Knowing Your Imam Part 2 - The Birth of Imam Mehdi [aj] - Sheikh Safdar Razi

Philosophy of the Delay of Reappearance with the Presence of Conditions


By: Ayatullah al-Uzma Lutfullah as-Safi al-Gulpaygani
QUESTION: Throughout history, we sometimes come across conditions and opportunities in which it is assumed the requisites for reappearance are present, for example, the people’s receptiveness to religion, self-sacrifice in the path of Islam, giving their lives, and martyrdom for it was to such an extent or with such fervor and commotion that it appears that rather than 313 people, thousands of people are ready to sacrifice their lives under the command of the Imam (peace be upon him). With the existence of these conditions, what is the secret of the delay of the reappearance?
ANSWER: Regarding the presence of the conditions for the reappearance of the Imam of the Age (may Allah hasten his return): First, no one can claim to know with certainty, that is, say that all the conditions are fulfilled, since this claim itself requires knowledge of all the conditions, since it is possible that the traditions have not comprised an exposition of all of the conditions.
Second, assuming that the conditions are limited to those instances that have come in the traditions, as Shaykh al-Saduq has said, in reality one can still not be sure that those particular 313 companions and the remaining conditions are present.
This is because if all of the conditions and circumstances apparently indicate the presence of the requisites of reappearance, without denying, for example, the existence of pure individuals who can be counted among the 313 companions of the Imam (peace be upon him), we also cannot claim that all of the individuals are like Salman, Abu Dhar, Miqdad, Rashid Hijri, and the people of Karbala’.
In the present situation, with all the claims that are put forward in our society for returning to and aspiring at Islam, which are certainly a matter of pride, we still see that many bring the Divine laws under question in a large number of political, economical, and social issues. This is to such an extent that they regard some religious commandments that are not exclusive to a particular time or place as being restricted to the Prophet’s (peace be upon him and his family) time and on this pretext free themselves from responsibility. With the existence of such individuals and events, how can we say that the conditions for reappearance are ready, let alone asking about the reason for it delay?
On this basis, in this issue it is appropriate for us to submit to the command and will of Allah, the All-Knowing, and not forgo the merit of waiting for the reappearance. And as was indicated in the tradition of ‘Ali ibn Mahziyar, we should attribute the concealment of the Imam (peace be upon him) to our own actions and always keep the memory of that personage alive in our hears and try to bring about the requisites of his appearance ever more by reforming our own actions.


The Length of the Occultation and Difficult and Formidable Trials
QUESTION: According to what is well known, during the occultation of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his return), which will be very lengthy, difficult trials will occur such that a person will be a believer in the morning but a disbeliever in the evening. Are these types of trials in the time near the reappearance or will such trials occur throughout the period of occultation?
ANSWER: According to Islamic principles, the world is a place of tests and trials and people are in a state of being tried during everything that happens to them. During youth and old age, whether wealthy or in need, in health and illness, when in power, when in leadership, they are always in a state of trial; it makes no difference whether the Imam (peace be upon him) is present or in occultation.
The Qur’an says in this regard:


أَحَسِبَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُتْرَكُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لاَ يُفْتَنُونَ

"Have the people presumed they would be released upon saying, ‘We believe,’ without being tested?"[76]
As we know, during the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) himself, while all of the programs and incidents were a test, sometimes, severe trials would occur, in which none but a few were able to fulfill their obligation. For example, in battle, aside from individuals like ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) and Abu Dujana and a few others, none were able to stand firm in jihad and defense of Islam and the Prophet. This is because during severe trials, only a limited number of people have the ability to stand firm; many an individual would flee out f fear. It has been related that in on the battles ‘Uthman fled from the battlefield and returned after three days. Or after the Prophet’s (peace be upon him and his family) demise, such a severe trial came to pass that not more than three or seven people were able to successfully perform their duty and remain firm on the line that the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) had specified. Afterwards as well, such trials continued and shall continue, so that, in the words of the Qur’an:

لِيَمِيزَ الْخَبِيثَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِ

"…so that Allah separates the impure from the pure."[77]
These trials have wisdom and many benefits, among which is that the disposition of the people of the world and society become ready for that dignified reappearance in which the resolute and steadfast believers will be separated from the remaining people. Preserving one’s faith during the period of the Imam’s (peace be upon him) occultation is possible by enduring very severe difficulties. Without doubt, millions of people leave this school of trials with pride and heads held high, that is through patience and forbearance and perseverance in difficulties, they succeed in preserving their religion, faith, and honor.
According to the content of some traditions, during this period protecting one’s religion will become more difficult than holding fire in the palm of one’s hand, and oppression, injustice, corruption, and perversion will become prevalent. Values will be regarded as being against values, and things opposed to values will be regarded as values. Sins will be considered a matter of pride and accomplishment. One’s friends will encourage and induce him to sin and reproach him for not cooperating with oppressors, sinners, and corrupt people.
Women will enter into work exclusive to men. Many wars and natural afflictions will come about. In a tradition of Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari regarding the commentary of the verse:

