Imam Mahdi

Allah (SWT), the Almighty, has blessed our beloved living Imam - Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) with many special bounties that He has not given anyone else. This tells us how important Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) is and how much Allah (SWT) loves our beloved Imam.

Abi Talib and the last is the Mahdi." 94 hadith on: "The Imams are twelve, and the last one is the Mahdi." 107 hadith on: "The Imams are twelve, nine among whom are the descendants

 The question of infallibility leads us to the question of Divine designation. The Shi'ah scholars say that Imamate is a favour of Allah, and as such it must exist.

 Imam Mahdi (PBUH) in the Zoroastrian holy books

In “Zand”, one of the holy books of Zoroastrians, the end of the world is discussed in this way, “Then, Izadan will be aided by Ahoora Mazda and will gain a great victory against Ahrimans. It is after Izadan victory that human beings will become prosperous”…

 "The Prophet once said that even if a day remained for the end of this world He would prolong the day unless and until, from the progeny of my house, a person is born whose name would be my name and his father would have the name of my father and he would fill the world with justice as (by that time) it would be full of atrocities, he would equally distribute the wealth and would enrich the hearts of believers.

  The word "Mahdi", obviously, is an Arabic word, which literally means the guided one or one who

 Let it be emphasized that these books, in the view of Shiite, are not holy books. In fact these are adaptations of past Scriptures and are created by the nature of pure men and these predictions should be merely of revelation sources. In “Basque”; one of holy books of Indians: “The two worlds shall end to a just king in apocalypse who is the leader of angels and mankind, and truth and rightfulness will be with him…and he will gain what is hidden in the seas and lands and sky.”

 One of the common beliefs among all nations and religions is believing in a divine savior who is the cause of vast blessings and charity for human being. Of course, such savior differs from one nation to another; and it would be discussed in the article: “Mahdi in religions”.

Believing in a savior is in human’s nature that causes hope giving and inspiring. Shia- like other schools - insists explicitly on existence of a savior, Mahdi (AJ), but the difference is that in

The humane characteristics of the community Imam Mahdi (A.S)

This article aims to cite, though briefly, some characteristics of the society which is going to be set up by Imam Mahdi (A.S). The government of Imam Mahdi (A.S) is a religion-worldwide government; however, it is not the government of stereotypes. In other words, it doesn't mean that it would be a world full of identical people who think and act in a similar fashion just like machines do; they will not have identical
