 Imagine it's 1400 years ago. It's the ninth of Mahadevan. At night you hear commotion and noises coming from outside so you leave your tent to see what's going on. You come out and you see hundreds and thousands of people leaving. Looking around confused for a split second your eyes fall on the eyes of Monsen. You see the sadness and sorrow in his face. There and then you decide you're gonna stay. Knowing what's gonna happen to you when the morning comes. So now it's the 10th of Maharram the day of Arshurah. You're now the 73rd companion of Aba Abdullahi l-Sain. Imagine you walk up to offer your service to the Imam and he gives you the choice in what you want to do on that day. Where would you want to offer your service? What would you want to do? For me to be besides beside my Imam to fight and battle for the sake of Islam my decision is to stay with him to be beside him because not only that he sacrificed his life for the sake of humanity for the sake of Islam for us the Shi'a of Imam Ali to be on this planet to worship Allah to learn the life of the Ahl al-Bayt and for me to be beside the Imam to allow the people after me to learn the life of the Ahl al-Bayt then I'll be beside the Imam. Now imagine one day you come home from work your family are running around frantically in the house your dad's organizing fruit your mom's bringing sweets your siblings are making tea because naturally you have a guest at your house so you ask your dad what's going on who's come to see us and your dad replies there's a guest but he hasn't come to see us he's come to see you so you say okay where is he that is waiting for you in the living room so you come to the living room you open the door you walk into the room and you see sitting in the room waiting for you as Imam saying this what would you say to him in that moment what would you want him to say back to you in that very split second of me seeing that my house waiting for me first I come to my mind why me why it was like what's that mom of our time what's that mom sacrifices life for us doing in my house waiting for me what have I done to earn this this moment because not everyone gets that moment but what have I done to earn this moment throughout my life that's my first question to the mom that feeling and what would you want him to reply to and for that question what would you want him to answer you with what would make you happy for him for him to say things like from what I've done our Majal is my Khidmah to that hillbate if if inshallah one day the Imam does come to my house and says that then that will make me really happy to think that the Imam is proud of what I'm doing for the hillbates it's proud of my commitment towards the hillbates and showing people that who the hillbates are the Khidmah towards them so now it comes time for the Imam to leave your house what would you want him to say to you as a final farewell what would you do in that situation the Imam is walking out of your house how would you react first of comes to mind that I know that in the afterlife Shala that I will be standing besides the Imam me and the family standing besides him granting me the keys to heaven for everything I've done in this life what more could I ask for the mom so at the beginning I asked you about 1400 years ago now given hindsight it's easy to say probably say I would maybe help Abul Fadil Abbas alayhi salam bring water or I would protect the tents of the women and children or I would try to stop this calamity falling on this person or I would try to help in this manner a lot of us often forget that we have an Imam who's with us in this day and age and in a way him being absent from us physically absent from us has given us the choice in how we want to serve him so what do you think you've done for the 12th Imam what do you think he deserves from his companions his servants today aka us because some say Imam Hussain had 72 with him on that day how many's Imam Mehdi may Allah hasten his reappearance got with him today I've served the 12th Imam by giving all I can from the mangyalates of the Helvet not just up but me myself make sure that I pray on time make sure that everything I do is Islamically is don't do it the haram in life just follow the Ten Commandments of Allah follow the beliefs of the Helvet what I've done for me to serve the Imam at this time is just to from what I believe is to follow the truth path of Islam serve the Helvet in any way you can whether it's the small things or the big things at the end you're all committed to one person which is the Imam of our time as you said earlier you mentioned to hear acceptance from Imam Hussain may Salam would make you happy acceptance of your service to the Ahlul Bayt of your volunteering in Majalis of your extracurricular activities of your work with the youth etc how do you think the 12th Imam feels when he remembers you I believe that the 12th Imam will be happy every time shall I remembers of me and not just me but the people are me for what we've done for his family for his forefathers for the the progeny so feeling happy
