Knowing the Truth of Ourseleves (First Section) “Do they not contemplate within themselves? “(Rum-8) “O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves “(Maedeh,105) And we cannot achieve it unless with the knowledge of the truth of ourselves. 

The only way to manage ourselves(desires) is to know the truth of ourselves. Imam Ali(A.S.): The greatest wisdom for the human beings is the knowing the truth of ourselves.(Qorarol Hekam, v.2, p.90) Imam Khomeni(RA): (referring to Al-araf Surreh, verse 143) We cannot see God by our eyes. So He says to Prophet Moses(A.S.) that you never see me. But if he enters the truth of the world and get rid of this veil of nature, he could witness the Truth.(The interpretation of Quran received from Imam Khomeni’s writtings, v. 3. P. 422) When we understand the truth of ourselves we find the montain which is a symbol of the world being destroyed(with the use of verse 143 of Al-araf) in front of our eyes. 

Then we would see His manifestations by entering the truth of the world by our heart, inshallah From Imam Khomeini's poems: The sweetheart's love is our secret The lovers' visit is the result of this secret

 Flying toward the Lord …إِلَیْهِ یَصْعَدُ الْکَلِمُ الطَّیِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ یَرْفَعُهُ…(فاطر 10) ...To Him ascends good speech, and righteous work raises it... (Fatir 10)(Surah 35) If our hearts get pure and deeds be righteous, with speech and hearing or reading or thinking about pure, good, and neat things, our spirits and souls fly toward Imam Mahdi (AJ) and accordingly toward God. If our goal in life is truly serving Islam, then God will expand for us our breast [with assurance] and gets us on a light from Him. أَفَمَن شَرَحَ اللَّهُ صَدْرَهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ فَهُوَ عَلَى نُورٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِ فَوَیْلٌ لِّلْقَاسِیَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مِّن ذِکْرِ اللَّهِ أُوْلَئِکَ فِی ضَلَالٍ مُبِینٍ(زمر 22) So is one whose breast Allah has expanded to [accept] Islam and he is upon a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah . Those are in manifest error. (Zumar, 22) (Surah 39) وَ نَطَقْتُ حینَ تَعْتَعُوا، وَ مَضَیْتُ بِنُورِ اللّهِ حینَ وَقَفُوا…( خطبه 37- نهج البلاغه) I spoke when others remained mum. I stroke with Divine light when others remained standing. (Sermon 37, Nahjul Balaghah) وَ کُنْتُ اَخْفَضَهُمْ صَوْتاً، وَ اَعْلاهُمْ فَوْتاً. فَطِرْتُ بِعِنانِها... ( خطبه 37- نهج البلاغه) I was the quietest of them in voice but the highest in going forward. (Sermon 37, Nahjul Balaghah) Good deeds and words are the virtues causing us fly toward the Lord. Oh cypress tree in goodness garden, cast a shadow over me so that my soul in the world gets ready to fly

Live in the Age of Arrival now! Imam Sajjad (AS): " The people who live in Absence Time of Imam Mahdi (AS) and believe in his Imamate and leadership and are waiting for his Appearance and uprising are superior than the people of any other era, because the Almighty Allah has granted them such wisdom, understanding and cognition that his Absence is the same as his appearance. (For awareness and cognition, they consider Imam Mahdi(AS) Absence like his appearance" Whenever you think about the point that with his arrival your spiritual matters and temperaments will get rectified, know that: You can easily imagine that he is arrived. In this case, for you, his absence will be like his appearance and then your behavior, speech, and action will be set accordingly. (Behavior and action fit arrival dignity). From Imam Khomeini’s poem: Wherever you go, you can find indication of his goodness there Wherever you prostrate, place of worship is beautiful there

