experiencing hunger and misery. Those who want to win Allah's ap-
proval must strive to improve their own moral life and solving their
own problems; they must also try to solve the problems of those
around them, even if this means foregoing their own preferences, sac-
rificing their own comfort, and parting with some of their possessions.
However, the believers' hope of winning Allah's approval makes them
eager to fulfill these responsibilities as best as they can.
It is also important to note that, our Prophet (saas) has given us
the glad tidings that with the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as), these
difficulties and hardship would vanish and Islamic moral values
would prevail. The whole Islamic world has been expecting with en-
thusiasm for this glad tiding of our Prophet (saas) to come true. With
the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi (as), all Muslims will unite under the
leadership of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and peace, love and calm will prevail.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will prevail the Islamic moral values through love
and in his time nobody's nose will bleed and nobody will be disturbed
in his sleep. Armament will stop and the budget which is spent for ar-
mament will be spent for ease, comfort and tranquility of people. There
will be an excessive abundance and people will fail to find a poor per-
son to help. In this era when freedom of ideas, respect for beliefs and
democracy are fully experienced, there will be great cultural advances
and the Earth will be more beautiful than ever before.
In this era when the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is awaited,
the responsibility of believers is to pave the way for this blessed person
and to strive intellectually with heart and soul.
In the Qur'an Allah states that believers are responsible for sup-
porting those in need:

What reason could you have for not fighting in the way of
Allah – for those men, women and children who are oppressed
