Theism and Atheism between Awaiting and Despair
Sheikh Hasan Al-Kashany
Translated by: Mujtaba Al-Helu
There is a query that has been posed since ever: what is the use of promising the Debut of Imam Al-Mahdi (P.B.U.H) and founding a divine throne on earth? What is the use of waiting for this state? And why is there such insistence on declaring that the consequences shall be on piety’s side?
As a matter of fact, there is a set of anxieties that traps a man of God in his life from time to time. The bright side is that all these anxieties can be defused with the concept of “awaiting”, and hope in a better future.
Those problems might be:
١. Public atheism.
٢. Secularism and concealed atheism, a belief in the shortcoming of diving laws in ruling earthly life.
٣. Functional inactivity of life.
٤. Desperation.
٥. Yielding to injustice.
These critical aspects may lead a straight person astray and transform him/her from piety into atheism and public agitation against divinity.
All these issues have been dealt with through the concept of “awaiting” and the promised land.
