Following my departure it will be the era of the reign of Mahdi (A.S). He too will have to deal with too many agonies and anguishes. The imprudent scholars will take the helm of assault against him. Those who embarked the spiritual avenues will be informed of Mahdi (A.S) by their Sheikhs. They will support and assist him at every critical junctures.
The dissidents will be misguided scholars as it is nowadays. A scholar who conducts contest and combat against the Thouheed and Prophet Muhammad T is not the real scholar in the Islamic venue. Because, Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم preached us:
علماء أمتى كأنبياء بنى إسرائيل “Scholars of my Ummah (community) are akin to the prophets of Banee Israeel” and too many Hadithes, bearing the same implication are reported in praise of the scholars. All these holy statements imply the scholars who have obtained the Knowledge of Yaqeen (علم اليقين) and the Devine Knowledge (المعرفة). Not those who learned the jurisprudential perceptions and peripheral theories.
The malicious movements of bewitched scholars, power and prosperity, might and main have nothing to do with us. That is, we are the real believers. We have entrusted everything to Him, the Almighty Allah.
