(A question from a young girl)
In one of my letters to Imam al-Mahdi (AS), I wrote, “My kind Imam, Mahya is in love with you.” My teacher read my letter and told me, “Dear Mahya, those words aren’t appropriate or worthy of the Imam. You shouldn’t tell the Imam, ‘I’m in love with you.’” But, teacher, I love Imam al-Mahdi (AS) so, so much—that’s why I wrote it. Shouldn’t I have written that?
Loving Imam al-Mahdi (AS) is beautiful: he is beloved by God, and it is praiseworthy to love those whom God loves. There is nothing wrong with expressing this affection; it reflects your love for goodness and for God’s proof on earth.
Since you love the Imamate, all that is good, and His Holiness as God’s proof on earth, there is nothing wrong with what you say!
The Compassionate God loves our Imam of the Age, and you love the one God loves; your affection is beautiful!
Well done for loving someone whom Almighty God loves!
