If the people understood, the night of mid-Shabaan would have seen the whole nation drowniَng (in its greatness).
The issue of Imam-e-Zamaan leaves the mind astonished.
If the people understood, the night of mid-Shabaan would have seen the whole nation drowning (in its greatness).
Never in history did such an occurrence take place.
When the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) introduces him, he uses these words:...
If the people understood, the night of mid-Shabaan would have seen the whole nation drowning (in its greatness).
Never in history did such an occurrence take place.
When the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) introduces him, he uses these words:
"Al-Mahdi is from amongst my children".
Then come two sentences that dazzle the mind:
"His name is my name, and his title is my title".
The name and the title of the Seal of the Prophets (P.B.U.H.) is not permissible for anyone else.
It is an exclusive privilige of Hujjat ibn Al-Hasan (Imam-e-Zamaan).
His name is the name of the Seal of the Prophets (P.B.U.H.), and his title is the title of the Seal of the Prophets (P.B.U.H.).
The sentence that baffles the likes of Sheikh Ansari is this:
"(He) bears the most resemblance to me in terms of physical appearance and moral character"
All who have a soul, also possess a body,
The best in body and the best in soul is the first person of existence,
and that person is the Seal of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
Then he, himself, remarks: "(He) bears the most resemblance (to me)…"
bearing the most resemblance to me from amongst all of mankind,
from the standpoint of bodily appearance, and also from the standpoint of spiritual perfection,
(no one) bears more resemblance to me than Mahdi.
This is why a description of Imam-e-Zamaan is beyond imagination.
The people put up lights on the night of mid-Shabaan, but who is the true owner of this night?
Sheikh Toosi narrates a prayers for the night of mid-Shabaan in the book "Misbah-ul-Mutahajjid":
(This prayer) astonishes the mind of every philosopher and jurisprudent.
It describes Imam-e-Zamaan using just two phrases:
"Your light bears all-encompassing radiance, and your luminescence is clear and manifest (like that of the full moon)"
Imam-e-Zamaan is the light of God, but a light that has all-encompassing radiance,
Imam-e-Zamaan is the luminescence of God, but a luminescence that is clear and manifest.
This is the utterance of God's chosen saint, an utterance narrated by Sheikh-ut-Taifa Sheikh Toosi in the book "Misbah-ul-Mutahajjid"
This is Imam-e-Zamaan.
