Answer:

In the name of Allah the beneficent the Merciful

Holy Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) said: “Oh Ali me and you are the fathers of this nation, and from this nation of martyrs the holy prophet and (Ameer al-momneen) Imam Ali (A) the fathers of the martyrs from Habeel to the martyrs of our time and day, with the awaited Imam al-Mahdi (A) and for this reason we say, “oh Allah grant me martyrdom alongside him (Imam al-Mahdi (A)). And this type of fatherhood is streaming through the whole nation, and so is the awaited Imam of our time he is also the father of the martyrs just like his grandfather and his successor.
