Dear questioner, Master Ali Saei
Tracking code: #Q-2911

(A question from a little sister)
My storybook says that when we do good things, the Imam of Our Time (AS) is happy and prays for us. When people do bad things, the Imam gets very sad. I want to know: does he pray for them too, so they can become good people?

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

Imam al-Mahdi (AJ) prays for all believers to be guided; without his prayers, we would all perish. His prayers include those who do wrong, so that they may be guided towards goodness.
