WHAT IS MEANT BY TREMENDOUS ISSUE?

Up till now this question is thrown that does the new issue mentioned in this narration same as the tremendous issue mentioned in the other narration; if the meaning of (new issue and tremendous issue) are one, then what is meant by new issue and tremendous issue which will be the purpose for the rising of the great remainder of Allah's proof (May our souls be sacrifice for him)?

It is obvious that those that are acquainted with the secret of the answer to this question and from the narration of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them) that nothing was found in this respect like a package except signs and points.

The meaning and the interpretation is not known to any one except the exceptional companions that are acquainted with the deeper meaning of the sayings of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them) including their ironies and illustration of their statements.

Those are the people who know the un-ultered points and symbols from the sayings of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them).

Imam al-Sadiq (Peace be upon him) in a narration said:

«حديث تدريه خير من ألف ترويه، ولا يكون الرجل منكم فقيهاً حتّى يعرف معاريض كلامنا، وإنّ الكلمة من كلامنا لتنصرف على سبعين وجهاً لنا من جميعها المخرج».

"One of our narration which you understand is better than one thousand narrations you narrated without its understanding, none of you can be a jurist except he is acquainted with the ironies of our statement, verily one word from our statement is up to seventy different meanings by which we have way out from every one of it"[1]

In the school of thought of Ahlulbayt (Peace be upon them) those type of people i.e. those that possessed the ability to perceive and understand the different meaning of statements of these great men are called jurists. Then the jurists are those that understand the ironies from the saying of these great men.

Due to the heaviness of the tremendous issue, it is possible for the weak pen to be drawn to another discussions and in this respect, the weak pen has made the weak finger to be firm, and we return back to expound the previous issues.

Here that the explanation of the tremendous issue is out of the responsibility of the writer of these lines and before we give a summary we shall mention an exhilarating point:

Blessed is for those peoples who answer the divine call of the great remainder of Allah's proof by the side of the holy house of God (Ka'abah) and they stood in following the orders of the merciful Imam.

Blessed is for those that understand the luminous period of reappearance of Imam and give up all religion that is destroyed and shall be under the banner of Imam al-Mahdi (May Almighty Allah hasten his relief) and witness the divine justly government of that great man.

The people during that time will be under the government of the leader of the time (May our souls be sacrifice for him) with construction of good existence, lively mind and perfection of knowledge will ascend towards the esteem heaven of science and culture and it will reach the sign and mystery of creation, meanwhile they will be acquainted with the tremendous issue.

People of that time shall understand every costly mineral like gold, silver, diamond …..[2] But during the period of occultation no one is aware of the greatness of his existence.

That time People shall understand that why Almighty Allah has named Himself as the best of all creators after the creation of human being, meanwhile they shall know the great power and ability that was concealed in their existence. But during the gloomy period of occultation people are in darkness and they were not aware of the splendid light from the holy household of the holy prophet (Peace be upon them) upon their mind, the household who are the reflection of Allah's sanctuary.

Knowledge and wisdom of People that time who are the curing friends of Imam al-Mahdi (May our souls be sacrifice for him) shall be perfected; they shall be bestowed with spiritual mind and also the watcher over the divine world.

Presently in order for the question concerning the tremendous issue not to be left unanswered we said: the tremendous issue is a vital and important point in the chapter of the vicegerent of the holy household (Peace be upon them) and this tremendous issue will be obvious during the reappearance period of the holy Imam.

Knowing the symbol of vicegerent and the great mystery of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them) during the gloomy period of occultation is not possible for the people because during the dark period of occultation the level of perception, understanding, the limit of knowledge and human's insight is limited and they don't possess the ability of perceiving and knowing the tremendous issues of the vicegerent. In this respect it is not possible to have complete knowledge of the tremendous issues of vicegerent and it is also not possible to know or to understand the important and vital issues that has connection with the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them) till the day when the great remainder of Allah's proof (May our souls be sacrifice for him) will reappear together with his curing friend by which human's intellect shall be perfected likewise human brain shall obtain the ability to receive great spiritual issues.

The knowledge that time shall be perfected and the wisdom shall be rescued from disorganization; the honourable leader of the time (May Almighty Allah hasten his relief) shall expound the esteem science to the people and he shall also certify the correct Qur'an.

The following statement was narrated from Mohammad bn Umar bn al-Hasan:

«... إنّ أمر آل محمّد صلی الله علیه وآله أمر جسيم مقنع لا يستطاع ذكره، ولو قد قام قائمنا لتكلّم به وصدّقه القرآن».

…….Verily the issue of the family of Mohammad (Peace be upon them) is as great veiled issue one is not capable of mentioning, by the time when our riser (Qa'imana) shall rise, he will talk about it and the holy Qur'an will testify it.[3]

It is very clear with this explanation that the issue of vicegerent and its wisdom is not possible to be expounded to the general people because the issue is very great, but during the gloomy period of occultation even though the oppressors who are the causes of all the obscurities and darkness, those who hindered every one from perfection shall be wiped out and with the help of the reappearance of the leader of the time (May Almighty Allah hasten his relief) every one's knowledge and understanding shall be perfected and that time Almighty Allah shall permit the leader of the time (May our souls be sacrifice for him) to manifest the truth.

It is very possible that as at the time when the remainder of Allah's proof (May Almighty Allah hasten his relief) shall make his speech, truth and reality will be manifested and no doubt or indecisiveness shall remain before the people.

The great Imam in one of his letter has said:

«إذا أذن الله لنا في القول ظهر الحق، واضمحلّ الباطل وانحسر عنكم».

"If Allah has permitted us to make speech, the truth shall be manifested and falsehood will be annihilated and every thing shall be obvious"[4].