أَطِيعُوا اللهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ

"(O you who believe
Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority amongst you (the legatees of the Messenger)."[78]
It has come that the Noble Messenger (peace be upon him and his family) gives news about his khulafa’ and successors from Imam ‘Ali (peace be upon him) until Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his return), names them one after one and gives tidings to the people about the conquering of the East and West of the world at the blessed hands of Imam al-Mahdi (may Allah hasten his return), and says, inter alia:
"
ذَالَكَ الَّذِي يُغِيبُ عَنْ شِيعَتِهِ وَأَوْلِيَائِهِ غَيْبَةً لاَ يُثْبِتُ فِيهَا عَلَى الْقَوْلِ بِإِمَامَتِهِ إِلاَّ مَنِ امْتَحَنَ اللهُ قَلْبَهُ لِلإِيمَانِ
."
"He is the one who will be concealed from his Shi‘a and friends such a concealment that none shall remain firm in belief in his Imamah except one whose heart Allah has tested for faith."[79]
And Amir al-Mu’minin has also informed about these difficulties and tribulations in Nahj al-Balagha. In one instance, he says;

مَا أَطْوَلَ هَذَا العِنَاءِ وَأَبْعَدَ هَذَا الرَّجَاءِ
.
"How lengthy is this adversity, and how distant is this hope!"[80]
It has even been related, in another tradition, that:

إِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ هَذَا الأَمْرِ غَيْبَةً اَلْمُتَمَسِّكُ فِيهَا بِدِينِهِ كَالْخَارَطِ لِلْقِتَادِ
.
"Verily the Master of this Affair has a such a concealment that one who grips firmly to his religion during it is like one who picks thorns with his hands."[81]
Therefore, as can be understood from the traditions, the entire period of concealment is a period of trial and examination; of course, the types of those trials are different in the different times and places. The believer during this period must show perseverance in abiding by the commandments of religion and struggling to elevate the word of Islam and honor of the Muslims and to repel the influence and cultural and political domination of foreigners. He must be in combat and jihad with all negative and unhelpful circumstances and conditions and be hopeful of the victory of Islam and the Muslims and the succor of Allah. He must not lose hold of himself in face of the power and strength of the disbelievers or become inclined towards their improper behavior. And at the same time he must have certainty that the promises of Allah and the Prophet of Allah are true and that eventually Islam will be victorious and conquer the world, as a result of which justice and equity shall fill the world.

The Mark of the Prophet Is on His Shoulder


The Mahdi will have the sign of our Prophet (saas) on his shoulder.
(al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar, p. 41)

The sign of the Prophet (saas) is on his shoulder.
(Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah, p. 165; Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi, p. 23)


The mark of the Prophet (saas) is on his shoulder.
(Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah, p. 163)

As can be seen from these hadiths, the Mahdi will have "the sign of the Prophet (saas)," an evident mark, between his shoulders. Islamic sources describe this mark as follows:

Jabir ibn Samura narrates:
The seal of the Messenger of Allah (saas) was the size of a pigeon's egg. (Tirmidhi)

Abdullah ibn Sarjis narrates:
I saw the seal of the Prophet (saas) between his shoulder blades, the left part covered with freckles reminiscent of warts. (Ibn Kathir, Shamail Rasul, p. 53)

Abu Saib ibn Yazid relates that: "My eye saw the seal of the Prophet (saas) between his shoulders."
(Sunan Tirmidhi, 6:126)


(He will have a mole shaped like a leaf on his shoulder blade)

Abu Basir quotes Imam Muhammad Baqir (as) or Ja'far as-Sadiq (as) (the uncertainty stems from the narrator) that he said: ... There will be a leaf below and to the left of his left shoulder blade, just like the leaf of the myrtle.

(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani, p. 253)

Since a mole, referred to here as one whose edges are leaf-shaped, it appears the reference is to one that will be the color of skin, and that it is a mole with distinct edges and raised above the level of the skin, thus resembling a leaf in shape and of the color of a faded leaf.

