Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a Descendant of the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh)
though the un be liev ers de test it. It is He Who sent His Messenger
with gui dance and the Religion 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)
As revealed in the Qur'an, the rule of Islamic moral values is a
promise of Allah's, one which our Lord will indubitably keep. The moral
values to reign over the world will be those of the true faith in the eyes of
our Lord. That faith is the pure faith of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), and
the fact that these moral values are those of Islam is revealed in these
terms in the Qur'an:
The re li gion with Allah is Islam... (Surah Al 'Imran, 19)
In the Qur'an, it is also revealed that communities of the faithful will
most certainly have a leader at their head. In the End Times, the period
through which we are living, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will lead the faithful,
as is revealed in mutawatir (authentic) hadiths of our Prophet (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace).
Several hadiths reveal that the name of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be
compatible with that of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace). Some of these hadiths read as follows:
O People, cer tain it is that Almighty Allah has for bid den you the op press -
ors, the hyp o crites, and those who fol low them, and has made Hazrat Mah-
di (pbuh), the most aus pi cious of the com mu ni ty of Muhammad, he who is
in Mecca, whose name is Ahmad, son of Abdullah, your lead er. Join him.
(Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar Fi al a mat Al-Mahdi Al-Muntazar, p. 31.)
A voice will be heard from the sky: "O People, Allah has now removed the
despots, the hypocrites and their helpers from you. He has placed the most
auspicious of the Community of Muhammad at your head. Join him in Mec-
ca. He is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). His name is Ahmad bin Abdullah. Anoth-
er account states: "He has appointed Jabir, the most auspicious of the Com-
munity of Muhammad, over you. Join him in Mecca, for he is Hazrat Mah-
di (pbuh). His name is Muhammad bin Abdullah!" (Alamat al-Qiyama,
Madina Allama Muhammad bin Rasul al-Hussain al-Barzanji, Pamuk
Publishing, 8th edi tion, p. 165.)
