Awaiting Imam Mahdi (aj): Calm in facing the world’s hardships

Awaiting the Faraj (relief) encompasses both the ultimate relief, which is the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (aj), as well as relief after hardship. This means awaiting relief after encountering widespread tragic events, such as the ongoing events in our world today. These events often contribute to feelings of despair and even push individuals toward suicide. Thus, those who are awaiting the relief find reassurance in the certainty that these tragic events will eventually come to an end. This sense of calm that comes from awaiting the relief, and this state of certainty and confidence in a person that keeps their heart and soul steady and unwavering, can be strengthened.
