Ahmad son of Isaac Ghomi narrated
that: "One day I went to meet Imam Hassan Asgari (p.b.u.h.) I wanted
to ask him who is the successor of that Imam? Before I had proposed my
question, Imam (p.b.u.h.) prescribed: "
thou!
Ahmad son of Isaac! God has not kept empty of His contention as of the
time Adam was created so far and it will be the same till pandemonium,
so that the land is protected of the catastrophe and rain comes down
and the earth produces its graces."
I said: Son of prophet! Who is Imam and caliph after you? Imam Hassan
Asgari (p.b.u.h.) stood up and entered a room, then took a three year
old boy at hands and exited the room, while the face of that child was
bright as the moon of 14th night. Then he prescribed: "
Ahmad
son of Isaac! If it was not for the sake of your benevolence with God
and divinity, I would not show to you my son. He bear the same name
and title of prophet of God (p.b.u.h.). He shall fill the earth with
justice and equality when it has been filled with depression. God will
keep him out of the eyes of the others and no one will get release of
his absence except those who believe in his Imamate and pray for his
coming."
Alas! If he suddenly comes like a
falling star, when our homes, our cities, our land have not been yet
sewed and cleaned. Alas! If his coming is depending on cleaning of our
bodies and our souls, while we are engaged in ourselves by our
negligence. Alas! If we are asked about duties of the Muslims in the
era of absence, while we might not arrange the alphabet. Alas! If 15th
day of Month: Shaban is not the prologue of renewal of our promise for
all the months and all the years.
The 12th Imam of Shiite was
born in the night of 15th day of Shaban, the year: 255
lunar calendar in city of Samera. His respectful father Imam Hassan
Asgari (p.b.u.h.) had no other child and was hiding this one. His
honorable mother was a deserved woman named Narjes, also called Sousan,
Seyghal, Malakieh. She was the daughter of Yousha'a, son of Roman
Caesar, grand son of Shamoun, one of disciples of Jesus who was
selected as the wife of 11th Imam in a wonderful way.
The mothers put us on the land in the
era of absence and poured into our throats the sweet of emergence. The
fathers have taken our fingers every Friday to take us to Nodbeh
Prayers. The teachers whispered into our ears as the first letter,
the words of kindness with sun in the sky, and we, by reading the
prayers every morning, remind to us that we are waiting! Were are
waiting for the star of the morning! We are waiting for his raising
hands to fertilize us.
Some parts of AHD prayer:
O! creator of the morning! In the
gallant day which commences and in all the days when my lips are
sweetened by your name, I renew my old bounds with the owner of the
morning and Imam of the time and make the hands of my allegiance in
his transparent hands, so that the while poem of this love is repeated
in the scene of my heart.
The current freshness of this promise
and this allegiance shall never leave the garden of my memories and I
always wear the green shawl of his kindness so that it caress my
trembling shoulders.
My kind creator!
If the hands of your destiny made me
wear the white dress of afterlife and if the tree of my life was
surrendered to the winter and eternal sleep and if I was separated
from that spring, so, when the kind face of that bright moon is
emerged in the sky of eyes of the people, awaken me from alter of my
grave and grant to me the opportunity of pilgrimage so that I might
call you and pilgrim your Mecca.
O! you who fulfill every prayer!
The window of heart of those who are
waiting for you, is open to your grand sky so that by your pointing
out, the dust of sorrow and grief of absence leaves the hearts and the
eyes look at the rain of emergence.
God!
Shorten the long night of separation
by the augur of emergence of the moon, that the night lovers have
still closed their eyes to the sacred morning and we faithful people
feel that raising of the sun is near.
My Lord!
When you come, the hearts of the
people are filled with worship and obedience and justice is
distributed all over the world and God will uproot the lies by you and
will remove the oppression and rapacity and takes out the collar of
slavery and abjection from the necks of the creatures.
When you come, the inhabitants of land
and the sky shall love you, the sky shall release to us the rain, the
earth shall let the plants grow. The people shall wish that all those
dead, would be alive to feel the real justice, the true peace. When
you come, all the nations shall take shelter in your bosom, just like
the honey bees that take shelter with their queen.
Your coming, doubtlessly, shall make
the greatest party of the world and shall lead the destiny of the
world to final well-being.
Congratulations on Birthday of Imam
Mahdi.
