In occultation era he has abundant favor upon Shia and all pious\npeople of other religions. He has helped Shia and other people many times, and\nin this era hundreds of people have succeeded in meeting him. There are two\nperiods of occultation considered for him: The first one is called&nbsp;<strong>minor\noccultation&nbsp;<\/strong>and the other is called&nbsp;<strong>major occultation<\/strong>. The\nminor occultation (almost 69 years) happened in the third century (after&nbsp;<em>Hijrah<\/em>).\nIn this era he contacted people by special men. These persons, who were four,\nwere known as the&nbsp;<strong>special deputies<\/strong>&nbsp;(<em>Nowwab Khas<\/em>). They\nbecame the special deputy of Imam Mahdi&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;one\nafter another, but after the demise of the last deputy he becomes away from\neyes of people for an unknown period which has last till now. He lives among\npeople and when he reappears many people say that they have seen him before\nbut, hadn&#8217;t known him. Some people renounce his occultation and have doubted\nabout his existence. There is a brief answer to their claim. Not seeing\nsomething does not mean that it doesn&#8217;t exist. No wise person can deny a\nconcept like soul which no one can see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>The\nphilosophy of occultation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the concepts which\nexist in Islam are according to wisdom. But there may be some concepts which\nour wisdom can&#8217;t say anything about. If we face a fact in religion, which our\nwisdom and our limited insight neither can prove it nor can renounce it\ndefinitely, so we should accept it. Because firstly the religion is based on\nwisdom secondly, insight of man is confined to time and place, and the only one\nwho there is no end to his insight and knowledge is almighty Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;&#8211;\nour creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This preface was mentioned\nin order to generalize this proof for the claim of some people about\noccultation. Occultation and some other concepts are related to Divine reason (<em>Hikmah<\/em>)\nand are not known to man perfectly. However there are some reasons and effects\nfor occultation, which will be briefly mentioned. It is should be mentioned\nthat the Divine reason of this concept is not known for man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>The fear\nof being killed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;As we know\nMoses&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;grew up in&nbsp;<em>Pharaoh<\/em>&#8216;s palace, while he knew\nnothing of this child and his ancestors. According to divine will Moses&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;grew up\nand continued his life. Likewise according to divine will the&nbsp;<strong>savior<\/strong>&nbsp;is\naway from access of oppressors and this divine savior is kept on earth,\notherwise he would have been martyred like his ancestors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>Not being\nobedient to oppressors<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that he shouldn&#8217;t\nobey oppressors, but he should only obey Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;in\norder to reach the final victory. But if like his ancestors he is made to\npretend the obedience of the oppressors to keep his life and religion, he would\nnever reach this goal. So if he is not obedient to no one except Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;naturally\nin the existing situation he should be away of the eyes of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>Purifying\npeople and divine examination<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a Devine rule to\nexamine people. Occultation is a way of examining people. In this way the\npeople who are more insistent in their beliefs will be successful in this\nexamination. On the other hand the people who have weak beliefs doubt about\nthis concept and put aside divine religion. This is a way to know people\nwhether they are believer or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction As it was mentioned&nbsp;Mahdi&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;is away from eyes of people according to Divine will, the one who knows everything.
