هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ
“He it is who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of the truth, so that He may make it triumph over all (other) religions even though the idolaters may be averse”
Abu Baseer said, I asked Imam Sadiq (as) about the words of Allah in His Book, “He it is who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of the truth, so that He may make it triumph over all (other) religions even though the idolaters may be averse”
Imam (as) replied, The Taweel (hidden interpretation) of this verse does not apply yet.
I asked, May I sacrifice myself for you! When will it apply then?
Imam (as) replied, It will apply – Allah willing – when the Qaem (as) rises. When the Qaem (as) rises, every disbeliever and polytheist will hate his rising.
However, even if the disbelievers and the polytheists hide within the rocks, the rocks will say (to the believers), “O believer! There is a disbeliever or a polytheist (hiding) in me, so kill him.” Therefore, the believers will (find them) and kill them. (Taweel Al Ayat Al Zahirah page 663)
Mufazzal Ibne Omar said, I asked Imam Sadiq (as), “O my master! How will the rising of the Qaem (as) begin?”
Imam (as) replied, “O Mufazzal! His matter will appear in a year in which his name will be mentioned increasingly. His name, his lineage, and his title will be announced.
He will be mentioned increasingly by the rightful ones and the liars. Therefore, the argument will be complete about knowing (about him).
We have informed people about him and guided them to him. We have mentioned his name, lineage, and title, and we have mentioned that his name and title are the same as the name and title of the Messenger of Allah? (sawa). Therefore, people cannot say that they did not know his name, lineage, or title.
I swear to Allah that his name and his title will be clearly mentioned, and people will mention his name to one another. All of this will take place to oblige people to the argument.
He will reappear just like the Messenger of Allah (sawa) promised by the words of Allah, “He it is who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of the truth, so that He may make it triumph over all (other) religions even though the idolaters may be averse”. “And fight with them until there is no (more) mischief and the religion is only for Allah” (Chapter 2 verse 193).
O Mufazzal! I swear to Allah that the nations, the religions, the opinions, and the disagreements will disappear, and the religion will be (all) for Allah, just as He says, “Verily the religion with Allah is Islam” (Chapter 3 verse 19). “And whosoever seeks any religion other than Islam, it shall never be accepted from Him, and he shall be of the losers in the hereafter” (Chapter 3 verse 85). (Al Hidaya Al Kubra page 393)
