He has bestowed bounty upon His servants that shall never be stopped from them.

He has bestowed bounty upon His servants that shall never be stopped from them. He brought them from non-existence into existence and created them in the best of the forms and made him superior to most of the creatures and commanded the angels to prostrate before their father, Adam, and gave the Sun and the Moon in their control and provided them with everything they are in need of.

The greatest grace and bestowal of Allah upon His servants is that He has kept them away from deviation and misguidance. For their guidance He sent great prophets like Ibrahim, Musa, Isa and Muhammad (a.s) at the time when humanity was sunk in ignorance, crimes and evils.

The Almighty Allah says: “And you were on the brink of a pit of fire, then He saved you from it.” [1] His Eminence, Amirul Mo-mineen (a.s) has described the society, which was filled with all evil when the Holy Prophet (a.s) announced his prophethood in the following words: “Allah sent the Prophet when the mission of other prophets had stopped and the people were in slumber for a long time.

Evils were raising heads; all matters were under disruption and in flames of wars, while the world was devoid of brightness, and full of open deceitfulness. Its leaves had turned yellow and there was absence of hope about its fruits.” [2] In the same way the reappearance of the Qaim of Aale Muhammad would occur at a time when humanity and human beings would be under the yoke of injustice and oppression, undergoing pains and calamities and tasting the bitterness of oppression and falsehood.

That is the time when the most kind Lord would save humanity through the great reformer, His Eminence, the Mahdi. He would establish peace and justice and provide all kinds of comforts and good things to the humanity, which is eagerly waiting for his advent and he would spread all these good things among them. The birth, occultation and reappearance of His Eminence, Mahdi (a.s) resembles the various aspects of the great divine Messengers and social reformers of the earth.

The concealed birth of Imam Mahdi (a.s) closely resembles the birth of Prophet Musa (a.s) because in the case of Musa (a.s) the Pharaoh had [1] Surah Aale Imran 3:103 [2] Nahjul Balagha appointed female spies to inform him about the birth of male children to every woman so that they could be murdered. If the newborn were female it was of no concern.
