Prophet Abraham (pbuh)

Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The
kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together
against the Lord and against His anointed one [Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh)]. "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their
fetters." (Psalms, 2:1-3)

48. His helpers' main task will be to serve Allah:
And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named min-
isters of our God. (Isaiah, 61:6)

49. Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) being is predestined:

The world was created only on David's account; Samuel said: On
Moses account; Rabbi Johanan said: For the sake of the Messiah
[Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)]. (Talmud, Sanhedrin 98b)

Seven things were contemplated (by the Holy One, Blessed be He)
before creation: The Torah, repentance, the Garden of Eden and
Gehinnom, the Throne of Glory, the Holy Temple and the Messi-
ah's [Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh)] identity. (Talmud, Pesachim 51a)

Seven things were created before the world, viz., the Torah, repen-
tance, the Garden of Eden, Gehenna, the Throne of Glory, the Tem-
ple, and the name of the Messiah [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)]... The
name of the Messiah [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)], as it is written, his
name shall endure forever, and [has existed] before the Sun!
[Psalms 72:17] (Talmud, Nedarim 39b)
