which in last days of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) were building their aboveboard position, and in Yum Al Khamis (the day of Thursday) when the Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked for a pen and a paper to write them what would never led them to obliquity and in the duty of following the army of Osameh they, against Allah and his Prophet’s will, wear the swords of opposition while the body of the holy Prophet, the mercy to the worlds was still on the ground, they gathered in Saqifah bani Sa’ida and laid the first brick to that tilted building . (Refer to a corrupted system.)

Regarding that event and political conspiracy and those repressive measures and threats they implement and Umar Ibnu Al Khatab with intensity and great violence in Madina’s street’s with force took swear allegiance to Abu Bakr.
Among the first decisions and perhaps before any move was confiscation the properties of the only child of prophet (Peace be upon him) lady of the paradise and the lady of worlds (Peace be upon her) because they knew that this lady of this world and hereafter world’s sacrifice would charity the revenues of this estate for Allah’s sake to the poor Muslims and those who are in need. Such a status naturally causes the influence of prophet’s family in to people’s hearts. Therefor they decided to take away their estate and properties and stop them from helping the people.
There was no benefit and interest but overtaking the power by the party of Umar and Abu Bakr and Abu Ubaida and …., and grabbing Fadak. It was an unusual and under pressured situation and there were many guile happening which nobody could talk against or if they did nobody heeded.
For instance let’s consider that Fadak wasn’t holy Fatimah’s (Peace be upon her) property

 

Fatimah’s cry at the death, for Imam Ali (Peace be upon them)

“Narrated at the death of Fatimah (Peace be upon her (, she cried. Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (Peace be upon him) asked her what makes you cry? She said: I cry for what happens for you after my death. He told her; don’t cry, I swear by Allah (God) that it’s petty for me in God’s essence. “
Every young spouse who because of an accident sets in a crucial situation, and sense the effects and symptoms of the death in itself, is natural to cry, to fall tears, and revel the inner interactions.

Holy Fatimah (Peace be upon her) also because of the horrible accidents and many oppressions of the that times tyrants, those who strived for power and oppressive government agents was set to a situation which she certainly believed that her time was up and she will meet death, and in those critical moments, she fell tears, and perhaps some people might consider the cause of her cry was the shortness of her life and not having the opportunity to joy life and being buried in the youth and justify like such matters but when the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (Peace be upon him) her caring and sympathetic husband ask her the reason of her cry, Fatimah (Peace be upon her) answers: the cause of my cry is you and what will happen to after my death.

And by this sentence, it will be clear that the holy Fatimah (Peace be upon her), in her last moments didn’t consider (think of) herself, and the pain which was cause by those who played the cruel political games and by that led her to the path of death rather she thought of what’s coming and when she’s gone, the greatest defender of Imam Ali (Peace be upon him) was lost and the enemy would be without any kind of disturbing and what will it be in those conditions?! Fatimah (Peace be upon her), contemplated that when she’s gone eventually the oppressors and impostors will have the freehand and her oppressed husband Imam Ali (Peace be upon him) will be totally bounded then what would the unbeliever enemy do to her broken hearted and scathing husband?!

The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (Peace be upon him), who believed his beloved wife’s prediction and knew that it was absolute reality and to pour water on her inner flames, said: don’t cry, and do not worry me, tribulations are for God’s sake and that’s why they will be petty and tolerable.

