A while back, I heard the most heartbreaking Hadith in a lecture. The narration said that after the reappearance of the Imam (a.f) of our time, his first inaugural speech will be at Masjid al Kufa. He will be addressing masses upon masses of people outside the mosque, he will be speaking, but nobody will be able to hear him. Why? Because the people will be sobbing upon seeing his blessed face, in awe of his presence and beauty, in disbelief that their saviour has finally arrived.
I imagined the scene. Cameras everywhere, a beautiful man standing outside a mosque, millions and millions of people gathered together in anticipation, his lips moving but the only audible sound being that of people's wailing and crying. Just wanted to break your hearts too.
ah...the long awaited moment.. may we be amongst them.
