Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf) has stated: فَإِنَّا نُحِيطُ عِلْماً بِأَنْبَائِكُمْ، وَ لاَ يَعْزُبُ عَنَّا شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَخْـبَارِكُمْ “Surely we have complete knowledge of your situation and there is nothing which is hidden from us concerning you.”[^3] In another tradition, Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf) has stated: إِنَّا غَـيْرُ مُهْمِلِينَ لِـمُرَاعَاتِكُمْ وَ لاَ نَاسِينَ لِذِكْرِكُمْ “Verily, we are not inattentive in taking care of you nor are we heedless in remembering you.”[^4] A true believer must know where the pleasure of Allah lies and must know that Imam al-Zaman (ajtf) himself is also seeking the pleasure of Allah.
One must also realize that this pleasure can only be attained by following the Imam in all affairs, with complete obedience to the religion of Allah and by purification of the soul. It is clear that this observance and vigilance will slowly enable a person to reach a desirable end and permit one to attain the higher levels of proximity to Allah, as the most important thing in life is to attain proximity to Allah.

69; In addition, verse 105 of Suratul Tawbah (9) also mentions this point where Allah says: وَ قُلْ 9عْمَلُوا فَسَيَرى 9للٌّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ 9لْـمُؤْمِنُونَ Say: then do what you want (but know that) Allah sees your actions and so does His Messenger and the true believers. Without doubt and according to the traditions which have come to us, the meaning of the true believers as mentioned in this verse are the Infallible A’immah and without doubt, the complete and definite interpretation of the word “المؤمنون” are the Infallible A’immah .
