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.

25. Those Who Pray Would Gain The Rewards Of Doing Goodness To The Parents
==========================================================================

All the effects and advantages of the world and the hereafter present in
doing goodness to the parents would also be there for one who prays for
His Eminence, Qaim (aj), as explained by us in Part Three that Imam (as)
is the real father of all the people. Thus one who is unjust to them
would have committed *Aaq* (insolence) to his real father. And one who
does good to him would become eligible for all rewards that are for one
who does good to his parents. And there is no doubt that the real father
has greater right and higher status and is more deserving than the
biological father of man, to receive favors.

That which proves this – in addition to the dictates of reason and logic
– is a lengthy tradition from *Tafseer* of Imam Hasan Askari (as) that
he said:

“And indeed our right upon you is greater than the rights of the parents
from whom you are born – if you obey – we shall save you from the Fire
and take you to the abode of comfort and perpetuity…”[^1]

In the same way praying for the father – especially when he has ordered
it – is the best sort of good you can do for him and it is the most
beneficial and important matter.

As for the effects and advantages of being good to the parents – it
includes all the good things of the world till the rewards of the
hereafter – is a topic that is beyond the scope of this book. Those who
wish to study more about it may refer to the books of our colleagues,
especially *Kafi* and *Biharul Anwar*.

[^1]: That which support this point is a tradition from Jame al-Akhbaar
in which the Messenger of Allah (s) said: The right of Ali on the
Muslims is like the right of the father on his children. It is said that
it is proved from traditional reports that whatever is applicable to one
Imam is also there for all Imams. That is if the rights of one of them
is proved on us then the rights of all them will also be incumbent on
us. (The Author)
