Five ways to help Imam Zaman (AS)

 There are five ways to help Imam Asr (AS) in a sacred word that God Almighty said: “The most beloved servants to me are those who have upheld my right, and the best and most honored of these people is Muhammad, who is the master and master of creation, and after him, Ali Morteza is the brother of Muhammad Mustafa, and after Ali, the other true imams, who uphold the right.

 Next to them are those who help them (i.e. the Prophet and his successors) to achieve their rights, and in the next rank are those who love them (i.e. the Prophet and his family) and hate their enemies, although They have not helped and supported the Ahl al-Bayt.” From this speech of God, we understand that the highest rank that a Shia can achieve is “the rank of helping the Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them”, and the rank of “the love of the Ahl al-Bayt and the hatred of their enemies” is a rank lower than the rank of “support and “Helping”. Most of the Shiites have love for the Imam of their time and hate his enemies, but most of them do not have the opportunity to help him. Most of us do not know that above the position of love there is another level called “Maqam Nusrat” which means “Maqam Yari Imam Asr”. Maybe if we know that in addition to loving the Imam of the Age, we should also help him, then one of the missions of knowledgeable people is to invite the Shiites and those who love the Imam of the Age to help and support him. And remind them that: “The position of the Imam’s helpers is higher than the position of the Imam’s lovers, and their reward and value in the eyes of God is higher and God’s love for them is greater.”

Therefore, it is worthy that we should not be satisfied with the love of our hearts for His Holiness, but rather join the group of His Holiness’s helpers in practice. After knowing the importance and value of “helping the Imam of the Age” and wanting to act on Ibn Kar, the question arises as to how we can help the Imam of the Time (AS), remove a burden from his shoulders and relieve his sorrows. Zail made This is a question they are facing, but because they do not know the answer, they cannot take any practical action in this way. On the way to attaining the position of Nusrat, there are bottlenecks and bottlenecks that many refrain from passing through and do not succeed in doing so. The first bottleneck is ignorance and ignorance of the fact that the support and help of the Imam of Asr has an official place in the Islamic religion, and the second bottleneck is that a person knows how he can help the Imam. In this speech, the intention is to give five comprehensive and general ways to help the Imam of the Age – sacrifice souls –  let’s point out The characteristic of these methods is their universality, which means that all Shiites, both experts and non-experts, can follow them and receive the help of the Imam of the age by divine grace. These five methods of helping Imam Asr (peace be upon him) are:

۱- An invitation to benefit from the blessings of his existence:

Inviting others to benefit from the blessings of Imam Zaman (a.s.), every Shiite who has understood the blessing of the existence of Imam of the Age and tasted the sweetness of his favors, can inform others about the existence of this blessing and invite them to appeal to May Imam Zaman (AS) benefit from his favors. Referring others to Imam Zaman (AS) to meet their material and spiritual needs is a very simple task. This work provides the grounds for the nation’s appreciation of the Imam (a.s.) and is very effective in removing alienation from this noble master, hence it is considered a kind of help to the Imam of the age

۲- Honoring and commemorating  Asr Imam:

Glorification of the Imam of the time (AS) in the society, every Shia can try to glorify and honor the Imam of the time in his clothes. This work (i.e. honoring the Imam of Asr in the society) reduces the loneliness of that Mullah and increases everyone’s attention to him. All of us can install a sign of Imam Jud’s name in our home or workplace to express our devotion to Imam Asr and honor him. When we mention his name, we can all learn from him with respect and send greetings and blessings upon him. All of us can stand up, put our hands on our heads, pay our respects and pray for his relief when he receives his special name, which is the title of “Qaim”. We can all remind each other of his guardianship and imamate by holding special ceremonies for him on the days attributed to him, such as the half of Sha’ban, Fridays and Eid al-Ghadir. Even if we cannot be the organizer of such a ceremony, we can serve in it or at least give it prosperity with our sincere presence. All these works are glorification and commemoration of Imam Asr (AS) and it is a way of helping him.

۳- Helping the Shiites of Imam Asr:

Helping the Shiites of Imam Zaman (AS) An important part of the concerns of Imam Zaman (AS) is related to the plight of his Shiites. Shiites are the family of Imam Zaman (AS). He loves them like his own children, gets sad because of their troubles and rejoices because of their victory and salvation. In the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt, it is stated that making the Imams happy is the same as making them happy, visiting and visiting the Shiites is the same as visiting the Ahl al-Bayt, and financial aid to the troubled Shiites is equivalent to financial aid to the Imam himself. Is . On this basis, if someone feels zeal and duty towards the Shiites of the Imam of the Age – may our lives be sacrificed – it is as if he was jealous of the protection of the Imam of the Age’s privacy and helped him personally. Let’s hurry to help the Imam of the Time (AS), help the Shiites who are trapped by him, and let’s be more diligent than before in order to serve the Imam of the Time in honoring the Shia community.

۴- Being an ornament for the owner of time :

 By being serious about honesty and avoiding ugly behaviors. Sins, especially great sins and gross crimes, if committed by those who are attributed to the Imam of the Time and are considered to be his Shia, it endangers the reputation of that noble person in the eyes of strangers and hurts the heart of that dear person. . On the other hand, the honesty, self-control and piety of the Shiites increase the honor of the Imam of the age in the society and make the heart of that Mullah happy. All of us can do double diligence and effort to preserve the reputation of the Imam of the age and his school of education regarding honesty and avoiding ugly deeds, and in this way we can help the Imam of our time, as Amir al-Mu’minan said to his companions: “Help me with self-restraint (regarding ugliness) and effort (in the way of goodness). »

۵- Giving charity on behalf of Imam Asr:

Seeking heavenly help for the Imam of the time (a.s.) We all know that helping the poor (that is, charity) removes the calamity, so we can take steps to remove the calamity from his honorable existence by giving charity on behalf of the Imam of the age. Also, we all know that prayer is effective in hastening the death of the Imam of the Asr and creating an opening in his work, so we can turn to prayer and supplication at the door of God and constantly ask God to bring his death to the fore. To remove sadness and troubles from his noble existence. Recruiting helpers and getting help for the Imam of the Age is one of the best ways to help the Imam of the Age, especially if we can ask God for this help. In the end, once again we review the five general and comprehensive ways to help the Imam of the Age of Sacrifice and we ask the great God to grant us all the success in doing them. 1- Inviting others to benefit from the blessings of the Imam of the Age (AS) 2- Glorification of the Imam of the Age (AS) in the society 3- Helping the Shiites of the Imam of the Age (AS) 4- Being an ornament for the owner of the Age by being serious in righteousness and avoiding ugly behaviors 5- Attracting heavenly help for the Imam of the era, especially through prayer and charity.
