I asked Him to console my heart. Imagine my surprise when I opened the Quran, and
this opened up:
108:1] “Surely We have given you Kausar,
108:2] Therefore pray to your Lord and make a sacrifice.
108:3] Surely your enemy is the one who shall be without posterity.”
I was numb with shock and lack of sleep. That night we were meant to go to a dinner
party, where we would meet my cousins again.
And when we got there, I went to one of them and told her, “I made an Istakhara, but I don’t understand how it answers my question.”
She told me to show her the ayat, so I did, and she went in private and looked at them,
then joined me again at the dinner table, smiling. She whispered, “Surah Kausar? It’s
one of the Surahs Allah Most Kind sent the Prophet SAWW to console his heart.”
I looked at her and imagine my joy, all I could say was, “so that’s a yes then, isn’t it?”
And this is how my heart, mind, and soul turned towards the direction sent to me by my
Imam Mahdi (A.S.), to his Yamani, and I became the Ansari of Allah. After this, life
became very interesting, I did the shahada, and started seeing interesting dreams. One
of my cousins saw two dreams about me which I can never thank Allah Most Kind
enough for.
The first one she saw was about Imam Mahdi (A.S.). She saw that he was looking at
her and he told her to call me, because he would give me the compelling evidence that I needed. The next dream she saw that I was
sitting at a table in a beautiful room filled with sunlight, and at the table teaching me was Ahmad Al Hassan (A.S.), the Yamani,
himself.
And now, Allah has granted me the honor of being one of the designers of The Mahdi
Times. May Allah be pleased with all that we do for Him, and may we grow closer to
Him every step of this Journey. Peace be upon you all!
6:28] “And We have not sent you but to all the men as a bearer of good news and as a
warner, but most men do not know.”
Allah huma sualey ala Muhammad wa aley Muhammad, wal aimatan wal Mahdiyeen,
wa sallim tasleeman kathira.
