🔻Is it enough for people to be tired of oppression or for tyranny to reach its peak for the Saviour to reappear?
🔸One common, uninformed impression about the #Reappearance is that it is enough for people to be tired of #oppression or for tyranny to reach its peak for the #Saviour to reappear; and, there is no need for people to be ready for accepting #justice.
🔸However, forming a just government among people who are only tired of oppression but cannot tolerate justice will not be a lasting government at all.
🔸When people insisted the Commander of the Faithful, Ali (‘a), accept the caliphate, the Imam refused. The basic reason for his refusal was that although people were tired of oppression, they did not want justice. They could not understand justice and its necessities, nor could they tolerate them. There is a great difference between these two.

🔻Do all kinds of seeking of rights prepare for the Reappearance?
🔸There is a difference between being after our own right, or pursuing #rights and #justice. Many, who claim to be pursuing rights and justice, are in fact after their own right. They are not really heartbroken over rights and justice. They talk about rights and justice and are willing to spend for these to the extent that their own right and benefit is concerned.
🔸This kind of seeking of rights is useless. In the same way, when they talk about human rights in the west, the purpose and result is strengthening people’s selfishness, not ensuring their rights.
