Majlis 7 - Obedience to the Imam
It is the duty of every one who has given a pledge of loyalty to the Imams that he should fulfil the terms of his pledge and always keep them in view. He should not budge an inch from the right course.
It is said that once Imam Jafar al-Sadiq said to some of his followers, You should be our silent propagandists”. When the people asked him as to how they should carry on the propaganda by silence, he said in reply, “carry it on by your good deeds.” (He also said), “When people find you doing the right things, they will know that it is we who have guided you in this matter. Thus they will run to us and you will prove to be the medium of their coming to us.”
It follows that it is the bounded duty of every one who is the follower of the Imams to do good things and keep away from the evil.