The Story Is the Story of Union He mediates to unite the servant with God. He lengthen it to the extent that we appreciate and not waste it. By “he” I mean our master (Imam Mahdi (AJ)). With all disgrace and shame, you feel pleasure when he mediates. He helps you insofar as you catch the knob. Shows you the way so that you trust in God, gain self-confidence, and can apprehend and comprehend him by heart. Then, you understand that the goal of creation is to unite with God. مَن جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَیْرٌ مِّنْهَا وَهُم مِّن فَزَعٍ یَوْمَئِذٍ آمِنُونَ (نمل-89) Whoever comes [at Judgment] with a good deed will have better than it, and they, from the terror of that Day, will be safe. (Al-Naml 89) (Surah 27) Yes, the prerequisite is to do good and be righteous. One day will come a day you open the door and pull the curtains aside so that we sacrifice ourselves in front of you. (From Imam Khomeini’s poems)

 Mission of Arbain Walkers Ayat-allah Bahjat said: We have in a hadith that when Imam Mahdi (PBUH) comes he will call people all over the world with five sentences: O 'people of the world my Ancestor Hussain (PBUH) was martyred parched, O 'people of the world my Ancestor Hussain (PBUH) was trampled vindictively. By Imam hussain (PBUH),Imam Mahdi (PBUH) will introduce himself to all world… So at that time people all over the world should know Imam Hussain (pbuh)… But today all people don't know who Hussain (PBUH) is, and this is our fault because we haven't announced for Imam Hussain- (PBUH) that our voice reaches all over the world. Hiking of Arbaeen is the best occasion for introducing Imam hussain (PBUH) to all world. Introducing Imam Hussain (PBUH) to all world would be possible in two ways: 

1. We should be trustful We; Shias and followers of Imam Hussain (PBUH) should act our beliefs and announces, it means to be hussainy (following him) in all aspects like speech and task (Specially during arbaeen hike) And say [praying ]:" O, my Creator and Nurturer! Grant me favour that I enter my duty with truth and fulfill it with truth[ to attain Allah's Pleasure]And grant me from Your Own Presence An authority to support me [ in my Mission ]."(Al-Asra,Ayat 80) This is order of GOD that we should ask him grant us continual and complete trustfulness, insight and obvious proof, to be always in our assistance. 

2.we should announce to all world: (labbayl ya Hussain, labbayk ya Mahdi) Imam Hussain's son will come and vain will be destroyed so we should strive at service of his reappearance powerfully and with all our asset, may GOD wants. و قل جاء الحق و زهق الباطل ان الباطل کان زهوقا(اسراء-81) And say] proclaiming: [" Truth succeeded And Falsehood perished. surely Falsehood is ever bound to vanish."(Al-asra80) All world should know that, in Arbaeen, we are determined Imam Hussain's mourners who hike Najaf to Karbala, having hope of Imam Mahdi's reappearance.

The Ashuraian Wailings (Nudbah) The “Nudbahs” of Imam Hussain household (A.S.) after Ashura, vs. Imam Sadeq (PBUH) “Nudbahs”: Imam Hussain (PBUH) has left his Haj unaccomplished and departed for Karbala: Tell the caravan to return from Ka’ba, we had met the sweetheart out of the house in revelation. Why do you say “Labbayk”? O, unaware seekers, we had heard his “Labbayk” to the goblet in private. Of Imam Khomeini poems. [بکاسه و بیده] Some were slain, some were held prisoners, and some were sent to distant foreign lands [فقتل من قتل و سبی من سبی و اقصی من اقصی] After Ashura, Imam Hussain household (A.S.) were brought to captivity and were forcibly taken from one abode to the other, alley to alley, plain to plain, and desert to desert. How? With weeping and tears, while wailing and crying “Ya Muhammada!” have they lamented… [فلیبک الباکون و ایاهم فلیندب النادبون و لمثلهم فلتذرف الدموع و لیصرخ الصارخون و یضج الضاجون و یعج العاجون] What was their whine? [این الحسن و این الحسین این ابناءالحسین صالح بعد صالح و صادق بعد الصادق این السبیل بعد السبیل این الخیره بعد الخیره و ...] In “Sham” ruins, at the time of their rejoin with the heads of the decapitated, when their tears burst, what did they say to the Savior of the world (A.S.) whining along with Roqayah (PbuH)?