Jenis-jenis al-Mahdi


Jenis-jenis al-Mahdi

Berdasarkan huraian dan keterangan ulama terdahulu, terdapat beberapa jenis al-Mahdi. Jika digabungkan semua pendapat dan hujah para ulama sejak zaman-berzaman, maka didapatlah beberapa jenis Mahdi. Berikut ini adalah beberapa jenis Mahdi dan huraiannya secara serba ringkas.

1.Mahdi dalam hal kebaikan, yaitu Khalifah Umar bin Abdul Aziz. Maka tidaklah salah jika kita meletakkan seseorang sebagai Imam Mahdi karena Khalifah Umar bin Abdul Aziz sendiri digelar orang sebagai Imam Mahdi, selagi yang dimaksudkan itu bukan Imam Mahdi yang sebenar. Tidak bolehlah kita menghukum sesat kepada seseorang yang mendakwa orang lain sebagai Imam Mahdi, selagi yang didakwa itu bukan bermaksud Imam Mahdi sebenar. Jika gelaran Mahdi itu salah jika diberikan kepada seseorang, tentulah para tabiin menjadi orang pertama yang menentangnya dengan sekeras-kerasmya. Mereka jugalah yang pertama yang akan menghukum si pendakwa itu sebagai sesat, syirik dan membahayakan akidah.


2.Mahdi dalam hal peperangan yaitu orang yang sentiasa bergelimang dalam peperangan fi sabilillah. Dalam kes ini, Mahdi yang dimaksudkan adalah sekumpulan orang, yaitu orang-orang yang istiqamah dalam urusan perjuangan mereka itu, demi menegak dan meninggikan kalimah Allah di atas muka bumi ini.


3.Mahdi dalam hal agama yaitu Nabi Isa bin Maryam AS. Beliau adalah orang yang sempurna Mahdinya yaitu tidak pernah melakukan dosa dan maksiat, yang bersifat dengan maksum, karena beliau adalah seorang nabi dan rasul, malah rasul yang Ulul ‘Azmi. Maka karena itulah beliau dianggap sebagai Imam Mahdi yang sempurna agamanya. Pemerintahannya ke atas seluruh dunia selepas kemangkatan Imam Mahdi adalah suatu yang pasti karena sudah disebutkan oleh Rasulullah SAW sendiri.


4.Mahdi dalam hal pemerintahan yaitu Khulafa ur-Rasyidin yang berempat. Mereka dikatakan khalifah ‘yang mendapat petunjuk’ dalam pemerintahan mereka. Dan penggunaan istilah ‘yang mendapat petunjuk’ itu bermaksud bahwa mereka juga adalah al-Mahdi bagi umat ini, dan jumlah al-Mahdi ini adalah empat orang seperti yang lazim diketahui umum.


5.Imam al-Mahdi yang Muntazar, hanya seorang sahaja yaitu Muhammad bin Abdullah, Ahlulbait AS. Inilah al-Mahdi yang sebenar, yang telah menimbulkan terlalu banyak kontroversi, suatu jawatan yang cukup diminati oleh sekian banyak orang, yang dibuktikan dengan terlalu banyaknya dakwaan sebagai Imam Mahdi. Namun satu perkara yang pasti adalah, al-Mahdi yang sebenar tetaplah Imam Mahdi, manakala yang palsu tetap akan lenyap. Ini sesuai dengan firman Allah SWT, “Apabila datang yang hak, yang batil pasti akan sirna…”


6.Mahdi palsu yang sentiasa muncul di sana-sini dari semasa ke semasa. Inilah al-Mahdi palsu, yaitu golongan yang coba mengambil kesempatan di atas kejahilan dan kelemahan umat Islam untuk tujuan pribadi. Namun yang batil tetaplah batil, akhirnya pasti akan lenyap ditelan zaman, lenyap bersama-sama dengan lenyapnya si pendakwa dirinya Imam Mahdi itu.


7.Mahdi di kalangan para aulia Allah. Mereka ini adalah wali-wali besar pada zaman mereka dan menjadi pemerintah bagi sekalian wali pada zaman masing-masing. Mereka ini adalah para Wali Qutub dan Wali Ghaus, yang mempunyai peranan yang cukup besar dalam Wilayah Auliya. Peranan mereka tidak begitu dikesan oleh orang awam, tetapi cukup dirasakan oleh kalangan wali-wali dan para solihin.


