[shia_strength] Not to fix the time of reappearance and to falsify those who fix the time. Mikyalul Makarim

 





Not to fix the time of reappearance and to falsify those
who fix the time

The Divine wisdom dictates that the time of the
reappearance of Imam (a.s.) remains a secret because its
effect is connected to Allah which He has kept confidential.
As mentioned in the supplication of Imam (a.s.) related by
Shaykh Amri: "O Allah! You know the time of Your Wali's
reform (reappearance) without being taught. So issue the
command that he may reappear lifting the curtain of
Ghaibat. Bestow me the tawfeeq of patience with regard to
Intezar. So that I do not prefer advancement while you had
postponed it. And that I do not incline towards delay on
matters that You expedite. And that I do not prefer the
exposing of all things that You have hidden. And that I do
not strive to find the things You have concealed. And that I
do not oppose You regarding the decrees of the universe
whose hidden wisdom is known to you."
Mufaddal asked Imam Sadiq (a.s.) regarding the ayat,
"Allah it is who revealed the Book with truth, and the
balance, and what shall make you know that perhaps the
hour is near? Those who do not believe in it would hasten
it on, and those who believe are in fear from it, and they
know that it is the truth. Now most surely those who
dispute obstinately concerning the hour are in a great
error."
(Surah Shura 42: 17-18)
Mufaddal asked the meaning of 'dispute' in the above.
Imam (a.s.) said, "They say when was Qaem born? Who
has seen him? Where he is at present? Where shall he be in
the future? And when shall he reappear? All these are acts
of impatience with Divine affairs due to, doubts with
regard to the Divine decrees. They have suffered loss in the
world and the hereafter and the infidels have evil
consequences."
Mufaddal asked Imam (a.s.) whether he would not
appoint a time for it? Imam (a.s.) said, "O Mufaddal! Never
predict a time for all this because one who does it has
claimed partnership in the knowledge of Allah and he has
falsely claimed that Allah has informed of His secrets."
Muhammad Ibne Muslim is quoted in Ghaibat Nomani
that Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said, "O Muhammad! If anyone
quotes us with regard to the prediction of the time (of
reappearance), falsify him at once because we do not
inform anyone of the appointed hour."
(Ghaibat Nomani Pg. 155)
