Ever since the year 260 A.H. that Hadrat Mahdi (PBUH) has been in Occultation, sincere and devoted Believers, with tearful eyes and hopeful hearts, have been Anticipating his glorious and Promised Emergence, but many passed away brokenhearted without witnessing that which they had wholeheartedly anticipated.

What about them? Those who have been trying to sweep the dust of ignorance and disremembrance from the alleyways of human memory so that the sweet fragrance of Mahdi's (PBUH) remembrance may flow in human mind; those who have been trying to wash away the dirt of hopelessness from human heart so that the glory of love and hope may enliven human soul; those who have been trying to remove the dark clouds of doubt and skepticism from the horizon of human Belief so that the bright sun of certitude may enlighten human thought; …; those whose hearts finally stopped beating while their last heartbeat was chanting:

O' Allah! Surely, we present our pains and sorrows to Thee: lack of our Prophet -Thy Salawaat be upon him and his progeny-, and Occultation of our 'wali' -Thy Salaam be upon him-, and numerousness of our enemies, and fewness of our numbers, and severeness of trials and conspiracies against us, and vicissitudes of time upon us.

(Eftetaah Supplication)

While Allah has Promised to reward in many ways, those who have Believed and Anticipated sincerely, in the Hereafter, but He has also Promised:

Those Believers who have died while anticipating Hadrat Mahdi's (PBUH) Reappearance, will be brought back to life and will help him in the achievement of his goals. When the number of his supporters and helpers swells to ten thousand, he will announce his Movement.

(Kamaal-O-Ddin, p.378, H. 2; …)

O' Allah! We implore You in the Names of Mohammad and his Ahl-Ol-Bayt (May Your Salawaats be upon them), to hasten the Emergence of their beloved Mahdi (Your Salaam be upon him) … .
