🌿👀 For the Eyes That Wait

O Imam of our Time,
these eyes have learned the language of waiting
looking beyond every dawn,
searching every horizon for your light.

Every Friday arrives with a silent hope:
perhaps today,
perhaps this very moment,
the distance will end
and your presence will fill the world with justice.

Our hearts grow weary,
but they never stop waiting for you.
Our eyes may carry tears,
yet they still look toward the same horizon.

O Imam of our Time,
come like the morning after a long night.
Let these waiting eyes finally see you,
let these restless hearts finally find peace,
and let the world awaken
beneath the light of your presence.

❣️ With Mahdi which shall end
From Ahmad it began
The advent of mercy
A Prophetic descent

His light was made
Before the world
In his love Lord created
An entire universe

He showed mankind
Virtues and values
He—the spring of Knowledge
With his progeny it continued

From Ali to Mahdi
All are light upon light
Fatima’s Father
The bounty to Mankind!

🎙️🤲 Dua al-Ahad

Dua al-Ahad is narrated from Imam Jafar Sadiq (as), who advised:

“Whosoever prays to Allah for 40 days through this promise and covenant, he will be included among the helpers of our Qaem (aj). If he dies before his reappearance, then Allah, the Most High, shall enliven him from his grave and for every word (of this supplication) 1000 good deeds shall be written for him in his scroll of deeds, erase 1000 sins and this supplication is as follows Allahumma Rabba…”

🤲 O Imam of time , my heart awaits your light,
In every silent prayer, I call you through the night.
I am lost, yet I trust the path you lead,
💔 My broken heart knows only you are what I need.
When you appear, let me be among the ones who stay,
Until that blessed dawn, I’ll wait for you every day.🕊️

💠 Imam Al-Mahdi (aj) said:

I am Al-Mahdi and I am the still-living one who will establish justice throughout the world the same as it has been filled with oppression. Surely the earth will never remain without a witness, and people will not live in lack of a leader. Thus, do not retell this except to your (Muslim) brothers who are people of Truth.”

أَنَا ال مَهدِيُّ و أَنَا قائِمُ الزَّمانِ، أَنَا الَّذي أَم لَأُها عَدلاً كَمـا مُلِئَت جَورًا، إِنَّ الأرضَ لا تَخلُو مِن حُجَّةٍ وَ لا يَبقَى النّاسُ فِي فَتـرَةٍ وَ هذِه أَمانَةٌ لا تُحَدِّث بِها إلّا إِخ وانَكَ مِن أَهلِ ال حَقِّ

💠 Patience and forbearance of Imam al-Mahdi (aj)

One of the prominent characteristics and spiritual excellence of His Eminence (aj) is patience and forbearance.
His Eminence (aj) is encountering more severe problems and calamities than faced by all the infallible Imams (as). During his prolonged life he has experienced many bitter incidents and great tragedies, which has made the Islamic world black and broken its limbs and the Muslim community with these pieces, is subjugated under the yoke of disbelievers and tyrants and struggling in that position.

Such types of different oppressions have become common in the world of Islam and the divine rules and laws have been rendered useless. The wealth of the Muslims has been plundered and they interfere in all the decisions of the Muslim nation and they force their own view upon them.

💠 Who will be saved during the occultation?

Imam Hasan ibn ‘Ali al-’Askari (peace be upon them both) has said:

“… I swear by Allah that he (Imam al-Mahdi) shall go into an occultation such that none shall be saved [during that period] from destruction, except the person whom Allah, Glorious and Grand is He, makes firm on the belief of his Imamate [of Imam al-Mahdi] and whom He grants the Divine ability (tawfiq) to supplicate for his speedy advent.”

قَالَ الإِمَامُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍِّ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ : ... وَ اللٌّهِ لَيَغْيِبَنَّ غَيْـبَةً لاَ يَنْجُوْ فِيهَا مِنَ الْهَلَكَةِ إِلاَّ مَنْ ثَـبَّتَ اللٌّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلـى الْقَوْلِ بِإِمَامَتِهِ وَ وَفَّقَهُ (فِيهَا) لِلدُّعَاءِ بِتَعْجِيلِ فَرَجِهِ.
