00:00:00,131 --> 00:00:04,288
If the people understood, the night of mid-Shabaan would have seen the whole nation drowniَng (in its greatness).

1
00:00:04,702 --> 00:00:11,170
The issue of Imam-e-Zamaan leaves the mind astonished.

2
00:00:11,612 --> 00:00:25,956
If the people understood, the night of mid-Shabaan would have seen the whole nation drowning (in its greatness).

3
00:00:26,344 --> 00:00:32,301
Never in history did such an occurrence take place.

4
00:00:34,254 --> 00:00:46,051
When the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) introduces him, he uses these words:

5
00:00:46,595 --> 00:00:51,668
"Al-Mahdi is from amongst my children".

6
00:00:52,752 --> 00:01:00,312
Then come two sentences that dazzle the mind:

7
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:08,943
"His name is my name, and his title is my title".

8
00:01:10,119 --> 00:01:20,123
The name and the title of the Seal of the Prophets (P.B.U.H.) is not permissible for anyone else.

9
00:01:20,932 --> 00:01:26,613
It is an exclusive privilige of Hujjat ibn Al-Hasan (Imam-e-Zamaan).

10
00:01:27,332 --> 00:01:36,053
His name is the name of the Seal of the Prophets (P.B.U.H.), and his title is the title of the Seal of the Prophets (P.B.U.H.).

11
00:01:36,503 --> 00:01:45,273
The sentence that baffles the likes of Sheikh Ansari is this:

12
00:01:45,717 --> 00:01:53,399
"(He) bears the most resemblance to me in terms of physical appearance and moral character"

13
00:01:53,813 --> 00:01:59,125
All who have a soul, also possess a body,

14
00:01:59,525 --> 00:02:16,199
The best in body and the best in soul is the first person of existence,

15
00:02:16,675 --> 00:02:20,493
and that person is the Seal of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)

16
00:02:20,921 --> 00:02:28,558
Then he, himself, remarks: "(He) bears the most resemblance (to me)…"

17
00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:37,476
bearing the most resemblance to me from amongst all of mankind,

18
00:02:38,340 --> 00:02:48,658
from the standpoint of bodily appearance, and also from the standpoint of spiritual perfection,

19
00:02:49,158 --> 00:02:54,106
(no one) bears more resemblance to me than Mahdi.

20
00:02:54,582 --> 00:03:03,377
This is why a description of Imam-e-Zamaan is beyond imagination.

21
00:03:03,832 --> 00:03:18,130
The people put up lights on the night of mid-Shabaan, but who is the true owner of this night?

22
00:03:18,566 --> 00:03:31,404
Sheikh Toosi narrates a prayers for the night of mid-Shabaan in the book "Misbah-ul-Mutahajjid":

23
00:03:31,615 --> 00:03:40,710
(This prayer) astonishes the mind of every philosopher and jurisprudent.

24
00:03:41,158 --> 00:03:48,922
It describes Imam-e-Zamaan using just two phrases:

25
00:03:49,347 --> 00:03:56,616
"Your light bears all-encompassing radiance, and your luminescence is clear and manifest (like that of the full moon)"

26
00:03:57,329 --> 00:04:08,927
Imam-e-Zamaan is the light of God, but a light that has all-encompassing radiance,

27
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:20,047
Imam-e-Zamaan is the luminescence of God, but a luminescence that is clear and manifest.

28
00:04:20,531 --> 00:04:37,953
This is the utterance of God's chosen saint, an utterance narrated by Sheikh-ut-Taifa Sheikh Toosi in the book "Misbah-ul-Mutahajjid"

29
00:04:38,437 --> 00:04:42,022
This is Imam-e-Zamaan.
