"And we desired to show favor unto those who were oppressed in the earth, and to make them examples and to make them the inheritors" Sura 28, Verse 5. From a narration of Imam Mosa Alkhadim (peace be upon him): "Blessed are our followers who are grasping at our love during the disappearance of our last imam, observing loyalty to us and denying our enemies those are among us and we are among them, they are satisfied with us as their leaders - Imams - and we are satisfied with them as followers, blessed be to them. They are by Allah, with us in our level - in heaven". We congratulate the devotees worldwide in the happy anniversary of the birthday of Imam Mahdi (Peace be upon him) as we ask almighty creator to hasten his appearance so he can fill earth with justice as it is being filled with injustice and consider us to be among the his expectants The real expectance requires the devotee to fulfill two responsibilities: 1- The responsibility of the stage before the reappearance and that is by desire to depend on the legitimacy and straightness in belief, behavior and course of actions. This will show the honesty in expecting Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) who represent the truth and rightfulness.. 2- The preparation to the stage after the reappearance where the appearance of the Imam (peace be upon him) marks the beginning of a new responsibility that the devotees will fulfill during his time. This will include hardships, confrontations and sacrifices in the way of propagating the word of real Islam and true justice worldwide. It is a must for the devotees to be at the level of this critical stage so they will not miss the chance that many generations expected it for a long time. Finally, we pray to almighty creator to guide us to be among the devotees who are ready for Imam's command and firm in following his path. He is indeed all hearing, all responsive. The office of His eminence the Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Mohamed Saeed Alhakeem. |
