Why should we pray if Allah’s consent is with the abs disappearance of Imam Mahdi?
At no time Allah’s consent was with the occultation of Imam Zaman (May our lives be sacrificed) but it is his wish.
We should make out the difference between his consent and his wish. If we can make out the difference between these two things, we can solve and unravel the most difficult questions regarding our faith and believes.
As we know that with the absence of Imam Zaman (ATFS) injustice, tyranny will spread all around the world, and Allah will never agree upon injustice and tyranny encompassing the world. Since, he is informed about tyrannies upon the oppressed people of the world.
These are not based on the Allah’s consent and satisfaction, rather based on the wish of Allah and the acts of the people, and if people rectify their ways, Allah will transform what he wishes for them.
«إنّ الله لا يغير ما بقوم حتي يغيّروا ما بأنفسهم»
“Indeed Allah does not change a people’s lot, unless they change what is in their souls” (Al-Raˈd:11)
To clear the difference between the consent of Allah and his wish we will explain it to you through an example:
If the parents of a child take him to a hospital and allow the doctors, to perform an operation with knifes and blades although this has their consent but they will never wish this would have had happened. Truly, they would have wanted that their child would have remained in good health and would not have had any need for a hospital or an operation.
Allah’s consent is in the guidance of the people and they should not harm each other but unfortunately, with the effect of the evils and the immoral persons, in the period of absence of Imam Zaman these evils are being registered in the history. Allah have not created man for the time of absence but he says that
«لقد ارسلنا رسلنا بالبيّنات ۔۔۔ ليقوم الناس بالقسط۔۔۔»
“Certainly we sent our apostles with manifest proof … so that mankind may maintain justice” (Al-Ḥadid:25)
Unfortunately, people went against the wish of Allah and performed injustice and tyranny and over looked upon the wish of Allah and created injustice all over the world.
