Prophet Mohammed (SAS.) has said that if any person passed away without identifying his Imam certainly he died in illiteracy. That is to say he could not die of Islamic death and whole life he was devoid of knowledge about the religion of Islam (Abu Dawood Termazi).
• Hazarat Imam Zainul Aabedeen has said that Identification of your Imam is obligatory. The pious man is one who identifies the Imam of his period and getting admittance with him and consider him as the owner of the life, goods and offspring.
• Almighty Allah on the resurrection day shall recall every one along with his respective Imam. Almighty Allah has said that: "YOUMA NADU KULLA UNASI BI-IMAMIHIM." (Surah Bani Isril-71)
Translation: On the day every Jamat along with its Imam shall be summoned. From the contention of the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Prophet Mohammed (SAS.) it is very clear that the existence of Imam is very essential. Without Imam we never get its path.
