[1:43]as the owner of the time the awaited the Avenger the promised

[1:54]the last success one of his famous titles is meaning the one

[2:03]who has remained from Allah it is he who has remained from

[2:09]all of God's prophets and vice Giants on this Earth this title

[2:12]is also derived from the beautiful narration that states that upon the

[2:19]reappearance would stand next to the Kaaba and recite the verse in

[2:23]the Holy Quran chapter 11 86 then he will say and his

[2:32]vice gerund thereupon every Muslim who will greet him will say number

[2:40]two his supplications this is a book called Divine supplications it is

[2:47]published by the muhammadi trust and has over 42 duas reported from

[2:54]the awaited Savior himself yes indeed you can recite supplications narrated from

[2:57]the Imam of our time this includes supplications when in distress when

[3:05]ill and for example in Salah it's worthwhile getting a copy of

[3:09]this book and enriching our hearts with the beautiful words of a

[3:13]man who mastered the art of speaking to his creator the link

[3:18]is found below the video number three the grandmother whilst the Beloved

[3:22]mother of Imam is often remembered and known not many recall his

[3:28]grandmother lady hodeif she was outstanding like all the mothers of the

[3:33]imams yet she protected the young Imam al-mahdi in his first few

[3:41]years perhaps taking him from Samara to Mecca and was also the

[3:45]person whom Imam entrusted to take care of the Affairs of the

[3:48]Shia publicly after the martyrdom of the 11th Imam she is buried

[3:53]next to her husband and son the 10th and the eleventh imamskari

[3:56]in the shrine of Samara salaam number four the peacock of Paradise

[4:04]one of the beautiful descriptions of Imam from the holy prophet Muhammad

[4:07]sallam is Maddie is the peacock of the people of paradise now

[4:16]this points to the sheer beauty of the Imam in paradise and

[4:21]how he will stand out from the others the narration actually goes

[4:24]on to describe how his face will be Illuminating with light demonstrating

[4:29]his status and position with Allah number five standing up on the

[4:35]title is mentioned it is coming to see the follows rising up

[4:41]to their feet when someone mentions the title of Imam and says

[4:45]now in Arabic means the one who Rises hence the title could

[4:53]mean he will be the one who will raise the truth or

[4:56]Will Rise by the permission of Allah or that he will rise

[5:02]after a long occultation narrations from the salaam recommends standing in honor

[5:08]and respect of Imam when this title of his is mentioned for

[5:11]example when the famous poet mentioned that Holy twelve Imam Imam stood

[5:18]up placed his hand on his head and prayed for his reappearance

[5:26]although it's not obligatory it is a sign of respect and reference

[5:30]number six his appearance there are many narrations that point to how

[5:36]Imam al-maid Salam actually looks like some indicate that he indeed resembles

[5:41]the once said on the member from my progeny at the end

[5:52]of time a man will appear whose face is reddish white whose

[5:58]chest is Broad with strong shoulders and two molds on his back

[6:01]one with the color of his skin and the other like that

[6:06]of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam now according to Hadith from Imam al-hasan

[6:09]and Imam Imam will appear at an age of 40.

[6:14]it is likely though that the Imam will have a darker skin

[6:20]color as well due to the fact that many of the previous

[6:23]imams had mothers from Africa and a possibility that his beloved mother

[6:28]narjes was also from Africa number seven does he have a wife

[6:33]and children there are some who have latched on to some weak

[6:37]narrations and Hadith to discuss the possible wives and children of Imam

[6:41]now these are considered weak and unreliable the personal life of the

[6:46]awaited Savior has not been disclosed or revealed to us and therefore

[6:52]anyone claiming to be related to the Imam through marriage or children

[6:57]should be rejected eight his residence although some narrations have pinpointed the

[7:01]residents of Imam to be places like vitua which is a place

[7:08]in Mecca or for example in some locations in Medina his place

[7:14]of residence during the occultation is unknown he is however on this

[7:21]Earth narrations or suggestions linking him staying in a Green Island known

[7:26]as also by and large rejected by our Scholars as weak and

[7:31]unreliable however we do know that Imam al-mati's residence after his reappearance

[7:36]will be Masjid of Salah in kufa Iraq and his place of

[7:40]governance is likely to be Masjid al-kuffa in the same city number

[7:46]nine his martyrdom since it's commonly accepted through the narrations that the

[7:50]salaam will either be killed or poisoned we have narrations will also

[7:57]attain martyrdom shahada it is not established or reliable that the person

[8:02]will kill him would be a lady however Traditions point to Imam

[8:07]and Hussein Ali salaam praying over his body after the return of

[8:11]Imam Hussein in the process known as Raja the return finally number

[8:15]10 Imam salaam wanted to serve him in the narration the sixth

[8:21]holy Imam Ali salaam was asked is the awaited born he replied

[8:31]no but if I was alive during his time I would have

[8:35]served him during my lifetime imagine the value the tremendous benefit as

[8:39]well as the reward of doing things good deeds in the name

[8:46]of Imam and serving him this includes Good Deeds on his behalf

[8:50]such as gifting Salah donations or ziara to him similarly what pleases

[8:54]him undoubtedly is to reform ourselves for the better making sure we

[8:59]do what is obligatory what about and refrain from Haram prohibited acts

[9:06]but also seek to serve others and positively await his reappearance may

[9:12]Allah appearance of the awaited Savior and allow us to meet him

[9:16]and serve him [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music]
