Ulama's Contact with the Living Imam atfs

What happens when great Islamic scholars experience spiritual encounters with the Hidden Imam? Ulama’s Contact with the Living Imam presents carefully preserved accounts of jurists and saints who, through visions, dreams, or moments of divine inspiration, felt the nearness of Imam al-Mahdi (may God hasten his noble reappearance)—revealing how divine guidance continues during occultation. About the Book Ulama’s Contact with the Living Imam was published in 2012 by Jamkaran Mosque Publications (Qom, Iran). The work compiles historical and devotional narratives of leading ʿulamaʾ (scholars) who reported extraordinary experiences of connection with Imam al-Mahdi. These accounts—drawn from biographies, hadith collections, and oral tradition—demonstrate that even during ghayba (occultation), the Imam’s presence remains a source of guidance, comfort, and moral strength.
