Accept! Accept!
Who is Imam Mahdi?
Imam Mahdi is the twelfth Imam of Shia Muslims and the Imam and leader of all people of all religions and the Imam of all creatures in the world, who was born on Friday, August 2, 869 AD in the city of Samarra, Iraq, and is still alive today.
He lives among us but is hidden from the eyes. With the wisdom of God, he sees us, hears our conversations, knows our hearts, but we do not see him, but we can talk to him and communicate with him, because he surrounds our hearts and all beings in the world.
His fathers are Imam Hassan Askari, son of Imam Hadi, son of Imam Javad, son of Imam Reza, son of Imam Kazem, son of Imam Sadiq, son of Imam Baqir, son of Imam Sajjad (son of Imam Hussein and daughter of Imam Hassan Mojtabi), sons of Imam Ali and Hazrat Zahra, daughter of Hazrat Muhammad, the prophet of Muslims. (Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein are the sons of Imam Ali and Hazrat Zahra, and Imam Sajjad is the son of Imam Hussein and the daughter of Imam Hassan Mojtaba.) Peace be upon them all.
When Imam Mahdi was 5 years old, his father Imam Hassan Askari was martyred by the government and he became Imam at the same age. All imams were martyred by the governments.
Shia Muslims believe that imams are chosen by God like prophets, and an imam can be an imam at any age, just as Jesus was a prophet when he was a baby and spoke in the cradle.
At this age, even though he was alive and living among people, he was hidden from the eyes by God's order, and his so-called absence began and continues to this day.
His mother Hazrat Narjes was one of the most chaste women and the granddaughter of the Roman emperor, who came to Iraq as a captive after Rome's defeat in the war with the Muslims, and was proposed to Imam Mahdi's father, Imam Hassan Askari, by Imam Hadi, the grandfather of Imam Mahdi, and they got married. .
The burial place of Imam Hadi, Imam Hassan Askari and Hazrat Narjes is in the city of Samarra, Iraq, and the father's house of Imam Mahdi is also located in the same city.
Imam Mahdi
Imam Mahdi's (AJ) existence permeates every corner of this world with the scent of justice and fairness. He serves as a symbol of hope for all those individuals who are dedicated to the pursuit of justice and truth. The anticipation of his arrival, as the ultimate destiny, is a constant presence in the prayers and invocations of people worldwide.
why do we need Imam?
God created all humans with love and breathed his soul into humans. He called man the best of creatures. He wants people to be like him and have his attributes, In these few years he lives and returns to God again.
God loves man. He gave him the power to choose between the good and the bad, and with these choices, he could cultivate the best qualities in himself and reach higher positions. He called himself the teacher of man and took action to raise and educate man since the beginning of man's existence.
This upbringing should be gradual, like an athlete who wants to become an Olympic champion, must gradually do exercises from childhood or adolescence under the supervision of professional coaches and try hard to be able to reach the conditions of a champion or when a person If he wants to become a scientist, he should first learn literacy from childhood and gradually go through scientific degrees and be trained under the supervision of professors and other scientists, try and research so that he can become a scientist one day.
Man is the same way, God's spirit exists in man. In order to educate and cultivate this soul that can develop good qualities and return to its origin which is with God, it needs a teacher.
The main teacher of man is God, but in order to make his teachings and exercises easier and more accessible, he has chosen people from among the people who can deliver these teachings to man, these people are the divine prophets.
As mentioned, the education should be gradual in order to have its effect, therefore, with a single goal, the divine prophets gradually taught the divine teachings to the people and invited them to good deeds and to get closer to God. The prophets were examples of the implementation of those teachings, and thus they were free from any errors and mistakes, because firstly, they had to teach the divine teachings to the people without any mistakes and shortcomings, and secondly, they themselves carried out those teachings in the best way.
Each religion evolved and each religion completed the previous religion and each prophet continued the path of the previous prophet and confirmed those teachings, and the religion of Islam was also chosen as the last religion and Prophet Muhammad was chosen as the last prophet and in the religion of Islam The divine teachings were completed after thousands of years, and what was necessary for man to reach perfection and to reach God was given to man by the teacher and nurturer of men, the Great God.
It is good to know that everything that exists in this world, including the sun, the moon, the stars, water, plants, animals, all of them were created for the benefit of man and his guidance, and God, through the Imam and his nobles and his surroundings, to all this Creations, including humans, is responsible for guiding them.
