Tawassul, is one of the beliefs of Shi’a and most Muslims which means to resort to someone or something with a high position as an intermediary before God. Its in order to become closer to Him, so that He may fulfill one’s requests. The concept of Tawassul is closely related to the concept of Shafa’a (intercession), and they are often mentioned together.
[He] is the refuge for the servants [servants of God]
An Imam (pbuh) is God’s trustable one on the earth, and among the people.
[He] is kind to the servants, and is the successor in cities.
[He] invites people to God, and defends God’s privacy
O! Mahdy( hgr)
They call you” her majesty Zahra( pbuh)’ s Josef( pbuh)!”
Then I automatically remember the time prophet Josef( pbuh)’ s brothers came to him. And
he complained, “ Do you- for the sake of God- know what you did with Josef and his brother1?!”
Now immediately I imagine a bend -back lady1 who complains,
Always thinking of Imam Zamān (mgehr)
Whoever is fond of something,
A man went to imam Hadi (pbuh) and requested so,
“Please teach me the expressions with which I can [deeply] know you, ‘Ahl al- Beyt ( pbu th)’ and can read them on pilgrims to imams’ shrines.”
Imam answered kindly,
“The restless ones who look forward to the Emergence, will perish. But the ones who believe it isn’t late, will be saved.”
First: an individual’s haste doesn’t make God to hurry!!
Second: one shouldn’t be carefree and indifferent to this important point.
Imam Sadiq (pbuh) stated,
Once a man explained to me, he had gotten into an intercity cab to Tehran.
He continued,” During my journey, I didn’t speak about anything. I was not worried about money either.
After some while, on the middle of a desert, I got shocked when I found out there was no money either in the right and the left pockets of my pants, or in my blouse pocket!
These honorable men[ Shiites’ imams( pbu th)] are so supervising and supportive that
If one of the faithful gets sick, they will get sick too!
Or if one of them gets sad, they will get sad too!
And if one of them gets pleased, they will do too; since, they are compatible with each other.
If one of them prays, they will say,” Amen”.
Even if s/he remains silent [doesn’t pray], the imams will still pray for her or him!
Every night, my Jamkarani’s1 heart is [like] your orphan. [I miss you”Imam Mahdi (hgr)” like an orphan who misses his/ her father!] Come, my darling. […]

I didn’t take anything new for Indian , just brought them as a gift, the result of my study and research on the karbala martyrs’ (those heroes) backgrounds.
