The Path to Imam Mahdi (atfs) is Paved by Planting the Seeds of Knowledge.
One of the best alms is learning knowledge then teaching one’s
brother.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),Mohajjat ul baiza v: 1; p: 22
Whoever travels to obtain knowledge is like one who strives hard in ALLAH’S
way.
Imam Ali (as) Behar ul anwar V : 1 P : 179
Whoever obtains knowledge and acts accordingly then teaches for sake of
ALLAH, is called in heavens in to the skies honorably.
Imam as-Sadiq (as), Alkafi V: 1 P: 35, Behar
ul anwar V: 2 P: 27
As Muslims living in the U.S., we must ask ourselves, “What is our purpose?”
More precisely, what special responsibilities do we have to the movement of Imam Mahdi (a)? When we ask this question, many of us will see clearly that a major part of our special responsibility must be to foster the growth and spread of Islamic guidance to the non-Muslims around us, that awaiting our Imam (a) means laying the foundations for his reappearance in this society and culture.

“What a diverse group!”–That’s what I thought to myself when I arrived at the Imam Ali Seminary and began meeting my new classmates.
