Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 Fulfillment Of Divine Covenant ================================== Praying for early reappearance of our Master of the Time (aj) is fulfillment of divine covenant that believers have made with the Almighty Allah. This can be explained in the following topics: First: There is no doubt that fulfillment of divine covenant is obligatory and it is proved by the Holy Qur’an and accepted by reason.
The Almighty Allah says in the Holy Qur’an: وَأَوْفُوا بِعَهْدِي أُوفِ بِعَهْدِكُمْ “Be faithful to (your) covenant with Me, I will fulfill (My) covenant with you.” (Qur’an, Surah Baqarah 2:40) And the saying of the Almighty Allah that: وَأَوْفُوا بِالْعَهْدِ ۖ إِنَّ الْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْئُولًا “And fulfill the promise; surely (every) promise shall be questioned about.” (Qur’an, Surah Isra 17:34) And the statement of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: أَفَمَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ الْحَقُّ كَمَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَىٰ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ.
الَّذِينَ يُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يَنْقُضُونَ الْمِيثَاقَ “Is he then who knows that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth like him who is blind?
Only those possessed of understanding will mind, Those who fulfill the promise of Allah and do not break the covenant.” (Qur’an, Surah Raad 13:19-20) And also: وَالَّذِينَ يَنْقُضُونَ عَهْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مِيثَاقِهِ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۙ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ “And those who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation and cut asunder that which Allah has ordered to be joined and make mischief in the land; (as for) those, upon them shall be curse and they shall have the evil (issue) of the abode.” (Qur’an, Surah Raad 13:25) Second: In a large number of traditions related from the Purified Imams (as) its interpretation is the Wilayat of the Imams (as).
It is mentioned in Kafi from His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) that he said: “We are the duty and sanctity of Allah and we are the divine covenant.
