“saya -e- zuljalal

Imam
Use meem-e-hey-meem-daal kehte hain”
Brethren in Islam and Eman!
“Among those whom we created there are some who give true guidance and act
justly.“
The word
“They do justice with truth“
Umdatul Mufassereen (grand exegetical writer) Allama khazin Baghadi writes:
“In the verse (Quranic) there is proof upon this that till the resurrection day any period will not remain empty of such a person who will establish truth, act upon truth and guide towards
truth.“
“In our view point it is correct in this way that we believe the existence in each period and era of a Masoom necessary – who possesses the status of Hujjat-e-khuda (proof of Allah) over His creatures. In this manner a beacon of light and guidance remain maintained in an ordinary storm of zalalat (ignorance/darkness/error)”.
(Tafseer Faslul khitab, writer-syedul ulema)
The Quranic verse:
“(Remember) the day of (judgment) when we shall call every people with their
Imam”
and Hadees:
“One who dies without knowing the Imam of his time, dies a death of ignorance.” are evident on
it.
“kar lo Haasil pehle irfan-e-Imam
mot gar chaho Jahalat ki na ho
mil naheen saktee Jannat Jisko yaan
ma’arifat awwal imamat ki na ho”
(peot-Akhtar Amrohi)
(If you want your death not be of ignorance then get the knowledge of Imam because one cannot achieve heaven who has no knowledge of ‘First Imamate’ here).
In Arabic language ‘Imam’ means guide, leader and chief thats why one who leads in offering prayer is also said ‘Imam’. But according to shia school of thought that personality is called Imam who is being appointed by Allah for niyabat and khilafat
(vicegerency) of prophet because the vicegerency of prophet of Allah is in fact the vicegerency of Allah in the earth. As the preacher of deen-o-shariat (prophet & Apostle) comes with the command of Allah similarly one who come to his place – the protector of deen-o-shariat (faith and divine laws) – the Imam – comes with His command. The only difference is this that prophet and Apostle are appointed directly with the command of Allah while Imam and vicegerent is appointed with the command of Allah through Apostle and prophet. The Quranic verse
“Balligh
”is evident.
The praise worthy qualities with which Apostle and prophet is adorned – Imam and vicegerent must be bedecked with the same noble and laudable traits otherwise Haq-e-niyabat-o-khilafat (the right of
vicegerency) could not be accomplished completely.
For this it is made necessary for every one -man, woman, old, and young, strong, weak to recognize his/her Imam. Otherwise his death will be of ignorance.
“One who dies without knowing the Imam of his time dies a death of
ignorance.“
Hence it is necessary for every prophet to leave his vicegerent and successor with the command of Allah so that he protect the Ahkaam-e-shariat (the prescription of divine law) as well as keep it save from going to the extremes, distortion and tampering. So he is to be innocent of each and every inside and outside sin as it is necessary for prophet and Apostle. The Quranic verse:
“Verily Allah wishes to keep away the impurities from you ‘Ahle Bayt’ and keep you purified as is the right of
purity”
is evident upon this.
If Imam and khalifa (vicegerent) is Ghair Masoom (not innocent of sins) there will remain the possibility of doubt and probability of error and mistake in his orders and commands. Then who will tell this that where and in which order there occurred a mistake and which decree is correct and right. In this way all orders of
‘Ghair Masoom’ will be characterized “doubtful” and the carrying out of doubtful orders will also be doubtful and uncertain.
For this reason the Creator of the universe has never left man without Imam. He says in His Holy Book:
“Does man think that he will be left without chief so that he do what he wants according to his nafs and wishes”?
A saying of Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S) goes:
“If there would not left anyone in the world save two men then one of them would be Imam and other Mamoom (who follows)”
(Hadiqa tush shia, compiled by – Muqaddas Ardbeli)
That’s why when Holy Prophet (peace of Allah be upon him & his progeny) discharged/performed
Hajj-e-Aakhir (the last pilgrimage), reached in the plain of Ghadeer-e-Khum, Gabriel Ameen descended with the verse:
“O Apostle, proclaim what is revealed to you from your Lord; if you do not, you will not have conveyed His message. Allah will protect you from the mischief of all
men.“
The said verse was revealed about Ameeral Momineen (the commander of faithful) Hazrat Ali ibne Ali ibi Talib
(A.S). Then the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HP) at the place of Ghadeer-e-khum proclaimed holding the hand of Ali
(A.S):
“Ali (A.S) is mola (master) of all those, of whom I am master.“
(mustadrak Hakim, kitab al khasais muhaddis nisayee, sawaiq-e-mukarriqa ibne Hajer
makkie, Rozatul Ahbab muhaddis Jamala uddin, Tafseer durrr-e-mansoor sayooti, Tafseer Fathul Qadeer Allama
shokani, Tafseer Fathul Bayan Allama siddique Hassan khan, Umdatul Qari, sharah sahee Bukhri Allama
Ainie, Tafseer Ghara’aib ul Quran Allam Neshapuri, Hilyatul Awliya Hafiz Abu
naeem, Tafseer Hafiz ibne marduwiya, seeratul Hilya, masnad Imam Ahmed bin Hambel etc.)
And the meaning of ‘Mola’ is ‘chief’.
And when the Imam, the vicegerent, the protector of deen-o-shariat (religion & divine laws) was appointed, Ibne marduwiya in his Tafseer and Hafiz Abu naeem in Hilyatul Awliya narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed khudri that the following verse revealed:
“This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed my favor to you. I have chosen Islam to be your
faith.“
Then one after the other, mean After Ali came Imam Hassan, after him Imam
Hussain, after him Ali ibnul Hussain, after him Muhammad ibne Ali, after him Jafer ibne Muhammad, after him Moosa ibne
Jafar, after him Ali ibne Moosa ar Raza, after him Muhammad bin Ali Al Jawwad, after him Ali ibnil Muhammad Al
Haadi, after him Hassan bin al Askari and after him Meem-Hey-Meen-Daal bin al Hassan al Mehdi are Aaimmah Barhaq (the true leaders/guides).