 

Grand Ayatollah Saafi Gulpaygani's warning and advice to King Abdul Allah

In the name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful
The religion is advice (sincerity)
Mr. Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz
Asalamo Alikom Wa Rahmat o Allah


According to your order, not address you as king. I addressee you in this sententious message:
Brother! Although you are not more than an individual human among six billion humans, and like others you enumerates as an individual, and not like saints or scholars or inventors or a servant to humanity you are not that respected, and like you said: you are not more that Abdul Allah (servant to God),as like others who are servants to God – noticing that self-consciousness in this subject (being God’s servant) is an honor - but what gives you importance and respect and what makes six billion humans pay attention to you and your behavior, deeds, politics, ,decisions and gives you this special position is the management of the prophecy land ( The Holy Mekka and Medina) which you conceder yourself to be as a manger and responsible of them.
The Holy Medina and the Holy Mekka “The first house to be set up for mankind”, Abraham's status, places and statuses, hereditary culture all of this supports the authentic history.
I, like one and half billion Muslims would like to tell you, that your responsibilities toward this subject are enormous, and very huge. One and half billion of the world population require that as Ka’bah is for everyone you have to be for everyone and every Muslim. Everyone pray to Ka’bah’s direction and prostrate, worship and prays toward The Sacred Mosque.
Those places are everyone’s history, dignity, religion and identity. That land is not an Arabic land; it’s everyone’s land, yea an Islamic country. All Islamic sects considering that place as the holiest place and therefor all Muslims consider that place, belong to them. That government is not an Arabic regime, neither the council of Persian Gulf. It’s not like Qatar or UAE or other bigger countries. It’s not a region for foreign and American (USA) influence. It’s the place of The Two Holy Mosques. It shouldn’t participate as a council of The Persian Gulf, but it should consider the whole Islamic world.


It’s painful, for the aware and awake Muslims that certain religious policies established in The Two Holy Mosques and that it treats the vast Muslim world, with those crude and Stone Age policies and it’s a shame that Islamic countries and the ruler of The Two Holy Mosques is influenced by the west and America (USA).
It’s unfortunate that the Muslims revolution (uprising) against American (USA) domination and influence causes the ruler of The Two Holy Mosque’s anger and people like Ali Abdul Allah Saleh have more than thirty years without any legitimacy ruled Yemen, despite his affiliation to America (USA) is so known and clear, still he supports by you so that he massacres so many people and suppress the revolution which aims to return to Islam and Islamic independence.
It’s questionable for every Muslim that the rulers of The Two holy Mosques who should not make a distinction, yet in Bahrain supports subjugation, dictatorship, vice and Al Khalifa’s serve to the foreigners and send military forces there to massacre, children and elders, man and woman, in those peaceful demonstrations. No Muslim expects anything like this of the rulers of The Two Holy Mosques.
It seems that Mr. Abdul Allah have forgotten wherefrom he got his power, and legitimation yet he supports oppressor (tyrant) against the innocent.
We require that you understand the status of The Two Holy Mosques, and don’t involve in these inhuman and filthy actions, and know your status (position).
We require that you explain to the Muslim world, what legitimation does Al Khalifa have and what gives you the right to send your troops to suppress the Muslims “الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر”, ” Bid What Is Right And Forbid What Is Wrong “
We require that you restore your authenticity and to defend the humanity, immediately leave Bahrain and apologies to Muslim of Bahrain and to all Muslims of the world, and let them decide their destiny otherwise ”ان ربّك لبالمرصاد” , “Indeed your lord is in ambush” soon or later the divine conquest will destroy the oppressor (unjust).

The Secret to Prophet's Success

One of the most important and considerable issues is the secrets to the great prophet of Islam’s progress in those unfavorable environments and inappropriate conditions which led to discussions and studies by many great intellectuals and surprised many groups.

But then, because of his divine call, the great uphold considers to be given by the eternal essence of God (Allah) Almighty. The key to his success and progress is lenient with people and suavity with all classes of the society and this was the main efficiency and important matter that God Almighty ordered his prophet, to prepare him to the great uprising and unequal clash.

The Prophet himself has said:

"God ordered me to lenient with people as he ordered me to perform my obligations."

God in the holy Qur'an also sees the symbol to prophet's remarkable success and progress as mentioned and praise him as the following:

"Thus it is by Allah's mercy that thou art gentle to them. And hadst thou been rough, hard-hearted, they would certainly have dispersed from around thee."

