How can the youth get closer to Imam-e-Zamana (ajtfs)?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This is a very important question for those who really care to improve themselves and achieve better degrees of success in this life and hereafter. These are few practical steps which can make the believer more close to Imam-e-Zamana (AS). More piousness leads to more nearness to Imam-e-Zaman. To add to our Taqwa (Piousness), these are few points:
1. Asking yourself before any act or word whether Allah (SWT) likes it or not? That is the best degree of remembering Allah (SWT) along with continuous remembering him in our heart and tongue.
2. Reciting Quran and Du'a with understanding and pondering and gifting its reward to Imam Al-Mahdi (AS).
3. Performing Nawaafil prayers especially Night Prayer ( SALAT ALLAYL or NAMAZ E SHAB) every night.
4. Talking to Imam e Zaman (AS) every day and night as he listens to us and responds to the pious believers. 
5. Gifting the reward of all our good deeds to Imam Al-Mahdi and all Ahlul Bayt (AS) which will not only multiply our reward, but also make us more near to them.
6. Having best Akhlaq (Manners) with parents, relatives especially your family members and with all people.
7. Being with Wudhu all the times as much as you can.
8. Trying to strengthen our will power by avoiding evil desires and performing good acts even if it can look like difficult like fasting, charity,etc. We need to control our desires and never allow our desires to control us.
9. Helping needy people in any possible way for the sake of Allah (SWT).
10. Trying to make believers happy by respecting them, caring for them, smiling in their faces and in any other act of generosity and kindness to them or their families.
11. Performing obligatory Prayers on time with out any delay. Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) performs every Prayer on time, so, your praying on time will make your Prayers elevated to Allah (SWT) with the Prayer of Imam Al-Mahdi (AS).
12. Keep your most important supplication and wish, the reappearance of Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) and sincerely pray for him more than praying for yourself and your family.

What is the response to someone who claims that the Mahdi is the Antichrist of the Bible on the basis that he will rule for 7 years?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Anti Christ is a misleading person who will be killed by Al-Mahdi (AS). Jesus Christ (AS) will come down from the sky to this earth and will join Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) as one of his supporters and will pray behind him.

The government of Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) will last very long as we read in the narrations that: The rule of the Justice will long as much as the injustice ruled.

The person who claims such claim needs to read more about Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) who is the divine leader who will establish the world government of peace and justice for all human beings.

Will the 313 helpers of Imam Mahdi (a) be regular individuals or leaders of organisations, politicians, and religious  influencers?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) will have when he will re appear ten thousand sincere assistants who will lead  and help people all over the world, out of them 313 will be the most pious and most sincere and most able to help the aim of the Imam (AS).
The 313 assistants will be regular individuals or scholars or leaders who have that high degree of sincerity and dedication to Allah (SWT). Many of them will be unknown to people because their sincerity stops them from seeking publicity, name or fame but known to Allah (SWT) as very humble and dedicated and pious. They will be men and women as well and from different parts of the world.

Is there any Dua for seeing Imam-e-Zaman (ajtf)?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Seeing Imam Zaman (AS) is not a matter which can be achieved by just Du'a, but it needs purification of heart and deeds to reach to real piousness. Real pious servants of Allah,v can see Imam Zaman (AS) because of their continue piousness.

Do more good deeds like Reciting Quran, giving Sadaqa, helping in good cause, etc) and gift the reward to Imam Zaman. This can make us more near to him (AS).
