Helping Imam (a.s.) with one's property
It is the duty of a believer that he must set apart a share
of his wealth and property in the service of Imam (a.s.). He
should continue this every year. This is obligatory for all
whether, rich or poor, whether lowly or exalted, woman or
man. There is no difference with regard to social status.
However, each has to contribute depending upon his
capability. As Allah says, "Allah does not impose upon
any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability."
(Surah Baqarah 2: 286)
The traditions have mentioned the dedication of a part
of our wealth to Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) but there is no fixed
amount for it because apparently it is a highly
recommended act and the Holy Imams (a.s.) have likened it
to a compulsory duty.
As mentioned in Al-Kafi, Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said, "There
is no better deed that earmarking a few Dirhams for Imam
(a.s.). The Almighty Allah makes this Dirham equal to Mt.
Uhud in Paradise for this donor."
After this Imam (a.s.) said, "The Almighty Allah says in
His book, 'Who is it that will offer of Allah a goodly gift,
so He will multiply it to him manifold."
(Surah Baqarah 2: 245)
Imam says, "By Allah this is a special gift to Imam (a.s.)."