In the first sentence of this verse, prophet's kindness and gentleness bases on the divine's mercy whereas God is merciful towards servants thus God set the prophet toward them such kind and gentle, and in the second part of the verse stipulates that if the prophet was a fierce, cruel, obdurate man people would scattered around him, and the purport of that were that Oh prophet! If you see people gather around you from every side and flies like a butterfly around your holy, luminous essence like a candle is because that you are the opposite of this kind of qualities. You're merciful and kind, suave and lenient with people and you are far away from violence and rudeness in society relations.

Yes! Mercy and justice and expressed kindness with people cause attraction of their hearts and on the other hand brutality and violence with people is an important factor in expelling the hearts and distance between human beings.

Narrated Anas Bin Malik:

I was with the Apostle of Allah (PBUH). The prophet had a cloak on his shoulders. The cloak was coarse. Suddenly an A'arabi (a nomadic Arab) caught hold of him and gave his cloak a violent tug making his neck red. He turned to him and the A'arabi said to him: Load these two camels of mine, for you do not give me anything from your property or from your father's property. Some silence then the Prophet (PBUH) said to him:

"The property is that of Allah the Almighty and I am his slave" then he added "Should I ask you to pay me back for what you did to me on Judgment Day." The A'arabi said: No. Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) said: Why?? The A'arabi replied: because you don’t

Ideological deviational directions during the age of Imam Reza (peace be upon him)

Innocent Imams have been constantly engaged in confronting the false an unfaithful group of sufiism, and this group ostentated and pretended against these honourables.
Regarding the matter of succession, the sufies told Imam Reza (peace be upon him) : "Mamun has delegated you this status, and you are the most worthy of it. But a person with such a precedence as you, is required to wear wooly and coarse clothes [not such clothes you have worn]".
Imam Reza (peace be upon him) replied:
"woe is to you! People want their Imam and leader to establish justice and fairness;to tell truth everywhere; to order justly; and to fulfil his promised.[God says]:Say, O'our messenger Muhammad: who has prohibited the adornments of God, which he has brought forth for His servants, and the good things of provisions?"
Then he said:
"The prophet Joseph(yousuf) wore silken clothes that were weaved of gold, and he learned on the pillows of pharaohs."
Yes! They protested against Imam Reza(peace be upon him) and were finding fault with him regarding not wearing wooly clothes. Imam Reza (peace be upon him) respond clear-headly and explained that such protests are irregular and irrational negativism and causing difficultly; the things God, the prophet, and people expect and want Imam include; to have proper performance, to order justly and to propagate justice in the society not to wear wooly clothes. Then through mentioning a verse of Holy Quran. He expressed and argued that:"You are unaware of the Quran and you are strange to this Holy book". Mean while he mentioned the story of the truthful Joseph in order to express that they are unaware of Quran and are ignorant of the history and the manner of the prophets.
The great Imam (peace be upon him) denigrated them on the proper occation, and he always notified the invalidity of their religion and even the necessity of renouncing from them.
Bazanti and Ismail ben Baziee have narrated from Imam Reza that:
"Everyone that hear the name of sufiism and he do not deny them verbally and heartily , he is not regarded our nation; but denying them is regarded as fighting against the infidels besides the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Imam Reza (peace be upon him) stated that:
"No one speaks about sufiism unless because of cheating, deceit, or depravity, or because of foolishness and ignorance; but if someone call himself as sufi because of dissimulation and to save himself, he has not committed a sin."
In another narration, Imam has stated:
"In order to prove that such act is commited as a result of dissimulation, one must retrain himself to the name of sufi, and must not believe in any of their void and false ideas."
These are some of the narration from Imam Reza(peace be upon him) regarding the sufiism, and in the second narration, the motivation of following sufiism is regarded as cheating, or depravity or ignorance.
In the first narration, the duty of their followers is described as denying the sufiism and renouncing from them.
