Those who in the time of (the major) occultation
do as I have just said
will reach such a rank.
That is, each of you has this opportunity.

This is a narration that has been stated by
the proof and sign of Allah (upon mankind), the master of those who prostrate, Zain al-Abedin,
which Saduq narrated,
"Those who in the time of (the major) occultation
stay faithful to this creed
and not lose their belief,
every one of them will get the reward of a thousand martyrs
from the martyrs of Badr and Uhud.
Your position is such a position!
Now what is the way? This is the way:
From today prefer prayer to other acts.
This is the first word (of advice).
Keep your relation with Allah.
Don't compare prayer to anything else.
This is the first condition.
Every day after dawn prayers,
located at the end of Mafatih is the `Ahad prayer (Du`a),
read that prayer.
Don't look at 'Na Mahram' (those who you are forbidden to look at) women.
Protect your stomach from what is forbidden.
Perform the obligatory duties (you have to Allah).
All of you, your names are written in a book
at the beginning of which
is the name of Habib ibn Mazahir
and the name of Hur ibn Yazid Riyahi.
This is the way to bliss.
The Imam himself has stated the verse:
"This book (i.e., Qur`an), there is no doubt in it, is a guidance for the pious.
Those who believe in the unseen..."
The unseen (mentioned) in this verse
is Hujjat ibn al-Hasan (Imam Mahdi, peace be upon him).
Well then, our gathering (majlis) began with the name of the Imam of our time (Imam Zaman).
It should also end in that name.
It is near noon (time).
We hope that all of you from this gathering,
with this program (outlined for gaining bliss) and the special favour of the Imam of our time
will return to your homeland.
Try, every day, without exception
to read a part of the Qur`an, at least fifty verses.
If you want ten blessings
to be yours in this world and in the hereafter,
begin from today,
every day recite the chapter called Yasin.
Because we are in the time of the year dedicated to the Imam of our time,
that chapter of Yasin, that you read everyday,
give the rewards and blessings of to the Imam of the time (peace be upon him).
God willing with this program
you will secure your bliss both in this world
and in the hereafter.
