I want to create a strong link between Allah (swt) and myself. Here are some qualities that will help me make that strong link.
Dear ImamI have now completed the A’amals for the Nights of
Laylatul Qadr in this Holy Month of Ramadan. May Allah (swt) be pleased with me!
But there is still one thought left....
I wonder where my Living Imam, Imam al-Mahdi (may he reappear
quickly) is tonight. Somewhere, he is sitting reading my book of deeds.
I wonder if he is smiling when he looks at all that I have done this
year, or whether there are tears in his eyes. I know I can do more
to be more prepared and ready for when he reappears. I want him
to know that I’m trying and I will keep trying! I want him to know
that I love him and want to be one of his companions when he
reappears.
I think I’m going to write a prayer for him...
On a separate piece of paper, write a letter to the Imam. Ask your mum or dad to help you bury it or tie it to a rock and throw it in a lake.
I begin in the name of Allah (SWT) the Most Kind, the Most Merciful.
Oh my Imam, may Allah (SWT) bless you! I am writing to you, asking for your help. You are my Imam, and I wish to write to you about what scares and worries me, and what I wish for the most. I know that I cannot solve these difficul-
ties myself, so I have knocked at Allah (SWT)’s door and yours. Your status is closer to Allah (SWT) than mine, and I
know that you will ask Allah (SWT) on my behalf, to help me. I pray to Him that He solves my difficulties quickly, and
provides me with comfort, and guides me to success in this world and the next.
Write your wishes and troubles for the Imam to help you with. Don’t forget to pray for your parents and family, and
your faith.

Peace be upon you, Oh Imam. During these difficult times, I ask again that you pray to Allah (SWT) on my behalf. Allah (SWT) is the Most Powerful, and I
accept whatever He wishes. He is the Great.
