God appointed the Imam of the Age to be a guide amongst people ; however it is the people who are the obstacle to his appearance , and whenever they are ready for a single, divine world rule , formed on true justice observing rights, truths and realities , putting into practice all the laws of God without any dissimulation or fear, Imam Mahdi (PBUH) will openly declare himself . So, with regard to Allah , the Merciful , there is not the slightest lack of favor or mercy , for the fault lies with the people that the Imam is hidden and the appearance of his rule is delayed . Still, it must be remembered that the benefits of the existence of the Imam are not limited to outward guidance among people , for the pure existence of the Imam has other benefits which are not necessarily evident among people .
The most important benefit of the Imam’s existence is that he is the intermediary for Divine Favor . For , one the basis of the evidence scholars have produced and also according to numerous Hadith which speak about the Imamate , if there were no Imam , the relation between the world and its creator would no longer exist , because all of the favors of God come through the Imam to the rest of humanity . In many Hadith it is said very clearly that the earth will not remain without an Imam (leader) .
