Imam Zainul Abideen to Imam Mohamed bin ismalil Imams were in concealement / hiddern / seclusion ?? in my information, they were not concealed or hiding ! please correct me if I am wrong.Munira_RV wrote: Imam Ali Zainul Abideen, Imam Baqir, Imam Sadiq, Imam Ismail, Imam Mohamed bin Ismail, Imam Abdullah, Imam Ahmed and Imam Hussain al Mastoor - time was not appropriate they remained concealed, though they did their work silently like writing dua's, marsiya's, etc..
The Mastoor Imams were in seclusion for around 200 years and succeeding Imam Mahdi declared himself in Ifriqya during the times of Dai Abdullah Shi ( please correct me wherever wrong), wherein the Imam Mehdi announced to kill Dai Abdullah Shi !
Looks like history may repeat itself !Munira_RV wrote:Next when time will become appropriate the Imam of that time will appear and fix all zaalims. Inshallah.

Musa was a child who was bought up in feron’s household. However once revelation of his prophecy was known to him, he fought with feron and completed his duties as instructed by allah. What part of Prophet Moosa’s life was hidden knowing his duties and responsibilities as prophet ?Munira_RV wrote: All children's of the region were killed by Firaun. Why the messenger of Allah, Moosa a.s. has not stopped him and let the 'zulm' happened in his very presence? The height is for four decades (forty years) he served Firaun! Firaun claim was, "I am God", messenger of Allah, Moosa was serving to this zaalim! Remember Kufr is bigger zulm than any other form of zulm. So why Moosa remained hidden?!!! ..
There is a difference between keeping quiet to respond at a better time and to remain hidden altogether for centuries in a given position of faith and action. There is a disconnect in your comparisons

More than 800 years for time appropriateness !! wow !! that is some confidence ! we can discuss endlessly why did Imam Ali or Prophet Musa or Imam Hassan or any other Imam chose to remain discreet and waited for which time they thought to be appropriate. Another point would be, time appropriateness shall be Allah’s will. So Hidden Imam will do zuhoor when Allah wills it. No question asked, take it as a belief, because beyond this statement, there is no argument, no debate. Because if someone insists on sub-theory of Time Appropriateness , they will be labeled non bohra.Munira_RV wrote: Several similar analogies can be quoted like above. The answer to above is: Time appropriateness..
