A SIGNED PROCLAMATION FROM IMAM-E-ASR (A.T.F.S.)
Though at present we are living away from the dominions of the oppressors and till the unjust rule the world, the Almighty has considered it better for us and our Shias that I stay away from them.

Leaders have come and gone, but impenitent man in his ignorance and futility still keeps seeking one who will bring victory over oppression. Sadly in many instances the justice sought has been driven by fallible conceptions and convictions; even, at times, ...
(3) THE DESTINATION OF THE SUN
This is our journey which we began towards Allah with the intention of Hijrat. We have taken a draught from the spring of Marefat and attached ourselves with the Imams (a.s.). The final destination of the sun is before us.
As far as ghaibat is concerned, it is due to our ownself. The only remedy is repentance. Repentance means turning towards Allah with the sincerity of intention to express our respect and our ...
I would like first to quote Baruch de Spinoza who said something which may help to shed some light in resolving the problems of this question:Peace is not a status of non-war, but rather a virtue, a faculty, a disposition for welfare, trust and justice.207He has actually analyzed that peace is not a simple and independent phenomenon or an easy task. The great revolution of Al-Mahdi (as) requires many preceding events. The Russian revolution was ...
By: Baqir Shareef al-QurashiImam Ali al-Hadi (a.s.) lived most of his life in Surra Man Ra'a (Samarra'). The Abbasid government imposed on him house arrest. He was like a prisoner. The policemen and investigators of the Abbasids surrounded his house watching all his movements and everyone associating with him or carrying money to him. He suffered the severest political pressure during the reign of al-Mutawakkil, the Abbasid tyrant, who saved no ...

Dr. Fahimi: Mr. Hoshyar! Our friends know it. But let me tell you that I follow the Sunni school of thought. Hence the positive evaluation that you have of the Shia hadith-reports I do not share. In all likelihood extremist Shi's for whatever reasons after having accepted the narratives about the Mahdiism must have fabricated traditions in support of their views and ascribed them to the Prophet. The evidence for my contention is that the ...

Adopted from the book: "Mahdaviyat in Hadith"There is a famous tradition from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) recorded by both - the Shias and the Ahle Sunnah traditionalists-'One who dies without recognizing the Imam of his time, dies the death of ignorance.'This means that even if a person accepts and conforms to all the Islamic beliefs and puts in practice all the edicts, but dies without recognizing the Imam of his time, his death will be on ...

The root of this sequence is the absence of God’s Love in our lives and in society. Whenever God is absent from a society, this society sooner or later falls into decay and, were it not for God’s mercy, all human efforts would be lost, misdirected as they are toward mundane glory and material wealth alone and without God’s blessing: “unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.”(Ps.127:1)God is Love and lies invisibly ...
