Reference of the fall of oppressors taking place is cited in many supplications of the Ahl ul Bait, but most beautifully in the supplication of Nudba (Almanac) where the news of the demolisher of polytheist and hypocrisy will spread the flag of victory and annihilate the oppressors.

The supplication of Iftitah also describes how his coming will put 'order into our affairs and gather and unite the flocks of believers and increase the numbers from being minority and easing of difficulties (Kassamali, H.; T.). These citations offer proof to the kind of rule that we look forward to. It is through supplications that we realize the importance of the belief in the Mahdi (a) as a form of salvation from hopelessness.

Persistence in this belief brings about certitude in waiting for his appearance. It is this hope that gives reason to perseverance in today's struggles. To bring about such an unparalleled revolution, the Imam will need a legion of companions who are determined and can endure all sorts of untold calamities in their way. The men who will form the Imam's government and become his army generals will need to have strong commitment in serving God.

These qualities will be found in the 313 who will come immediately to help Imam (a) after his appearance. It is not possible to determine which country or nation will lead in backing the Imam's revolution. It is likely that Muslims will rise in unison to defeat the big powers. On the other hand it could also be isolated states joining hands and coming to heed the call of Tawhid to take up the challenge of becoming leaders of human civilization.

It is the response to his call that will decide who takes precedence in offering support to the Imam's revolution. Will the people accept him as a true leader? This may not be very difficult, as human beings are becoming more aware that their traditions and religions do not have the ability to satisfy their conscience. The natural thirst in moving towards God and the search for attaining peace has not been quenched.

Thus this drive in search of truth will lead people to be open and approachable for the right guidance and when Imam Mahdi (a) will present the true Islam, it will appeal to their hearts and they will come towards the truth. It will be a time when human beings will have attained the level of perfection that is necessary to accept the government of truth (Amini A., 2003).
