((O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and hasten their recovery))

Half of Sha’ban in lunar history coincides with the birth of the twelfth Imam of Shiites, Imam of the Fasting of God, Farja Al-Sharif. Hazrat Mahdi (AS) was born on the 15th of Shaban in the year 255 or 256 AH. Imam Zaman (a.s.) stated that he is the essence of all the prophets, saints, the speaking Quran, and the perfect human being, and that he will bring to fruition the efforts of all the prophets, Imams (a.s.), and martyrs by raising the banner of justice throughout the world.

Waiting for the reappearance of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is considered one of the best deeds in Shiite narrations, as waiting for the return of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The meaning of expectation is a state of heart and soul that comes from being prepared for something you are waiting for. So the more intense the anticipation, the more preparation there is. Don’t you see that when you have a traveler waiting for you, the closer his arrival gets, the more prepared you become for it?

An excerpt from the words of the Imam of the Time, may God have mercy on him:

I am the end of the guardians, without repelling the calamity from my people and Shiites.

I am the last successor of the Prophet of God. Through me, calamities and seditions will be averted and removed from my acquaintances and Shiites.

We are not neglectful of your observances, and we are not ignorant of your remembrance, and if it were not for this, we would not have descended upon you. The enemy

We do not fail to take care of you (Shiites) and we have not forgotten you. If it were otherwise, troubles would come upon you from every direction and your enemies would destroy you.

Congratulations on the blessed birthday of the Qa’im of the family of Muhammad, the promised Wali al-Mahdi, the master of the time (may Allah hasten his return) to you, the lovers and awaited ones of the Prophet.
