The material advantage or political end has tempted one to say what he himself knows is untrue, to write what he himself well knows is false, to reject where acknowledgement is due and to acknowledge where it should be repelled, to create doubts if not he himself doubts in the Divinity, in the unseen causes and the invisible universe, in the purity of Imams and the prefect ness of their office, in the Absolute tributes of the Almighty shows the shallowness which is in itself a proof that there is no fish because there is no depth.
The mysticism, Islamic issues and the Mahdism all should be wairell off because there is delay in the appearance of Mahdi. The writer should ponder a little and think as to where he stands in relation to his own conscience. A researcher can not believe the faith of a sect, or a religion of a multitude or trifles and superfluous ‘hear-says’.
He should turn that heavy rock which is kept as a door to hide the truth, instead of sweeping the ground only to be blinded by the dust, and to say he sees only dust. This is his own failure not the religion’s shortage. In the end the writer has dwelt on the ‘RAJ’YAT’ or ‘the return’ based very much on the narration of Mufazzal Bin Omar. Here we only suffice on three points and will not ad to the length of this article.
The belief in the Imamate of the twelfth Imam, Mahdi, and in his reappearance is not concomitant with the belief in the return (RAJ’AT) of all dead ones. May be one has belief in Mahdism and not in the ‘RAJ’AT’ (the return of the dead ones). On the other hand both these beliefs have a Quranic ground and the Prophet’s (SAW) words.
The Imamate of the twelve Imams and the salutary of Mahdism is a thing particular and especial that constitutes a fundamental, and forms a pillar in the principles of the religion. The two matters - Mahdism, Imamate and the ‘RAJ’AT’ have no interwoven course, nor does one depend on the other for support. ‘RAJ’AT’ that is the return of the dead back to this world is not a Shia belief or a Shia fundamental; but it is purely an Islamic issue - common to Shias and Sunnis as well.
The Quranic verses predict it and in this, both sects, Shia and Sunni, equally share. “And the day we resurrect from every nation groups from those who belied our signs while they despise.” “And we will resurrect them not letting one go.” That the details of ‘THE RETURN’ was not based on authentic narration are void.
