The latest strategy designed to

prevent the occurrence of Prophecies

It is notable that after all the schemes and strategies implemented by the Jews and Christians in order to conceal the prophecies, by restricting the narration of Prophet’s Hadith[1] and his Holy Progeny, and likewise, even after all the other conspiracies laid for the concealment of these prophesies, these many prophesies have reached us from those honourable personalities, and as we have reminded on several occasions, they have proved as a source of awakening, awareness and guidance for a large group of people.

          It is evident that if all the sayings of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and his Holy Progeny (a.s.) would have reached us, a larger group of people could attain the path of guidance.

          It is worth noticing that after the spreading of a section of prophesies narrated from the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and his Holy Progeny (a.s.) between the people, as the enemies faced defeat in their plans of concealing these prophesies, they designed new schemes with the intention of opposing these prophesies in order to diminish its effectiveness in guiding the people and tried to convert its positive effects into negative ones but they ignored the verse, وَ مَکَرُوا وَمَکَرَ اللّٰہ وَ اللّٰہُ خَیْرُ الْمٰاکِرِیْن  “And they schemed, and Allah schemed; and Allah is the best of schemers”. Their new scheme was not just incapable of diminishing the guiding effects of these prophesies but it added on the failure of the Umayyad dynasty and all the other enemies of the Holy Progeny and exceeded their humiliation a hundred times.

          Their strategy of preventing the occurrence of the prophesies that had become famous between the people, was to act against them. The Umayyad rulers and all the other enemies decided to act against what was mentioned in the prophesies, so that they could possibly remove their positive effect and make the people pessimistic about them, and hence prove their falsehood.

          We will mention two instances where the Umayyad rulers decided to oppose the prophesies by acting against them, so that it becomes clear that this scheme also faced similar failure, and not just the greatness of the Holy Progeny became brighter, but the treachery of the Umayyad dynasty and all the other enemies of the Holy Progeny became absolutely evident.

          These prophesies are related to two highly dignified personalities of Shias: one is Rushaid e Hajari (r.a.) and the other is Meesum e Tammar (r.a.).

          We will narrate these prophecies in the following passages and analyse them:
