Dāʿī
All throughout his youth he utilised most of his time either being with the Da'i al-Mutlaq and helping the Da'i al-Mutlaq in doing religious tasks and at the same time learning from them. Or he was with his father learning the finer points of becoming a Da'i al-Mutlaq. Or he involved himself in doing some activity for the betterment of the members of the community. Or he would lose himself in the books of knowledge.
