Friday Messages: Hopeful of the Truth, hopeless of all untruth

Blossomed, a white Fatemi Jasmine, in the garden of Heavens;


Appeared, a ray of Mohammadi hope, in the hearts of Believers.


Salaam be upon you, O' Ali son of Moosa, A-Rreza.


Imam Reda (PBUH) has said:


What is better than patience and anticipation for Faraj [the ultimate Relief on earth, the Appearance of Mahdi, the last of Mohammad's AhlulBayt -PBUT-]?! Have you not heard the Saying of Allah -Mighty and Majestic be He-: "and watch ye! For, I too am watching with you!" [Qur'an 11:93], and "Then anticipate ye! For, I too am with you of the anticipators!" [Qur'an 7:71]? Thus upon you [I exhort earnestly] patience! For, surely Faraj shall only come upon hopelessness! Certainly those before you, have been more patient than you.


(Kamaal-O-Ddeen, vol. 2, page 645; …)


It is upon us to really think and consider every thing happening around us. Are we truly anticipating the ultimate Faraj moment by moment, or do we believe some one else through a certain social or … system may be able to achieve True Justice before Faraj? Or has any society attained True Justice yet?


The Ever-Promised Faraj which Imam Reda (PBUH) is talking about is the spread of True Qur'anic Justice all over the planet earth; spiritual Justice as well as material Justice, in their true meanings of the words. Yes, when comes Faraj, no one will be hungry, homeless, deprived, poor and … no more, and by no means luxury is meant, rather wealth will be distributed fairly and thus every one shall have a decent opportunity to live and be thankful; the level of people's understanding will be raised so much that heart diseases such as jealousy, discrimination, greed, destructive love of power and unhealthy competition, and … shall depart from hearts and souls; loneliness, insecurity, inhumanity, crimes, lies, deceits and … will have no room in that humane system of life; Allah's Pleasedness and humankind's level of knowledge shall be so that sickness, disease, blindness, paralysis and … will be issues of the past; with the beautiful manifestation of humankind's reason for being, empty feelings of sadness, hopelessness, purposelessness and … will disappear from minds; correct management of resources will eradicate abnormal and unbalanced phenomena such as droughts, floods, pollution, and …. And these are only a few samples of the material Justice, as described in Qur'an and Ahadith, which shall encompass this planet, after the most blissful Emergence of the last beloved member of Mohammad's AhlulBayt (PBUT).


But way more important than any material Justice, Spiritual Justice shall also encompass this old earth. True Monotheism shall spread; the one and only Allah shall be worshipped by all; no one shall consider a Prophet or … as sons of God and of or derived from His Essence or Substance (Sobhaanallah) any more; people shall not believe that they are children of God, or a part of Him, like a drop or stream emanated from the ocean or a beam from the sun, finally returning to Him (Sobhaanallah), rather they will all understand that they are creations and servants of the one and only Allah with absolutely no similarity to Him; people will believe no more that they and Allah share their deeds and thus their wrongdoings and sins -a belief which attributes human oppression to Allah- (Sobhaanallah); the fear of Allah and reverential awe towards Him shall be balanced with the feeling of hope and love for Allah; the one and only Religion of Allah, Islam, based on the Shari'at of the very last and most exalted Prophet of Allah, Mohammad (PBUH&HP), under the leadership of Hadrat Mahdi (PBUH) will prevail; the Allah-Bestowed status and the realization of the magnificence and significance of the Welaayat (Wilayat) of the Prophet Mohammad and his AhlulBayt (PBUT) will be awaken in all souls; the pure teachings of Mohammad and his AhlulBayt (PBUT), i.e. the most exalted manifestation of the true teachings of all Prophets and their Allah-Chosen Successors (PBUT), which hearts and souls, the Fetrats, bear witness to, shall expand everywhere, and thus celestial peace shall encompass all existence; the Religion of Allah shall be purified from all philosophical, mystical and … human defined impurities; …; Allah will be obeyed in all aspects of lives; no more bars, dancing places, drinking, disgraceful performances on stages or screens, mind-destructing music and …; no more half naked men and women in streets and …; no more pride and shamelessness in confessing homose xuality and …; …; ALL AND ALL IT SHALL BE BEAUTIFUL


Yes, we are to come to this hopelessness, i.e. we are to realize and truly believe that such True Justice through which every thing will be at its rightful place according to Allah's specifications, is impossible to be attained by any one other than Hadrat Mahdi (PBUH), he who has been created for achieving this beautiful goal; yes, we are to detach our hopes from any other promise which may deviate us from the Truth, and meanwhile we must attach all our hopes to that beautiful future, and with this hope we must become the best we can be according to Allah's standards, after all, one who anticipates beauty tomorrow, must practice to be beautiful from today. We must exhort ourselves and each other earnestly to be PATIENT, to never compromise the Truth, and to anticipate, with hope, the manifestation of the TRUTH, and at the same time not to attach our hopes to any untruth.


How beautiful Allah -Mighty and Majestic be He- in Qur'an Surah Asr (103), after swearing by the Era of Appearance, has stated that only those Believers who enjoin each other to PATIENCE and TRUTH shall not lose:


In the name of the Compassionate, the Merciful Allah

Swear by the Asr [According to Imam Saadeq, the Asr refers to the Era and Age of Imam Mahdi's -PBUT- Appearance.)

Verily human is certainly in Loss,

except those who Believe and do Saalehaat and the Righteous deeds, and exhort each other to the TRUTH and exhort each other to PATIENCE.


O' the most Compassionate and Merciful of all those who have compassion and mercy! O' Allah! We implore You from the bottom of our broken and anticipating hearts in regard to Your beloved Mahdi (PBUH), in the same manner that Imam Reza (PBUH) has taught us:


O' Allah! Hasten his Faraj [Appearance …], and facilitate his Emergence.


AAMEEN.
