Awaiting
For The Reappearance Of Imam Mahdi (A.S.)
The Holy
Prophet (S.A.W.S.) said,
"The best
worship is to await for the reappearance."
(Kamaaluddin vol.1 Pg.287, Faraidus Simtain vol.2
Pg.335)
Amirul
Momineen Ali (A.S.) said,
"Await
for the reappearance and do not despair of the divine
mercy. Because the best deed in the eyes of Allah, the
Great and the Mighty is to wait for the Reappearance. It
is the duty of those who are believers."(Al Khisaal vol.2 Pg.616)
Imam
as-Sajjad (A.S.) said.
"The
greatest success is to wait for the reappearance"(Al Ihtejaj vol.2 Pg.154. Kamaaluddin vol.1 Pg.320)
Imam
Jafar as-Sadiq (A.S.) said,
"Those of
you who die on this affair (shia faith) while you are in
a condition of awaiting, are like those who has served
the Qaem (A.S.) in his tent."(Ghaibat-e-Nomani Pg.200)
Imam
Al-Jawad (A.S.) said,
"Certainly the Qaem from among us is the Mahdi. Awaiting
for whom is obligatory during (his) ghaibat and obeying
him is obligatory after his reappearance. And he is the
third of my descendants."(Kamaaluadw vol.2 Pg.377)
Imam as
Sadiq (A.S.) said,
"One who
desires to be among the companions of the Qaem, must
await, adopt piety and behave courteously. If he dies in
such a condition before the advent of Qaem, then his
reward will be similar to the one who attains his era.
Hence, congratulations to you all for your relentless
awaiting."
