meaning, it is not permissible to reveal it until the Qai’m al-Mahdi commands us to do so, and Allah knows best.

Similar to this is what was mentioned in the book Al-Majlis by Our Master al-Sadiq—mercy be from him—in the forty-third chapter, concerning Dissimulation (Al-Taqiya) and Fortification (Al-Tahseen), as he excelled in narrating:

By his saying: The Scholar (Al-‘Alim)—peace be from him—said:

"Dissimulation is my religion and the religion of my fathers; he who has no dissimulation has no religion."

And he said:

"Dissimulation is the religion of Allah, and fortification is His sword; were it not for it, Allah would not have been worshipped."

And he said:

"Allah has not been worshipped with anything better than dissimulation."

And he said:

"Be like the People of the Cave; they concealed their faith and manifested disbelief, so Allah gave them their reward twice over."

And Allah the Almighty said: {So fear Allah as much as you are able} (Al-Taghabun: 16).
