Moharram and Safar are very sad month. It is said that the Prophet Mohammad,

his beloved daughter Fatima, the Ahl-Ol-Bait, All Divine Prophets,

chosen ones and angels are deeply grieved in these two month. How can

any one who has a heart be in different towards the darkest events of

history. But in the mist of darkness, the light of God always shines

through. On Safar the seventh, year 128 A.H. a brilliant star of

the magnificent Galaxy of Imamat and walaayat was born. Imam Musa

Kaazem (PBUH) was living in a period when the Abbaasi (Caliphs

Rulers) were getting more and more nervous about Mohammad's progeny.

Imam Musa Kaazem (PBUH) was prisoned for many years in the dark

dungeon of Baghdad. For the devoted shi'ah of that time -who knew the

exalted position of (Imam) as the light of God and their reason for

living, those who loved their kind Imam more than any thing else in

the world- It was extremely difficult to bear the heart-breaking

separation. On the one hand, the Shi'ah felt like orphans without

their loving father and on the other hand, knowing that their Kind

Father was going through sad and hard times, broke their hearts into

pieces and their eyes into tears. Today you and we are separated from our Imam. While this separation is the

hardest on the Imam himself. The mental and physical hardships which

humankind is going through -due to the fact that human has not

actually accepted God's Lordship in his life- breaks the Imam's

heart. Most of us may sincerely say that we believe in God and we may

truly feel in our hearts the we love Him, but this love may have not

become manifest in our way of living. Imam Mahdy (PBUH) more than any

one else wants to appear and -with the assistance of the awaken human

kind- solve humanity's problems under the light of God. But one of

the reasons for prolongation of his Disappearance is that we have

forsaken him. We have not yet realized how magnificent and beautiful

a global peaceful society under the Lordship of God -who is the Most

Benevolent and Compassionate would be! Therefore, we have not truly

sought the last infallible Imam with all our hearts, minds and deeds.
