THE MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL
ASPECT OF HUMAN BEING
Just as we are aware that humanbeing is being made up of two aspect i.e. spiritual and material aspect, in this respect we must not only concentrate on the material aspect likewise worldly and bodily aspect rather we must completely be attentive and concentrate on the spiritual aspect, other wise concentrating on only one aspect and negligence of the other is also negligence and forgetfulness of an important aspect of ones existence which is the very spiritual aspect.
How much the entire humanbeing during the period of occultation had not benefited from their spiritual perspective but during the period of reappearance of the holy Imam that will be the day of perfection of human personality, the entire human society shall reach perfection materially and spiritually and they will execute their programs in the enormous atmosphere of light of information and vision.
During that theoretical and practical day, humanbeing will be purified from all filth to the extent their thought and behavior will follow the school of thought of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them) and they will build their existence with information and vision base on this fundamentals.
In this respect, the human perspective and understanding during that splendid day will be cleansed from all filth and their satanic discovery will not cause them to commit mistakes.
Base on this, glad tiding to those that shall witness that period, they will be obedient to that great man during the period of his reappearance just as they have followed and obeyed him during the period of occultation. Infact this reality has been stressed in the statement of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them).
The narration which expounds this reality and has also expressed the nature of the luminous period of reappearance of Imam has important points that are duty bound upon humanbeing to be acquainted during the period of occultation and has also explained their practical program during the gloomy period before the reappearance of the holy Imam. The same narration has also expounded the happy and joyful situation of the followers of the school of thought of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them).
Imam al-Sadiq (Peace be upon him) has narrated from the holy Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family):
«طوبى لمن أدرك قائم أهل بيتي وهو مقتد به قبل قيامه، يتولّى وليّه ويتبرّأ من عدوّه، ويتولّى الأئمّة الهادية من قبله، أولئك رفقائي وذوو ودّي ومودّتي وأكرم أُمّتي عليّ».
"Glad tiding to those who meet with the riser (al-Qa'im) from my holy household and those who follow him before his rise, he pay allegiance to his friends and disloyalty to his enemy, he pay allegiance to the holy guided Imams before him, those are my companions, the possessor of my love and they are the best among my nation before me"[1]
Base on this, the level of ones perception and understanding must reach an extent that can detect those who claimed to be the friends of the holy Imam from those who eat with the daily prize of bread and to exchange the betrayals of Imam of the time (May our souls be sacrifice for him) who has claimed to be his friends with the servants of the honourable Imam.
Even though the narration we have quoted is concerning the luminous period of reappearance of the holy Imam but it has also expounded the important duties and the practical program during the occultation period, but very unfortunate that neither do people observe the responsibilities of the occultation period nor do they pay attention to it.
