Before you people do this exhaustive, never ending research on Imamate, can you tell me
1- Who is the Imam now? 2- If i want to follow Imam, how can i do it? 3- How those following Imam are better than those who are not.
1- The twelfth, Imam Al Mahdi (as)
2- Start reading about them as a start (Quran, hadiths, tareekh, seerat)
3- [10:35] Say: Is there any of your associates who guides to the truth? Say: Allah guides to the truth. Is He then Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself does not go aright unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you; how do you judge?
So its important to know who you are following.
