Dear questioner, Master Ali Saei
Tracking code: #Q-3598

Peace be upon you,
You said that anyone who wishes to make it through all of life’s difficult and complicated passes must know Hasan and follow his path.

Why is it not enough to pass through them with Ali or Husayn? Why the emphasis on Hasan? (Peace be upon them all)
َّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ

The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

Each of the Infallible Imams (AS) possesses unique qualities. Imam Hasan’s (AS) role as a guide demonstrates that we need him in order to enter the depths of servitude to God. The emphasis on following his path is because forgetting his authority leaves us trapped and confined in life’s most difficult passes.

Every one of the Infallibles, peace be upon them, possesses these distinctive qualities. The Imam’s role as a guide proves that, to enter into the depths of the wonders and mysteries of creation and servitude to God, humanity needs his presence.

This statement underscores the truth that forgetting the Imam’s ولایت and failing to follow him will leave a person trapped and confined amid life’s many difficult passages.
