The Justice of Allah [swt] and the Existence of Imam Al-Mahdi [atf]


The justice of Allah [swt] also necessitates the existence of Imam Al-Mahdi [atf] on this earth. There are always four forces acting on a human being, and there is a constant struggle between them. Two are external and two are internal. The two internal opposing forces are the Aql, or the intellect, and the inner soul that is prone to evil (al-nafs al-ammara). Allah [swt] has created Iblis, the devil. The devil seeks to misguide the people. The devil is an external force that is always pulling us to deviation. The justice of Allah [swt] entails that there also must be an external force that serves to cancel out or defy the forces of the devil. Throughout history, this role has been mainly assumed by the prophets of Allah [swt]. Now, the one who assumes this role is Imam Al-Mahdi [atf]. The justice of Allah [swt] entails that if the devil is present and misleading the people, there must be a completely infallible being who represents the source of full guidance. That being is Imam Al-Mahdi [atf].
