According to wisdom, if a person is beloved he should be popularized. Therefore, Shia
.Muslims should make Imam Mahdi popular
Imam Sadiq (PBUH)said: “God blesses someone who makes us popular among people and
attracts people to us. I swear to God that when people narrate our speeches to others, they
.would be more beloved because of those speeches
. Mekyal al-Makarem, volume 2
In the Apocalypse, people testify by their passion and lust and they govern by tyranny! People curse their fathers and envy their brothers! Partners betray each other in business and the
!sense of loyalty diminishes! Adultery spreads! Men wear like women! Women leave modesty
Ostentation gets into the hearts like poison, which penetrates in bodies…wealth will be spent
!on singing! People get fascinated by the World
Bihar al-Anwar, volume 52, page 264
When poison penetrates into body, getting poisoned is normal. Therefore, the society can be
.poisoned like a body! If you want to treat your poisoning, revive your life by removing poison
:The translation of verse 3 of Surah Al-Baqarah
Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them
: Davood Raqee saying that Imam Sadiq said in the interpretation of this verse
“Pious people are people who have faith in the uprising of Imam Mahdi (Qa’im) and admit it which is of course right
Ithbat al-hudat, v. 5, p. 72
Muawiyah ibn Ammar asked Imam Sadiq about this verse “And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.” (7:180). The Imam answered
“I swear to God that we are the Lord’s Good Names so that God does not accept any deed of humans unless they know us
Usul al-Kafi, chapter: Al-navader
Indeed, what kind of knowledge is this? Which is so important? We’ll mention it later
Imam Sadiq (PBUH): When you are faced with difficulty and hardship in our way, be patient and recommend each other to resist
Every person who is waiting for imam Mahdi and is patient in tolerating the annoyance and fear in this way, he will be in our company in the other world
Mekyal al-Makarem, volume 2— Rouzeh Kafi, page37
:Types of patience in the occultation based on narrations
Being patient for the duration of the occultation
Being patient against annoyance and denial and ridicule of the opponents.
Being patient against calamities and disasters
Being patient when you see believers’ calamities caused by enemies while you cannot defend them
:Imam Hadi(PBUH) said
In the occultation of our Qa’im, if there weren’t any scholars and sages who invite people to Imam Mahdi or any defenders of the religion or helper to save unable people from evil’s and enemies’ traps, all people would stop following God’s religion and would become a pagan
Scholars and sages, who save weak and poor Shia Muslims like a captain who guides a ship, are better and beloved ones for God
Al-Ihtijaj, volume 1, page 18
Emam bagher, peace be upon him said:
Man's smile to his (fellow) brother as well as wiping brushwood (hurts) out of him are generosity and the most beloved invocation before Allah is to make a believer happy.

:The translation of verse 18 of Surah An-Naba
“The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes”
Imam Sadiq was asked: Is the return (i.e. return to the world) right
The Imam said: Yes
Asked: Who is the first person who comes back
The Imam said: Hussein ibn Ali, who exits after the uprising of Al-Qa’im
The man asked: “Are there people accompanying him? He said: “No, as Allah says (in the Quran): they come in groups and respectively, nations after nations

:The second reason is the necessity of knowing the Imam of each era
"It is a sign of faith"
Aban ibn Taghlib says: I asked Imam Sadiq: Is a person faithful if he knows all Imams except for the Imam of his own era? The Imam said: “No.” I asked again: Is he considered as a Muslim
The Imam answered: Yes
The Source: Kamal al-Din and Tamam Al-Nimeh
:The important lesson
"Every Muslim is not considered as a faithful one"
The difference that we Shiites have with other Islamic and non-Islamic sects is that we know this dear and great person; his name, his date of birth, his parents and his beloved ancestors, we know his “concerns”, but others do not know these... That's why Shiites’ resorts are "livelier" and "more enthusiastic" and "more meaningful" and "more focused
The basic principle of Mahdism principle is agreed on among all Muslims... But in the main part which is the "the knowledge of the Savior himself" there is inconsistent insight. Shiites, through their certain news, know the Savior by his name, specification, and his date of birth

:Imam Sadiq’s (PBUH) warnings
I swear to God, you will break undoubtedly such as shattering of a glass but glass can be recycled (by melting and reproducing). I swear to God you will break like pottery, very truly it does not return to original condition
I swear to God you will be screened and distinguished from each other undoubtedly and you will be selected until a few of you remain
Al-Qaibat Na´mani, page 307
To answer this question, first it is necessary to pay attention to 11 reasons for the importance of acquainting oneself with Imam Mahdi
The first reason: the reason of Man’s Creation
:Imam Hussein told his companions
O people, Allah has not created humans except to know him. When they recognized him, they worship him. When they worship him, for the blessing of this prayer, they do not need to worship entities than God
A man asked: What’s the recognition of God
:the Imam said
That is, people of any age should know the Imam whom they should obey the commands of his
Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p. 83
The result: Knowing God = Getting to know the Imam of each era
