Imam and his role


Salam alaikum,

shia shaykh al-Mufid said in his “Nuqat al-itiqadiyah” (p 39):

p39_nuqad_ala imam

Translation:

Imam that is a man which is a chief of ordinary men in a matters of religion and worldly matters on the behalf of prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam).

I have a honest question to the sane shias.

HOW YOUR 12-TH IMAM IS LEADING YOU IN RELIGIOUS AND WORLDLY MATTERS?