A very important point is that the imam belongs to all human and not only to the religion of Islam. It will be discussed in another section.
Imam Mahdi is the twelfth and last Imam that God sent to us. He is the last divine reserve. When people did not understand the meaning of the Imam and did not recognize his value and eleven of his fathers were martyred in about 250 years, God hid the last Imam from the eyes and people were deprived of directly benefiting from him and his existence, every He is constantly in charge of guiding the world.
We announce the questions that may arise and answer them in the following sections.
- Does the world need a savior?
- Is the savior of the world Imam Mahdi?
- Where is Imam Mahdi now and what is he doing?
- Why do we say My Imam Mahdi?
- Is Imam Mahdi only the Imam of a certain group or all people?
- Does Imam Mahdi care about us?
- What are the reasons for Imam Mahdi's absence?
- Is anyone related to him? What are the ways to communicate with Imam Mahdi?
- How and when and where does Imam Mahdi appear, the savior of the world? Who is waiting?
- What is the duty of those waiting during the absence of Imam Mahdi?
- Are there any signs that the appearance of Imam Mahdi is near?
- How does Imam Mahdi act when he appears?
- What will the world be like after the appearance of Imam Mahdi?
Does the world need a savior?
Is the savior of the world Imam Mahdi?
How has the world progressed since thousands of years ago? And now, are the conditions of the world better than a few decades or hundreds of years ago? Has peace and security been established in the world? Has poverty disappeared? Is there a clear prospect of a better world situation? Are the slogans of human rights implemented by governments? Is there no war in the world? Don't we witness the killing of innocent people every day in all parts of the world? Don't governments take any action to achieve the interests of their government and not their nation? Isn't there a starving child all over the world? In Africa, Asia and even Europe and America?
Evil governments have been looting the wealth of weak people in other countries and governments for more than a thousand years and putting them in misery, and then they pose for the world as human rights. They enrich themselves and exploit the poverty of other countries for their own purposes. There are still countries that are colonies of powerful countries and their wealth is looted and the people there struggle with poverty and misery.
Have the social ideologies that they created for themselves, such as communism, socialism, Marxism, liberalism, been able to create a bit of peace and tranquility for the people, or have they all been a tool for most governments to gain power and wealth? We are witnessing modern slavery. More than 99% of people in the world work day and night and go into slavery so that 1% can be prosperous and powerful. All human things are summed up in material things, and by the way, the owners of power and wealth and evil people, their goal is to make people need a night's bread so that no one will think about spirituality anymore.
When God created man, was his goal that bad people would own the lives and property of the people of the world and rule over them? This was definitely not the case. God sent prophets to acquaint people with divine teachings and even sent prophets to corrupt governments to guide them to goodness so that a society can be created in peace and tranquility and people can move towards the ultimate goal of creation. But what did they do? Could they easily give up their own interests for the welfare of the people? They mostly opposed the prophets and thought of killing or ways to keep people away from them. The history of great prophets like Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, may the peace of God be upon them, all confirm this issue.
Therefore, it is definitely God's will to create a world with peace and stability and prosperity for all people. This world must be created by the people themselves and people want to have such a world, and strive to achieve it.
This has not happened until today, and the evil and bad people are doing their best to prevent good people from reaching such a society, and will not stop at any crime. What we have seen that has happened in front of our eyes in the last hundred years, the first and second world wars and the explosion of the atomic bomb are among the most significant of them, which sent millions of innocent people to death and even today these crimes continue all over the world.
The appearance of the world's savior has been emphasized in all Abrahamic religions, and in some books Imam Mahdi is even mentioned.
Can the savior of mankind be anyone other than Imam Mahdi? The one whom God has kept for this day and promised him to come. Jesus comes along with Imam Mahdi to realize this goal and divine promise together.
But should we sit and let the world be destroyed by these oppressors and do nothing? For years, their slogan of the new world order has been heard in the world, and to achieve it, they are making all-out efforts to subjugate the whole world under the banner of their evil.
We should ask God to bring us the savior of mankind, Imam Mahdi, as soon as possible before it is too late, so that with his help, what God wants can exist in the world to be realized. A global society full of peace, tranquility, justice and Individual and social welfare. This purpose must be done by our hands and it is possible.
