چکیده:
Imam Zaman (AS) is the savior of humanity from disbelief and oppression, the caller to justice, the upholder of divine limits, and the reviver of Quranic teachings. The existential philosophy of the seminaries and the clergy is no different; the servants of the Shia seminaries have each been the banner of expectation in their own land and era. The clergy in the era of occultation have five major duties: communication, emulation, inheritance, deputyship, and readiness. In this article, only communication is examined. The communication of the clergy with Imam Zaman (AS) is not merely a desire, as their entire lives are accompanied by his name and remembrance. Communication can be in the form of presence and meeting, for which the reasons of opponents and proponents regarding the possibility of this connection have been mentioned. It can also be spiritual communication and the relationship of lover and beloved, soldier and commander, or student and teacher, which is how the relationship of the clergy with their benefactor is.
خلاصه ماشینی:
First, a viewpoint that does not confirm the possibility of connection and attaining honor in the presence of Imam Zaman (AS) during the era of the Major Occultation and sees no necessity for it.
Although today, this is assumed to be among the general religious beliefs, in such a way that the denier of it, in the eyes of some will be accused, but great figures such as: Sheikh Mufid, Fayz Kashani, Sheikh Ja'far Kashif al-Ghita, and Nu'mani, do not consider physical connection with Imam Zaman to be possible for Shiites during the Major Occultation.
Deprivation from the Grace of Presence A group denies the possibility of connection with Imam Zaman (AS) during the Major Occultation, citing various narrations.
Possibility of Honored Access (Tasharruf) Other Shia scholars also believe that during the period of the Major Occultation, the possibility of connection and being honored by the presence of Imam Zaman (peace be upon him) exists.
What is certain is that during the time of the Major Occultation, specific individuals are in the service of His Excellency; however, if we consider "special mawali" to include sincere Shiites who are not servants and upright personalities, it can be said that it is possible for some of the great ones to experience the grace of His Excellency's presence without having any claim, perhaps Sayyid Murtada has pointed to this very point where he says: لنا نقطع على أنّ الامام لا يظهر لبعض أوليائه و شيعته بل يجوز ذلك و يجوز ايضاً أنْ يكون ظاهراً لاحد منهم و ليس يعرف كل واحد منّا إلا حال نَفْسِهِ فاما حال غيره فغير معلوم له.
