Iran Press/Iran News: The holy shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad is a resort for millions of pilgrims. Iranians refer to Imam Reza as the guarantor of the deer. The title is rooted in a story about a deer trapped by a haunter. The deer was guaranteed by Imam Reza that she would go and breastfeed her fawns and then return.
A 35-person group of male and female students enjoyed the religious speech of professors of Razavi University of Islamic Sciences, including Mohammad Mousavi Baigi, associate professor and board member of the university.
Pointing to the existence of God’s proof on earth, he said: “The first man was proof of God by himself and the story continued after him. There has never been a time in human history during which the earth was empty of God’s proof.”
He added: “According to our religion, the highest and most perfect messenger of God is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and there has been no other prophet after him; everything that is necessary to guide human beings has been brought by the Prophet (pbuh) of Islam.”
“End of prophethood and revelations does not mean end of proof of God; rather, the reason for each of which is different. We believe Imam Mahdi (AS) was born and he has a physical emergence. God has given him long life so that he could reappear at a proper time and does what he is supposed to do”, he added.
Mousavi Baigi said: “Philosophically and theologically speaking, when a person becomes perfect in this world, death befalls on him. Imam Mahdi’s perfection is not for him but for the evolution of creation and people.”
He evaluated boosting wisdom and knowledge of God’s religion as a duty heavier than simple religious duties. “Imam Mahdi (AS) wants knowledgeable and wise Shia Muslims in his absence.”
According to him, the worst and biggest oppression against Imam Mahdi (AS) is committed by some Muslims who misrepresent him and have misconceptions about his reappearance.
