This text titled "Mikyalul Makarim" authored by Ayatullah Sayyid
Muhammad Taqi Musawi Isfahani is a two-part book about the perfection of
morals among the benefits of praying for our 12th Living Imam (aj). The
first part addresses the recognition of the Imam and the rational proofs
discussed. Among other topics, the second part of the book discusses the
times and conditions emphasized for supplicating.

63. The best people after the Imams (as)

63. The best people after the Imams (as)
========================================

Among the points concluded from the tradition quoted above in the
previous topic, is that the supplicant for this important matter would
be included among the best of the people. Because he would be of those
who have remembered the matter of the Imams (as). Since the implication
of remembrance is their matter, or talking about that which is related
to them or their positions, from the aspect of keeping alive their
memory and heritage without which religion cannot survive. And the
matter concluded from this is that it is the best of the recommended
deeds, especially during the period of occultation.

It should not remain unsaid that: The most obvious and best type of
remembrance of Imams (as) is recalling the qualities and specialties of
our hidden master (as) and the discussion of the sciences and
contributions of His Eminence that shall be a source of perception of
wise people. We should know that the three awards we mentioned would be
obtained by the believer if he is in the gathering of believers and such
a distinction is not available anywhere else. Among those specialties
are revival of the affair and exalting the word of Imams (as),
publicizing their rights and recognition and cooperation of the
believers in helping them, and praying for their early reappearance.
