The
eighth star of the glorious sky of Imamat -Imam Reza (PBUH)-
started to shine on earth, on the eleventh of Dhyl-Qa'dah year 153 A.H., in the
city of Medina. Imam Reza (PBUH) was taken against his will, to
Khoraasaan by Ma'moon, the Abbasi Calif of the time.
In the presence of Imam Reza
(PBUH) -in Khoraasaan- the title âQaa'emâ was mentioned, the
Imam rose on his feet and placed his hand on his head and said:
O'Allah! Hasten his Appearance and facilitate his Emergence.
In commemoration of Imam
Reza's (PBUH) birth anniversary, let us take one green moment and
ponder about this profound action of Imam Reza; he was the great
great grandfather of Mahdy (PBUH), yet he anticipated with all his
heart and soul, the Appearance of love's spirit and soul. How can
you and we -living under the dark and stormy sky of Disappearance-
not stare at the glorious horizon and anticipate the colorful
rainbow of honesty, Chastity, piety, purity, humanity, prosperity
and equity to appear on the blue sky of human dreams?!
