786-110 Imam al Mahdi (a.s) and the concept of the saviour is not a creed confined to Muslims only. All religions, whether divine or not, and many thinkers for e.g Einstein speaks of a unified global government being the only hope from global destruction, and so on, in essence all of these through different names, beliefs and philosophies believe in the unified and the global government of Imam Mahdi. Unfortunately, many have continuously painted a violent and rough picture of Al Mahdi. In their distorted views, they believe that he will establish his govt n spread his rule through the sword by offense and shedding blood of his enemies. Imam Mahdi resembles his grandfather Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.w) whos the Quran describes, Thus it is due to mercy of Allah that you dealt with them gently.. He will indeed persue the path of his honorablee and grandfather, not an inch away from it. He will treat the unebelievers with utter goodness, let alone the believers. In essence, Imam Mahdi will rise to establis the pillars of justice, which is natural and innate reality to human being. Beware, amongst the manners that Imam Mahdi will have is to bee very gentle and merciful with all people especially thee poor. At the same time he will be seriious and firm with his workers and officials. Despite the fact that the people during his rule will all be blessed with economic, social and political comfort, he will emulate his grandfathr Imam Ali (a.s) in observing routh clothes and food such as hard bread. In the meantime, while Imam is absent, we all have a great responsiblity that rests on our shoulders. There are many times where Holy Prophet and Imams in these times have given us the responsibility to wait and prepare. Unfortunately many take these tradition with a passive attitude. Imagin that a very prominent or important figure such as a Prophet, a king, a president, a leader etc.. is planning to visit ur company. Obv you will be waiting for this figure. But how exactly will you wait?? Just sitbehind your desk, support your head by ur arms and simply wait? Ofcourse what is expected is that onee would carefully prepare the company. This means that first th place must bee very clean and tidy, Proper welcome arrangements. You will have spent endless hours preparing to present somthing at the meeting. Necessary charts, Powerpoint slides projections, overviews etc... This is active waiting... We must prepare ourselves such that when Imam Al Mahdi reappears, we hav e nothing to worry about. In order to prepare ourselves and wait actively just as the Prophet (saww) has instructed us, we must first develop ourselves. On must be keen on observing and act upon piety to be immune and protected from the traps of devil. Try acting upon Humblenss for it is fundamental to develop ones inner self. Sincerity is most important since its thee foundation on which everything is built. Staying away from arrogance for it is the first ever sin committed. Imam Mahdi is has so much love and compassion for his followers. He never neglects his followers, nor does he ever forget their mention. Every monday and thursday Imam Mahdi examines our deeds. If he comes a across a good deed he smiles and become pleased, but if he comes across a bad sinful deed, his heart aches, tears flow from his eyes. Every day Imam lives the tragedy of his grandfather Imam Ali and Fatima (s.a) and Hussain (a.s) and Zainab and Zain ul Abideen in Karbala, and he is pained by the heartrending events that befell them. We ask the Almighty to allow us to be prepared and selected for his enlightened revolution. Ameen ya Rab al Alamen.