8.Mahdi yang diambil berkat yaitu orang yang menggunakan gelaran al-Mahdi pada hujung namanya, bukan sebagai tokoh yang khas. Oleh karena Mahdi itu bermaksud orang yang mendapat petunjuk, maka beberapa orang pemerintah turut menggunakan gelaran al-Mahdi, dengan tujuan mengambil berkat daripada pribadi sebenar yang digelar al-Mahdi itu. Orang Melayu menamakan anak mereka dengan Mahadi, sebagai mengambil berkat tersebut.

Imam Mahdi Lebih Utama Dari Sebahagian Sahabat RA

A. Ibnu Sirin RH, seorang tabiin yang terkenal, menerangkan bahawa,

“Al-Mahdi adalah lebih afdhal daripada ayah dan bapa saudaraku.”

Ucapan oleh tokoh tabiin ini tidaklah melampau atau melebihi daripada apa yang sepatutnya diucapkannya. Memang benar, Imam Mahdi adalah lebih afdhal daripada sebahagian besar sahabat Nabi SAW kerana sudah jelas bahawa Imam Mahdi itu bertaraf Khalifah, maka jelaslah baginda lebih afdhal daripada sebahagian besar sahabat RA.

Ini bolehlah diakui dengan melihat beberapa perkara yang patut kita jadikan perbandingan, sebagai menyokong ucapan oleh tokoh tabiin itu:

1.Para sahabat RA diredhai oleh Allah secara umum, melalui dua peristiwa besar iaitu Perang Badar Kubra dan Baiatur Ridhwan, Perjanjian Hudaibiyah. Imam Mahdi disebutkan dalam beberapa hadis secara khusus sebagai orang yang diredhai dan pemerintahannya juga diredhai. Maka antara yang khusus dengan yang umum, yang khusus adalah lebih utama.
2.Pemerintahannya bertaraf Khalifah, dan merupakan salah seorang Khalifah Allah dan Khalifah Rasulullah SAW, yang sama tarafnya dengan Khulafa ur-Rasyidin. Tentulah baginda lebih afdhal daripada kebanyakan sahabat RA, yang tidak bertaraf khalifah.
3.Beberapa orang sahabat RA adalah orang yang dijamin masuk syurga oleh Nabi SAW. Antaranya ialah sahabat yang sepuluh, diikuti yang empat puluh. Imam Mahdi juga sudah dijamin oleh Nabi SAW akan masuk syurga, malah merupakan salah seorang pemimpin di syurga. Tentulah kedudukannya ini lebih afdhal daripada sebahagian sahabat RA yang lain, yang hanya dijamin masuk syurga tetapi tidak menjadi pemimpin di syurga.
4.Imam Mahdi adalah sama taraf dengan Khalifah yang berempat. Mereka yang berempat itu adalah lebih utama daripada para sahabat RA yang lain. Maka Imam Mahdi juga tentulah lebih afdhal juga daripada sahabat RA, seperti yang diakui itu kerana beliau bertaraf khalifah juga.
5.Pemerintahan Khalifah yang berempat sudah pun disebutkan oleh Nabi SAW, secara tersirat dan tersurat. Maknanya mereka adalah sebaik-baik sahabat daripada sekalian sahabat RA yang ada. Imam Mahdi juga ditunjukkan sebagai Khalifah, kali ini secara yang amat tersurat, iaitu jelas dan terang. Maka tentulah kedudukannya lebih afdhal daripada sebilangan besar sahabat RA yang lain. Para sahabat RA juga mengaku akan kelebihan Imam Mahdi ini berbanding diri mereka sendiri, kerana Imam Mahdi itu apabila zahir kelak, dan jika para sahabat RA masih hidup lagi (jika ada), tentulah para sahabat RA itu mahu tidak mahu, akan menjadi rakyat dan makmum kepada Imam Mahdi. Sedangkan Nabi Isa AS yang sudah bertaraf rasul yang Ulul Azmi itu pun menjadi makmum kepada Imam Mahdi, inikan pula para sahabat RA yang kedudukan mereka adalah lebih rendah daripada Nabi Isa AS. Penunjukan dan pelantikannya sebagai khalifah sudah diisytiharkan oleh Rasulullah SAW sendiri.
6.Afdhal yang dimaksudkan di sini bukanlah keutamaan sebagai sahabat yang dapat bergaul dan berkumpul dengan Nabi SAW. Dari segi itu, memang sahabat RA adalah paling utama. Afdhal yang dimaksudkan oleh Imam Ibnu Sirin ini adalah dari segi keutamaan sebagai seorang pemimpin, keutamaan dari segi zamannya, pemerintahannya dan juga sebagai salah seorang ahli syurga. Itu sahaja. Keutamaan adalah berbeza daripada afdhal. Sila perhatikan perbezaannya baik-baik.
7.Malah di kalangan Ahlulbait yang ada pun, memang Imam Mahdi adalah lebih utama daripada sekalian yang lain, kecuali yang disebutkan di dalam hadis ini. Mereka yang berenam itu lebih utama daripada Imam Mahdi, jika dilihat dari segi apa pun, kecuali dalam bab pemerintahan dan kemasyhuran.

