The Twelfth Imam - Bayani perspective

The Twelfth Imam lived during the entire period of the Minor Occultation (874 CE to 941 CE) until the beginning of the Greater Occultation just after the passing of the 4th gate, Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali ibn Muhammad al-Samarri (ر), in 329 AH/941 CE when He Himself ascended to the realms of Divine Power, Eternal Subsistence and Glory. He archetypally and metaphysically Returned, first, into the Primal Point and then, second, into the 18th Letter of the Living, Quddus! This is the Bayani position on Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-'Askari, the 12th Imam (ع). The bahaim, beginning with their infernal founder, and in complete contradiction to a central tenet of the Bayan, but reminiscent of the nasibis (i.e. the haters of the People of the House ع), deny His very existence.
