Imam Mahdi Unexpected Appearance” proclaims the title of a video posted on YouTube. A miraculous figure of glowing, brilliant, white light appeared on a video filmed in Karbala, Iraq, on the night of Ashura.

But who is Mahdi?


IMAM MAHID (AJ ) IS THE SHITTE'S 12 TH IMAM (AS) AND HE IS FROM THE PREGONY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SAWW) .....................

IMAM MAHDI (AJ) IN HOLY QURAN

In the Holy Qur'an, Allah says: And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who were deemed weak in the land, and to make them the Imams, and to make them the heirs. [28:5]

[50:41] And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quiet near
[50:42] The day when they shall hear the cry in truth; that is the day of coming forth.


الم ذٰلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ

Alif Lam Mim. This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil). Those who believe in the unseen [2: 1-3]

وَيَقُولُونَ لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَا الْغَيْبُ لِلَّهِ فَانتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ الْمُنتَظِرِينَ

And they say: Why is not a sign sent to him from his Lord? Say: The unseen is only for Allah; therefore wait– surely I too, with you am of those who wait. [10: 20]

وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

And that they should not be like those who were given the Book before, but the time became prolonged to them, so their hearts hardened, and most of them are transgressors. [57: 16]

These are some verses referring to the occultation of the Imam (atf).



IMAM MAHDI (AJ) IN HADITH

Sahih sources:

-The Prophet had prophesied 12 Successors
-There will be a Caliph in the end times, and he therefore be the last (12th)
-He will come from Quraysh (the tribe of the Prophet)
-He will be an Imam (leader) among us
-He will be around at the time of the return of the Messiah Jesus (a)
-The Messiah Jesus (a) will recognize his authority

These hadiths by themselves confirm the Imam Mehdi as an end-times reviver of the Muslim Ummah.

Sunan at-Tirmidhi, v2, p86, v9, pp 74-75

�Even if the entire duration of the world�s existence has already been exhausted and only one day is left [before the day of judgment], Allah will expand that day to such a length of time, as to accommodate the kingdom of a person from Ahlul Bayt, who will be called by my name. He will fill out the earth with peace and justice as it will have been full of injustice and tyrannyProphet Muhammed

Abdullah ibn Mas�ud narrates a similar hadith of the Prophet Muhammed in Tirmidhi, where he is said to have proclaimed This world will not come to an end until one person from my progeny rules over the Arabs, and his name will be the same as my name

-This Caliph will definitely rule at the end times, possibly even the last term before the Judgment
-He will come from Ahlul Bayt, the family of the Prophet
-His name will be Muhammed
-He will have a kingdom from among the Arabs (this may signify the Middle East)
-He will fill the earth with justice and peace

Mahdi is the 12th imam and the last who will be arriving on day of Judgement. Jesus will also arrive on this day he will be praying behing Imam Madhi.