JUSTICE DURING THE TIME OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)


Earth will be filled with equity and justice, just as it was previously filled with oppression and tyranny. (Abu Dawud)
... There will be no injustice or oppression under his [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] rule. (Ad-Dani)
The earth fills with justice. (Imam Rabbani, Letters of Imam Rabbani, vol. 1, no.251)
He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will distribute wealth evenly among people. His justice will permeate everywhere. Earth, replete with violence and wickedness, will overflow with justice upon his arrival. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar, p. 23)
HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL RULE WITH EQUITY AND JUSTICE

The lord of believers (saas) says: "... THE IMAM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL BETTER KNOW WHAT IS TRUE AND WHAT IS FALSE. HE WILL DO AWAY WITH FALSE LAWS. HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL PREVENT DANGERS AND NEUTRALIZE YOUR UNJUST RULERS AND WILL CLEANSE THE WORLD OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT HONEST. HE WILL ACT WITH EQUITY AND BUILD A MERCIFUL SCALE OF JUSTICE AMONG YOU... If you wait, you will be rewarded and YOU WILL REALIZE THAT IS DEFINITELY THE ONE WHO WILL SALVAGE YOUR RIGHTS and take revenge for the injustice inflicted upon you. I swear by the name of Allah, that Allah is with the truly devout and those who do good.”
Kitab al Ghaybat, [Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51], Ansariyan Pubcations, collected by: Muhammad Baqr al-Majlisi, Iran-Qum, 2003, p. 182.

HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL POSSESS A HITHERTO UNSEEN CONCEPTION OF JUSTICE

If there were only one day left for the world, that day would be lengthened until a man from among the people of my household, was sent; just as the Earth is filled with cruelty, HE WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH JUSTICE.
(Sunen-i Abu Dawud, 5/92)


The Mahdi is one of my people, and HE WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH TRUTH AND JUSTICE, just as it is now filled with cruelty and torture.
(Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/93)

This (Amr) [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL FILL EARTH WITH JUSTICE, just as people previously filled it with cruelty.
(Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/348)

THE WORLD filled with oppression and tyranny WILL OVERFLOW WITH JUSTICE AFTER HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] COMES.
(Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar, p. 20.)

THERE WILL BE SUCH AN ABUNDANCE OF JUSTICE IN HAZRAT MAHDI’S (AS) TIME that just as all the goods taken away by force will be returned to their owners.

(Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 36, Number 4269)

There is no doubt that the Earth will be filled with injustice and oppression. When it is filled with oppression and cruelty, ALLAH WILL SEND ONE FROM MY AHL AL-BAYT WHOSE NAME IS MINE AND WHOSE FATHER’S NAME IS MY FATHER’S, AND HE WILL FILL THE WORLD WITH JUSTICE AND EQUITY in the same way that it was previously filled with injustice and sorrow.
(Ramuz al-Ahadith, Vol. 2, p. 346, No. 6)

(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani, p. 170)


BEDIUZZAMAN HAS REPORTED THAT 'THE BLESSED MAHDI WILL BRING JUSTICE AND VERACITY TO ALL THE WORLD'

... the Prophet’s Family has raised hundreds of sacred heroes, and produced thousands of spiritual leaders of the Umma, and has been nurtured with the leaven of the reality of the Qur’an and the light of belief and honour of Islam, and has thus been perfected. It is therefore totally reasonable that through reviving the Shari‘a of Muhammad (saas) and his Sunna and the reality of the Qur’an at the end of time, and proclaiming them and putting them into practice, THEY SHOULD DISPLAY TO THE WORLD THE PERFECT JUSTICE AND VERACITY OF THE GREAT MAHDI, THEIR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. This is also both necessary and essential and demanded by the principles of human society.

THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)

THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)
HOW HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE RECOGNISED?


Our Prophet (saas) has provided a great deal of identificatory information in the hadiths regarding the moral and physical features of the Hazrat Mahdi (as). He tells us that Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) moral values resemble his own, and praises those moral values and his fear of Allah. Our Prophet (saas) has also stated that the Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a most valuable individual who will be a means whereby people attain salvation in this world and in the Hereafter.

