PEOPLE DURING THE PERIOD OF REAPPEARANCE OF

THE HOLY IMAM ACCORDING TO THE MESSENGER OF GOD
(Peace be upon him and his family)

During that time people shall serve and worship one God and they shall be heedful of the luminous rank of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them) likewise they will obtain awareness and in this respect they shall enjoy their pure conduct and luminous feature.

The holy Prophet of God (Peace be upon him and his family) has explained and refered to the people during the period of reappearance of the holy Imam as Musk fragrant and luminous moon.

In a lengthy narration from Imam al-Jawad (Peace be upon him), among the grand fathers of Imam al-Mahdi quoting from the holy Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family) about the coming of he who will avenge for the holy family of Mohammad (Peace be upon them), in that narration the holy Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him and his family) said to Ubay bn ka'ab:

«... يخرج وجبرئيل عن يمنته وميكائيل عن يسرته، وسوف تذكرون ما أقول لكم ولو بعد حين، وأفوض أمري إلى الله عز وجل.

يا أبيّ؛ طوبى لمن لقيه، وطوبى لمن أحبّه، وطوبى لمن قال به، ينجّيهم من الهلكة. وبالأقرار بالله وبرسوله وبجميع الأئمّة، يفتح الله لهم الجنّة، مثلهم في الأرض كمثل المسك الذي يسطع ريحه فلا يتغيّر أبداً، ومثلهم في السماء كمثل القمر المنير الذي لا يطفأ نوره أبداً».

…. He will comes out while Jabra'il will be at his right side and Mikka'eel at his left side and soon you shall remember what I have said to you even after a while, I have entrusted all my affairs to Allah the Great and the Almighty.

O' Ubay; blessed be upon whoever meet him, blessed be upon who loves him and blessed be upon whoever make statement about him, he will rescue them from destruction; this is with the confession of Allah, His Prophet and the entire Imams. Allah will open the gates of paradise for them, their similitude in the earth is like musk fragrant which its aroma spread all over and never change, likewise their similitude in the heaven is like a luminous moon which its luminousness never extinguishes.[1]

The people's face during the period of reappearance of Imam shall be like luminous moon, amnesty will be grant to them before the divine One, they will possess the luminous light of Allah's cognizance in their heart and their signs will form radiants. They will be the observant of the divine world, how beautiful is their observance to this world!

Imam al-Jawad (Peace be upon him) has quoted from Imam al-Sadiq (Peace be upon him) that he said to Prophet Ilyas (Peace be upon him)[2]:

«فوددت أنّ عينيك تكون مع مهديّ هذه الأمّة، والملائكة بسيوف آل داود بين السماء والأرض، تعذب أرواح الكفرة من الأموات، وتلحق بهم أرواح أشباههم من الأحياء، ثم أخرج سيفاً، ثم قال: ها إنّ هذا منها».

"I hope your eyes are with al-Mahdi of this nation while the angels are between the heaven and the earth with the sword of the family of Prophet Da'ud, they punish the souls of the death among the unbeliever and the souls of the unbeliever among the living ones will join them, then I will bring out a sword and will said: here is one of them"[3]

How good is the observance upon the angel which shed the bloods of the unbelievers?
