The seventh reason for the necessity of acquainting oneself with Imam of each era:
"One night should not pass without him"
Yahya bin Abdullah narrates that Imam Sadiq (PBUH) told him:
“O, Yahya whomever passes a night and does not who the Imam of his time is, has lived a pagan life.”
Al-Qaibat Na´mani, Chapter 7, hadith 1
O!
Lord, introduce your Imam to me…..

A good solution for precipitating the Reappearance
What kind of piety gets us nearer to the Reappearance? Only daily prayers which are performed on time and individual good deeds? If millions of people of this kind live together, but the communal life fails to be good, their piety does not thrive and is not of a great avail for the precipitation of the Reappearance! The real piety is that manifests itself in the flow of the communal life and collective work.
Imam Mahdi (A.J) in one of his commands has said: “If our Shias gather and fulfill the covenant they have toward me, very quickly the honor of seeing me will be granted to them.” {Al-Ihtijaj (2/499)}
It means that whoever expresses his allegiance to Imam Mahdi individually this would not end the occultation.

Daniel’s looking for the Savior
The prophet Daniel heartened the Jews when they were in hardship. Daniel’s book is a mysterious book wherein he has weird dreams and Gabriel is the one who interprets them. Its summary is as follows:
The kingdom of God is just and
eternal… the son of the man and the divine kingdom will rule over the future
world and His kingdom is everlasting. 1 [the son of the man in Old Testament
and New Testament respectively refers to the imam mahdi
Daniel mysteriously expresses the thought about the promised. After him, another prophet called “Malachi” was also influential in globalization of such a thought.
Readiness to accept Imam’s global Governance
In order to accept a government, the world must be prepared in many different ways:
A) The intellectual and cultural preparation: The level of the world public viewpoints should be so high to know that the difference in color (racism), language and land can’t separate mankind from each other.
B) Social preparation: the world must be tired of oppression and evil regimes and demand a peacemaker for the salvation of mankind.
C) Technology and communication preparation: Contrary to what some people think that the new technology must be destroyed before the beginning of the global governance, not only the existence of these industries is not an obstacle to the concept of the “Global Governance” but also it maybe impossible to achieve such a goal without it, because it is necessary to use post-modern equipment to create and control a global system.
Like diamond ...
You can use “A piece of very valuable multi-carat diamond," in two ways:
Whether you use it as a "precious stone” or as a “calibration weight of scales" which is used in scale instead of a few-gram stone and weigh pepper and turmeric with it! Certainly, the right way of diamond usage is not using it as a calibration weight of scales!
Imam
Mahdi (PBUH), this precious jewel, must be in position of “ Command,” and
"" Ruling the world” we shouldn’t behave him like this, because he is
much more precious than what we think ...

The sixth reason to get acquaintance of the Imam of each era:
"Salvation from the being misled in the Occultation"
Imam Sadiq (PBUH) has said:
“Get to know the Imam of your era, if you know him, whether the Reappearance occurs quickly or late, you won’t incur any losses.”
Al-Qaibat Na´mani, Chapter 25.
Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said:
“If you experience the Occultation, persist on reciting this prayer: O! God, introduce your Imam to me, otherwise I will go astray from my religion.”
Kamal al-Din and Tamam Al-Nimeh, Chapter 33
A reminder: we should not forget that Shimr also saw the Imam of his era but did not recognize him.

Greater than Imagination...
I cannot refer to him as the leader, he is greater than this. I cannot say the he is the first person, because there is not any second person (throughout the ranks)! We cannot describe him with any description other than “The Promised Mahdi”. He is the one that God has saved for the mankind.

Savior seeking in the words of Isaiah
Isaiah lived 700 years before Christ's coming and used to deal with the issue of the emergence of a “Savior” more than other prophets. In his words, the best instance to save the Israelites was a person named "Immanuel". (Immanuel, literally, means God is with us)
Prior to Isaiah the concept of Messiah and the Savior did not have a universal perspective. But after him "the Concept of Messiah" remained active and Messiah has acquired a global function.
The prophets after him also promised a better future and the advent of a Messiah and an immortal religious government until the light of prophethood reached Daniel (PBUH)...
Isaiah, chapter 7, verse 14
An entirely monotheistic system of governing
There will be a time during which all the inhabitants of earth believe in monotheism and reject polytheism:
Imam Sadiq (PBUH), describing the inclusive and universal government of Imam Mahdi (PBUH), stated that:
“In the East and the West of the world, there will not be anyone who does not believe in the oneness of God and monotheism.”
Bihar al-Anwar, volume 52, p. 340
Like prayer beads…
The narrator said: “I asked Imam Sadiq (PBUH) about certain signs of the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi if it will take so long?”
The Imam said: “No, they will happen as a regular string continuously.”
Al-Qaibat Na´mani, page 307
