S16E6: Preparing for the Signs of Imam Mehdi (AS): Lessons from the Story of Pharaoh and Prophet Musa


Listen Later

As believers, we know that Imam Mehdi (AS) will come and bring justice to the world. We are aware that he will come with signs that will indicate his arrival. However, the question remains: will everyone accept his signs when he shows them? This is a thought-provoking question because history has shown that signs alone are not enough to convince people.

To understand this better, let us reflect on the story of Prophet Musa (AS) and Pharaoh, as mentioned in Surah At-Taha. Prophet Musa (AS) showed multiple signs to Pharaoh to convince him of the power of Allah (SWT), but Pharaoh refused to believe in them. Even after witnessing the miracles, Pharaoh accused Prophet Musa (AS) of being a magician and asked his own magicians to compete with him.

On the day of the competition, thousands of people were present to witness the magic, but only a handful of magicians accepted the faith. This shows that signs alone are not enough to convince people. Even after witnessing miracles, some people may still reject the truth. Satan will whisper to them, and they will fall into disbelief.

Similarly, when Imam Mehdi (AS) comes, he will show us his signs. However, not everyone will accept them, and some may even oppose him. This will be a calamity for the Imam. Even though he will be successful at the end, the majority will not accept his signs like they didn't accept the signs of Prophet Musa (AS).

This is a warning for us all. We must prepare ourselves beforehand and keep our faith strong. We must strive to be among those who accept the signs and follow Imam Mehdi (AS). It is not enough to just witness the miracles. We must have faith in our hearts and not fall into the trap of Satan's whispers.

It is also important to remember that Allah (SWT) has a sunnah, a way of doing things. Those who reject the signs and do not believe will eventually perish. This is a harsh reality, but it is the sunnah of Allah (SWT). We must take heed of this warning and prepare ourselves accordingly.

In conclusion, the story of Prophet Musa (AS) and Pharaoh teaches us that signs alone are not enough to convince people. We must prepare ourselves beforehand and keep our faith strong. When Imam Mehdi (AS) comes and shows us his signs, we must recognize them and accept the truth. May Allah (SWT) guide us and keep us on the right path. Ameen.
