consequently we believe in his existence (AHHR) in all times including ours.

Anwar: Will you please explain this a bit more?

Hasan: Of course. If there were not an Imam on earth, this would cancel the purpose which the Prophet (PBUH) came for in the first place, namely guiding people onto the right path. In addition to that, the earth will be lacking God’s Proof to debate people through; this way the earth would sink with the people on it, especially after we learned about the concealed roles and responsibilities of the Imams (PBUT).

Anwar: Please, elaborate more!

Hasan: Due to the fact that the Imam is God’s witness, it is required for him to exist in order to be able to witness on people in the Judgment Day. It is also required for the Imam to exist because he provides safety and protection for the people of earth and he is a means with which people can approach the Most Gracious Allah through his guidance and leadership and people’s obedience to him.

Anwar: Excellent!
