The phrase...
The phrase: وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ And makes them firm-footed… (Qur’an, Surah Muhammad 47:7) May imply that in the end Allah would make them march on Siraatul Mustaqeem (the Right Path). Note: It is that in our leader and master His Eminence, the Imam of the Time (aj) all such virtues and excellences have come together, that each of them alone would justify our efforts in his help and assistance.
Helping the Imam is helping an oppressed one, helping him is helping a person in alien land, it is helping a scholar, assisting the near kindred of the Prophet, support of one for whose sake we have received a bounty, it is helping one who is medium for blessings to reach us, it is helping one whom Allah helps, and helping a noble, a munificent one…And if you think upon it you will be able to derive many more points if you are devoted to the Imam and are inclined to him.

And surely Allah will help him who helps His cause; most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty. Those who, should We establish them in the land, will keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and enjoin good and forbid evil; and Allah’s is the end of affairs. (Qur’an, Surah Hajj 22:40-41) Previous…
