mahdi

mahdi

Mahdi (Latin Mahdi) is a Chinese transliteration of Arabic, which means "those who are guided by Allah" or "those who are guided by Allah". Hadith, one of the Islamic classics, predicted that Mahdi was a religious leader and a Muslim leader before the end of the world.

General situation

It is said that in the seven years since Mahdi came to the world, he will govern the troubled times according to the Islamic holy sharia, uphold justice, eradicate tyranny and social evil, rectify the internal differences of Islam, revive the Islamic faith, and create a new era of Islam. It is said that he is a descendant of Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad. Therefore, the Shia's view of Mahdi is different from that of Sunnis. The Shia believe that the 12th Imam is the Mahdi who will be born again.

The earth is full of justice, just as it is full of loss. " The prophet also said: this life does not end until one of my descendants is in charge of Arabia, and his name matches my name. (the Hadith of Abu Dawood) the Hadith also quotes the legend of Abu seld: the Prophet Muhammad said that Mahdi, the Savior, came from my patriarchal clan. His forehead was wide and his nose was high. During his reign, the world was full of justice, just as it was full of injustice before. He ruled the world for seven years. (Abbe Dawood hadith)
