Praying to Allah that we do not lose the remembrance
of Imam (a.s.)

We should pray to Allah that we never forgo the
remembrance of Imam (a.s.). This is so, because Allah has
prescribed a code of conduct for us with regard to Imam
(a.s.) and it is subject to the fact that we remember Imam
(a.s.) constantly. A sentence of Shaykh Amri is quoted in
Kamaluddin: "Do not erase the remembrance of Hazrat
(a.s.) from our hearts." (Kamaluddin Vol. 2 Pg. 513)
Please ponder upon these words How it an important
component of dua and how the Shias are advised to include
such words in their invocations. We should never ignore
this important point. We must keep them in mind especially
when we have high hopes of having our invocations
accepted. We must beseech Allah and request Him not to
make us negligent of Imam's remembrance. We must not
delay this so much that one is afflicted with the malady of
unawareness before he starts praying. According to the
traditions of the Holy Imams (a.s.) it is necessary for the
momin to pray before the descent of calamities.
One should avoid all such sins that deprive one of the
Imam's remembrances because it is a great misfortune as
mentioned in supplications of Imams (a.s.): "O Allah!
Forgive us those of our sins that cause the descent of
misfortune (and wretchedness)."
Indeed, the wretchedness of forgetting the remembrance
of Imam (a.s.) is such an unfortunate thing that makes one
liable for calamites and misfortune in this life as well as the
hereafter.
