9/64
Introductionhe time period we are currently going through is one in which
the Divinely appointed Imm (representative of Allh i) is
not amongst us at least apparently he is not. From thetraditions of the Prophet, we know that the Imm has
not distanced himself from his followers, nor is he in some mystical
land or in another time realm. Rather, he lives among the people, seeswhat we are going through and feels the hurt and grief at the state of
affairs of the world. In addition, to show us that he is indeed with us,the traditions tell us that he is present in various gatherings
throughout the year such as the ajj on an annual basis.
This period which has been going on for the past 1,200 years is
known as theghaybatul kubrahor the major occultation of Imm al-ujjah , and is one in which we are all in a state of intir oractive anticipation for his advent.
During this time, one of the responsibilities for those who want tofollow the Imm is to know as much about him as possible. Thisknowledge of the Imm is not limited to merely the incidentalcharacteristics of the Imm - such as his date of birth, place ofbirth, his mother and fathers name and other such things. Rather, as
T

the traditions, narrated in all of the books of adth tell us that, The
person who dies and does not have a deep understanding (Ma{rifat) ofthe Imm of his time, dies the death of those of the period of
decadence (the pre-Islamic era). Thus, even if we were to follow all ofthe dictates of Islam such as praying, fasting, going for ajj and even
struggling in Jihd against ourselves and an external threat, however if
we do not know and acknowledge the Imm of our time, all of ouractions would be in vain!
It is with this thought in mind that we need to proceed forward in life,
seeking to better understand our living Imm and what betterway than through what his noble fore-fathers have said about him!
The traditions mentioned in this booklet offer us glimpses of the Imm
which should instill a sense of hope in us a hope for a betterfuture of the world and one in which the rule of Allh i is establishedover the entire globe. It is only at this time - through the support and
guidance of Imm al-Mahd, that all forms of corruption and evil
will be removed from the Earth, paving the way for the utopia whichthe Islamic narrations speak so vividly about the kingdom and rule
of Allh i.
One of the ways in which we can attain the deep understanding of the

Imm, which we must strive for, is to hold firm to the true scholars
who are serving the cause of the faith during the period of theoccultation of our awaited Imm . It is by following them andadhering to their orders, which in reality is nothing other thanfollowing the Qurn and the Sunnah, that we can safeguard our
position with the Imm.
The worth of the scholars during the occultation has been emphasizedin a beautiful tradition that has reached us from the 10th Imm,Muammad b. {Al al-Hd:

iv
If there were not to remain after the occultation of your Q}im from
among the scholars, a person from among the proofs of Allh whowould call (others) towards him (the Imm); represent him (the
Imm); defend his (the Imms) religion; grant safety to thedowntrodden servants of Allh from the evils of Ibls and the
wickedness of the enemies (of the Ahlul Bayt), then there would not
remain a single person (on Earth) except that he would have left thereligion of Allh. But rather, these people (the {Ulam) take it upon
themselves to be the protectors of the hearts of our downtrodden Sh{a,
just as the captain of a boat takes control of the lives and safety ofthose on his ship. Thus, these (the {Ulam) are the people who are the
best in the sight of Allh, the Noble and Great.1
