Why the Awaited Reformer?

1. Religion:

A. God Almighty said:

{And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me}28 Quran Chapter “The Winnowing Winds” 51:56.

Ahl al-Bayt pbut have said that to worship means to know. Therefore, the most important task of the Awaited Reformer pbuh is to make God Almighty known to the people, and to lead them to God, for he is the guide to God and His proof upon His worshippers.

B. The Messengers pbut

The second task of the Awaited Reformer is to make the Messengers pbut known to the people, to show the oppression they experienced, and to show that they are the vicegerents of God on His earth, whose rights and inheritance were usurped.

C. The Messages

28 Jinn are supernatural creatures. They are mentioned frequently in the Quran (see for example Chapter 72, “The Jinn”). The Jinn are also mentioned in other religious and nonreligious texts–Trans.

The third task of the Awaited Reformer pbuh is to make the divine messages and legal systems known to the people, to eliminate all distortion and falsehood from them, and to show the truth, ideology, and jurisprudence that God Almighty is satisfied with.

Consequently, the most important thing that the Awaited Reformer pbuh brings to reform the religion is knowledge and wisdom, {And he teaches them the Book and wisdom} Quran Chapter “The Cow” 2:129. Moreover, al-Sadiq pbuh said:

Knowledge is twenty-seven letters. The prophets have brought only two letters and until today, people only know of these two letters. When our Qaim rises, he will bring out the twenty-five letters and disseminate them among the people. By adding the two letters, he will disseminate them as twenty-seven letters.29,30
