\n It is also quite evident that there are many years of wait for people in the appearance of a Prophet for deliverance of a Divine Message – when for ignorant ones, there was neither a publicly known Prophet -as nor an Imam -asws .\u00a0 For example, when we look at the lives of holy Prophets -as , people waited for several hundred years before the awaited Prophet Musa -as (Moses) announced (himself –as ) that he is the Prophet of Allah -azwj and has been sent as a \u2018deliverer\u2019 to Bani Israel (Children of Israel) for safeguarding them from the cruelty of Pharaohs (Firons).\u00a0 Holy Quran also confirms that Prophet Isa -as announced himself –as from his cradle as he –as is the Prophet of Allah -azwj : \n \u0642\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u0650\u064a \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u0650 \u0622\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0646\u0650\u064a\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0643\u0650\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0628\u064e \u0648\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0651\u064b\u0627 {30} \n He (Isa) said: \u2018I am a servant of Allah; He Gave me the Book and Made me a Prophet [19:30] \n Similarly, there is a big gap between the Prophet Isa -as and -saww , so who announced the Prophet-hood of -saww , no one else but he -saww himself told people that I am the Prophet of Allah -saww .\u00a0 As when the Verse of the Holy Quran was revealed: \n \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0630\u0650\u0631\u0652 \u0639\u064e\u0634\u0650\u064a\u0631\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0642\u0652\u0631\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e {214} \n And warn your kindred, the near ones!

[26:214] \n So Rasool Allah -saww organised a feast which is known as “the Feast of the Clan” ( Da’wat dhi ‘l-‘ash\u00edra ). This is the first time that Rasool Allah -saww openly and publicly called the relatives to accept him -saww as the Messenger and Prophet of Allah -azwj .

\n Therefore, the Divine Proofs of Allah -azwj , in between the publically known Prophet -as , were hidden or so called in \u2018Ghayeebah\u2019 (occultation), but while in that state, they continued to guide the believers, this is also true for our time! \n Allah -azwj Says about this: \n \u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u0623\u064f\u0642\u0652\u0633\u0650\u0645\u064f \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u0652\u062e\u064f\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0633\u0650 {15} \n But no!
