How to gain proximity to the Imam of the Age

Can spiritual intimacy with Imam al-Mahdi (may God hasten his noble reappearance) be cultivated through inner transformation and disciplined practice? This devotional guide answers with clarity and hope: yes. About the Book How to Gain Proximity to the Imam of the Age is a concise devotional manual, presented in English, that shows believers how to draw nearer to the Hidden Imam through steady worship and moral refinement. Rooted in Shīʿī teachings, it highlights the role of duʿāʾ (supplicatory prayer), ziyārat (devotional greeting), and conscious living during ghayba (occultation). The writing is accessible and practical, turning anticipation into a program of daily growth—so the heart remains connected even when public reappearance is deferred. What You Will Discover
