All have praised the personality of Imam Kadum.

All have praised the personality of Imam Kadum. Similarly the death of Imam Reza which too was by poison and likewise the death of Imam Jawad which too was by poison. The martyrdom of these Imams left a very bad reflection on the regime of the day. Another blunder of the writer is that he consider Imam Hadi and Imam Hasan Askari to have had witnessed the total downfall of the Bani Abbas dynasty.

The fact is that the collapse of the Bani Abbas dynasty took place in theera of Mostasam, as he was killed by Halako in the year 656 Hijra. So, in the time of these two Imams the Bani Abbas dynasty was fast going down, and the military officers were handling the installation of a caliph and again dismissing or discarding him. 23. The appearance of the Imam and his administration of Justice worldwide.

That the Imams through their own agents or elements acquired information and knowledge current with the affairs of their time is not to be debated. However, the writer claims that they became aware of the fact the an Alawi Imam by the name of Mahdi would come, and that he would not be able to stop the flow of events due to the severe corruptness in general. Therefore says the writer, they decided to postpone the reappearance of the "Awaited One" indefinitely.

Yes, the events had become such, however the writer fails to understand that the reappearance of the twelfth Imam was not postponed by Imam Hadi nor Imam Askari, for they had no such power. It was a Divine secret in which only Allah himself knew and planned. According to various narrations, those of Shia and those of Sunni, nobody knew nor does know the person who is to appear and when he will appear. Even the Imams, except Mahdi himself, knew not the specified man. It is a Divine responsibility.

And, it is in Divine hand. Its knowledge is with God. It's delay or its urgency is the concern of God. The writer fails to dig any deeper. For it is the insight that probes and opens the horizons of a vast sight to see. What we know is that which the Prophet (SAW) and the Holy Quran has taught us. That is a redeemer will come to rescue the world from tyranny and to spread therein justice is a promise committed by God to mankind; and it has been foretold by the Prophet.

But no one is competent to set its timing. It is not a human programme. Hence, it is not for human to decide. When one can not decide he can deny. Here denial is not important, because to deny facts does not uproot them. 24.
