 Good evening dear viewers, I hope you are, as you're watching this episode, you're in perfect health. Well, tonight I'm going to talk about, in this episode, about the importance of realizing a simple fact, but a bitter one. For sure, we're all troubled to varying degrees in our everyday lives. We experience pain, discomfort, unpleasant situations, and endure and suffer, and so on and so forth. But life goes on and these experiences are replaced, at least for a short time, by joy, happiness, comfort, and pleasantness. So, our distress, our state of being distressed, is not stretched too long, but there is one person in this universe who is continuously distraught in the real sense of the word. The Arabic word for that is, who is the one person who has been, for a thousand years and more, distraught and troubled, and is continuously confronting the enemies of Allah SWT, and still defending the legacy, the divine legacy of the Prophet, and guiding people. But still he is distraught. Now, what is my basis for presenting this issue? A verse from Quran. Allow me to read it to you. Well, there's a verse from Quran, which is famously known and which is popularly actually recited when we are distressed. The verse goes, You can find this verse in Surat An-Nam, verse number 62. So, I guess it rings a bell, huh? This is a famous part of Quran that we occasionally recite in times of distress. But who is it really referring to? Who is the person meant by this verse of Quran? Now, what happened that the Imam of our time has been continuously distraught throughout these years? Because not enough faithful people followed him. Not enough faithful people truly believed in him, and too few people sincerely supported his cause. And therefore, the redemption has been delayed. His emergence has been delayed. Yet, of course, Allah SWT has promised to put an end to this age of accultation, and insha'Allah, remove this state of distraughtness and alleviate and relieve our Imam Mahdi, Allah SWT. So, this verse of Quran, allow me to recite it to you and try to make it actually, let me put it this way. It will give you a more practical sense of this verse by virtue of reciting a Hadith from Ahlul Bayt, which are intertwined with Quran. So, the verse goes, So, the translation for this would be, Is there anyone who will answer and fulfill the call and prayer of the distraught one? This, of course, pronoun he refers to Allah SWT. So, is there anyone but he, Allah SWT, who will answer and fulfill for sure the call and prayer of the distraught one, al-Mustar, thereby removing, of course, his distress. And then will place, actually will place that person, but the verse is, So, when he's actually called and prayer to God is answered and fulfilled, what is the consequence? Thereby, you, the divinely appointed Imam, will be placed in your rightful position as the divine rulers of the earth. So, this verse is actually referring to his majesty, Imam Mahdi, Allah SWT. And it is him who will one day make this prayer and call on God to put an end to this age of accultation. Now, allow me to recite a Hadith to you in explanation and to further elaborate on this verse of Quran. So, why do I say that this verse, on what basis, am I saying that this verse refers to Imam Mahdi, Allah SWT, and He will make you the Caliph of the earth, means what? So, Imam Sadiq, Allah SWT says, You can find this Hadith in the Book of Exegesis by Ali ibn Ibrahim al-Qoumi. Rahmatullahi alaihi divine blessings upon him. So, the Imam Sadiq, Allah SWT, is saying that this verse, meaning that this verse has been revealed in respect to or in relation to the Qa'im from the lineage of Muhammad, and the Imam says, he is the one, he is the distraught one that is meant and referred to in this verse. When he, insha'Allah, that day, when he will actually perform two rak'at of Salat, prayer, in the station of Ibrahim alaihi salam, next to Ka'ba, in Al-Maqam, he calls on God and Allah SWT, the Almighty Transcendent, the most pure will answer and fulfill his call and his plea. And he will remove his unpleasant state of distraughtness. And God will place him, actually, Divinely appoint him as the ruler, the rightful ruler of this earth. So, this is a hadith for Imam Sadiq alaihi salam that explains who is al-Mustar, the distraught one in this verse of Quran, and describes what happens to the Imam when he finally, insha'Allah, will call on God and God, will answer and fulfill his plea. So, also in the prayer of Nudba, we read, ayna al-Mustarru l-ladi yujabu idha da'a. So, this actually part of the prayer of Nudba reinforces my argument and this hadith, actually. ayna al-Mustarru l-ladi yujabu idha da'a. Where is the distraught one whose call and prayer will be answered? And when he does so, God will grant him what he has asked for. So, let's pray. Let's pray for our oppressed Imam, the Imam who has been left alone, who has been alienated in our time. Let's take one more step. Let's try and do more, devote more time to our Imam and try to assist him in any manner possible. And let's, in our quiet corner, shed one tear for the Imam of the oppressed, Mahdi alayhi s-salam. Thank you very much for watching this episode. Stay tuned for further episodes broadcast to you by Imam Hussain TV. Goodbye.
