   By implementing the Islamic economic programs they should resolve their   
   economic problems and fight against poverty, unemployment, and concentration   
   of illicit wealth. By adopting the divinely ordained laws they should rid   
   themselves of injustices and    
   corruption. In short, they should commit themselves to set in motion the   
   realization of an Islamic political, social, economic, and legal system, and   
   present this to the world as a viable alternative.   
      
   More importantly, Muslims should learn modern sciences with extreme   
   seriousness in order to not only benefit themselves but also other societies   
   around the world. They should, in fact, seek to be the leaders in all fields   
   of human knowledge. Through    
   their own religious and scientific progress they should demonstrate to the   
   entire world that Islamic laws and ethics can serve as the ideal global system   
   that strikes the balance between this and the next world. Moreover, by   
   combining the concerns of a    
   complete legal codex with the spiritual and moral concerns of the Islamic   
   system, Muslims can become the source of emulation for a humane political,   
   social and economic system.   
      
   In other words, Muslims have the obligation of excelling in every possible   
   field related to the betterment of human society in order to provide each   
   discipline with the moral and spiritual dimensions that Islam seeks from its   
   followers. It is only then    
   that they can expect to lead and to establish an ideal Islamic system under   
   the leadership of the Mahdi.   
   Those who are engaged in these endeavors to make the revolution of the Mahdi   
   possible and successful are the ones who are truly awaiting for deliverance   
   through the appearance of the twelfth Imam (peace be upon him). These   
   hard-working, self-sacrificing    
   individuals are the soldiers of the twelfth Imam and can be compared with   
   those who are actually on the field of battle fighting the forces of evil and   
   wickedness.
