A true awaiter recognises the loneliness and the need of the Imam of his time

🌸Some of the soldiers of Umar ibn Sa’ad army joined Imam al-Hussain in the last moments, even though they were fighting with him until a few minutes before that. But when they thought that “He is an imam who is the grandson of the prophet, and he is lonely and it’s my duty to help him”, that made them repent and join the army of Imam al-Hussain (a).

🌸It’s been told that the number of soldiers who went to aid their Imam and died in his cause, was around 30 people. These were also true mourners who did their duty when they came to know it.

🌸True human is a true awaiter, who realizes the loneliness and the need of the Imam of his time. He is not a useless or worthless unit for his Imam.

🌸To be an awaiter means that the person should pay the price of their love toward their heavenly father. just as love toward one’s spouse, parents, and siblings has a price and one has to bear the weight of one’s love toward others in life and pay it’s price, we also have to know how to pay the price toward our heavenly father and the Imam of our time.

👉Have we allocated a spot in our daily/weekly/monthly or annual plannings, to help the Imam of our time and remove the obstacles of his reappearance?

🌸As awaiters, besides having a vegetal faculty and taking care of our body and exercising and eating, and having a bestial faculty and forming a family and taking care of our family and our social duties, also having an intellectual faculty and doing scientific work, we need to know that above all these, we are human and have a human and everlasting faculty. We should know that this faculty has its own types of loves and affections and we have to go aid the Imam of our time, in this faculty.

👉What is the most important question on the Day of Resurrection?

🌸The most important question on the Day of Resurrection, which will be asked from the person while he’s face to face with the Imam of his time, which would make answering to other question easier if answered correctly, is: “was the Imam of your time, displaced or not?”

🌸This is the meaning of this verse of Quran: “لَتُسْأَلُنَّ یَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِیم – Then, on that day, you will surely be questioned concerning the Blessing. 102:8″ the blessing here, is referring to the Imam of the time (of the person).

It will be asked: “did the Imam of your time, need help or not? What did you do for him? Did you coordinate your life with him or not?”

👉Are we not going to be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about our earthly parents? This question is one of the more important questions of the Day of Resurrection.

🌸In hadith we have “the scent of heaven reaches out to a distance of 500 years of travel, but a person whom his (earthly) parents are not satisfied with, will not smell this scent.”

🌸But the right of our heavenly parents are much heavier than that of our earthly parents. If our earthly parents approve us on the Day of Resurrection and allow us to pass, yet our heavenly parents don’t sign to let us pass, then even a lifetime of doing daily prayers and fasting, will not benefit us there. We should prepare the answer to these questions here on earth, otherwise we will have no answer to give on that spot.

🌸So, according to his own saying, we should be loyal and sympathetic with Imam al-Mahdi for him to emerge quickly.
