All the movement that humanity has made in the shade of the teachings of the prophets throughout these centuries, have been a movement toward a wide asphalt road that stretches toward a higher purpose in the time of Imam Mahdi (aj). And mankind shall move along that path. It’s as though a group of people are moving through the mountains, valleys, difficult terrains, swamps, and deserts with the guidance of prophets in order to reach the main road.
