Appearance and introduction. A comprehensive collective movement…! By “Hassan Al-Rubaie”

It is apparent from the narrations that speak about the requirements for the appearance of the Master of the Age, Imam Mahdi, peace be upon him, that there must be individuals with a high level of readiness in terms of belief, culture, psychology, and body, as well as the competencies that possess the knowledge and experience required for the necessary support and assistance to establish the matter of the Qa’im (peace be upon him).

There is a question: Is it required and sufficient that the preparatory movement be an individual movement, i.e. that each individual reforms himself in isolation from others, or is the preparatory process a collective process?

Considering the Mahdist state project, we conclude that it is a broad and comprehensive project for all areas of life, and does not stop at the individual aspects of life; rather, it includes the public system and public life from government and systems and so on.
He, peace be upon him, said: “…fills it with justice and equity…” This does not only mean filling places and countries, but rather includes all aspects of life in all its forms. This assumes the existence of competent individuals in all of these fields.
Then the obstacles that prevent his (peace be upon him) coming and that may face his project after his blessed coming are not only individuals, but also countries, systems, groups, and even deviant, unjust, and tyrannical nations. Is it possible, I wonder, to remove these obstacles and confront them individually? … Even the narrations that spoke about his companions spoke about them as having everything he aspires to, so he does not need to re-prepare them after his appearance, as they (… will suffice him in whatever he wants from them…). So, it is concluded that the preparation is a collective work, and part of the preparation movement is the preparation and equipping of the companions. So, who is leading the preparation process? It goes without saying that ideological affiliation is not enough, because if it were the condition, the exit would have been from an ancient time. Rather, unity and gathering are within the framework of work and pouring effort into the preparation project, not randomly, but in an organized manner that has a leadership and a system. So, who is the leader of this movement and this system?
(As for the incidents that occur, refer to the narrators of our hadith…) The leader of the movement of the preparers is the deputy of the Imam, and in our belief, the Guardian Jurist is the leader of this collective and unified movement that carries a longing for Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him). He is the one who takes care of the groups, individuals, knowledge, scholars, agencies, and institutions that work to prepare to receive and bring the Imam from his occultation with what is needed of individuals, agencies, and institutions with competence, skills, and readiness to begin the reform movement for the world under the banner of the Imam (peace be upon him), then build and manage the state of divine justice on all the earth, God willing.
The meeting of hearts is the very meaning of unity and gathering, and the basis of unity is the fulfillment of the covenant to the Imam (peace be upon him), that is, their gathering on the issue of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him). May God guide us and you to sincerity of intention and steadfastness in the covenant and grant us the meeting of hearts, love, cooperation in work and integration in the path.
