ATTAINING SCIENCE THROUGH
THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY IMAM
(May our souls be sacrifice for him)

In order to be acquainted with the luminous time of reappearance of the holy Imam, the period of light and brightness, the period of knowledge and vision, the period of struggle and making effort, the period of the entire goods and grace, we should take a look and think over the entire world and the wonderful things that exist in the world of creation; all that is as a result of the greatness of the Creator of this world and His representatives who are the evidence for the creation of the entire existence.

Presently be attentive to these questions:

In the world is there any point at the elevated mountain top that was draw to the sky till the vast deserts down to the deepest point of the valley, and from the surface of the sea including the shoreless till the deepest ocean of the world a wonderful creatures that exist there?

What are the wonderful animals that exist there?

Is it possible to know the mysteries of the world of creation? How is it possible for us to be acquainted with secretes behind all these creatures? 

Apart from those that witness creation, is there other person who is able to enjoy this awareness?

Is it possible during the luminous day of reappearance of Imam for anyone apart from the great proof of Allah (May our souls be sacrifice for him) who has the capability to answer every question?!

Surely during the splendid period of reappearance of Imam (May Almighty Allah hasten his relief) he shall make the world to be with evidence, reason and enormous of science and awareness and the entire inhabitant worldwide shall be made to enjoy science, awareness, knowledge and vision likewise evidence and reasoning.

نقل الإمام الحسن المجتبى علیه السلام عن أبيه أميرالمؤمنين علیه السلام في خصوص هذا الموضوع المهم : «يملأ الأرض عدلاً وقسطاً وبرهاناً».

In this respect Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (Peace be upon him) has reported from his father, the commander of ther faithful saying: "He shall fill the earth with justice, equity and evidence"[1]

 That day people of the world shall cover one hundred years journey in a few period meanwhile points which cannot be learned in ones life will be obtained within some words.

In order to make an illustration to the spread of science and knowledge during the period of awareness and vision we bring in the following question:

If person wanted to make research that is very vast and wide and wanted to be really acquainted with all its points, and he is prevented from benefiting from a qualified teacher including the books written in that field and you didn't enjoy other apparatus which can render assistance to you, then how long and how many years shall this research consume, how much failed experience shall he witness and at the end he may attain little out of his demand?! 

But if this very person has enjoyed an experience and skillful teacher who is well acquainted in all nooks and corner of that research, he will be able in a very short period of time to attain every thing he needed and he shall also be acquainted with all he needed in his research.

In another expression science and knowledge can be acquired in two ways:

1- Learning from a teacher who is fully acquainted and fully aware of that field.

2- If a teacher or book e.t.c. doesn't exist in that field, there is need for research and investigation and there must be struggle, persistence and trial in the research so that possibly the needed result can be obtained.

It is obvious that there are a lot of differences in acquiring science and knowledge which is through ways of research and ways of learning, meanwhile we will expound the major two differences:

1- Rapidity in acquiring science when benefited from an experience teacher without need for researches and spending a lot of time.

2- An exact result from science and knowledge when we study from an experienced teacher without need for lengthy time and not to be afflicted with futile result.
