INSAF NAMA
(BOOK OF EQUITY)
(FOR MAHDAVIA COMMUNITY)

Prophet Muhammad (SLM) has said: "My Lord has taught me etiquette and good manners and respect (adb) and he has taught me well. (He also taught me) the secrets of the Book." Allah has said in Quran: "(Allah) Most Gracious! It is He Who has taught the Quran. He has created man: He has taught him speech (and intelligence)." (S.55 : 1 to 4 AYA) Here 'man' (insan) refers to Imam Mahdi's (AS) zath (essence). Whatever Imam Mahdi (AS) has explained in accordance with the commands of Allah is the secret of this Book (Quran) and this secret was divulged by the words of Imam Mahdi's (AS) mouth.

Hazrat Imam Mahdi al-Mau'ood (AS), too, has said that Allah has sent Mahdi (AS) at a time when the purpose of religion (deen) had vanished from the world. He has said that the purpose of religion vanishes from the world by three things. They are custom, habit and innovation. When Mahdi (AS) comes he would demolish custom, habit and innovation, and help the religion of Prophet Muhammad (SLM). This has been stated in the book, Sharah-e-Maqasid.

Hazrat Vali Yusuf (RZ) says: "Those who have reposed faith in Imam Mahdi al-Mauood (AS), but who did not have the good fortune of being in the company of the Imam (AS) or his companions (RZ), but desire to follow his practice, should look at and study these narrations from the point of view of religion and do justice. -- Preface.
