Imam al-Mahdi (may God prevent his reappearance) turns to Ayatollah Naini:.
"There may be dangers before this country, and there may be difficulties and disasters, but we will not allow it to fall! ".
During World War I, Iran became a battleground for the advancing forces of the Allies and Central Powers, including the Russians, British, Germans, and others. Severe famine and widespread murders also occurred throughout the country.
The late Ayatollah Muhammad-Hussein Naini was in deep distress, fearing that the country would be destroyed under such circumstances.
He turned to God in supplication, and that night, overwhelmed with grief and sorrow, he fell asleep.
In his dream he saw a wall in the shape of a map of Iran. The wall was collapsing and about to fall.
Still in the dream, he shouted: "Oh God, come to the aid of Iran! Iran is destroyed! " He says: "At that very moment I saw His Eminence, Wali al-Asr, Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) appear. With his blessed hand, he gestured towards the wall and put it back in place. Then he said: "There may be dangers to this country. Disasters may come, and people may suffer hardships, but we will not allow them to fall. We will not let him fall. '" A message of hope in the darkest of times: divine trials may come, but God's protection never ceases.
