In another hadith our Holy Prophet says:


"Just as the stars are the source of safety for the denizens of heaven, my Ahl-e-Bait are the source of safety for my Ummat (for my community)."


Imam Ja' far as-Sadiq has said: "If there were only two men inhabiting this earth, one would surely be an Imam."


This explains that the Divine Noor guides through the physical manifestation which is the Imam. Imam's birthday is a unique occasion and has a spiritual bearing because Imam's physical presence is an evidence of Allah's Mercy upon mankind. It is with this understanding that we should seek to find supreme peace and happiness in Imam's Noor which is Eternal.Hazrat Imam Zainul-Abedeen says:


"We Imams are the Face of Allah" and God says in the Holy Qur'an: "Everyone that is thereon will pass away; there remainth but the Face of thy Lord of Might and Glory." - Ch. 55 - vs. 26, 27
