KNOWING THE PERIOD OF

REAPPEARANCE OF IMAM IS RELATIVELY

We should be attentive to this point that the splendid period of reappearance of the leader of the time is so great that we don't obtained the ability to describe the justice in it and what was written in this book is just an uncompleted splendid in the period of reappearance of the awaiting Imam.

How is it possible for people who has brought occultation into existence and people who has not witness the greatness of reappearance period or the sweetness in it to describe the splendid day of reappearance and how will it occur?

Base on this, our knowledge about the rank of Imam of the time (May our souls be sacrifice for him) is relatively likewise the relativeness in knowing the astonishment during the period of reappearance.

Hence we are not in luminous period of reappearance and we have not witness the occurrence of that splendid day we shall not be able to describe and explain how the day is going to be, but with all these we can benefit from the important point from the explanation given by the descendant of the flag bearer of revelation (Peace be upon them) in that respect till our mind is able to recall the pleasant auspicious day in order to remain in glad and happiness.

As we've said earlier, it is not possible for us to have the awareness and knowing the period of reappearance and its nature because a person who is in the prison during the period of occultation who has not tasted the sweetness in reappearance and has also not envisage its luminosity, how will he be able with closed eyes to envisage the brightness in the period of reappearance of the awaiting leader?! How will he be able to describe and define the brightness and sweetness in it to others?

So long we are not delivered from the prison of occultation and have not perceived the period of reappearance of the awaiting leader we will not be able to define the great splendid day, the day which knowledge, awareness, justice and ability will take over the entire world. We should have the certainty that one who has not witness the splendid day will completely not be able to give an information regards the sweetness and attractiveness in it.

If you encountered with any surprising and new issue in this book, don't view it with negatively because what you have seen in this book is just little out of the immense occurrence during the period of reappearance of the holy Imam.

If our reports concerning the auspicious day and the ability of the people during the period of reappearance of the awaiting leader astonished you, you should be aware that what we have mentioned is just little among the signs of reality during the period of reappearance of the awaiting Imam because it is not possible for us to fully describe that period. Just create a little forbearance of your calling and you should be aware that all we have explained regards the reappearance day of full splendid is only the limit of our deduction if not the phoenix nest is long!

I said all good possessions are your assets; the heavenly Sun is like an atom under your shadow.

It is not possible to speak base on mistake during his time; and anything we envisage are your pillar.

In establishing this issue the above statement is being ornamented with the narration of the inheritor of knowledge of the former and later, Imam Baqir (Peace be upon him) from Bihar al-Anwar.

قلت لأبي جعفر علیه السلام: إنما نصف (صاحب) هذا الأمر بالصفة التي ليس بها أحد من الناس.

 فقال : لا والله؛ لايكون ذلك أبداً حتى يكون هو الذي يحتج عليكم بذلك ويدعوكم إليه.

بيان: قوله بالصفة التي ليس بها أحد، أي نصف دولة القائم وخروجه على وجه لايشبه شيئاً من الدول.

فقال علیه السلام: لايمكنكم معرفته كما هي حتى تروه....

"I said to the father of Ja'afar (Peace be upon him) verily we described the master of the divine government with such that no one possessed it.

He said: no by Allah, not as you have said, until he will be making proves against you and call you to it.

Late Allamah Majlisi (May Allah have mercy on him) when he was explaining this narration with such description that no one possessed it" said: i.e. we described the nation of the master and his coming out in a way that it will not be like any nation, then Imam Baqir (Peace be upon him) said: you will not be able to know its nature until you witness it…..[1]

Base on this, no matter how our idea and thought regards the period of reappearance of the leader of the time and how the splendid time shall occur, yet we shall not be able to know the development and perfection of that day.

Verily the future of the world shall be so bright and luminous that we don't possess the ability to envisage it, how esteem is the atmosphere that our thought is weak to perceive it. With all these we should all be of the thinking of the coming of that luminous day because all pure and morally humanbeing are waiting for that luminous and auspicious day.

We should block the pace within us and them and we should struggle in the same way they struggle because the state of waiting for Imam is not only for those who has possessed best way of thought and idea rather waiting for the holy Imam is the best struggle and it is the best act with virtue.

قال رسول الله صلی الله علیه وآله: أفضل جهاد أمتي انتظار الفرج.

The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him and his family) said: "The best struggle for my nation is anticipating for the relief of the leader of the time"[2].

ويقول الإمام الجواد علیه السلام : أفضل أعمال شيعتنا انتظار الفرج.

Imam Jawad (Peace be upon him) also said: "the best act of our shi'a (followers) is anticipating for the relif of the leader of the time"[3]

This is the value of the day of delivery according to the perspective of the descendant of the flag bearer of revelation (Peace be upon them).
