When the light of his reappearance will
emerge, it will be a different world. Then, the
earth will be a kind of paradise. Dead with
oppression and apostasy of its inhabitants, it
will get a new lease of life. The glorification
and exaltation of Allah on earth will be with
recognition. At that time, the earth will come
alive due to the presence of Imam-e-Zamaan
(a.t.f.s.).1
His reappearance is a sign of the Major
Resurrection (Qiyamat-e-Kubra), the day on
which the earth shall transform to a condition

The distance between the current social
order and the promised one is extremely vast
but at the same time, it is also very short.
The distance is wide like the duration of
the long night of negligence for those
unmindful of the light, so much so that their
hearts were numbed and they felt needless of
the Imam of their time (a.t.f.s.). We ignore the
source of life and our hearts are content with
the thirst of ignorance.

arrogantly!
We have distanced ourselves from the
fountainhead of guidance and are passing
our lives in the ocean of perplexity and
amazement and are even happy about it!
How vast is this distance! This is the
distance from darkness to light.
But from another aspect, this distance is
very less.
Those who have submitted their hearts to
the pivot of faith and the center of life;
Those who always feel the necessity to

In this booklet, a picture of the divine
government that will be led by Imam Mahdi
(a.t.f.s.) is outlined. All Prophets (a.s.) and
their successors are keenly awaiting his
reappearance, from the beginning of creation
till date.
K Imam-e-Zamaan's (a.t.f.s.) justice is a
striking aspect of his government that will
be complemented by a sense of justice
and equity even among his subjects.
K The entire creation shall be in perfect
harmony and compatibility with man.
K Economic and social welfare of man will
be the order of the day.
K The boundaries of Imam-e-Zamaan's
(a.t.f.s.) government will extend across
the length and breadth of the world.
K It will be a universal government, the
likeness of which cannot be found in
human history.
K Shiism will be widely practiced among
the people of the world.

It is necessary that we pay attention to
the following:
Whatever we have highlighted here is
just one dimension from the innumerable
aspects of Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.), that is, a
glimpse of his universal government after his
reappearance.
Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) is the last link in the
sequence of guidance and light. He is the
inheritor of the perfections of the past
Prophets (a.s.), the Holy Prophet (s.a.w),
Janabe Fatema (s.a) and all the immaculate
Imams (a.s). This aspect has been
mentioned in Dua-e-Nudba and other reliable
supplications. In Dua-e-Nudba we address
Imam (a.s) thus:
1.

t o r is e t o t h e ra n k t h a t y o u h a ve
ascended.1
Surely, man's power of comprehension
and conception are simply incapable of
perceiving their exhorted status. Therefore,
let us bow our heads before the Ahle Bait
(a.s.) (in submission and expression of our
helplessness) and enrich our hearts with the
words of Imam Sadeq (a.s.):
"One who desires that his faith
attains perfection, must sincerely
confess, 'My belief in all instances
and under all circumstances is in
conformity with the teachings of the
Ahle Bait (a.s.), explicit or otherwise.
I acknowledge absolute faith in all
those things that have reached and
that which have not reached unto
me from them (a.s.).2
From the garden of light and knowledge
of the pure Ahle Bait (a.s.), we present a
bouquet of fragrant flowers to their lovers. It
should be borne in mind that the dimensions
and facets of Imam's (a.t.f.s.) government are

A. Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.)
Allah, the Almighty, has equipped Imam
Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) with the perfections of all the
Prophets (a.s.) and their successors.1
1. Knowledge of Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.)
R Allah, the Almighty, has endowed the
treasure-chest of His unseen knowledge
(Ilm -e -Gh a ib ) to Im a m -e -Za m a a n
(a.t.f.s.).2
R Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) will act as per divine
inspirations. Of course, these
inspirations will not be in the form of a
new shariah or a new religion.3
R Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) is the preserver of
the treasure-chest of knowledge, the heir
of the sciences of all Prophets (a.s.) and

is aware of everything.1
Imam Mahdi (a.t.f .s .) will judge in
concordance with divine knowledge. He
will recognize the people through their
realities and their inner selves. Like the
verdicts of Prophet Dawood (a.s.) and
Prophet Sulaymaan (a.s.), his judgments
too will be needless of witnesses.2

through which he can see as well as hear

In whichever direction they turn, fear and
awe will be struck in the hearts of the
enemies one month prior to their arrival.2
Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.) will rub his
hands between their chest and shoulder
by which they will not hesitate in any
judgment. No decision will be difficult for
them.3
Nothing from the earth will be hidden
from them.4
The companions of Imam-e-Zamaan
(a.t.f.s.) will be noble, learned and rulers
of the earth.5
With Allah's permission, they will enliven
the dead, walk on water and ride on
clouds. They will have the power to

O Mahdi! O Braveheart! O Lion of God!
The righteous are awaiting you. Please
come!
O Mahdi! O Ark of Salvation! The world
is engulfed by storms. Ships have been
wrecked. The eyes of your loved ones are
fixed at you. They are awaiting your arrival.
O Mahdi! O Center of Hope!
Darkness has enveloped the hearts. The
helpless and the weak are orphans. Please
come and stroke the hand of benevolence on
their heads.
O Mahdi! O Shore of Deliverance!
The hearts of believers are awaiting you
restlessly. Please come and grant them
tranquility.
O Mahdi! O Morn of Hope!
The night of separation is painfully long.
W hile most lie in the deep slumber of
negligence, a few of your lovers and adorers
await your luminous reappearance with
restive eyes and restless hearts. Please
come that the flowers of hope may blossom.
O Spring of Life!
Till when will rubbish sweepings adorn
the gatherings?
O Sharp Sword of Allah!
Till when will the tyrants be let loose?
O Pen!
What has happened to you? Stop!
He (a.t.f.s.) himself is awaiting divine
orders.
Since ages, he (a.t.f.s.) has been raising
the cry, 'Is there a helper?'
There is none to respond to his cry but a
few righteous believers. For centuries, he
(a.t.f.s.) is praying for his early reappearance.
But there are few of true character and truthful
ones to say 'Amen'.
In the House of Allah, on all four sides of
the center of monotheism, in the presence of
the Almighty, the tongue is in total harmony
with the hand while supplicating,