 Features of the “Ashuraian Propagandists” Those who had perished, Zeinab-like (A.S.), in Ashura and Karbala, would then make every endeavor to salvage the Ummah (Islamic nation) from ignorance, even if it leads to their death. “If my feathers shed in winter as a cause of the sorrow of my sweetheart, they would grow back again in spring, for reminiscing of uniting with my beloved.” (Of Imam Khomeini poems) They would first preserve themselves, Hossain-like, from every impurity of ignorance and barbarism, and they are discerned. 

Their Features: -They believe in Imam Hossain’s path (انی بکم مومن) -They are certain about his return, which is obvious in their religious laws and the consequences of their deeds (و بایابکم موقن بشرایع دینی و خواتیم عملی) -Their hearts are deferred to Imam’s (و قلبی لقلبکم سلم) -Their affairs are in compliance with Imam’s (و امری لامرکم متبع) -Their succor is toward Imam adjutancy (و نصرتی لکم معده حتی یاذن الله لکم) In general, they are thoroughly with Imams (with their souls and bodies, with their present and hidden, and with their outward and inward) and not with their enemies. (فمعکم لا مع عدوکم) (Ziarah-tol-Arbaeen of Imam Sadeq (PBUH)

 Continuing Imam Hussain’s Path Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (A.S.) says to Allah in Ziarat Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (A.S.): “[Imam Hussain] sacrificed his soul for You to save Your servants from ignorance and perplexity of straying off.” To continue the path of Imam Hussain (A.S.) we should do tabligh(to propagate) and make every effort to liberate people from ignorance. One who wants to convey the true message of Islam to others should not be afraid of anything but Allah Almighty and must only be humble before Him. “Those who convey the Message of Allah and fear Him, and fear none save Allah. And Sufficient is Allah as a Reckoner.” (the Holy Quran, 33:39) Imam Khomeini (may Allah send blessings upon his soul) says in a poem: “I wanted to give my life for my beloved (Allah), [but realized that] my life is not mine to give on the path of my beloved.” [The translation of some of Imam Khomeini’s mystical poems can be found in this link: http://www.al-islam.org/wine-love-mystical-poetry-imam-khomeini]

 Where is the revenger of the Slain of Karbala?               أین طّالب بدم المقتول بکربلاء Imam Mahdi (A.S.) would announce after his reappearance: O, People of the world! I am the “Qaem” (rising) Imam, I am the divine sword which would exact the retribution against all the tyrants and restore the rights of the oppressed.

 O, People of the world! My grandsire, Hussain-bin-Ali (PBUH) was martyred parched and his venerable body was left undressed there unburied … In fact, He heralds the world the vengeance of Imam Hussain’s (PBUH) unjust slaughter by these phrases, and says that the time of the revenge of the noble blood of Imam Hussain (PBUH) has arrived. O, those who want to call to account for Imam Hussain’s (PBUH) blood! Those who seek to take Allah-Hujjah’s blood revenge on His enemies must be prepared (and be subservient to what “Vali Faqih” orders) (the primacy of the top spiritual leader) . (Al-Najm Al-Thaqib, p. 282) If we actually love Imam Hussain (PBUH) and mournful for his catastrophe, we must be avenger for his bloodshed, and be wholeheartedly endorse His blood’s revenger. (Imam Hussain -PBUH- has many grievers, but not many revengers) Only the revengers of Imam Hussain (PBUH) are in company with Imam Mahdi (A.S.). They would know where their Imam is. Of Imam Khomeini poems: To be of His real amorous is to ignore the ego, Hence anyone who consider himself as an existent, would not be one of them. " ان یرزقنی طلب ثارک مع امام منصور من اهل بیت محمد صلی الله علیه و اله"  "و ان یرزقنی طلب ثاری مع امام هدی ظاهر ناطق بالحق منکم"  )در زیارت عاشورا( “I ask Allah to … bless me with your revenge with the triumphant Imam, who is of the descendants of Muhammad (peace be upon Him) … and to provide me to seek my revenge with the righteous, apparent Imam who is speaker of the truth from you”. (A part of Zyarat Ashura) We would ask Allah to bless us with the revenge of Aba-Abdellah Al-Hussain (PBUH) in company with Imam Mahdi (A.S.) Different types of companion with Imam are:

