Global Hope

All humans around the world love and anticipate peace, justice, tranquility, security and any other beautiful quality that one may imagine.
Zoroastrians, Jews, Christians and Muslims share this magnificent Anticipation.

The Promised Savior -Mahdi- (PBUH) among other nations:

In the Bible, he is known as the “Son of Man”. The New Testament, Book of
Matthew, chapter 24, statements 37-39 state:

”For, the coming of the Son of Man, will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they
were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the Ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.”

And also in the Revelations to John 6:2 regarding the Last Days, John claimed that he saw:

”...and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him; and he went out conquering, and to conquer.”

The Old Testament, in its description about the time of his appearance says:

”And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the kid,...They will not hurt or destroy in all My
holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the
Lord as the waters cover the sea.”

(Old Testament, Book of Isaiah, chapter 11, statements 6-9)

In the Book of Psalms (Zaboor) of the antiquated (ancient times) Mazaamir,
in the Mazmoor 37, statements 9-12 and 17-18 state:

”evils will be destroyed but the waiters of God will inherit the earth.”

The Sunnite believes in the Appearance at the end of the world of a peace maker of the name of Mahdi.

Haafiz Abu Abdullah Mohammad bin Yazid Al Qazvini narrates in his
'Sunane-Ebn-Maajah' that Ali son of Abi-Taaleb narrated from the Holy
Prophet (PBUH&HP) that :

"The Mahdi is from us Ahl-Ol-Bait; Allah shall organize his affairs within one night."

(Sunane-Ebne-Maajah, Ketaab-Ol-Fetan, Hadith No. 4085)

Bokhaari has quoted in his 'Taarikh':

"He will fill the earth with justice and equity as it is rife with
tyranny and oppression".

(Also, Sunane-Ebne-Daawood, Hadith No.2283 & 4282)

Sa'eed-Ebne-Mosaa'eb relates that: once we were sitting in

The company of Umme-Salmah when we mentioned about Mahdi, she replied that: I have heard the Holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) saying:

"The Mahdi is from the offspring of Fatima (The daughter of Prophet).”

Also, in Hindu sources, in the Upanishad book, it is said:

”This symbol of Vishnu (Preserver of the universe) in complete termination or Iron Age, will appear while riding a white horse... . And will destroy evils completely and revive the creation and...”

Zoroastrian sources state that the Savior Soshiant (the holy beneficent) will
propagate religion around the world, eradicate poverty and make the people around the world to think, talk and behave the same.

And the Qur'an says in Surah Al-Qasas, verse 5:

”And we desired to bestow a favor upon those who were deemed weak in the
land, and to make them the Imams, and to make them the heirs.”

He is, loving and knowing; he is beautiful and wonderful; he is the manifestation of God's grace and mercy.

In fact everyone is awaiting the same most perfect Savior, the Promised
one whom, all holy Prophets from Adam to Mohammad (PBUT) had talked about. If the teachings of the Divine Prophets (the Word of God) had not been changed and distorted throughout the ages, then today everyone would have known the Savior, clearly.

The Shi’ah, through the divinely ordained leadership and heavenly bestowed lordship of 12 infallible Imams after the Prophet Mohammad
(PBUT) have saved the Word of God.

The Promised one is Mahdi of Mohammad's progeny; he is living on earth and shall emerge, by God's command. The Qur’an promises that, with the Appearance of Mahdi, and the second coming of Jesus (PBUT), humankind
shall experience the most beautiful moments of life.

Let us all sincerely strive and pray for that magnificent day, when the rainbow of human dreams shall make the sky of human life colorful and wonderful.
