The separation with our most adored and dearest Imam Zaman (a.t.f.s.) is not simply tolerable . We recite in the Dua an-Nudbah, "It is very difficult for me that I see everybody but cannot have a glimpse at your resplendent visage.  I listen to everybodys voce but am deprived of yours”

Our Duties during Occultation of Imam Zaman (a.t.f.s.)

Our Duties during Occultation of Imam Zaman (a.t.f.s.)

Our greatest concerns is the occultation of our beloved Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.).

The separation with our most adored and dearest Imam Zaman (a.t.f.s.) is not simply tolerable . We recite in the Dua an-Nudbah,

"It is very difficult for me that I see everybody but cannot have a glimpse at your resplendent visage.  I listen to everybodys voce but am deprived of yours”[1]

If we try to pave the way for the advent of Imam Zaman (a. t .f .s.) and fulfil our duties against him (a.t.f.s.), most of our difficulties will be resolved. And when he (a.t.f.s.) himself arrives, then Insha’Allah all our problems will be dispelled with immediately.

Let us take a step to discharge these duties in order to do away with our problems and difficulties. Due to that our existence and that of the entire universe, is indebted to Imam Zaman (a.t.f.s.). so It is the most important duty of every believer to wait for the occultation.

"The best action of my nation is to await the reappearance.” Imam Sadeq (AS) gives glad-tidings, "He who departs from the world while waiting for the advent of Imam (a.t.f.s.) is like the one who is with him (a.t.f.s.) in his tent. Nay! His status is even higher. As if he is fighting alongside the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) in the battlefield. "

Along our duties is to pray for the safety of Imam Zaman (a.t.f.s.). For instance, in the Qunoot of our prayers, we must regularly recite Dua al-Faraj, 'Allahumma Kun Le…’ In Mafaateeh al-Jenan, a number of supplications are mentioned.

Believers should pray morning and evening, and after every prayer for the early advent of Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) and to give preference to it over all other supplications.

So one of those affairs that we must do and cause to attend satisfaction of god is to invite people towards Imam az-Zaman (a.t.f.s.), and to instill his love in their hearts, to draw their attention towards him (a.t.f.s.), to answer queries which has been raised concerning Imamat and Occultation, etc.
