" What is wrong with you that you do not go to the Ziyarat of the grave of Al-Hussain [a.s] ? Surely 40,000 angels are at his grave, crying until the day of Ressurection"
—Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq [a.s]
إذا مات العالم ثلم في الإسلام ثلمة، لا يسدها شيء إلى يوم القيامة
Your 'New Age' Is neither new Nor will it last an age.
You ride a pendulum On a clock wound To run for eternity.
Your despair has Today turned to hope. Tomorrow it will Turn back again.
The walls of oppression You tear down here Will be rebuilt There.
The meek shall Inherit the earth Then the clever ones Will take it back from them.
The torture chamber Will empty And refill.
A disease will Be conquered And a new one will Appear to take its place.
This strikes you As a bleak vision But Ram Tzu knows this...
It is your 'hope' for a better future That keeps you in chains today.
~ Ram Tzu
Allah knows what His servants want; He just likes to hear them ask.
— Imam Sadiq (as)
The Prophet Muhammad pbuhap, on the night of his death, said to Ali bin Abi Talib: “O Father of al-Hassan, bring me a pen and paper,” and he dictated his will until he came to a place where he said, “O Ali, there will be twelve Imams after me and after them there will be twelve Mahdis. You, O Ali, are the first of the twelve Imams. God has named you in His heavens Ali al-Mortada, the Prince of the Believers, the Grand Truthful, the Bright Differentiator between truth and falsehood, the trusted, and the Mahdi (the rightly-guided). These names may not to be truly attributed to other than you. O Ali, you are my successor over my family, their living and their deceased, and over my women. Whomever you affirm shall find me tomorrow, and whomever you reject I am innocent of her. I will not see her and she will not see me on the Day of Resurrection. And you are the vicegerent (khalifa) upon my nation after me. If God receives you, hand it over to my son al-Hassan, the very beneficial. Then if God receives him, let him hand it over to my son al-Hussein, the martyr, the pure, the assassinated. Then if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son, the master of the worshippers, Ali. Then if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son, Muhammed al-Baqir. Then if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son, Jafar al-Sadiq. Then if Allah receives him, let him hand it over to his son, Musa al-Khathum. Then if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son, Ali al-Retha. Then if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son Muhammad, the trustworthy, the pious. Then if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son Ali, the advisor. Then if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son al-Hassan, the virtuous. Then if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son, Muhammad, the Preserver of the Holy progeny of Muhammad pbut. These are the twelve Imams. After him there will be twelve Mahdis. So if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son, the first of the close ones. He has three names, one like mine and my father’s: Abdullah (servant of God), Ahmed, and the third name is al-Mahdi. He is the first of the believers.

Patience
“We are patient but our Shia are more patient than us, because we are patient with respect to what we know and they are patient with respect to what they don't know”

“When one, who knows Me, disobeys Me, I will assign over him, one who does not know Me, to dominate him.”
