It has come to our attention that there was an error in one of the words (لوب which should be قلوب) within the Hadith provided for the age category of 12-15. We sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
The correct Hadith for this age category is as follows:
لنعمة الظاهرة الامام الظاهر ، والباطنة الامام الغائب ، فقلت له : و يكون في الأئمة من يغيب ؟ قال : نعم يغيب عن أبصار الناس شخصه ، ولا يغيب عن قلوب المؤمنين ذكره ، وهو الثاني عشر منا ، يسهل الله له كل عسير ، ويذلل له كل صعب ، ويظهر له كنوز الأرض ، ويقرب له كل بعيد ، ويبير به كل جبار عنيد ويهلك على يده كل شيطان مريد ، ذلك ابن سيدة الإماء الذي تخفى على الناس ولادته ، ولا يحل لهم تسميته حتى يظهره الله عز وجل فيملأ الأرض قسطا وعدلا كما ملئت جورا وظلما
We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused by this oversight and appreciate your commitment to accuracy and learning. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاء وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَذَلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ
5. “And they were ordered no more than that they should worship Allah (alone) being sincere to Him in obedience, upright, to keep up prayer, and pay zakat (poor-rate) and that is the upright religion.”
(Sura Bayyina – Ayah 5)
Hadith Mentioning this Ayah in relation to Imam al-Mahdi (aj):
إنما هو ذلك دين القائم عليه السلام
Imam al-Sadiq (a) said about the verse,
‘That is the upright religion’ (98:5):
“It is none other than the religion of the Qa’im (aj).’
(Bihar al-Anwar, v. 23, p. 370)
Memorise Sura Layl
(Sura number 92)
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى
2. “By the day when it brightens”
(Sura Layl – Ayah 2)
Hadith Mentioning this Ayah in relation to Imam al-Mahdi (aj):
النهار هو القائم عليه السلام منا أهل البيت ، إذا قام غلب دولته الباطل والقرآن ضرب فيه الأمثال للناس وخاطب الله نبيه به ونحن ، فليس يعلمه غيرنا
Imam al-Baqir (a) was asked about the verse,
‘By the day when it brightens’ (92:2),
he said:
‘This refers to the Qa’im from us, the People of the House (a). When he rises, his dominion will banish the darkness of falsehood. The Qur’an contains parables for the people, but God addressed His Prophet (saw) and us directly in it, so none but us know its true meaning!’
(Tafsir al-Qummi, v. 2, p. 425)
Memorise Sura Luqman
(Sura number 32)
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يُجَادِلُ فِي اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلاَ هُدًي وَلاَ كِتَابٍ مُنِيرٍ
20. “Do you not see that Allah has disposed for you whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth and He has showered upon you His blessings, the outward, and the inward? And among the people is he who disputes concerning Allah without knowledge and without any guidance and without any book giving light.”
(Sura Luqman – Ayah 20)
Hadith Mentioning this Ayah in relation to Imam al-Mahdi (aj):
لنعمة الظاهرة الامام الظاهر ، والباطنة الامام الغائب ، فقلت له : و يكون في الأئمة من يغيب ؟ قال : نعم يغيب عن أبصار الناس شخصه ، ولا يغيب عن لوب المؤمنين ذكره ، وهو الثاني عشر منا ، يسهل الله له كل عسير ، ويذلل له كل صعب ، ويظهر له كنوز الأرض ، ويقرب له كل بعيد ، ويبير به كل جبار عنيد ويهلك على يده كل شيطان مريد ، ذلك ابن سيدة الإماء الذي تخفى على الناس ولادته ، ولا يحل لهم تسميته حتى يظهره الله عز وجل فيملأ الأرض قسطا وعدلا كما ملئت جورا وظلما
Imam al-Kazim (a) was asked about the meaning of the verse,
‘Do you not see that Allah has disposed for you whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth and He has showered upon you His blessings, the outward, and the inward?”
He said:
‘The outward blessing is the manifest Imam, and the inward blessing is the hidden Imam.’ The narrator asked him: ‘Is there among the Imams one who remains hidden?’ He answered, ‘Yes, his person may be hidden from the eyes of people, but his memory will never be absent from the hearts of the faithful. He is the twelfth among us. God will make all difficult things easy for him, smoothen all hardships, bring forth for him the treasures of the earth, bring near all that is distant, use him to destroy every obstinate tyrant, and annihilate through him every rebellious devil. He is the descendant of the foremost of God’s female servants, whose birth remains unknown to people, and they are not permitted to pronounce his name until God, the Almighty, brings him forth. Then he will fill the earth with equity and justice as it was filled with oppression and injustice.
(Kamal al-Din, pp. 368-369)
Memorise Sura Ankabut
(Sura number 29)
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِذَآ اُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَئِن جَآءَ نَصْرٌ مّـِن رَّبّـِكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْ أَوَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِاَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِي صُدُورِ الْعَالَمِينَ
10. “And among the people there are those who say: ‘We believe in Allah,’ and when they are hurt in Allah’s cause, they think the persecution of men as it were Allah’s chastisement, Yet if there comes any help from your Lord, they will say, ‘We were indeed with you.” What! Is not Allah the Best-Knower of what is in the breasts of mankind?”
(Sura Ankabut – Ayah 10)
Hadith Mentioning this Ayah in relation to Imam al-Mahdi (aj):
( ولئن جاء نصر من ربك )
يعني القائم عليه السلام
Imam al-Sadiq (a):
“Yet if there comes any help from your Lord”—meaning the Qa’im (aj)—”they will say, ‘We were indeed with you.”
