Duties
of Shias towards Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) * |
|
|
|
|
To organize gatherings where the Fazael of Imam (a.t.f.s.) shall be discussed
The important duty is to organize programmes Where the Fazael of Imam (a.s.)
are narrated. Where people will pray for Imam (a.s.). Even if one has to
work very hard to organize such gatherings it is highly recommended because
it is the propagation of the religion of Allah, it is the promotion of the
word of Allah, it is a help in goodness in piety and it is a help to the
signs of Allah and the friends of Allah. Tradition (hadith) clearly proves
the importance of this duty of Imam Sadiq (a.s.). |
"Meet each other because it enlivens your hearts and causes the remembrance
of our affair (Wilayat), and our traditions will promote love amongst you.
That if you take them you are successful and achieve salvation and if you
leave them you shall be misguided and fall into perdition. Act on these
traditions and I guarantee your salvation."
* To stand up with respect at the mention of Imam'(a.t.f.s) name
|
Whenever one utters the name or title of Imam (a.t.f.s.) one should stand
up in respect, as had been the practice of the Twelver Shias. The textual
proof can be cited from the report regarding Imam Sadiq (a.s.) as quoted
in the book Najmus Saaqib. The report says that one day the name
of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) was mentioned in gathering of Imam Sadiq (a.s.).
When the name was uttered, Imam Sadiq (a.s.) stood up in respect. (Beharul
Anwar Vol. 44 Pg. 278)
That standing up in respect is recommended (Mustahab) is proved
from this above tradition, but there are some occasions when it is obligatory
to do so. For example, when the name of Imam (a.t.f.s.) is uttered and all
the people stand up. Anyone who continues to sit without any valid excuse
has disrespected Imam (a.t.f.s.). And there is no doubt that disrespect
towards Imam (a.t.f.s.) is haraam.
