As we are approaching towards the zaheri deedar of our beloved Imam in Canada, we should ask ourselves, Am I ready to grasp the baarkaat of Deedar?

In continuation of my last post: But the question arises how can we do good deeds? Inspite of our intention to do naik aamal, we failed. Why? Now we seek our answer in firman. Imam S.M.S said in firman # 125 regarding the pakizgi of our Aamal. Mowla said " Aamal paak te shoo? anaiy te kevi rita...

Ya Ali Madad Everybody We say that we feel joy in our heart if Imam is with us. But I think it is not neccessary because whenever we get some worldly or monatory benefits, we feel happiness and that doesn't show that Imam is with me.

We know that our religion is esoteric but what we are doing here. Instead of contemplate on inner meaning of dua, we are wasting our precious breaths( dums) and entangling ourselves in the futile discussion that what should be the language of Dua.
