You might think that in order to get to this position we need to go through difficult practitioners and religious rituals. But according to Imam Baqir, it is not that difficult, “God said to Muses, ‘I truly have servants to whom I will grant the Heaven and I will make them the leaders of Heaven.’ Muses asked who they were and God said, ‘People who make believers happy.’” One of the most valuable things we could do is to make believers happy.
Destructive and evil powers for whom the epic of expectation is a disrupter of their injustices and plunders have always continued to forge Mahdilooking puppets. So as to get rid of this history-making and revolutionary idea and turn the warm hope of the masses for a bright future into despair.
The appearance of these actors in the big power’s puppet-show did not only fail to find a remedy for human anxieties, or change destructive wars into joyful tranquillity, or put an end to the tragedy of hunger, poverty and worry. But all those miseries also increased and added to human sorrow.
As an example, we will deal here with one pseudo-Mahdi namely that of Mirza Ali Muhammad Shirazi, to show that there is nothing in common between these claimants and the true Mahdi.* .
