All Abrahamic faiths hold the belief that a saviour will appear before the Day of Judgment to reverse the injustices and inequities of the world. Jews believe in the coming of a moshiach, or “Messiah”, from the lineage of King David. Christians believe in the second coming of Jesus.

For Muslims, the awaited saviour is none other than Imam Mahdi.

Biography

The Birth of Imam Mahdi

Imam Mahdi was born in 868 CE, or 15th Shaban 255 AH in the Islamic calendar. His birth name was Abu al-Qasim Muhammad, which mirrored that of Prophet Muhammad (S). He was given the title of al-Mahdi, or ‘the rightly guided’. Other titles include al-Qa’im, or ‘he who will rise’, and Sahib al-Zaman, or ‘lord of the age’.

He is also known as the Twelfth Imam, the Prophet having foretold of twelve apostolic Imams from his lineage succeeding him.

Imam Mahdi is the son of Imam Hasan al-Askari, the eleventh Imam, and Lady Narjis Khatoon, whom traditions say hailed either from Nubia or from Rome. The Imam was born in the town of Samarra, which is in modern-day Iraq. The Abbasid rulers of the Muslim caliphate used Samarra as a garrison town.

The Imam’s Concealment

Shortly after his birth, and by divine decree, Imam Mahdi entered into a state of concealment, also known as ‘ghayba’. This was primarily to protect him from the oppressive rulers who would otherwise threaten his life, as they had killed the Imams who preceded him. For the first 70 years after his birth, during a period known as the ‘lesser ghayba’, Imam Mahdi answered religious questions and petitions through a series of four representatives who were well-known and widely respected in the community, and with whom he maintained contact”.
