Once upon a time, someone saw a sparrow who approached the
fire hastily and returned frequently! It was asked, “Why are you
doing so?”
The sparrow replied, “There is a fountain nearby and I fill my tip
with water and pour it over the fire.”
The sparrow was answered sarcastically; “The volume of the fire is
too high compared to the water you get! And this amount of water
is useless for sure.”
The sparrow said, “I may not be able to put out the fire, but if Allah(God)
asks me, ‘What did you do when your friend was burning in the
fire?’ I will answer, “I employed my utmost capability!”
The point of this story:
Do we also do everything we can to help our Imam(s.a)?
During the time of Imam Mahdi’s disappearance, we must do our
utmost effort to satisfy him and to help him come sooner. Let me
describe it more. As you know, Imam Mahdi(saviour) who is hidden from
our vision will come in a day. He will appear when he has enough
followers and when the society can accept him. Therefore, those
who truly wait for him should correct themselves and try to purify
the society they live in. They should recommend others to goodness
and forbid them from doing evil actions.
We should not think how a young boy or girl like us can help such
a great man come sooner. Because if we do our best, when Allah(God)
asks us, “What did you do for your Imam(s.a)?” we can proudly say,
“We did everything we could.”
