The Savior of Humanity
Look around you.
What do you see?
Mankind is floundering in the morass of confusion, doubt and
despair. It is bogged down in a world rife with contradictions. You need not
ponder for long to discover that the powers of evil and darkness look
triumphant.
The vices of tyranny, ignorance, cowardice and greed are
increasingly breeding crime, corruption, exploitation, racism, casteism,
cruelty, oppression, hostility and hatred.
No wonder then if you see widespread injustices in various
forms: deprivation, poverty, famines, diseases, and even conflicts and bloody
wars.
Let alone the destruction of environment, the breakdown of
family and the deterioration of morality.
Although contemporary civilization appears on the surface to
have attained
some maturity in world social and political
orders having drawn form the not too fruitful nor pleasant experiences of
various ideologies and systems, these orders have so far miserably failed to rid
humanity of its miseries and injustices.
Modern accidental civilization, which is currently dominant in
the world, seeks happiness in materialistic ways.
It promotes a culture where sex and capital are
worshiped.
The leisure and ease it provides to society with science and
technology advancements, can not conceal its so many shortcomings and
weaknesses.
It is plagued with rampant social ills and evidently lacks
spiritual and moral values.
This materialistic civilization holds no hope for the
salvation of humanity.
The ever growing gap between the haves and the have-not, the
suppression by the strong of the weak, the continued efforts by vested interests
to control world markets, the on-going destruction of the environment and
atmosphere, the rapidly changing balance of power, and the struggle for the
hegemony of the world by the intended imposition of the new world order, draws a
bleak picture of the future of our world.
But is that the fate to which we should resign? Do we give
tip the struggle to defend our virtues and instead suppress our
conscience and indulge in the commonplace vices or accept these vices as virtues
of our current civilization?!
If not, then, is there a ray of hope? Is there an
end to this tunnel of darkness?
Mankind is eager for a world of peace, equality, freedom,
tolerance, and love, a world where sincerity, integrity, honesty and
truthfulness persevere, and a world where virtues outshine the vices.
Who shall redeem mankind in this world? Who cart save
humanity from wretchedness and perverseness?
Redemption and salvation are concepts is old as the creation of
man.
Almost all major religions of the world proclaim in
one way or another that a redeemer, a savior, a deliverer or a messiah
would appear to liberate the people. However, the identity of such a person,
whom holy scriptures refer to by different titles and often not by name, was not
explicitly disclosed in any religion but Islam.
Since Islam is the last of divine religions on Earth and the
textual tradition of it., scriptures is widely recognized to be much firmer than
of all other religions, its account of the identity and mission of this Messiah
is the most credible one.
This Savior is the descendant of the great holy Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him and his chaste descendants) and his name is tile
same as the Prophet's.
He has many titles, one of which is the Guided One (in Arabic
AI-Mahdi).
This great savior will come to the world when it is full with
justice and tyranny to fill it with justice and truthfulness.
He shall be supported by the Prophet Jesus son of Mary (Peace
be upon them both) and together with all believers, they will fight and overcome
evil forces once and for all.
He shall enjoy extraordinary powers with which lie shall be
able to spread peace and tranquillity and unite all countries into
one.
He shall establish a utopian civilization where universal
justice, equality, prosperity will reign in the world.
As this Savior is raised up, God shall increase His blessings
on mankind.
The Earth will produce it., minerals in abundance.
Agriculture, live stock and fisheries will grow
manifold.
The Savior with his prayers and bare brands shall, by the grace
of God, cure all diseases and illnesses- whether incurable, chronic or otherwise
- as well as disabilities and deformities.
Not only that, he shall also cure all psychological and
spiritual ailments of the time. O Savior! Awaiting for you is in essence the
worship of Almighty God.
It is the wish and desire of all pious men, all lovers
of truth, all seekers of justice and all aspirers of peace.
O' thy Savior, when thy shall appear. Humanity is crying and
calling for you:
Where is the Remnant of Allah?
Where is the Awaited One for straightening the
crookedness and dishonesty?
Where is the Expected One for abolishing the
oppression transgression?
Where is the Selected One for resusciating the
reality of the nation and the religion?
Where is the Enlivener of the facts of religion and its
adherents?
Where is the Demolisher of the edifice and
polytheism hypocrisy?
Where is the Eradicator of branches of Errors and
disputes?
Where is the Accumulator of the words o
piety?
Where is the Gale o Allah through which all should
enter?
Where is the Countenance of Allah through which
the friend attends towards Him?
Where is the Means which is stretching from the Earth to
the heaters?
Where is the Master of the Day of Victory of
and the one 'Who will spread the flag of guidance?
Where is the uniter of the companions of virtue
and divine pleasure?
O son of the masters, the favourite ones.
O son of the noble ones, the honoured ones.
O son of the guides and the divinely guided
ones.
O son of the most righteous. O son of the benevolent selected
ones.
O son of the luminous moons. O son of tile shilling
lights.
O son of the piercing meteors. O son of the bright
stars.
O son of the clear paths. O son of the clear.
Signs.
O son of perfect knowledge. O son of living
miracles.
O son of straight path. O son of' apparent
proofs.
O son of abundant bounties. O son of Mohammad!
Is there a way through which you may be met?
When shall we arrive at your streams for drink, with which to
quench our thirst for you'?
When shall we get benefit of your sweet waters, for already the
thirst has lasted too long?
May our day of separation joins the day of reappearance by
which we enjoy!
