The Benefits of Praying for Imam-e-Asr (ATFS) In His Name and With The Remembrance of His Last Proof (a) on Earth Praying for Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) comprises of advantages for both this world as well as the hereafter. Here, we shall mention a few of them. ***** A)Worldly Benefits in praying for Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) are as follows: 1)Leads to a long life as it (supplication) is a form of maintaining relations with Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.a.), for Imam-e-Baqer (a.s.) says, “Maintaining (or patching) relations purifies actions, multiplies wealth, dispels calamities, simplifies accounting and postpones death.” (Behaarul Anwaar, vol. 52, p. 92, narrating from al- Ehtejaaj of Tabarsi. 2)Repels difficulties and increases sustenance. 3)Leads to the acceptance of other invocations. 4)Is a cause for readying oneself for Imam’s (a.s.) meeting,whether in sleep or awakening. (2)Ibid., vol. 51, p. 148, narrating from al-Ghaibah of No’mani. 5)Leads to augmentation of bounties. 6)Guarantees divine help for the one who prays and domination over his enemies. The evidence for this belief is the saying of Allah the Almighty, “If you help (the cause of) Allah, He will help you.” (Muhammad: 7.) 7)Returning to this world at the time of his reappearance as we observe during the recitation of Doa-e-Ahd. 8)Ensures steadfastness on faith and safety from the mischief and destruction of the last era. 9)Keeps away divine punishment and chastisement. 10)Preparation and continuous asking of the believers for the reappearance of our master Imam- e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) from Allah the All-Powerful, the Obliger, is definitely a cause for the nearness of his reappearance and the quickness of his advent, as has come down in traditions. ***** Benefits in the Hereafter: Allama Sayed Muhammad Taqi al-Isfahaani (a.r.) in the fifth chapter of his book, ‘Mikyaal al- Makaarim’, has discussed ten advantages for praying for Imam-e-Asr (a.s.). Here, we shall discuss a few of them. 1)Success in achieving the intercession of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and his holy progeny (a.s.) on the day of judgement, and this is due to invoking the early reappearance of his son, Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s.). 2)The intercession of Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) himself on the day of judgement. 3)Rewarding the labour of prophethood of Allah’s messenger (s.a.w.a.) and arriving with his love. 4)Forgiveness of sins. 5)Reward of avenging the blood of Imam Husain (a.s.), the martyr, the oppressed. 6)Guidance through the light of the Holy Quran. 7)Becoming the most beloved creature of Allah, the High. 8)Intercession of seventy thousand sinners. 9)Contentment of heart on the day of judgement. 10)Equal to the reward of twenty Hajj and Umrah. 11)Fulfillment of a thousand desires on the day of judgement. 12)Angels pray for the forgiveness of the one who prays for the reappearance of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.). 13)Leads to the fear of the accursed Shaitan and the breaking of his heart. 14)Obtaining one-third reward of all the creatures. 15)Glad-tidings and leniency at the time of death, barzakh and resurrection. 16)Reward of the one who is martyred under the banner of Hazrat Qaem (a.t.f.s.). 17)Any gathering in which reappearance of Hazrat Qaem (a.t.f.s.) is invoked is attended by the noble angels. 18)According to reliable traditions and authentic narration, supplicating for him in his occultation is much better than praying for him after his reappearance.
