The people of Kufah, who were experiencing many injustices and unfairnesses, wrote thousands of letters to Imam Hossain (PBUH), invited and asked him to come to Kufah and they promised to be with him and support him. One of the reasons that Imam Hossain(PBUH) left Medina for Mecca and then later for Kufah was those invitations. Many things happened on the way and the Imam was never allowed to enter the city of Kufah and he was stopped in the land of Karbala. A significant issue is that the people who had invited Imam Hossain(PBUH), once the going got tough and they felt that their worldly interests were in danger, they just forgot the invitations which they had sent to the Imam; they chose their transient worldly positions, wealth,... over the everlasting felicity of being with the one chosen by God, the All-Powerful God whom they had to -sooner or later- return to!

Talking is always easy but doing as we say is the difficult part. We should try hard, pray and allow God's light to shine in our hearts so that our doings may match our sincere sayings and thinkings. Next time that we pray for Mahdy's appearance, we need to keep in our minds that with our prayers, we are actually sending out invitations to Imam Mahdy (PBUH). May we realize the vital importance of living under the light of God and walking on the Right Path towards perfection and everlasting life and may our invitations to Imam Mahdy be firm and from the bottom of our hearts and may our promises to him be for better and worse and may Allah hasten his Appearance ... .
