The appearance of the Imam Mahdi (as) is Allah'sfavour for the
oppressed and the weak, and is a means of their coming to power and
gaining the promised divine succession of the world. Holy Qur'an says
"We have decided to grant favour to the suppressed ones by appointing
them leaders and heirs of the earth", (Al-Quran: Chapteral-Qasas,
28:5). The appearance of Imam Mahdi (as) means the realization of the
promise Allah (SWT) made to the righteous in Holy Qur'an. "Verily we
have written in the Psalms (zaboor) after the Torah had been
revealed:My righteous servants shall inherit the earth." (Al-Quran:
Chapter al-Anbia, 21:105)
This auspicious occasion of birth anniversary of Imam Mahdi (atfs)
surely revives our hopes for a better future ahead when Imam Mahdi
(as) reappears from the occultation. Additionally, it is a special
reminder to those suffering under oppression and tyranny that
resistance and resilience in the face of injustice will only serve
them in the long-haul. The belief in Imam Mahdi(as) is a manifestation
forglobal community that the battle between truth and falsehood will
culminate in favour of forces of truth once the Promised one returns.
The continuation of the occultation of Imam Mahdi (as) is meant to
preserve the vigilance and advance the cause ofjustice. It is
important that as part of our waiting of Imam Mahdi (as), we
persistently oppose all bullying powers (global, domestic,secular,
religious or in any other form or shape),and remain steadfast during
adversarial times. The global dominance of few arrogant and oppressive
powers has yielded two billion starved people across theglobe,
millions displaced due to warmongering policies and majority of
nations subservient. In such circumstances, the silver lining is the
belief in the eventual global just governance of the ultimate saviour.
It convinces human beings that the world status quomust be denounced
and wait for a turnabout in the living conditions of the humanity at
large. Hence, it is imperative and incumbent upon the well-wishers and
followers of Imam Mahdi (as) to lay the practical groundwork necessary
for his return in addition to the prayers.
