PROOFS OF IMAM AHMED A.S AND THE END TIMES

Thus will Allah show them their own deeds as anguish for
them, and they will not emerge from the Fire”. 2 Al-Baqara :
167. This is further elaborated by Imam Al-Saadiq (as) as he
wisely said:"Becareful of Taqleed (copying scholars) for
whoever copies someone in his religion has perished for Allah
says in the Quran "They took their Rabbis and monks as Lords
without Allah (swt) "By Allah (swt) they haven't prayed for them
neither did they fast for them, but they made halal what is
haram and made haram for what is halal, so they copied them

them in hell except for one that is in Heaven and it is the one
that follows the guardian at all times.
The narrations indicated that the most guiding standard
was that of Al-Yamani (a), which means the standard of the
progeny of Muhammad (s) that they pointed at, and thus any
standard other than theirs appears untrue. Imam Al-Baqir (as)
said that "there is no banner better than that of the banner of
Yamani, it is the banner of faith and dedication, because he
calls to your possessor, so if the Yamani comes out, selling
weapons to people or any Muslim becomes prohibited, and if
the Yamani appears, stand up to him, because he's banner is