If we cannot do this in these days and witness the presence of Imam Mahdi, it is not clear what difficult and terrible events await us, and then we must be in the most extreme situation and ask God to send our savior.
It has been proven in the past that Imam cannot achieve his goals without the support of the people. Therefore, people's participation, companionship and cooperation is the most important principle in this process. So we should all try together to make him known to the whole world and be ready for his help from now on.
Today, those who were involved in these crimes are now themselves claiming to create peace in the world with lies and deception. This is nothing more than a big lie and deception that they have filled the whole world with their media.
They create wars to loot the wealth of other countries claiming peace and increase their power and wealth, and then mock all the people of the world.
Today we need awareness. God wants happiness and peace for all people, and the philosophy of sending prophets and imams was nothing but this. Before Imam Mahdi, people did not understand, did not want and could not implement God's purpose. God hid Imam Mahdi as his last reserve and told the people to go and see if you can create peace without Imam and be in peace. Or you should come to a day when you wish and beg that God, we made a mistake and send us a savior to save us from the burden of all this oppression.
Now that the world has reached this stage of oppression and we are seeing all over the world that some innocent people of the world are struggling for a piece of food or some are even struggling to survive, is there a need to Do we not have a savior? Do we have to wait for this situation to cover the whole world and we also fall into this difficult situation? For example, an important person in the world had lied that there is not enough food in the world for all people and that a few billions of the world's population should be reduced. Do these very bad people decide for you and me to be alive?
Before it is too late, we should think and ask God for the savior of the world, Imam Mahdi.
Another important point is that this savior must be from God, that there is no worldly motive of power and wealth in him, and that his sole purpose is to save the world from the hands of these tyrants and oppressors. Also, execute the orders and teachings of God on earth without any deficiencies.
Where is Imam Mahdi now and what is he doing?
Imam Mahdi is alive now and lives among us. With God's permission and command, he is aware of our actions, our words, our hearts and all the beings in the world because he is the soul of the world and the souls of all beings. The quality of his life and his whereabouts are hidden from us. But with the knowledge we have about Imam, we know that he knows about us. Even when he appears, some say we have seen him somewhere before.
His job is to manage the affairs of the world by God's permission, and nothing happens in the world unless he is aware of it.
Every good deed of ours makes him happy and every bad deed of ours makes him sad. Every hardship that is caused to us and all human beings makes him sad and he is waiting to come and cleanse the world from all the evils and filth and create a society full of prosperity and peace that will lead humans to the main purpose of his creation guide to reach god.
All the imams had this goal, but the people did not accompany them, and the problems and issues we are facing in the world today are the result of the people not accompanying the previous imams. God has opened the way for human spiritual development to a very high level, and if, for example, we were supposed to progress up to the 12th grade, now we are still in the first grade due to the lack of use of the Imam, even though God has not abandoned us and He has sent us an imam who is alive now but is behind the veil of absence. He is like the sun behind a cloud, which may not be seen, but all beings in the world benefit from the rays of his existence.
All the facilities, equipment and media of the opponents of the Imam and evil people are for the purpose of making him not known, and if he is not known, there will definitely be no effort to make him appear. They need him and strive for him to come. The world has become full of injustice, discrimination and oppression and we can see this all over the world. Oppressive governments want all the facilities for themselves and people are like slaves. Unknowingly, they work to achieve their desires and think that this is what life is all about.
But is it really like this? All their media advertise that we are trying for peace because they have been able to get money and power through bloodshed and war and oppression and take over the management of the world according to their own wishes. People should understand that it should not be like this and God does not want such a situation for people, but the people must be aware of this situation and know that there is someone who will come and save the whole world from this deplorable situation. This stage It is very important to know that such a person exists, and he is Imam Mahdi.
He is the one who is thousands of times kinder to us than our parents, and all our behavior in life has a direct effect on him. Yes, we have such a father, but now we are deprived of benefiting of such a father. He is in our hearts and we are a part of his divine and luminous existence.
He is like a father who is now alone and displaced and expects his children to bring him out of this situation because he knows happiness of his children depend on this issue. If our father is in prison or in a difficult situation and all he thinks about his children, should his children live comfortably?
Or try to free him and wait for him to come? Our situation is similar to this situation and thousands of times more difficult. Because he has been in this situation for more than a thousand years and he is waiting for his children to do something for him.
