It is noteworthy to say that while Shi'as believe in raj'a, they do not consider the rejecters of raj'a as non-Muslim ([[Kafir]]), since raj'a is a necessary belief to be Shi'a, not Muslim, meaning the rejecter will still be in the fold of Islam. It is understood from a number of reports that belief in raj'a is a condition for perfect faith and true Islam. | It is noteworthy to say that while Shi'as believe in raj'a, they do not consider the rejecters of raj'a as non-Muslim ([[Kafir]]), since raj'a is a necessary belief to be Shi'a, not Muslim, meaning the rejecter will still be in the fold of Islam.

===The Time of Raj'a=== | |||
About the time of raj'a, there are three possibilities: | |||
# shortly before the reappearance of the Twelfth Imam (a); | |||
# simultaneously with his reappearance; | |||
# shortly after the reappearance. | |||
In some hadiths, whose chains of transmitters are weak, the time of raj'a is alluded to by the quite famous saying "All wonders [take place] between [[Jumada I|Jumada]] and [[Rajab]]" ({{ia|اَلْعَجَبُ كُلُّ الْعَجَبِ بَینَ جُمَادَی وَ رَجَب}}). However, it is not possible to ascertain the exact time of, and the order of the events related to, raj'a. | |||
