As the blessed Nights of Qadr conclude, this episode of After Maghrib reflects on a world weighed down by suffering, conflict, and uncertainty. We turn our hearts in prayer for those facing hardship across the globe and ask what these turbulent times mean for believers. From a Shi‘i perspective, we explore how periods of injustice, global unrest, and moral trial have long been described in our traditions as part of the tests preceding the return of Imam al-Mahdi (aj). Together we reflect on current events—including tensions and war surrounding Iran—and discuss how a believer should interpret such moments: not with fear or speculation, but with patience, awareness, and renewed hope in divine justice. In times of darkness, the promise of the Imam reminds us that oppression will never have the final word.
