(2) only solution for our tragedies in the world
Previous post proves that awaiting should be accompanied with hard effort in fulfilling one's duties. Those truly living in expectation of al-Qa'im (PBUH) act upon what the Ahl al-Bait (PBUT) have commanded and avoid what they have prohibited them even if these commandments and prohibitions have conflict with their personal wish, ideas, and desires.
In this manner, they demonstrate that they are the true followers of al-Qa'im (PBUH) and are ready to take his command when he commands them. In another interesting tradition, Abu Khalid al-Kabuli narrated Imam Ali Ibn al-Husain (PBUH) said, "The disappearance of the twelfth Wali of Allah among the executors of the Apostle of Allah (PBUHHF) shall be prolonged.
O Abu Khalid! Certainly, those of people of the time of his disappearance who adhere to his leadership and wait for his manifestation are more superior to people of every era.
This is because Allah has granted them so much of understanding, comprehension, and recognition that have turned the disappearance for them into the status of attendance. Allah has given them the status of warriors of the Apostle of Allah(PBUHHF) by sword. They are the real devotees, our true Shia, and the callers to the path of Allah inwardly and outwardly." He (PBUH) then continued, "Waiting for the (relief is of the greatest relief."
The very act of waiting for divine relief is one of the greatest manifestations of relief in our personal life, even before the time of the manifestation of universal relief. This is the state in which Allah expects to see His servants at all times. The condition of waiting should be viewed as a major goal of life in this world, not a secondary or circumstantial issue. Allah wants His servants to come to the understanding that they put all their hope in Him and constantly expect relief only through His hand. Therefore, this state is, by itself, a great relief, and guarantees salvation.
Growing this way of thinking in the societies along with hard effort in fulfilling the instructed duties will also pave the way for the universal relief
