When He Will Come

When He Will Come

Is waiting for the Hidden Imam a source of pain or promise? When He Will Come offers a poetic reflection on longing during occultation—not as passive resignation, but as hopeful anticipation demanding steadfastness. About the Book When He Will Come is a devotional allegory first published in 2002, written by Sayyid Mahdi Shojaiee. The English edition is prepared and published by Naba Cultural Organization, presenting a flowing literary rendering for international readers. Told through the voice of a fragile deer, the narrative turns yearning into a spiritual language: fear, fatigue, and flight become signs of a heart that refuses to surrender its hope in Imam al-Mahdi (may God hasten his noble reappearance). What You Will Discover

• How the deer’s flight and breathless pauses mirror a believer’s anxious vigilance in the era of ghayba (occultation).
• Scenes where thirst and mirage symbolize false consolations—and how genuine hope endures when easy answers evaporate.
• Moments of listening and stillness in the wilderness that model the inner discipline of intidhar (active awaiting).
• Encounters that test trust versus panic, showing how reliance on God reshapes fear into patience.
• A closing vision in which arrival is imagined as safety and mercy, hinting that steadfast hope is already a share of the promised peace.
