  1. Happy Didar. I `m very glad that Iranian could visit their Imam. I hope that Imam can come to Iran and other people in iran can visit him . I think , It `s very important that we do Imam`s farmans. Imam is all places , we should understant this point . Only by didar a person cann`t be a good person. Internal didar is very important. I hope that all people can have a internal Didar.
