By: Jassim M. HussainIt is indeed an old idea in Imamite history that one Imam from the progeny of the Prophet would go into hiding to prepare for the day when he would rise again under the title al-Qa’im al-Mahdi and fill the world with justice. The concealment (al-Ghayba) was considered a sign of the true al-Qa’im al-Mahdiand both before and after the occultation of the Twelfth Imam in 260/874. Many Shi’ite writers collected ...

The same is true about those who are waiting for Imam Mahdi to come. Those who do not know him, like pagans and ...

“When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to ...
Allah’s mercy is infinite. None else is more gracious than the Almighty to His creatures. Even the vast love of a mother for her child is just a minor ray of endless love which the Creator has for His creatures.

He made man the most balanced and granted ...

(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 ...

One reason for this great loss is that people do not know the Imam properly and miss the real meaning of respecting him.