Because there exists ‘nass’ of preceding Imam on the next Imam.
Therefore a hadees of Holy Prophet (PBUH & HP) goes:
“My son Hussain (A.S) is Imam, son of Imam, brother of Imam and the father of nine Imams – ninth of them is ‘Qa’em’ and distinguished of nine
Imams“.
It becomes known that Imam are twelve – 1st is Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (AS) and the last Hazrat Mehdi
(A.S) – (91 Hadees).
There would be a need of register for this. We put up the list of only some
Ahadees:
Imams are twelve and the last is Mehdi (A.S) – (94 hadees)
Imam are twelve, nine of them will be from the progeny of Imam Hussain (A.S) and ninth is Qa’em – (107
hadees)
Mhedi (A.S) is from the progeny of Holy Prophet – (389 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) is from the offspring of Ali (A.S) – (204 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) is from the descendants of Fatima (A.S) – (192 hadess)
Mehdi (A.S) is from the children of Hussain (A.S) – (185)
Mehdi (A.S) is in the ninth descent of Hussain – (148 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) is from the progeny of Imam Zainul Abedeen (A.S) – (185 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) is from the children of Imam Baqir (A.S) – (103 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) is in the 6th generation of Imam Jafar (A.S) (99 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) is from the descendants of Imam Moosa-e-Kazim (A.S) – (101 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) is in the descent of Imam Moosa-e-Kazim (A.S) – (198 hadees)
Mehdi is from the offspring of Imam Raza (A.S) – (195 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) is in the third descent of Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S) – (90 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) is the son of Imam Hassan Askari (A.S) (145 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S)’s father name is Hassan (A.S) – (148 hadees)
Mehdi (A.S) has the same name and same appellation as of Holy Prophet (PBUH & HP) – (147
hadees)
(The above mentioned Aahadees have been inserted in the book ‘Aftaab-e-Adalat by Ayatullah ibrahimi Ameeni from the book
“Muntakheb ul Asar”-compiled by Ayatullah saafi)
Belief in Imam Mehdi (A.S)’s appearance is sign of momin (faithful)
“Imam Mehdi (A.S)’s appearance and dominion is sure. He will fill the earth with fairness and justice as it is filled with destruction and
oppression“.
At present the flag of monotheism is fluttering in the one-fourth ¼ of entire humanity and mankind. There is rule of Tauheed (monotheism), Risalat (prophet hood), and
wilayat. Blessings of Allah have been invoked on Muhammad & Aal-e-Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon them) in the mornings and evenings.
But also there is abundance of oppression, tyranny, repression and barbarism every where; colonial powers, its stooges Hindus and Zionists along with its protagonist U.S. is considering deen-o-shariat “a danger”; want to avenge following the incident of New York and Washington; senior Bush, ten years ago, in the name of Iraq’s invasion in Kuwait destroyed Iraq – perished the people who are still crying with the pains, given by it but it (U.S.) is not leaving them even now and has fixed there its paws with strength. Now Junior Bush is launching attacks on gashed Afghanis in the pretext of Osama and saying that it wants to eliminate terrorism.
We uttered for several times that evil cannot be wiped out with evil – likewise oppression and terrorism could not be eradicated with oppression and terrorism respectively rather terrorism, evil and oppression could be wiped out with well-intention, good and justice respectively. But the colonial powers which are an embodiment of oppression and terrorism for what it would establish
‘adl’ (justice)???
That’s why entire human world including Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan and especially Pakistan – basic ideology of which is Islam – the Islam having roots in Adl-o-Insaaf (justice and equity), is a target of the sovereign of the world of oppressor United States. So Muslim Ummah is duty bound to save itself from every evil; step towards each good; prayer
(dua) is the weapon of Muslim and faithful (momin) so pray for the appearance of
Imam-e-Zamana (A.S) – the same Imam Mehdi (A.S) is the last hope of the universe and the whole world is waiting for him
(A.S). When Imam will come religion/faith of Allah Almighty the sublime will overpower the entire universe. The Quranic verse:
“Allah is He who sent His Apostle with guidance and true faith so that this true faith be overpowered all faiths even though the polytheists dislike
it”
is crystal evidence upon this.
“O Allah be for your wali Hujjat ibne Hassan, Your blessing be for him and his holy ancestors, in this time and in every time, patron, protector, guide, helper, leader, guardian until give him dwelling in your land and keep continue prospering him for a long
period” (Ameen)
The world will be filled with oppression and tyranny Imam-e-Zamana (A.S) will fill it with justice and fairness; oppression, tyranny, repression, barbarism and terrorism will be eradicated for ever; there will be peace, harmony, tranquility, justice in the whole world; flag of justice and equity will be fluttered; such a great revolution will come which will be the completion of Mohammedan Revolution; the whole world will be made acquainted with the true concept of liberation, freedom, salvation, comfort, knowledge, wisdom, piety, righteousness, knowledge of Allah. In this way the purpose of Holy Prophet’s besat will be completed.
We, on this holy and auspicious occasion, vow to keep continue our struggle for the establishment of justice and equity as well as for the destruction of every sort of terrorism, oppression and barbarism. And will not let any harm to be caused to the message of
Tauheed, Rislalat and Wilayat because
“Truth Ultimately prevails”
“Hamd-e-parwardegar Karte hain
zikr yeh Bar Bar Karte Hain
jo hain ham naam-e-mustafa ba khuda
us ka ham intezar karte hain”
