RNA – During a meeting with a number of professors and members of the Bright Future Institute, Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad-Ali Alavi-Gorgani referred to the importance of enlightenment in the field of Mahdism and said, “Unfortunately, the issue of the existence of the Imam of Time has been neglected in today’s society and if this issue can be revived in society, the people will find that the sacred existence of Imam al-Mahdi protects the world and provides favourable grounds for the people.”
The prominent teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom said, “God has given you leadership and this great position so that you can explain the issue of the existence of Imam al-Mahdi so that society can see its good effects.”
Referring to verse 55 of Surah al-Nur, he said, “God has promised those who do righteous deeds and the believers that He will make them successors in the earth, just as He made those who were before them successors and the future is in their hands and He provided them with all of the facilities.”
Ayatollah Alavi-Gorgani said that today, society must be in a state of suspicion and surprise and said, “Today, in society, we must maintain a state of security and certainty in order that the people are certain of their future.”
Referring to a narration from Imam al-Sajjad about the attributes of Imam al-Mahdi, the revered source of emulation stated, “God gave Imam al-Mahdi seven traditions from the prophets Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Job and the Prophet Muhammad.”
He said that the Infallible Imams had demanded that the believers to pay attention to the issues of their time and remind the people of faith and said, “Some of the issues that we are suffering from today are the issue of livelihood, the economic problems of the country and the hoarding of goods, which unfortunately some people in society have been suffering from.”
In regard to the enemies’ economic plots against Iran, Ayatollah Alavi-Gorgani added, “We ask the Iranian people to support each other in this difficult economic situation in order to avoid a false famine, to keep the people calm and not forget God.”
