Signs in the Qur'an of the Coming of Hazrat

Mahdi (pbuh)

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) has been described in the hadiths of the
Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) in con-
siderable detail, with his name, attributes, helpers, the features of his time
and his activities. So clear and detailed are our Prophet's (may Allah bless
him and grant him peace) descriptions of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) that any-
one seeing him in person will immediately be able to recognize him.
It is related in a Qur'anic verse that the People of the Book will rec-
ognize our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) "as they
recognize their own sons":
Those We have giv en the Book recog nize him as they recog nize

(Surat al-Baqara, 146)
Metaphorically, this verse also refers to the recognition of Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh). When he appears, people will recognize him, in the light
of our Prophet's (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) descriptions,
as they do their own sons. And Allah knows the truth.
One of the verses in the Qur'an pointing to the coming of Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh) refers to "a messenger who will appear after the Prophet
Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)."
Through this verse, Allah tells us that He has made a cov e nant with
the Prophets that they would be lieve in and help a mes sen ger who will
come aft er them:
