Imam mahdi where is he now

During that short period when the tyrants of both sides were busy with each other, the Imam was teaching Jurisprudence and theology in classes with as much as students. No need to mention that Abu Hanifa was one of his students. Now the time is for action. Even Prophet Muhammad said: "No Prophet was ever annoyed as much as me". They will not kill him like they did with the others, nor do they treat him unjustly. They will rather accept him. Of course, this will not happen till people of the word undergo much heavier afflictions, world-wide wars, mass destructions by satanic powers such as Dajjal and Sufyani which are not difficult to foresee in a near future.

Imam al-Mahdi will come when all types of ideologies are tested and they fail. At that time people will understand that they do not have any more solution and they will accept the solution of Imam al-Mahdi easily. For instance, look at communism which came to practice in Russia years ago. People of the world at that time thought that this would be the best way of life which guarantees the prosperity of mankind.

But to their surprise, it crashed recently from within itself showing that this solution is failed in practice. Now some people think that Capitalism may solve their problems completely. This system is also about to crash, because the whole system is based on interest Riba.

The situation has reached to the point that people of the USA have the heaviest debt in the world. The studies even show that People here will never be able to pay their debt in full. And this was just from economy point of view. People also suffer from other type of corruption, lust, and lack of spiritualities, etc.

Such system is subject to crash sooner or later, one way or another. Imam al-Mahdi as will come when he has top virtuous helpers become available. Imam al-Mahdi can not govern the world with no helper, minister, etc.

The communities should generate these top individuals. In fact, non of our other 11 Imams had such number of high rank followers. Let me give you two examples:. Another example:. Sahl al-Khurasani said: "O son of the Messenger of Allah!

You are of the Imams of Ahlul-Bayt. What prevents you from getting your right i. The Imam as asked him to sit down, and then ordered to turn on the oven that was in the house. After the oven became very hot and turned red, the Imam as said: "O Khurasani step into the oven and sit in it. Do not punish me by fire and make it easy for me. He did so and the Imam as started talking to Sahl about Khurasan as if nothing has happened.

After some time, the Imam as said: "O Khurasani stand up and look inside the oven. Then Imam al-Sadiq as asked Harun to come out of oven and he came out healthy with no burn or injury.

At this time, the Imam as asked Sahl: "How many individuals do you know in Khurasan like this man? We know better about the proper time. The traditions state that Imam al-Mahdi needs followers which are not only sincere and faithful, but also possess supreme knowledge and wisdom.

Imam al-Mahdi should also have another 40, faithful followers who will fill the secondary positions. These people will not fall out of sky! It is up to us to educate our communities which could help to bring up such people, by first starting from our family, and friends, then school, then city, and then country to the extent our ability.

We should however start from ourselves to avoid sin and to acquire more knowledge and wisdom and become more obedient to Allah. She actually saw the Lady Fatimah sa in dream who told her to travel near the border where the Muslim army were fighting, and to become captive, and to be sold to the agent of Imam al-Askari who would be waiting for the arrival of the captives to the city.

I need to mention that the birth of al-Mahdi as was an event surrounded with secrecy, because the Abbasid authorities knew that the Mahdi who is to bring about a revolution is going to be the son of the eleventh Imam of Ahlul-Bayt, and were awaiting his coming to capture him for execution. A variety of names were used in an effort to fool the authorities, and to prevent them from recognizing who she was. That was part and parcel of the plan to protect the Mahdi as. Had the father as been slightly negligent in protecting his son, it is clear that al-Mahdi as would not have survived.

The story of birth of Imam al-Mahdi is like that of the Moses. All the women in the house of Imam al-Askari were being regularly inspected by female specialists of the Abbasid to find out if anyone has become pregnant. But no doubt that what Allah wishes will certainly take place.

Given these adverse conditions and hardships, the birth of the Imam as was kept in utmost secrecy, that even the followers of Imam al-Askari as , did not know of the time of the birth of al-Mahdi as. Only very few close associates were notified. The obvious contention was that the birth of Imam al-Mahdi as constituted a direct threat to the continuance of the corrupt government to rule. This situation is best understood when we refer back to the first few years of Islam when the Prophet S preached the religion in utmost secrecy among a few loyal followers.

The Prophet S feared for the lives of these believers and, as such, he forbade them from revealing any information that might jeopardize the entire mission. Below I have included the name of 31 Sunni scholars who confirm this fact.

The overwhelming majority of prophetic traditions about Imam al-Mahdi some of which I mentioned in the previous part state that the name of Imam al-Mahdi is the same as the name of the Prophet i. In fact, Sunnis narrated that:. Abdullah d. Abdullah used all his power and wealth to support the revolt of his son. Abdullah concealed his son several times during the Umayad period when there was still no danger for him. When he was asked why he did this, he said: "What an idea, their time has not come yet.

Muhammad Ibn Abdillah started his claims at the end of the rule of the Umayad caliphs. It is necessary to shun this because of the domination of ruling sector and leadership by hypocrites, arrogant, sinful people. It will be virtually impossible for God fearing persons to attain any position of leadership at this time. They should shun them. These sinful people and enemies of Allah and His Prophet will entrench themselves and continue their oppression until the awaited Imam Mahdi appears and eliminates them.

When these sinful people are swept away, then maybe the God fearing people may again aspire to positions of leadership. He is called the awaited one because numerous people have made claims to being the Mahdi. When he appears, Imam Mahdi will reform Islam and restore it to its pristine purity.

He will entrench justice and equity and spread the religion far and wide. This will happen around AH plus years. Blessed Appearance. Appearance of Imam Mahdi. Listen to his order and obey him. His era will be full of goodness and blessings. There will be justice everywhere on earth. A proclaimer will come, raising his voice that he is Mahdi, the caliph of Allah. Therefore, you must obey him. There will be a difference of opinion at the time of the demise of a caliph.
