I ask myself questions I do not wish to answer;
My spirit fights itself—
It tumbles across memories and sins dressed as happiness,
How much of me will be accepted and how much must be reformed?
In his river, I drop my hopes knowing this is the capital of my home.I desperately whisper to the curling waves, “aid me, please aid me”.
Imam Ali Zayn al-Abidin (peace be upon him):
“When our Qa’im (Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him)) rises, Allah will remove weakness from our Shi’a, and He will make their hearts as strong as the iron’s core. The strength of a man among them will be equivalent to the strength of forty men. They will become rulers of the earth and its sovereigns.”
Al-Khisal; Ibn Babawayh, Muhammad ibn Ali, Volume 2, p. 541.
عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ
إِذَا قَامَ قَائِمُنَا أَذْهَبَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْ شِيعَتِنَا اَلْعَاهَةَ وَ جَعَلَ قُلُوبَهُمْ كَزُبَرِ اَلْحَدِيدِ وَ جَعَلَ قُوَّةَ اَلرَّجُلِ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلاً وَ يَكُونُونَ حُكَّامَ اَلْأَرْضِ وَ سَنَامَهَا