Why do we say my Imam Mahdi? Is Imam Mahdi only the Imam of a certain group or all people? Does Imam Mahdi care about us?
Imam Mahdi is not only the Imam of a special group, Shia Muslims. He is the imam of all humanity and people of all religions.
The conditions of the world and the actions of evil people have been established in such a way that he is neglected by people.
As we said before, Imam is our compassionate father who worries about the future of his children every moment. A future that brings eternity to man. Every single human being is the special attention of Imam Mahdi and all the good and bad events and actions that happen to us or we do have a direct effect on him.
Imam Mahdi pays attention to each person separately, he sees my actions and is happy with my good deeds and sad with my bad deeds, his heart has a direct relationship with my heart and I can connect with Imam Mahdi with all my heart. and in general we can say that every human being has an Imam Mahdi and my Mahdi Imam is always with me and supports me in all situations.
For him to come, the conditions of the world must be ready so that another imam will not be martyred again and the life of Imam Mahdi can be protected. It is the duty of humans to at least know him and pray for his coming.
We can pay attention to Imam Mahdi and know that he is present and that he is the only one who can save the world from this situation and bring the whole world to peace and tranquility. We can ask God that his absence does not last longer.
He is present in the existence of all humans and is the closest person to us after God. He is closer to us than we are, because we are a part of him.
Imam Mahdi's attention to us is an inner and complete attention because our future and happiness in this world and after death are very important to him. With every injustice that happens in the world by bad people, his heart becomes sad and he is waiting every moment for the people of the world to want him so that God will allow him to appear to everyone and fulfill his duty of guiding people to God and fulling justice in the world, but as we said, the conditions of the world must be prepared for such an event to happen, and the solution is our desire and help to provide the conditions for his appearance.
What are the reasons for Imam Mahdi's absence?
Is anyone related to him? What are the ways to communicate with Imam Mahdi?
One of the most important reasons for the absence of Imam Mahdi is the fear of him being martyred by bad people, just like previous imams because of not accompanying the people and not being aware of the Imam's existential philosophy, by governments and bad people who consider the Imam an obstacle to gaining power and wealth they were martyred. Now this situation can be much worse.
If the Imam comes and the people do not know him and do not know who he is, the same events will happen again and the corrupt governments who see the existence of the Imam against them will make him a martyr and with the power of the media they will cover the eyes and ears of the people and they insinuate that he was a bad person. God gave this opportunity to the people for eleven imams, but they did not act well, so he will not repeat this for his last reserve, and he will not command him to appear until the conditions for accepting the imam in the world are met. Imam Mahdi himself likes to appear more than anyone else because, as we said, he is our kind and compassionate father, and because he is aware of all the happenings in the world and inside people, he wants to come and save people and the world.
Another reason for the absence, as mentioned in the previous sections, is that the people could not use other prophets and imams to create peace and tranquility in the world, and God hid the appearance of the Imam from the people and told the people to go and see if you can Create peace and tranquility without the Imam in the world. Create world peace and tranquility? And well, we see the result of it in these thousands of years.
There are other secrets in the occult that this happened by God. Perhaps we, the people of this era, are the happiest people of all eras, who can help each other to cause the appearance of Imam Mahdi.
During his absence, no one has a direct and official relationship with Imam Mahdi, and no one can claim that I have a relationship with Imam Mahdi, but it is possible that Imam Mahdi may have meetings with few people that it is hidden from the rest of the people.
We ourselves can communicate with Imam Mahdi and as we said, he hears our voice even if it is from inside our heart, and He answers even if we cannot hear his voice due to the veils we have.
Imam Mahdi is not far from us, but unfortunately we are far from him and we think that he does not exist or is far from us, so let's get close to him and fill our hearts with his love. Our hearts are thirsty for His love and we have kept our hearts away from Him.
We can talk to him, share our feelings, ask him for help and have a direct relationship with him, and this relationship is not one-way and he is always with us and answers us and communicates with us. We must believe that Imam Mahdi is with us and prays for us and loves us even more than our parents because he is our Imam and we are very important to him. The most important thing we should want is the end of this thousand-year wait and the arrival of the time of his appearance in the days of our lives.
If people know what good things will happen after his appearance, they will give up their whole life and just pray for his appearance and strive for his appearance.
