The danger of apostasy of the awaiting people of the Promised Mahdi (PBUH):
The birth of Imam Jawad (PBUH), the ninth Imam of Shias, is one of the most blessed and propitious events in Shia’s history, because before this event, according to the divine wisdom of god, Imam Reza (PBUH) had to wait a longer time for his child. That’s why some of Ahl-al-Bayt’s enemies laid their hope on this issue and considered Imamate as a finished matter and on the other hand, the Shias were worried and were waiting for their next Imam.
But the birth of Imam Jawad (PBUH) made Ahl-Al-Bayt’s enemies hopeless and their friends happy.
made Ahl-Al-Bayt’s enemies hopeless and their friends happy.
The notable point is that one of the reasons of the prolongation of Imam Jawad’s birth (PBUH) is probably laid on this point that God had begun preparing Shias to wait for the infallible Imam since Imam Jawad’s period (PBUH). It means that waiting for meeting Imam happened in the process of Imam Reza’s (PBUH) childbearing, and after him, the next Imams prepared Shias for the days of absence of Imam of each era and waiting for his reappearance through planned programs.
