How Can We Avoid Forgetting the Imam of Our Time, Even for a Moment?
The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)
To avoid forgetting the Imam of our Time (AJ), even for a moment, we need to develop a heartfelt, loving knowledge of him. This kind of knowledge, like our awareness of our own limbs and senses, endures and inspires us to seek a deeper understanding of him. We must ask God to grant us this knowledge and remain steadfast on its path.
Answer by Master Ali Saei (Abdullah Meshkat)
Teacher and researcher in the intellectual tradition of wisdom and the Ahl al-Bayt | Soroush Bamdadān Cultural CenterAn intimate, heartfelt awareness of the Imam makes his remembrance enduring. It is a kind of knowing felt through every limb and faculty—just as one cannot forget one’s eyes, ears, tongue or heart, and their absence would be unbearable.
A devoted and loving awareness of the Imam keeps his remembrance alive. This kind of knowing gives rise to seeking and searching, like a thirsty person seeking fresh water.
So let us whole-heartedly ask God to grant us this sacred awareness of the Imam, and take care not to stray from the path that leads to knowing him!
