I`m orphan, I`m helpless

Mahdi Movahed-Abtahi

Imam Askari –the eleven Shii Imam- said: “the most helpless orphan is one who has not access to his/her Imam and has not educated Islamic jurisprudences”. If any shia Muslim which is know Imam`s knowledge, guid such ignorant orphans, he or she will be our companion in the paradis (Jamie Interpretation. Volume 1, Page 204).

I explain this tradition:

      Orphan is a boy or girl who has lost his or her father

       Father may be consanguineous or spiritual

        The prophet of Muhammad is the spiritual father of all Muslims [Islamic nation]

        The Quran explicitly says that Imam Ali is the same Muhammad (chapter; Al-i-Emran, verse; 61)

       Another tradition narrated by the prophet confirms above conclusion: “I and Ali are two fathers of [Islamic] nation (Ommah)”

      Now, we live in the period that the 12^th Imam –Imam Mahdi- is disappeared and we have not access to him.

Therefore, loss of Imam or losing access to him –as the biggest spritual father- is the hugest calamity of a Muslim
