The Life of Imam Al-mahdipeace Be Upon Him
Dedication
To the designer of the human civilization that is established on the Unity of Almighty Allah… To the redeemer of human volition and thought… To the Seal of the Prophets and the Master of all beings; the Holy Prophet Muhammad—peace be upon him and his Household… I dedicate this survey on the Seal of his Successors, the Reviver of his Faith, and the resuscitator of his Mission: Imam al-Mahdi, peace be upon him who shall fill the earth with justice and righteousness after it will be filled with injustice and prejudice. I thus hope for acceptance so that I will keep it as reservoir for the day on which I shall meet Almighty Allah.
O my Master! The whole world is looking forward to receiving your delightful advent so that you shall raise the standard of justice, very high and fluttering; and you shall spread security and luxury over the peoples of the world and the inhabitants of this globe; and you shall save human beings from the dooms of the oppressors and the persecutions of the terrorists; and you shall fold the frivolous political regimes that have violated all the sanctities of Almighty Allah, abused all human rights, transmuted the earth into hell, and exhausted the fortunes of the peoples on making destructive weapons that are destroying “the crops and the cattle” while millions of people are starving!
O My Master! O the hope of the weak and the tortured on this earth! To you are the eyes of these people turning and for you are they desiring so that you shall save them from their bitter actualities, establish social justice in their lands, and distribute the riches of Almighty Allah among them fairly in order that
hunger and deprivation will no longer snap at the body of anyone under your authority; rather everybody will live as exactly as Almighty Allah wants for them to live with comfort and opulence; neither attacked by humility nor fearing any meekness, nor anticipating any partiality.
O My Master! Ethics have collapsed, virtues have been eliminated, human race have fallen down to a baseless, lowly level as honesty has disappeared, fabrication has prevailed, hypocrisy has become common, social relations have vanished, and man has no longer played his role that Almighty Allah wanted for him—to act as His representative on this earth by following the right and seeking the justice.
Consequently, humanity is aspiring after your arrival and hoping for your government so as to save them from this horrible collapse that is preparing for the revival of the jungle law.
O My Master! The laws of Islam have been frozen, its commandments have been impeded, and nothing of it has remained except the name. Here it is crying for your aid so that you may reinforce its marks and bring back its signs so that the world will flourish with the justice of Islam, the fearful will be secured, and the enfeebled will be delighted by its laws.
