Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a Descendant of the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh)

His light, even though the un be liev ers de test it. It is He Who sent
His Messenger with gui dance and the re li gion of Truth to ex alt it
over ev ery oth er re li gion, even though the associaters de test it.
(Surat at-Tawba, 32-33)

This promise of Allah's will very definitely be made good within the
destiny appointed by Him. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will fulfill all the ser-
vices promised by our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) and will, by the will of Allah, impose the moral values of the
Qur'an across the world. An age which, because of its abundance and
plenty, the comforts of all kinds it will bestow on mankind and its gener-
al atmosphere of peace, will be one that all Muslims will wish to live to
see, is a most sublime blessing for the faithful in the life of this world.
Our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) has re-
vealed the glad tidings of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in the
words "Hear the glad tidings of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). He is one of the Qureysh

and is of my line." (Al-Burhan fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 13.),
and he has re vealed how be liev ers must fol low this wor thy per son age
sent by Allah:
... He (Hazrat Mahdi [pbuh]) will possess land and will fill the earth, which
before him was full of oppression and cruelty, with justice. Whoever lives to
see him after you, let him join him even if he has to crawl over the snow. Let
him join him, because he is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). (Hadiths from Jalaluddin al-
Suyuti's Classification: Signs of the Mahdi of the End Times p. 14.)
