Hazrat Mahdi (as) will establish the dominion of Islamic moral values under very difficult conditions

1847
 
From Abdurrahman Ibn Salit; Imam Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib narrated “... IT IS HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WHO WILL APPEAR WITH THE TRUTH. ALLAH WILL BRING THE EARTH BACK TO LIFE, BY MEANS OF HIM, AFTER IT HAS DIED, AND ALLAH WILL MAKE HIS RELIGION VICTORIOUS OVER ALL OTHER RELIGIONS, WHETHER THE MUSHRIQUN WISH IT OR NOT... THEY WILL BE OPPRESSED AND TOLD, “IF YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH, WHEN WILL THIS PROMISE BE MADE GOOD?” Know that, DISPLAYING FORTITUDE IN THE FACE OF OPPRESSION AND WOES DURING HIS OCCULTATION IS LIKE WAGING JIHAD WITH THE SWORD ALONGSIDE RASULULLAH (SAAS).”

(Uyun Al-Ahbar, vol. 1, p. 68)


The verses of the Qur’an contain references to Hazrat Mahdi (as). In one account handed down by Hazrat Hussain, our Prophet (saas) said that verse 17 of Surat al-Hadid referred to Hazrat Mahdi (as). He said the words “Know that Allah brings the earth to life after it was dead…” in the verse “Know that Allah brings the earth to life after it was dead. We have made the Signs clear to you so that hopefully you will use your intellect” were a reference to Hazrat Mahdi (as). And the religion will certainly be restored to life, through Hazrat Mahdi (as) who will appear in the End Times, and Muslims will begin to live by the moral values of the Qur’an and the Sunna of our Prophet (saas). The number of Muslims will increase and Islamic moral values will rule the world. In the next past of this hadith Hazrat Hussain also says that verse 33 of Surat at-Tawba refers to Hazrat Mahdi (as), and that in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) Islam will be superior to Christianity, Judaism and all other religion, whether the associaters wish it or not.

The same hadith also says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers will be mistreated, imprisoned, slandered and defamed by the deniers, and that the hypocrites will be suspicious of Hazrat Mahdi (as), that they will have worldly expectations of him and will fail to exhibit fortitude on the subject of Islamic moral values ruling the world.

This hadith also described how Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers will continue to speak the truth in the face of these slanders and this oppression. Our Prophet (saas) says that opposing all the slander and oppression visited on Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers will be as difficult as waging war with the sword alongside the Prophet (saas). It appears from this part of the hadith that Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers will spread Islam under very difficult conditions and that their lives will be subjected to all kinds of danger.
