The Companions of Promised Messiah, Mahdi ---- the Ardent Devotee of Holy Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) - HafizAzizRafiq - 01-03-2012
Peace be on you and may the New Year be very blessed for you.....The edvent of Promised Reformer of the Faith in in this era, the Promised Messiah Mahdi (on whom be peace) joined the latters with earliers. The Holy Quran and Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) foretold that to revive Islam, a devotee of Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) would come in his name (as spiritual reflection) to serve the faith. ‘And among others from among them who have not yet joined them…’ (62:4). The devotee’s faithful would be spiritually joined with earlier faithful.This coming was fulfilled in 1889. .......The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) also stated: Commentators have accepted that this verse [62:4] is about the community of the Promised Messiah. The word ‘Minhum’ connotes that their inner tendencies will be like that of the Companions.
Those who lived through the lifetime of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace), met him, made Pledge / Bai’at with him and had the blessing of his company, advanced in their faith and belief. They have a standing and each one of them is roll model. Some incidents of the lives of these companions have reached us and through these we have come to know of accounts of the assemblies that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) graced. As a result of the training / Tarbiyyat of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace), and as a result of the spiritual light that he had attained from his master, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) the lives of these companions were transformed to the extent that each one of them had a distinct glory. This was regardless of their social status. Their trust in God had a wondrous glory, their passion to serve religion was selfless and uniquely glorious and they deeply loved the Holy Qur’an. God Himself taught them the Holy Qur’an and bestowed spiritual knowledge on them and this illustrates their special connection with God. God’s treatment of them in every other matter was also of the kind that God grants to those who are near to Him.
The fact that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) taught them ways to solve problems and did their Tarbiyyat shows how fortunate were those companions that after 1400 years they found the time of the true and ardent devotee of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
