Engineer Madani: Is belief in the promised Mahdi confined to the followers of Islam, or does it exist in other religions too?Mr. Hoshyar: In fact, this belief is not limited to the Muslims alone. In almost all religions and heavenly creeds one can find a similar belief in the future savior. The followers of these religions believe that there will come a time when the world will become corrupt and engulfed in a crisis. Evil and injustice will ...
Concluding Remarks
1. The Book of Allah in its written form makes the universal message of Islam fairly known to the Muslims/non-Muslims who can read Arabic with understanding. Exhorting the believers to reach a higher understanding, Allah expects them to ponder at the deeper meaning of His last message to mankind. At this higher level, Muslim scholars have put excellent efforts to elucidate the deeper meanings of the Qur'an's ...

Salute this nation, your salutation brings about peace to them.

Necessity of the Existence of Imam al-Mahdi (AS)
This article addresses the necessity of the existence of the Representative of Allah on the earth at any time. The opponents of Shia protest that although Shia consider the Imam necessary in order to expound the injunctions and verities of religion and to guide the people, the occultation of the Imam is the negation of this very purpose, for an Imam in occultation who cannot be reached by ...
As the devotees of our beloved occulted Imam (may Allah hasten his reappearance), we often speak about the idea of awaiting our Imam. There are many narrations which confirm that exercising Intidhar Al Faraj (awaiting the relief) is the best and most important type of worship. It is the best form of Jihad, and Imam Ali (peace be upon him) has said, "Await the relief, and do not become desperate from the Spirit of Allah, as the best of deeds near ...
The Prophet Isaiah also speaks to us of this fire when he says: “But all of you are kindlers of fire, lighters of firebrands. Walk in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that you have kindled!” (25) Isaiah tells us that each one of us lights the flames of our own fire when we turn our back on God: when we sin. It is our own sins that stir up the inner fire that burns us and makes us suffer. Saint Augustine tells us that any man who ...
The Shi'ah, along with some Sunni scholars, believe that his father was Imam Al-'Askari (as) (d. 2260/874). There are approximately 31 Sunni scholars who confirm this reference, and the overwhelming majority of prophetic traditions about Al-Mahdi (as) state that the name of Al-Mahdi (as) is the same as the name of the Prophet Muhammad (saws). However, there exists a single Sunni report that has an additional phrase stating that his father's name ...
2.3 Human responses to deviations - revolutions without divine guidance Man who is unschooled in true spiritual matters has no base from which he may judge matters of spiritual significance. This does not prevent him from using his natural inclination towards justice in which he may determine that ills have resulted from religious deviations. This has tended to lead man to discard religion entirely without searching for truth, at times ...

Imam Mahdi’s (A.S) OccultationImam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (A.S) has brought up the subject of Imam Mahdi (A.S)’s occultation in different occasions within the limits of his audience intellectual and understanding abilities and according to the natural trend of events in the future.On an occasion he points to the necessity of the existence of a divine Hujjah on the earth, even more, in the entire universe. Then he notes that this Hujjah ...
In one source we found that the emergence of al-mahdÊ is related with the attitude of unjust ruler who exploited the rights of people. This is mentioned by al-TirmÊdhÊ on the report of Abu Hurayrah who heard from the Prophet (pbuh) said, At the end of the day, my ummah will be given the severe test from their rulers until it is felt as if the whole land is so small. In that situation, Allah will send a person from my family to overwhelm with ...
Similar hadith can be referred to the report of Imam ÑAli b. Ùalib who heard from the Prophet (pbuh) in which he said, When there is only one day left Allah will send a person from us (family of the Prophet) and the world will be overwhelmed with justice as previously was full of injustice. Again, this is the tradition which directly mentions al-mahdi as narrated by Imam ÑAli b. Abi Ùalib who heard from the Prophet in which he said, Al-mahdi ...
The devil will remain in this situation until Parusia of Christ. Then, all bad angels and Satan, will be thrown for ever to hell pains; here are also thrown, after the death (XIX, 20, XX,10) and tools and their adepts from the men. The age of decreasing Satan power on humanity is concomitant to that of realm of Christ and His chosen people. Saint Apostle and evangelist Ioan said that the duration of this age will be of “one thousand years”, ...
