RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said wars being held in the world, blood of innocents being gushed out at the hands of powerful, racial differences and discriminations, colonialism, oppression and barbarism of dictators, hypocrite attitude of proclaimers of justice, imperialism, and anti-laborer capitalistic system stand witness that justice of this world is dead and lifeless; every oppressed and have-not is waiting for Mehdi Mau’ood (promised Mehdi), peace be on him, who demolishing the spells of pearls and jewels, chains of oppression and castles of fire and iron will flutter the flag of Islam and will establish the rule of oppressed through real system of justice in the universe. The good news of appearance of Imam Mehdi, peace be on him, is a warning for that powers that are a hurdle in way of truth while a hope for the oppressed.

He made his remarks addressing Mehfil-i-Adl at the headquarters of Maktab-e-Tashayyo on the occasion of ‘Universal Youm-e-Adl’ or the Justice Day marking the birth anniversary of Imam Mehdi Aakheruz Zaman, peace be on him.

Agha Moosavi said all nations, religions and faiths that existed or exist i.e. idol-ship, Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism and everyone has talked about a deliverer and given good news of appearance of Messiah. That figure in sight of Muslim Ummah is Imam Mehdi, peace be on him.

There goes an agreed-upon hadith: Mehdi is from my (Prophet Muhammad’s, peace be on him and his offspring) progeny, he will fill the earth with justice and equity as it would be filled with oppression and barbarism.

Agha Moosavi told that according to many traditions birth date of Imam Mehdi, peace be on him, is 15 Sha’ban 255 A.H. he was born clipped-navel and circumcised. On his right shoulder this Quranic verse is carved: Ja’al haq wa zahaqal baatil innal baatil kaana zahooqa Truth has come and falsehood is removed, no doubt falsehood has to annihilate.

Certainly the day when Imm Mehdi, peace be on him, will appear, on that day oppressed-ness will be successful on oppression. Name and appellation of Imam Mehdi is like that of holy Prophet, peace be on him and his holy progeny; his respected father was Imam Hasan Al-Askari and mother’s name was Narjis while her mother name was Maleeka binte Yashuaai bin Qaiser, the king of Rome. He was five when his father kissed martyrdom. Allah bestowed him Imamate in his babyhood as He granted prophethood to Issa (Jesus Christ) in childhood. His titles are Hujjat, Hadi, Khalf us Salih, Qaem, Montazar, Sahibul Asr, Sahibuz Zaman and the most famous is Mehdi. Mo’tamed was monarch of his time and Samarra, Iraq is his birthplace.

Agha Moosavi said Imamate is that greatest post which was granted to prophet Ibrahim after prophethood, apostleship and khil’at following difficult trying trials. That is why he demanded this post for his progeny. Therefore Allah told him that I will grant this post to your progeny but only that progeny which is an embodiment of chastity and purity. In the sight of Maktab-i-Tashayyo that khulafaa (descendants) of Prophet are Aaimmah isna ashar (12 imams). Whereas the divine book explains this there sunnah of prophet also stands witness. Hazrat Jabir bin Samrah narrates he said I heard from Prophet, peace be on him, that Ameer will be twelve. After it what he said I could not hear. My father said prophet said they all will be from Quresh.

Agha Moosavi said that first is Ali ibne Abi Talib, peace be on him, and the last one is Imam Mehdi, peace be on him.

He quoted a saying of Allah that Allah is He Who Has sent Prophet with guidance and religion so that make this religion overpowering and domineering on all religions, although infidels abhor it. From Prophet Adam to Muhammad it never happened that there exists no religion save Islam. Therefore it is demand of brain that presence of some personality, whether that personality is in appearance or hidden, is necessary in every era until Islam gets dominance over all religions in such a manner that there remains no religion in this universe save Islam, and that personality is Imam Mehdi, peace be on him.

Agha Moosavi also described some signs of appearance of Imam Mehdi, peace be on him, saying that some are confirmed while some other are unconfirmed, some have happened while some other are to happen.

He said according to traditions when Imam Mehdi, may Allah hasten his appearance, will appear, 360 perfect believers will stand with him; they will take oath of allegiance to him between Rukn and maqam in Masjid Al-Haram; He who will deny his imamate will be killed, he who will make a war against him will be disgraced; if holy prophet, peace be on him, would present he would give same order that Imam Al-Montazar will order; Jurists moqallad (who are followed) will be his enemies but fearing his sword, his authority and in greed of his wealth will become under dominance; it is imam Mehdi Montazar whi is Mehdi Aal-i-Muhammad; his munificence and generosity will be like heavy rain; he will the rightful caliph of Allah; understands language of animals; his justice will be for jinn and human beings equally.

He quoted a saying of Imam Mehdi that his appearance is in hand of Allah, those who fix its time they are liars. Another saying goes;: pray for my early reappearance because therein lays your success.

The TNFJ chief said today the world in general and Islamic world in particular are confronting with Iblisi forces; Pakistan, the citadel of Islam is their exacting target. Every person is depressing, sad and oppressed but insha Allah with the appearance of Imam Mehdi, peace be on him, justice will be rife.

On the occasion of Univeral Days of Justice’ we want to say that time is very near when all humanity will live with love, each evil will be annihilated and the flag of Islam that is the flag of peace will flutter everywhere.

Extending greetings to the followers of Din o Shariah and devotees of Khanwada e Risalat, Agha Moosavi prayed for speedy reappearance of hope of oppressed, son of Hazrat Zahraa, peace be on her, Imam Mehdi, peace be on him, and that may Allah include us in his servants.
