Parent-Child Relationship

When Imam al-Mahdi (may God hasten his noble reappearance) entered the Minor Occultation (al-ghayba al-ṣughrā, 874–941 CE), how did his followers remain connected to him? Special Deputies answers this question by exploring the institution of four appointed representatives (nawwāb khāṣṣ), through whom the Imam’s guidance and authority continued during this critical era.

About the Book

Compiled and published by Ansariyan Publications in Qom, Special Deputies presents a historically informed and devotionally relevant study of the four men who successively represented the Imam. It recounts the roles of ʿUthmān ibn Saʿīd al-ʿAmrī (d. 880 CE), Muḥammad ibn ʿUthmān (d. 917 CE), Ḥusayn ibn Rūḥ al-Nawbakhtī (d. 938 CE), and ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Samarī (d. 941 CE), situating their lives within the broader development of Shīʿī identity during the Imam’s concealment. The book highlights how these deputies transmitted letters, clarified rulings, and defended the community against false claimants, ensuring continuity of leadership in the Imam’s absence. Drawing on historical sources and hadith (narrations from the Prophet and the Imams), it demonstrates the theological necessity of deputyship as well as its practical role in guiding the community.

Special Deputies

How can the believer find light in an age when the Imam is unseen? In A Glance at the Beloved, recognition of Imam al-Mahdi (may God hasten his noble reappearance) during the era of ghayba (occultation—the Imam’s concealment until his reappearance) is presented as both possible and essential. Like a lamp in darkness, this recognition (maʿrifah, spiritual knowledge) guides hearts, strengthens faith, and nurtures an enduring bond with the awaited savior.

About the Book

First published in 2002 by the Association of Imam Mahdi, this single-volume devotional work explores how seekers can attain spiritual recognition of the Hidden Imam. Drawing on hadith (narrations from the Prophet and the Imams), it describes the origins, nature, and necessity of recognition, clarifying why it is indispensable for faith in the age of occultation. The book explains distinct features of maʿrifah—how it unfolds even without physical encounter, how it inspires inner transformation, and how it shapes the believer’s covenant with God. More than theological discussion, it is a guide for spiritual seekers to turn longing into devotion, and devotion into a lived relationship with the Imam.