Here are some important prayers that can be used to communicate with Imam Mahdi and ask God for his health and appearance:
How and when will the savior of the world, Imam Mahdi appear?
Imam Mahdi, to whom I sacrifice my life, my property, my family and my children, will definitely appear with God's promise.
The exact time of the appearance is hidden from everyone and anyone who claims to know the time of the appearance is definitely lying.
God has made it possible for humans to decide for their own destiny, whether in the individual or social dimension. The most important decision and desire that human beings can have is to end the waiting for Imam Mahdi's absence and He will appear. That is why the exact time for his appearance has not been determined, and this means that people can save Imam Mahdi from his absence with their own efforts and wishes and cause him to appear.
So, the appearance of Imam Mahdi is directly related to our will and when this preparation is created in the world to accept Imam Mahdi, the appearance will definitely happen by God's will.
There are also signs for the appearance of Imam Mahdi, which will be mentioned in general terms in the following sections.
What has been mentioned in history and by the previous imams is that Imam Mahdi will appear from the city of Mecca in Arabia, where the religion of Islam began, and his companions will join him in droves, and the great movement to save the world will begin from there.
Who is the waiting person? What is the duty of the waiting person during the absence of Imam Mahdi?
The concept of waiting has various dimensions. Waiting for Imam Mahdi does not mean sitting alone and waiting for Imam Mahdi to come.
Waiting means, first of all, to understand with our hearts that Imam Mahdi is alive and he is waiting to come and bring peace and justice to the world, and secondly, to do everything we can to achieve this goal. Yes, he is waiting more than anyone to get out of the loneliness and displacement that has lasted for more than a thousand years. This work should happen with the efforts of grateful and aware people.
The real waiting person is the person who works day and night towards this great goal, and even if he is busy with his daily work, he does not neglect Imam Mahdi and tries hard to remove the obstacles to the appearance to the extent of his capacity and ability.
The waiting person should be ready to be by Imam Mahdi's side when he comes and as a soldier, help him achieve his goal. The waiting person should work for him as a soldier right now, because as we said, he is still here and he expects help from us as a soldier in order to remove the obstacles to his appearance. The least thing that a waiting person can do is to inform others about the existence of Imam Mahdi and to encourage others to pray for his appearance.
The duty of a waiting person is to avoid evil and do good deeds, try to be an example of a good person from now on, pray for the end of Imam Mahdi's absence, communicate with him and always be ready to help Imam Mahdi. To the extent that he can help others and not destroy the rights of others. By studying and researching about Imam Mahdi, he should know more and let others know him. Its only goal is the appearance of Imam Mahdi and help him because the coming of Imam Mahdi will solve all the material and spiritual problems of the world, and people will live together in peace and tranquility.
There will be no poverty, no sickness, no discrimination in the world, and peace and justice will prevail in the world. Therefore, the best way for us to fill the world with peace is to strive for the appearance of Imam Mahdi, because he will solve all the problems of humanity, so what better way to be with him on this path and consider ourselves one of his companions.
We should also know that the appearance will definitely happen and one of the certain promises of God is that the world will be filled with peace, tranquility and happiness through Imam Mahdi. He is the sum of all his prophets and imams from Adam to Muhammad (may God's peace be upon them) and working for Imam Mahdi is the greatest success and blessing that God can give to a human.
Are there any signs that the appearance of Imam Mahdi is near?
For appearance signs, there are general signs and near- appearance signs.
Among the general signs of appearance be able to name the spread of cruelty and financial, and moral corruption in the world, the loss of spirituality and the growth of worldliness and hoarding, a lot of bloodshed, the resemblance of men to women and vice versa, the normalization of homosexual culture and such things.
The definite signs of the appearance that happen shortly before the appearance are five signs, the first of which is the heavenly call, that all the people of the world hear that says Imam Mahdi is right. The quality and nature of the heavenly call is not clear, but what is clear is that the whole world hears this call in their own language.
Second, the government of a group or a bloodthirsty and evil person named Sufyani, who can represent a group or a country, who causes a lot of bloodshed in the Middle East region and causes people to suffer a lot and wants to establish his government in spread all over the world.
