They regarded the establishment of the legitimate government through his emergence a certainty.
This anticipation used to get intense during times of political turmoil and unfavorable social conditions. People expected that the ...

Muslims also follow the through examples of Islam's Prophet Muhammed (saws), and their Savior Al-Mahdi (as). There are similarities between Muslims and Christians, and therefore somebody may claim if we -as believers- cannot make a big difference or a ...
The Fourth ViewThe traditions show that in the same way that Muslims had certain obligations to their Imams in their presence, we have the same during the occultation. These obligations along with special duties, not only accumulate blessings for us, but also help in hastening the appearance and rising of the Imam(A.S.). The following duties have been found through studying and researching numerous traditions:1. The PatienceIn a tradition going ...
The Culmination of Eschatological Signs – Manifestation of God’s LawHumanity’s Brightest HourThe function of Abrahamic eschatology stresses leadership.