The chaos, oppression, climate or war and terror, strife, famines and earthquakes that have occurred in the last few decades are all portents of the coming of the Hazrat Mahdi (as). Being aware of this encourages all Muslims to learn more details about the signs of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and about his titles. Each new piece of information enhances their enthusiasm still further.

Our Prophet (saas) has provided Muslims with information about the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times. As he said in imparting this information to Muslims, “These are great glad tidings that increase the excitement and enthusiasm of all Muslims.” Together with the hadiths of our Prophet (saas), Islamic scholars have also transmitted the excitement and enthusiasm of these tidings in manuscripts that have come down from their day to ours, and have served as vehicles whereby the subject can be kept alive and monitored by the faithful. The portents that are taking place in our own time show that the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is close at hand.

The corruption, oppression, climate of war and terror, strife, famines and earthquakes that have occurred in the last few decades are all portents of the coming of the Hazrat Mahdi (as). Being aware of this encourages all Muslims to learn more details about the signs of the coming of the Hazrat Mahdi (as) and about his titles. Each new piece of information will enhance their enthusiasm still further.

The hadiths of our Prophet Muhammad (saas) describe the physical features of Hazrat Mahdi (as):

“Even if as little as a day is left of the life of the world, Allah will send an individual from my people. He will fill the world with justice, as it was (once) filled with cruelty (Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 14, p. 402)

He will be descended from our Prophet (saas)

All the prophets are related to one another. According to the hadiths, the Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also be descended from that same line. People descended from the Prophet (saas) are popularly known as “sayyid.”

Some of the hadiths that refer to the Hazrat Mahdi (as) being descended from the line of our Prophet (saas) read as follows:

It is related from the blessed Ali that the Prophet (saas) stated: “Even if no more than a day remains until Doomsday, Allah will send an individual (the Hazrat Mahdi (as)) from my Ahl al-Bayt.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/92)

Days and nights will not end until one from my house rules the entire world. (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib)

It is related from Said ibn al Musayyab that the Prophet (saas) stated: “The Hazrat Mahdi (as) is from the line of my daughter, Fatima.” (Ibn Majah, 10/348)

Learn the glad tidings of Hazrat Mahdi (as). He is from the Quraish and one of my house. (Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 13)

“Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children. His face is like a star shining in the heavens.” (Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Qari al-Hanafi “Risalat al- Mashrab al-Vardi fi mazhab al-Mahdi”)

Our Prophet (saas) said:

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a man of 40, from my line. His face is like a star shining in the heavens. (Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Qari al-Hanafi “Risalat Mashrab al Vardi fi Mazhabi’l Mahdi”)

The Prophet (saas) said:

“Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children. His face is like a bright star.” (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib)

His Face Is Beautiful and Radiant

He (the Hazrat Mahdi (as)) is a beautiful young man, with a beautiful face. The light of his face rises to his head and the blackness of his hair. (Mahdism and Imamiya, p. 153/ Ikdud, Dura)

His face is radiant like a shining star.
(Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 33)

Our Prophet (saas) said: “Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a man of 40 from my line. His face is like a star shining in the heavens.”
(Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Kari al-Hanafi, “Risalat Mashrab al Vardi fi Mazhabi’l Mahdi”)

The Prophet (saas) said:
“Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children. His face is like a bright star.” (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib”)

“He is beautiful of face. The light of his countenance bestows grandeur on him” (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s “Feraidu Fevaidi’l Fikr Fi’l Imam Al-Mahdi Al-Muntadhar”)

“He (Hazrat Mahdi (as)) is a young man of medium stature and a beautiful face. His hair falls to his shoulders. The light of his face, shines like day on the blackness of his hair, his beard and his head and gives him greatness.” (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib)

His face is like a bright star. (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’si “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar”)

His Teeth Are Bright

His teeth are bright …(Ali Ibn Husamaddin Al Muttaqi)

His Thighs Are Long

His thighs are long, and he is Arab in complexion. (Portents of the Doomsday, Barzanji, p. 162-163)

There Is a Mole on His Cheek

Hazrat Mahdi (as) has a thick beard, his front teeth are bright, there are moles on his face, and his brow is wide. (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’si “Feraidu Fevaidi’l Fikr Fi’l Imam Al-Mahdi Al-Mundhazar”)

There is a mole on his face.. (Ali Ibn Husamaddin Al Muttaqi)

There is a sign on his cheek, reminiscent of a pearl, that illuminates his face like a star.

