Amir-ul-Momineen -asws ...

Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : Among them are the Rasool Allah -saww and those distinguished ones -asws , who are successors of the Prophet -saww , who are given proximity to Allah -asws ’s ‘Nafs’ [110] and Prophet Mohammed -saww , and obedience to them -asws has been made compulsory to the same level as submission to Allah -azwj . They -asws are those ‘Wali-ul-Amr’ [111] for which Allah -azwj Says: Obey Allah, Obey Rasool and Those Ulul-Amr among you’ [112] .

And also Says: If they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, those among them who can search out the knowledge of it would have known it, and were it not for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have certainly followed the Shaitan .

[113] Non-believer: Please inform me about the ‘Amr’ Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : The holder of ‘Amr’ is the ‘One’ who is visited by the angels during the night and receives Divine revelations related to the life, death, sustenance, achievements, and deliverance and destruction of species living on the earth as well as in the heavens along with the news of unforeseen and miracles, which no one else is worthy of receiving but only and solely His Divine representative -asws .

He is the trustee of Allah -azwj ’s Commands and issues instructions related to everyone’s affairs. They are the Ambassadors of Allah -azwj to His creation. They -asws are the ‘Waj [114] ’ Allah -azwj . As per Allah -azwj ’s Words: Wherever you turn, the East or the West you will find face of Allah in front of you .

[115] They are the ‘Baqiy-a-Tullah’ [116] meaning ‘Mahdi’ (ajfj), who would come after a long wait and fill this earth with justice as it would be filled with vice and encroached by the tyrants, as transgression and lawlessness will surround all and therefore restoration, through persecution will be the only option left at that time. The occultation and remaining discrete is one of the signs of that era (for a momin).

You could not have understood the meanings of ‘Amr’ but only from Rasool Allah -saww (or now from me). If this is to be addressed for present or past then it will not cover the future but it is indeed eternal. As Allah -azwj Says: Angels descend to implement orders of the holder of Amr’, and has said, Angels used to descend in order to distribute and implement the orders of the ‘Person of Amr’ -asws .
