The very first
individual of human species created on this old earth was Adam
(PBUH), the starter of this human race. In other words, Allah -the
Compassionate and Merciful- first created a Hojjat and Proof, a
Representative and Caliph of Allah, before creating the rest of human
race on earth, so that His people would never be without an
Allah-Chosen Infallible Proof to follow. This has been the
unchangeable Sunnah of the Merciful Allah; the human race on earth
has never been and will never be deprived of a Divinely Chosen Guide
and Hojjat of Allah.
Allah -Glory be to He-
based upon His Encompassing Wisdom, Benevolence, Knowledge, Mercy,
Compassion and …, has Willed to create certain individuals with
Divinely bestowed capacities to receive Knowledge and Power to be
Infallible -those who do not lie, cheat, deceive, seek this world,
make mistakes, misguide and …-, to lead human race in this world in
the best and most perfect Allah-Specified manner and therefore to
smoothly and pleasantly guide humankind toward achievement of true
success and ideal beauty Here, and Everlasting bliss and Eternal
Salvation in the Hereafter. Ah! Truly, who is more Benevolent and
knowledgeable, wiser and kinder than Allah?! But from the beginning,
certain malevolent and selfish human beings -led by Eblis- distorted
the facts and deceived human through seemingly attractive
propositions, and therefore separated human race from the Hojjats of
Allah.
One very deceiving,
dangerous and satanic proposition has always been that human can lead
his own life and society, and needs not the Leadership of Hojjats of
Allah. Eblis started this way of thinking when he refused to follow
the Hojjat of Allah, Hadrat Adam (PBUH). And from then on, Eblis has
been inculcating his followers with this very deceiving idea. History
has witnessed that all Prophets of Allah (PBUT) were faced with
enmities, and then the Successorship of their Allah Chosen Successors
(PBUT) were usurped, and many of them were martyred; these have all
been Shaitaan's schemes to separate humankind from the Straight
Path to Eternal Salvation which is only achieved through the
obedience of the kind and loving Hojjats of Allah; remember, this has
been Eblis' promise where he told Allah:
Qur'an
7:16 … I will certainly
lie in wait for them in Thy Straight
Path.
And remember, the
Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP), in many occasions, including in the
Ghadir Sermon, has said:
"O' people! I am
the Straight Path of Allah
that He has commanded you to follow, and such after me also is Ali,
and then my offspring from his loins, the Imams who guide with Truth
and turn (people) to it.”
And remember after the
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP), when the Allah-Bestowed Successorship
Right of Ali (PBUH) -which was to save humankind- was usurped, i.e.
when Eblis through his followers tried once again to block the
Straight Path of Allah, as
he had done after previous Prophets (PBUT), this is what the Lady
Fatemah (PBUH) said in her Ayaadat Sermon:
"… Woe unto
them! they snatched it (Successorship of the Prophet) away from the
foundations of the Messenger-ship, fundamentals of the
Prophethood and Guidance, away from the place of descent of
“Rooh-Ol-Amin” and away from he who is aware of every thing in
this world and the Hereafter!
… Swear
by Allah, (had they accepted Ali's leadership), whenever they would
have deviated from the clear Path
and from acceptance of the apparent Reasons, surely he (Ali) would
have returned them to the Path,
and supported and carried them on it, and directed
them easily and smoothly, in a
way that the carrier would not be damaged, and the guide would not be
tired, and the traveler would not be harmed; he
(Ali) would have directed them to the pure and limpid fountainhead,
overflowing with fresh waters, which had no impurity;
he (Ali)would have quenched their thirst; he (Ali) would have
benevolently, secretly or openly, guided them; while he (Ali) would
never favor himself with the worldly things with any personal gain
and pleasure, his only goal from obtaining the world would have been,
quenching the thirst of the thirsty, and feeding the hungry; thus,
the pious would have been distinguished from the worldly people, and
the honest from the dishonest.
'And
if the people of the towns had believed and became pious (guarded
against evil), We would certainly have opened up for them blessings
from the heavens and the earth, but they rejected, so We overtook
them for what they had earned.'[Qur'an
7:96]
… Behold!
Pay attention and listen, in your
life times you shall see (dreadful) wonders!
… swear by my own
existence, it (future, …) has conceived; so wait, until its
fruit comes about ; then milk full buckets of fresh blood and fatal
poison; on that time, the dealers of untruth shall suffer; and
the ones who come to follow shall know the evil which their
forefathers have established; so be happy with your world
(now), but prepare your hearts for calamities, beware of sharp
swords (against you), and assaults of tyrant enemies, and
overwhelming and lasting confusions and chaos, and atrocity of
oppressors who shall plunder your belongings and harvest you all! …"
Surely history verifies
that humankind, for the most part, has turned his back to the
Divinely Ordained Leadership of Infallible Ones (PBUT), i.e. away
from the Straight Path, and as
the direct result has been and is experiencing much dreadful
wonders, confusions, chaos, oppression, wars, calamities, injustice,
dishonesty, and … .
And today, Eblis is
still keeping his promise and is 'certainly lying and waiting for
humankind in Allah's Straight Path';
let us not forget that today's Straight Path
is Hadrat Mahdi (PBUH). Eblis has been instilling satanic ideas in
minds and hearts of mankind that the Appearance of Imam Mahdi (PBUH)
is either a lie or it is not going to happen any time soon! In this
manner, Eblis is surely keeping humankind away from the only
Remaining Infallible Imam, away from the
Straight Path which
leads to the pure and limpid fountainhead,
overflowing with fresh waters, which has no impurity …!
Today
that humankind is experiencing and observing so much chaos and …,
has the duty to truly Anticipate the Emergence of the Last Infallible
Imam (PBUH), as we are commanded:
"Expect
the Amr (Matter of Emergence and …)
of your Saaheb (lord)
in your nights and your days … .
Alas!
How neglectful, we all have been! Have we truly believed that our
true Anticipation can draw the time of Emergence closer? Have we
truly believed that Allah has Promised that He corrects his Amr in
just one night if He Wills? Have we truly believed that the Glorious
Moment of Appearance could be very very close? …?
We
in this site: kindfather.com have been trying to discuss the many
aspects of this vital issue in different writings such as the more
recent articles: "Justice-oid",
"Golden
Key", "Melody
of last heartbeats" and … . One thing is for sure, our
lack of true steadfastness, belief, anticipation and … is
prolonging the worldwide chaos, spiritual and physical injustice, and
… .
Let us not forget that a
true Believer always feels the PRESENCE of the Imam (PBUH) in
his/her heart even in Occultation, and therefore always implores
Allah to remove all hardships, including the extreme hardship of
Occultation, because of HIS BLESSED PRESENCE; and in addition,
he/she sees the Emergence very near, right around the corner, and
thus Anticipates and prays for APPEARANCE day and night; as
he/she recites in the Ahd Supplication:
"O
Allah! Remove this sorrow from this nation with his PRESENCE,
and hasten for us his APPEARANCE; surely they consider
it to be distant while we consider it to be near."