(Muhammad ibn Rasul Al-Husayni al Barzanji, Portents of Doomsday” Pamuk Publishings, Trans: Naim Erdogan)

The Mark of Prophethood Is on His Shoulder

The mark of prophethood on our Prophet (saas) will be on the Hazrat Mahdi (as)’s shoulder.(Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 41)

The sign of the Prophet (saas) is on his shoulder. (Al-Burhan fi `Alamatal-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 23)

The sign of the Prophet (saas) is on his shoulder. (Portents of Doomsday, Barzanji, p. 163)

As can be seen from the hadiths, the “mark of prophethood,” a clear sign, will be between Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) shoulders, as was the case with the Prophet Muhammad (saas).

It is related from Jabir ibn Samura that: The mark of the Prophet (saas) was round like a pigeon’s egg. (Tirmidhi, 6/126)

It is related from that Ebu b Yezid that: “My eyes beheld the mark between the Prophet’s (saas) shoulders.” (Tirmidhi, 6/126)

He Has Black Hair

The light of his face rises to his head and the blackness of his hair. (Mahdism and Imamiya, p. 153 / Ikdud Durar)

“He is a young man of medium stature. He has a beautiful face. His hair hangs over his shoulders. The light of his face gives him grandeur. He has black hair. He has a black beard.” (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s, Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar)

“He ( Hazrat Mahdi (as)) is a young man of medium stature and a beautiful face. His hair hangs over his shoulder. The light of his face shines like day day over the blackness his hair, beard and head, and gives him grandeur.” (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib)

His General Appearance

As can be seen from the hadiths below, Hazrat Mahdi (as) has an impressive, well-built and striking appearance:

The stature of the Hazrat Mahdi (as) is like that of the people of Israel. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 36-29)

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is like one of the people of Israel. (His comportment is like theirs, majestic and fearless.) (Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 23-30)

He is a majestic person … with a broad brow. (Ikdud Durar)

Hazrat Mahdi (as) has a body like an Israelite. It is as if Hazrat Mahdi (as) were one of the people of Israel. (Ibn Hajar Al Makki)

His body is like an Israelite body. (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s, “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar”)

(His external appearance) resembles that of a man of the people of Israel. (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib”)

He is broad of brow. (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s, “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar”)

His stomach is large … (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s, “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar”)

There is a space between his thighs … (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s, “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar”)

He is large of body… (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib)

His Eyebrows Are Curved

“His eyebrows are rounded.” (Muhammad ibn Rasul Al-Husayni Al Barzenci, Portents of Doomsday” Pamuk Publishings, , p. 163)

His Complexion

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is Arab in colouring… (Ibn Hajar Al Makki; “Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar”, p. 15-75)

NOTE: Arabs are generally a reddish white in colouring.

Our Prophet (saas) was also reddish-white in colour. However, those parts of his body that were exposed were darker because of such factors as the Sun and wind. It appears from accounts that the colouring of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be the same as that of our Prophet (saas). In one account the complexion of the prophet is described as follows:

Anas ibn Malik said this about the Prophet’s (saas) colouring: He was white, but a darkish white.(Ibn Qasir, Shamai al-Rasul, p. 28)

He was a reddish white in colour. (Ibn Qasir, Shamail al-Rasul, p. 28)

He will be swarthy. Portents of Doomsday, p. 163; Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 43)

It is related in hadiths that in addition to having a large head, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be broad and impressive:

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my line. His brow is broad and wide. (Imam Sharani “Death, the Hereafter and Portents of the End Times”, Bedir Publishing, p. 432-448)

As can be seen from the hadith, Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) brow is quite large, for which reason he has a large head.

His Age

The ages stated in hadiths are those at which Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be sent, at which he starts work, and at which people will recognise him and witness his activities.

He will be sent when he is between 30 and 40 years old… Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children. He is around 40.

(Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 41)

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my line. He is 40 years old. His face is like a bright star … (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s, “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar”)

“He is a young man.” (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s, “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar”)

His Nose

His brow will be wide, and his nose fine. (Tirmidhi / Great Ahadith Collection, Rudani Vol. 5, p. 365)

His brow is broad and his nose bright. (The Person The Century Has been Waiting for: Hazrat Mahdi (as), Adil Gokbayrak, p. 28)

“…He has a small nose…” (Muhammad ibn Rasul Al-Husayni Al Barzanji, Portents of Doomsday” Pamuk Publishings, Trans. Naim Erdogan, p. 163)

His Beard

His beard will be thick and plentiful. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 23)

His beard is thick. (Portents of Doomsday, Barzanji, p. 163)

