Forty Discourses from Imam Mahdi (as)
ÇÑÈÚæä ÍÏíËÇð

1. Indeed the divine destinies will never be over whelmed & overcome & the divine will does never get rejected & nothing can supersede the divine grace.1
1- ÇóÞÏóÇÑõ Çááåö áÇó ÊõÛóÇáóÈõ ¡æóÇöÑóÇÏóÊõåõ áÇó ÊõÑóÏøõ¡ æóÊóæóÝöíÞõåõ áÇó íõÓÈóÞõ 
. (ÇáÈÍÇÑ Ì53 191 )
2. Allah has not created the creations as futile & in vain. & has not let them go aimless & purposeless. 2
2- «
...Çöäøó Çááåó ÊÚÇáی áóã íóÎáõÞö ÇáÎóáÞó ÚóÈóËÇð æóáÇ Çóåãóáóåõã ÓõÏیøó...» (ÈÍÇÑÇáÇäæÇÑ Ì53 194 )
3. Allah raised Mohammed (S) as beneficence for the worlds & completed His favors with him & ended the (series of) Apostles by him. And sent him toward all the people (for their guidance). 3
3- « ... ÈóÚóËó ãõÍóãøóÏð óáøóی Çááåõ Úóáóíåö æóÂáöåö ÑóÍãóÉð áöáÚÇáóãíä æóÊóãøóãó Èöåö äöÚãóÊóåõ æóÎóÊóãó Èöåö ÇóäÈöíÇÁóåõ æóÇóÑÓóáóåõ Çöáóی ÇáäøÇÓö ˜ÇÝøóÉ...» (ÈÍÇÑÇáÇäæÇÑ Ì53 194 )
4. He (SWT) says "AUF LAM MEEM (Çáã) Do men think that they will be left alone on saying we believe, & not tried?"
So he says: ',How people have undergone test & trial & how do they wonder around In astonishment & bewilderment sometime to the left & some times to the right. They have been detached from their religion or involved in doubts (ambiguity) or have become the enemy of the right. Or they are ignorant of the true traditions & correct prophecies & information’s. Or they intentionally forget what they know. Do know it that the earth never gets empty & void of authority (argument) of Allah (the Prophet or Imam) whether he is evident & apparent or hidden & concealed (from the eyes) (Chapter: decree from the master (Imam) of the age.) 4

5. Have you not heard the word of Allah that ",O believers obey Allah & the Prophet (S) & those In authority from among you". Has Allah ordained anything except what is stable & constant up to the day of resurrection? Do you not see that Allah made shelters for you to seek refuge & flags to get guided right from the age of Adam (as) to the previous Imam (i.e. Imam Hassan Askari (as).
Whenever a flag disappeared another flag appeared. And when one star disappeared another star rose. So when Allah turned his soul back toward Himself you presumed that Allah disconnected the medium between Himself & His creations. Nay, never at all has or would this happen till the dooms day, & the order of Allah gets manifested, where as they the (infidels) dislike it. 5

6. The past (Imam Hassan Askari) crossed over the way of his fore fathers with great prosperity, & success, & disappeared from the sights. He followed the conduct of his ancestors with great exactness & similarity and led his life without any difference. His testament & knowledge. & the one who is his successor & follows the same program & way exists among us. And nobody ever disputes his place & office with us except the cruel sinner. And the one except us who proclaims the post of Imamate is an infidel. And if it was not that Allah's order is not to be subdued and His secrets are not to be revealed I would have manifested to you my right in a way that your minds would have glowed & your doubts would have cast off but only that which Allah desires takes place. And there is a fixed time for everything therefore, be pious & be obedient to us. 6
