no one knows the difficulties of the Imam of our Time except Allah!
Now the person who on the first day of his birth,
the light of his forehead covered the throne of Allah with light,
now after a thousand or so years,
with the pains he has felt (over what is happening with humanity and the word of God and so forth),...
the light of his forehead covered the throne of Allah with light,
now after a thousand or so years,
with the pains he has felt (over what is happening with humanity and the word of God and so forth),
with all those difficulties which he has faced...
We simply cannot comprehend the matter at hand.
Every sin that is committed by a person
will lacerate his heart!
Every problem and difficulty that arises for any Shi`ah
will disrupt his soul.
It is for this reason that during this time (of occultation)
no one knows the difficulties of the Imam of our Time except Allah!
Think about it.
You go to Karbala and
your eyes will fall on that hexagonal tomb (of Imam Husayn),
what do you feel (at that moment)?!
But he is always in front of that grave and
and he sees the torn pieces of that body.
(Now think) how his time passes!
He will come to Mashhad.
When he looks and he sees Imam Reda,
he sighs like a person bitten by a (poisonous) snake!
When he goes near the grave of Siddiqah Kubrah (the daughter of the Prophet),
he sees her battered body!
Now, for the one whose light, from the first day
illuminated all of the firmaments,
after all these calamities and all that worship,
where is the radiance of his soul?!
To summarized the issue (and the answer to the question of where his radiance is consider this).
God has a verse in the Qur`an:
"And the earth shall glow with the light of its Lord."
This verse has been interpreted as referring to the appearance of the Imam of our Time.
This is the light of Imam Zaman!
If the reality of a person is as such then,
his rank and status is beyond our comprehension.
This is the verse and this is its explanation.
God states,
the earth shall glow with the light of its Lord.
But for the explanation of this verse He states that
the light of the Lord which will illuminate the entire Earth
is the Master of our Era and Time.