“He is a young man. Of medium stature. He has a beautiful face. His hair hangs over his shoulders. The light of his face gives him grandeur. He has a black beard.
(Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s, “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar)

“He (the Hazrat Mahdi (as)) is a young man of medium stature and a beautiful face. His hair falls to his shoulders. The light of his face, shines like day on the blackness of his hair, his beard and his head and gives him greatness.” (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib)

“Hazrat Mahdi (as) has a thick beard…”
(Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s, “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar)

His Stature

Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be of medium stature. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 41)

We learn from accounts that our Prophet (saas) was also of medium height, as we do from hadiths regarding the stature of the Hazrat Mahdi (as):

It is related from Anas ibn Malik that: The Prophet (saas) was of medium stature. The word “Rab” used in the hadith means normal and of average stature. Yet there is a limit to normal height in comparison to a tall person. Because normal height is that between someone of that height and seven spans. (Tirmidhi, Shamail al-Sharif, p. 15)

HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

When we look at sources other than of the Sunna we see that they contain similar information regarding the Hazrat Mahdi (as).

For example, it is reported that false Hazrat Mahdis (as) will emerge before the genuine Hazrat Mahdi (as) and that these will enjoy no prestige, that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will remain silent in the face of this; that in the period known as the End Times there will be terrible degeneration in people’s moral values; that some people will be auspicious and others not, and that some will be destroyed; that there will be moral degeneration before he appears; that there will be atheist rulers and perverted scholars, and people’s earnings will decline; that the Sufyan will appear, an army will be buried, a voice will be heard, someone from the Beni Abbas will be destroyed, and the Bayda will collapse as portents of his coming; that these portents will take place one after the other; that there will be a long period when Hazrat Mahdi (as) disappears and some people will lose their faith; that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear after all people hear a voice from the skies; that after Hazrat Mahdi (as) is declared to have come people will submit to his caliphate; that he will rule like the prophets Sulayman and Dawud; that he will cause Islamic moral values to prevail and restore life to Islam; that he will fill the world, now full of oppression and injustice, with justice and equality; that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will follow in the path of our Prophet (saas) and in the same way that the Prophet (saas) brought in religious moral values, the Hazrat Mahdi (as) will eliminate false beliefs and practices and restore the religion to its original form; that Muslims living in the time of our Prophet (saas) will wish to live in that of the Hazrat Mahdi (as), and that a few more than 300 people will follow the Hazrat Mahdi (as); that his helpmates will number 313; that he will appear with sacred relics; that he will possess such moral values that he fears no condemnation; that he will not make his needs clear, but that people will stand in need of him; that he will be moderate and wise; that he will be descended from the House of Muhammad; that he will be impressive and dignified; that he will have a beautiful face and hair; and that he will have a thin nose and wide face.

In other accounts it is reported that

“there is a mark on the Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) brow.” It is also stated that





“there is a mole on his right leg.”

CONCLUSION

Throughout this article we have been examining, in the light of the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) certain characteristics that will enable Hazrat Mahdi (as) to be recognised when he appears in the End Times. Much identificatory information is provided in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) regarding both his moral and physical attributes. He has said that the moral values of Hazrat Mahdi (as) resemble his own, and praised his fear of Allah and moral values. Our Prophet (saas) has also stated that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be a means whereby people attain salvation in this world and in the Hereafter, and told people to “join him, even by crawling over snow:”

Ibni Abi Shayba and Naim ibn Hammad drew from Ibn Majah in the work Fitan, and Abu Naim drew from Ibn Mas’ud. He said that: “He (Hazrat Mahdi (as)) will rule the world and fill it, which was filled with opression and cruelty before him, with justice. Whoever of you lives to see him, let him crawl over snow to him and join him. Because he is the Hazrat Mahdi (as).” (Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, Jalaladdin Suyuti, p. 14)

The period we are living in is when this historic event, awaited for 1400 years and revealed by our Prophet (saas), has approached. All Muslims aware of this fact must read the contents of this article, the information provided in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas), with great care and seize every opportunity to be able to recognise this holy individual. Because research into and investigation of these facts will, by the will of Allah, be a means whereby this holy individual can be properly known.

There is no doubt that Muslims have an important responsibility to prepare the way for and assist such a holy personage who will be a means whereby Islam returns to its original form and the moral values of the Qur’an prevail over all the world, and who will establish unity among Muslims. It is a great blessing and honour for all believers to be able to be close to such a holy individual as Hazrat Mahdi (as), to support him and assist him in his work which will benefit all mankind.
