Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Golden Era of Reappearance Divine Proof ================ It is necessary that we pay attention to the following: Whatever we have highlighted here is just one dimension from the innumerable aspects of Imam az-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.), that is, a glimpse of his universal government after his reappearance. Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) is the last link in the sequence of guidance and light.
He is the inheritor of the perfections of the past Prophets(a.s), the Holy Prophet (s.a.w), Janabe Fatema (s.a) . This aspect has been mentioned in Dua an-Nudba and other reliable supplications.
In dua an-Nudba we address Imam (a.s) thus: يابن الهداة المهديين، يابن البدور المنيرة، يابن السبل الواضحة، يابن الدلائل المشهودة، يابن الصراط المستقيم “ O son of the divinely guided leaders, O son of the illuminating moons, O son of the clear paths, O son of the witnessed proofs, O son of the straight path.” Tens of such modes of addressing Imam (a.t.f.s.) can be seen in supplications and ziyaraat.
These terms not only underline the personal inheritance but also highlight the spiritual and religious legacy of Imam (a.t.f.s.). Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) is the heir of the perfections of the preceding infallibles (a.s). Perfections of the preceding infallibles (a.s) Virtues and merits ascribed to these exalted personalities are equally applicable for Imam az-Asr (a.t.f.s.).
Allah, the Almighty, has conferred a boundless ocean of perfections and virtues, which has wrecked the ship of human intellects and thoughts. (That is, to fathom their virtues and station is beyond human understanding). Who is the Divine Proof? Indeed, this is a critical question that needs to be addressed. The (innumerable) traits of sunlight (that is, Allah’s proof) cannot be descried by a particle. There is only one way and that is to seek its description from the sun itself.
