The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

Descriptions of the Age of Aquarius and predictions based on it have no scientific validity and are considered a form of shirk (associating partners with God). We are now approaching the end of time and the appearance of the Saviour. With his appearance, human intellect will advance, and knowledge and spirituality will flourish.

Answer by Master Ali Saei (Abdullah Meshkat)

The idea that we are entering the Age of Aquarius, and the descriptions associated with it, has been influenced by the views of certain traditional and modern astrologers, cosmic mystics, star worshippers, fortune-tellers, and ideologically driven cosmologists. It has no scientific validity or basis.

The Age of Aquarius (the Water Bearer, or Dolu) is founded on a constellation and one of the twelve zodiac signs, and has taken shape according to that same outlook.

⁉ A reminder:

Appealing to cosmic forces is a form of associating partners with God, the One, the All-Conquering.

We are now in an age near the end times, an age approaching the advent of the Saviour—a time when the people of the earth will be delivered from oppression, unbelief and godlessness. It is an age in which the world is being prepared to welcome God’s trust on earth, and in which the religion will begin to flourish and the fruits of the sacred Muhammadan way will ripen.

Humanity’s vibrations can change, and people’s minds, thoughts and actions can be transformed and elevated, only with the advent and presence of God’s Proof. His God-given hand will raise the understanding of the people of the world.

Love, knowledge and spirituality can flourish only through a powerhouse of knowledge and wisdom. That mighty divine powerhouse awaits the awakening of humanity to welcome his blessed arrival.

His blessed being is the source of goodness and blessing for earth and heaven.

He is that very reality: the supreme star, the twelfth sign, the highest galaxy, and the gateway to the transformation, adornment and elevation of the world and its people.

Families joined in soul, spirit and faith, and rich in spiritual energy, will come into being only through hearts united in faith and piety—not through changes in the positions of the stars, the movement of galaxies or the alignment of the heavenly bodies. Their time will come with the advent of the father of thirsty, ardent souls.

New relationships, the emergence of wondrous sciences, and the breaking of hollow, matrix-like structures will be possible only through the wellspring of knowledge and mercy. When the divine light dawns, awakened and eager souls will embrace it, and the age of illumination will begin.