 1.      Local companionship (mundane): It means to meet and visit Imam and to be beside him. (with local companionship lonely  Imam's companionship in the other world would not be achieved ).

 2.      Spiritual companionship: It means that person keeps Imam's passion in heart honestly and as everyone will be gathered with his beloved, this person will be with Imam in his conscience and Imam's name and memory will always be with him therefore Imam would be his companion.

 3.      Hereafter companionship: The best kind of companion that happens after one's being in complete service of Imam's passion In this kind of companionship person's existence is in entire service of Imam's satisfaction. So this person would be with Imam in all aspects and Imam's light would capture all world. All three kinds of companionship are mentioned in Ziarat-Ashoora. How to be ready for having all three types of being in company with Imam and getting ready for his reappearance?

 1.      To be entire obedient of Imams and Imam Mahdi (PBUH) and in present time obeying Villayat Fqih (the primacy of the top spiritual leader)  completely.

 2.      And to be examined in this passion.

Our duty in Present Karbala (Is to obey Vilayat-Faqih) Imam Hossein (A.S.), the chieftain and master of Karbala's martyrs has said: The helm of people's matters is in authority of the learned ones who have achieved their knowledge from the oracle source, and they are trustworthy to "Halal" (permissible) and "Haram" (prohibited) issues that Allah has determined. (Mostadrek-al Vasael, vol.17, p. 315) Imam Sadeq (A.S.) has commissioned: People should be prudent and choose one among all jurisprudents who narrate our "Hadiths", and are expert in the commandments of "Ahl-al-Bayt (PBUH) ", and put him at the position of Governor, since I have put him governor upon you. (Kafi, vol.1, p. 67) Imam Mosa-bin-Jafer Alkazem (A.S.) has uttered: Faithful jurisprudents are like Islam's protective fort as city's guard, who protect Islam against enemies. (Kafi, vol.1, p. 38) Imam Mahdi (A.S.) has adduced: As for the issues come up to you, refer to our Narrators of Hadiths, for they are my Hujjah (reason) upon you, and I am hujjah (reason) of the Allah upon them.(Vasael-al-Shia, vol.27, p.140) And Imam Khomeini has said: the colonialist have instilled in us that Islam has no government or governmental organization. Assuming it to have some commandments, but it doesn’t have any executive. In brief, Islam is just a legislature. The theory of “Vilayat Faqih” (the primacy of the top spiritual leader) and authority of the Islamic clergies (Foqaha), is in the continuity of the theory of “Imamah” and the government of the immaculate Imams (PBUH)… Vilayat Faqih is the perpetuation of the movement of the prophets. We believe in “Vilayah”. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) didn’t just express and apprise the laws in his days, but he executed them.

 Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the executive of the laws… this is why organization of the government and establishment of the executive is necessitated. The belief in the necessitation of organizing and establishing the executive is a part of the belief in “Vilayah”, as the combat and endeavor for it is a part of this belief. (Vilayat Faqih and Jihad Akbar, by Imam Khomeini, p.17) By a careful reflection, we would comprehend that peremptory abidance and obedience of the Orders of Vilayat Faqih is the lone way to oppose criminal conspiracies of the enemies, and if everyone be subservient to the orders of the “Vali” of their time, the disasters like Karbala would not be repeated in the history, and “Valis” like Hossain-bin-Ali (PBUH) would not be hauled to Karbalas, and thus, everything would be prepared for the reappearance of the savior of the world, Baqia-tal-lah al-azam (A.S.), En-sha’-Allah.
