The night of Sha’ban the 15th was\ncoming to the end. The moment was slowly approaching, and yet for those waiting\nit seemed like years\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, the waiting ceased as a halo\nof light geared all attentions to the birth of the newborn. The promised savior\nof the world was born and his birth lightened the whole universe. His mother\nNarjes full of pride and laughter, as the rest of the house share this joy with\nuttering praises to the Allah Almighty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed this honor has been bestowed\nsolely upon the lineage of prophethood that the savior of mankind and him who\nwill rise to establish world peace is from the grand family of Prophet Muhammad\n(PBUH&HP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Establishing a global government and\nsociety is a widely discussed topic in present day international organizations.\nThese organizations get together under the subheading of unity to strengthen\nties amongst societies. Although most of these organizations hold political\nintentions that they do not openly express, however establishing these\norganizations shows that human nature is constantly seeking universal,\nsociological, religious, and political unity. \nThus all these virtual movements provide grounds for one true movement\ntoward establishing a global government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the man of this era who has\ndiscovered the natural forces of the world and claims that he can destroy all\nbeings in less than an hour, would he sit calmly and cease carrying on wars?\nHow can we expect the man of current century who distanced himself from\nspirituality and moralities, and who would do anything to reach his position\nand power over others, to see peace and calmness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been recorded in Islamic\nnarrations that there will eventually come a time where the world faces the\nhardest dilemmas; the fire of oppression and violence will fill the entire\nearth. It is in these moments that the\nleaders of the countries lose control and get frustrated over governing their\nsocieties and thus threaten humanity to extinction. In such a time weak nations\nand oppressed people find that they cannot get help from organizations and\nsocieties that called themselves protectors of human rights and minorities. In\nsuch a time weapons of mass destruction reach their utmost excellence, and on\nthe contrary human morals and values diminish and are replaced with corrupted\nmoralities in the society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wouldn’t all these reasons be enough\nfor human beings to realize that after a series of wars, when they saw that all\ntheir efforts ended in lack of morals and humanity, that they come to accept a\njust and spiritual government whom its base is on faith in Allah (SWT) and in\nthe Day of Judgment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus in this time a divine reformer\nwhose arrival, characteristics, and qualities had already been mentioned\nbefore, arises and begins to reform the world of all its oppressions and\nadversities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Islamic sources this\nreformer will bring the world under one just government. During his time, the world will be governed\nby divine laws. All the corporations and institutions will work to create\ncomfort, reconstruction and cultivation. And eventually life will become in\nsuch a way that not a single poor person will remain. (1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an authentic narration Prophet\nMuhammad (PBUH&HP) has said that\neven if one day is left from the life of the world, Allah (SWT) will lengthen\nthat day so much until the Promised Mahdi comes and fills the earth with\njustice and peace; as it has been filled with injustice and oppression.(2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We and all humans are awaiting such a\nday, and we see the future bright and shining. Thus with a soul full of hope\nand happiness we act upon our duties and congratulate humanity on the birthday\nof the final savior, especially those whom have had enough of seeing\noppression, corruption, and destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O Allah please hasten his\nreappearance, ease his returning, and make us of his helpers and companions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Selection taken\nfrom “Glad Tidings of Peace and Security” by the Great Ayatullah Safi\nGulpayigani, with minor changes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On behalf of Roshd Website we\ncongratulate humanity and all awaitors on the birthday of the protector of\nAllah’s (SWT) religion; the promised savior and the establisher of divine\njustice, Imam Mahdi (PBUH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
