The Characteristics of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)
in Judaic Scriptures

The Messiah (Hazrat Mahdi [pbuh]) whose coming is awaited in the
Judaic tradition—will be a spiritual leader who will establish world pea-
ce. Besides being a guide to nations, he will be a just and honest judge
who always makes the most accurate decisions. He will have exemplary
moral values and be a model for the entire humanity, simply because of
his fear and love of Allah. Since Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will fill the world
with justice, neutralize all corrupt societies and be a guide for all nations
to follow, Jews refer to him using the title "Yahev" or "Shahev" (The one
who restores the people, returns the people to God).
In addition, Judaic tradition says that Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) perso-
nality and beauty of soul will influence others, and that he will turn pe-
ople in the direction of faith with very wise words. However, this servant
whom Allah chooses and supports will very definitely not be any super-
human entity. He will be an individual born normally to ordinary pa-
rents, but whom Allah supports in every way physically and spiritually
and bestows glory upon. Some of the characteristics ascribed to Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh) according to Jewish references are:

1. He will be just:

With righteousness he [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] will judge the
needy... (Isaiah, 11:4)
