The issue of the disappearance of the Imam is a great matter that makes us to understand some of the issues. One of them is: Real justice should be spread in the world in its true sense. This is a great thing. There is none among mankind except Mahdi for this task- God has preserved him in reserve to carry out this mission when God deems fit. Among the Prophets, each of them had come to execute justice. Their errand was to spread justice into the world. But they did not succeed in their mission. Even the last Prophet did not succeed who had come to establish justice, to reform man and to coach him the manners. He was not successful in his mission in his own life time. That one who will succeed in carrying out the justice throughout the world is Mahdi whom God has preserved for this task and this mission. The justice he will execute, shall not be one now in the conception of every ordinary man. His justice will not be to the extent of the comfort of the people. His justice will embrace every aspect of human life, every dimension of man's entity. If man developed a deviation in his practice or in his spirit, or in his mind or reason- to set right this deviation or turn it back to the correct one is a justice in a sense. The repudiated deviation brings back the right one in its place to create justice in man and his life. The manners of a man are deviated or perverted. To normalize the perverted thing or set right the strayed thing means that justice is brought to its track. Or, a man is made just. Likewise, in beliefs, suppose, deviation has taken place. When this deviation is steered to correction it means that justice is done to the man concerned. Justice is done to the reason and so forth. Such a person to handle such a strange and unique talk was not created. God has given it only to Mahdi. Neither in the beginning nor in the end, could one do such a thing. It is reserved to Mahdi and Mahdi is reserved for it. All the Prophets were sent for this errand. But due to some setbacks they could not achieve the end. It is for Mahdi alone to successfully attain the objective.
