Fake Mahdies

 

The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH & HP) has said:

 

The Mahdi of this nation shall be from us, the one whom Jesus son of Maryam shall stand behind and Pray.

 

Then the Prophet placed his hand on Imam Hossain's shoulder and continued:

 

The Mahdi of this Nation shall be from him.

 

(Shi'ah documents: Behar-Ol-Anwaar, ...)

(Sunni documents: Yanabi-Ol-Mawaddah, Qondoozi; al-Bayan, Ganji Shaafe'i; Fosool al-Mohemmah, Ebne Sabagh Maleki; Arjah-Ol-Mataaleb, Hendi Hanafi; ...)

 

Many Verses in Qur'an give the good news about sovereignty of God's religion all over the world; the Shi'ah narratives are full of glad tidings regarding Mahdi (PBUH); in spite of all distortions, lots of the Sunni narratives also talk about Mahdi. Believing in Appearance of the Savior is common among all who believe in God, and believing in Mahdi -as that chosen Saviour- is an authentic belief which no Muslim, Shi'ah or Sunni, can ever disregard.

 

Throughout history, this belief has been so strong among Muslims that they have always been anticipating the Appearance of the Savior, and as a result, they have fallen for many fake Mahdies. Next to anything authentic and priceless, their fakes are also introduced by profiteers. In other words, whenever a counterfeit of any phenomenon is introduced, one can be sure that the original and authentic of that same thing exists. A fake of a painting which never existed, is meaningless, but a counterfeit of a priceless and famous painting, is quite expected. Only the unknowing people fall for fake phenomena.

 

All through past centuries, so many fake Mahdies have emerged in different parts of the world and they still are. The existence of these fake Mahdies itself is another undeniable proof for existence of the real Mahdi. These fake Mahdies have always used people's ignorance; the knowing people never fall for fake Mahdies.

 

Let us -by researching in Qur'an, Hadith and all documents regarding the Saviour and by asking Allah for guidance- get to know the real Mahdi so that we may never fall for any fake Mahdies. Getting to know the real Mahdi means getting in touch with the purpose of our lives, with our future; getting to know the real Mahdi and Anticipating his Appearance means finding the way out of confusion and aimlessness; getting to know the real Mahdi means managing our lives and directing our goals toward the most exalted goal; getting to know the real Mahdi means falling in love with the most perfect and beautiful creation of Allah living on earth today; getting to know the real Mahdi means breathing today with the hope of tomorrow .... .
