"Al-Mahdi is the peacock of the people of paradise."
First you must know the Imam of the times.
All of you, pay attention!
We hear (the words) 'Imam of the times',
but understanding the matter, understanding the greatness (of what 'Imam Zaman' means),
All of you, pay attention!
We hear (the words) 'Imam of the times',
but understanding the matter, understanding the greatness (of what 'Imam Zaman' means),
It is outside of the scope of the intellect of the entirety of human beings.
Shi`ah and Sunni have reported this narration.
The logic will be astonished.
The narrtion is this: The prophet (s) stated,
"The person about whom Allah has stated,
and (he) does not speak out of desire,
it is naught but revelation that is revealed to him.' (Sura Najm, Ayah 3-4)
That Hadith that has also been narrated by the Sunnis is this:
"Al-Mahdi is the peacock of the people of paradise."
To say it is easy,
but to understand it is of the utmost difficulty!
Paradise is the focal point of beauty.
The paradise in which
the face of Joseph (peace be upon him) shines like the moon of the fourteenth night (of the lunar calendar);
(in which there) is the appearence of Moses (peace be upon him), the son of Imran (peace be upon him);
the beauty of Jesus son of Mary;
(in which there) is the face of Abraham (peace be upon him), the friend of the merciful (God).
Despite all this, the peacock of paradise is the Imam of our time (al-Mahdi)!
How is his inner (self) if his outward characteristics are as such?
We spent our life speaking of the Imam of our time.
But where did we recognize him.
This issue is so important that the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) has said,
"On him are the cloak and garments of light."
Hujat ibn al-Hasan is covered with the garments and cloak of light.
Those clothing of light which
is lit from the rays of the illuminating Holy One.
In conclusion, the Imam of the time (Imam Zaman) is a jewel who is connected to,
"Allah is the light of the heavens and the Earth.
A likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp.
The lamp is in a glass.
The glass is as it were a brightly shining star,
lit from a blessed olive tree,
neither eastern nor western.
Whose oil (is so pure that) it would almost glow (of itself) without coming into contact with fire.
Light upon light.
The Imam of the time whose date of birth is mid-Shaban,
is such a gem.
Fortunate is he/she who
finds the (correct) path and adopts piety,
and becomes the subject of his grace!
If you do your prayers at the beginning of its appointed time,
this is the first word (of advice),
perform what is obligatory,
abstain from what God has forbidden,
(and) do not forget to seek intercession (tawassul) to the Imam of the time every day.
(Only then), that (illuminating) ray which
the Prophet (s), himself, claimed to be in his soul
will shine on your soul.
When it shines, its elixir will fundamentally change (the soul)!
