Ignoring the issue of the signs of the advent and the end times is a big mistake

Mehr News Agency – Religion and Thought Group – Samaneh Nourizadeh Qasri: One of the issues that is always talked about during important and major international events is the signs and symptoms of the emergence of the savior of the human world.

The recent events in the region and the words that were said in matching these events with the emerging signs on this side and the other side made us to discuss the different aspects of the issue in a conversation with experts. What you are reading below is the result of our conversation with Mohammad Hadi Homayoun, Professor of Imam Sadiq University (AS):

Regarding the events of the end of time and the recent events in the region, Mohammad Hadi Homayoun said in a conversation with Mehr: Reconciliation of the events of the end of time and the region is an issue that has existed in the society for many years. After the Islamic revolution, the issue of implementation has been raised in Iran and has had supporters and opponents. On this basis, the proponents of this issue raise the issue that there will be changes in society and these changes can be analyzed in relation to apocalyptic narratives, and naturally, curiosity and the need to investigate the narratives will begin and be confirmed or rejected.

He continued: The opponents of this argument also raise issues that such a trend has occurred many times throughout history and did not lead to the emergence of the trend, and this case can be one of the historical cases and it may not lead to the emergence of the trend later on. A question is raised here that one day the set of signs that happen in history will lead to the emergence and if we don't always adapt, then what will happen to that last case? In terms of methodology and opinion, this type of behavior and signs have problems.

Humayun stated: Regardless of the adaptation, two issues of the principle of adaptation and its flow are important. The adaptive function of signs is important and occurs when we are sitting Am And the emergence comes to us and we adapt and apply it to the conditions of the region. But as Imam Khomeini (RA) taught us, we must have a society that helps the emergence. We should guide our steps with a map that is the same set of signs of our movement towards emergence and has an instructional function.

A member of the Faculty of Culture and Communication of Imam Sadiq University (AS) emphasized: We must work from the collection I see and extract signs of the emergence of the complete map. If we had started the activity of ijtihad in this thousand years that have passed since the time of occultation, we would have access to that map today and we could have done it with proper accuracy. E Let's clear our relationship with the emerging flow and design the next step. But we didn't do this, and when we get into the details of the map, we are confused and we have no choice. I see Let's leave it, which is a bigger mistake.

He continued: For today, at least at the public level, we do not have access to a comprehensive map towards emergence, it seems that in a public space we are smelling that we are getting closer to the emergence, and of course, a flag has been placed to guide us along this path. It is in the hands of someone who is fully familiar with this map and can guide us in that direction. We were told that the matter of guardianship is manifested in an important issue called guardianship of the jurist, and we will advance and follow this path with leadership.

Humayun stated: As a result, a very important principle is formed for us. The hope and certainty that we are close to emergence and we are moving towards emergence and the further we go, the scene will become more and more difficult, and here the issue of governorship based on the theory of velayat al-faqih is raised as a principle.

Member of Faculty of Culture and Communication of Imam Sadegh University.A) Emphasizing that the advent is not that we sleep tonight and the advent will happen tomorrow, he said: Rather, in the hadiths of Imam Sadiq (A) It is stated that order the owner Lilac and NaharakEvery morning and evening waiting for the appearance be Not that Friday evening has passed, so we have to wait for a week to wait for the appearance of the next Friday in the middle of the evening.

He added: The issue of emergence is basically not a matter of time and is a matter beyond time like the Day of Resurrection. In the narrations that are reliable and reliable, we see that in the events close to the emergence of the determined time, it is clear that time intervenes from one point to the next. For example, an issue is raised that it happened 15 nights after the suicide of Zakia Zahoor, and the whole issue of determining the time is not prohibited. The issue comes back to ijtihad. Is a person who predicts with good ijtihad and examines the hadiths under these conditions considered a commoner? At the same time, the corner of the mind should be that each of these issues that are raised should not necessarily mean matching. But it should be as an action plan.

In the end, Homayun said: The analysis of these cases completely depends on whether the set of signs and symptoms of emergence is viewed as adaptation or as a program. If we look at it as a plan, naturally, the plan has timing, failure and success, and it can be evaluated. This shows that we have to go with the plan and with accurate knowledge towards the implementation of the plan. But if we look at it as adaptation, when it doesn't happen, it's a problem no We become a hope. The signs are the action plan and if we don't know how to read maps, the elders and guardians of our society will do this map reading.
