It was a sunny day outside Fatima and Ali just came back from Weekend school. Her parents said asalamualikum children. Walaikum asalam mom and dad they said. Her mother says what did you learn about today? They both replied saying we learned about imam Mehdi. But fatima was very curious saying mom do you know why we learned about imam mehdi today sister Zainab said today was a special day. Her mom said yes today is Eid-E jashne imam e zamana. What is that askey Ali. there mother replied saying today is the wiladat of our beloved 12th imam imam Mehdi

They went to Fatimas room to do homework. But she couldnt stop thinking about it she asked her mom to tell her some more. She said Fatima if you are really curious we can go to the library to find out some more about him.

Fatima went to the library and learnt that imam mehadi was the imam of their time. So he is stil alive? Yes fatima he is. Fatima said mom Where is my imam?

She said he is in hiding.

Why asked fatima? She said have you ever herd the saying the sun behind the clouds. No said Fatima. Imam mehdi is like the sun behind the clouds hiding behind the curtains

Fatima went into thinking why is he hiding. when is he coming out where will we meet him when will we meet him.

she went home and finished her homework. she was happy that tomorrow was a weekend to so she also had islamic class tomorrow so she could ask all her questions.

the next day when fatima went to class she started asking so many queestions to sisteer Zainab. sister Zainab told her to slow down and she would answer her questions in class today.

sister zainab goes ahed and points out all of fatimas questions and says this is what we are going to learn and find out today.

sister zainab says why is he hiding he is hiding because  In 874 A.D., the six-year-old son of the eleventh imam went into hiding to protect himself from the Abbasi empire.