Third, the sinking of a part of Sufyani's army into the ground, which wants to seize and destroy the cities of Mecca and Medina, which are the holiest cities of Muslims. In the same area, his army will sink into the ground due to an earthquake or similar, and God will not allow him to take possession of the holy cities.
Fourth, the uprising of two people or two groups named Seyyed Yemeni and Seyyed Khorasani, who rise against Sufyan with the flag of justice.
Fifth, the martyrdom of a person with the nickname Nafs Zakiya or a pious person who comes to deliver the message of Imam Mahdi to the people of Mecca and will martyred. This happens in the days closest to appearance.
These signs are true and certain, but the appearance of Imam Mahdi will happen all at once, and it is not correct to match the events that are happening in the world with the signs of his appearance or to determine the time of his appearance, The reason of announcing the signs of appearance is that, firstly, appearance is certain, secondly, one who waits should always follow the conditions of the world and its events and not be indifferent to the conditions in the world, and thirdly, he should always be ready to join the army of Imam Mahdi.
We wish that by the will of God and the efforts of those who are waiting, the obstacles to the appearance will be removed as soon as possible and we will be able to see that shining sun and work alongside him to establish peace and justice in the world.
How does Imam Mahdi act when he appears?
With the appearance of Imam Mahdi, there will definitely be oppositions and enmity with him by evil and bad governments that see their interests in danger. That is why it is necessary to be fully prepared from a military point before his appearance to save the life of Imam Mahdi and to confront his enemies.
Of course, as we said before, the before his appearance happens when most of the people of the world are ready for the coming of the Savior and have prayed and supplicated for his coming. Therefore, most of the people of the world are with him and are happy for his arrival and want to help him. This excitement will arise all over the world. That's why, before appearing, efforts should be made to create the groundwork for it and introduce Imam Mahdi to the people of the world. Since most of the people in the world have goodness in their hearts, and they are waiting for the coming of the Savior, they easily accept him and believe in him.
But the cruel and tyrannical governments who know that they have to leave when he comes, will hostile to him. So first Imam Mahdi introduces himself to the world and people believe in him in droves. Jesus appears and joins Imam Mahdi, and this makes Christians easily believe in Imam Mahdi and join him.
Now the cruel and oppressive governments must be overthrown that Imam Mahdi can implement his goals in the world. This work will happen by the people themselves and the leadership of Imam Mahdi and Jesus, and after some time, the justice-seeking government of Imam Mahdi will be established in the whole world.
He, who is aware of all the capacities and blessings of the earth and the sky, fertilizes all the scientific and natural capacities of the world so that it can be used to eliminate poverty and spread justice. For example, if science has 27 branches, after all these years, only 2 branches have been discovered by mankind, and Imam Mahdi introduced 25 other branches to the people to be used for the happiness of humanity.
What will the world be like after the appearance of Imam Mahdi?
As we said earlier, the duty of the Imam and his goal is to guide people towards their happiness in this world and consequently in the life after death, because man is immortal and eternal. God created man eternally, he breathed into him from his soul, he was born to acquire divine attributes in this world by his efforts and to return to God by reaching high spiritual levels and live there forever. That's why he sent prophets and imams to teach them the right way to live and show them the way to reach the supreme goal of creation.
Therefore, Imam Mahdi forms a government with the same purpose, so that he can convey the divine teachings to the people in the best possible way. Even now, governments have a great influence in shaping people's lives.
Having economic prosperity and peace and security all over the world and not having the daily worries of life to make a living, gives a person the opportunity to spend most of his time to teach divine knowledge and acquire ways to reach the supreme goal of creation.
The world after the appearance is the world that good people have dreamed of reaching since the first day, but the tyrants and oppressors prevented it with their bad deeds and this work will continue until the appearance.
After the appearance, mankind understands with all his heart, why he was created and what kind of world God wanted for him. This is why God has promised the creation of such a world by Imam Mahdi in all the heavenly books.
A world where people live together in peace and love, and love each other. This is the world that Imam Mahdi will bring us. We must strive to achieve divine attributes, and during the time of Imam Mahdi, this issue will be realized with the will of God.
The topics that were raised were for all the people of the world to know Imam Mahdi and to make a lot of efforts and prayers for his coming.
I hope that by introducing him to all the people of the world, we can remove the obstacles to his appearance and in our time we will witness a society full of peace and tranquility, justice and prosperity that will be built under his leadership.
