Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a Descendant of the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh)
Therefore, the People of Israel, the People of Isaac and the People of
Ishmael referred to in the Torah are all from the line of the Prophet Abra-
ham (pbuh). All are descended from the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), one
blessed by Allah. The holy personage who bears the title of "he who be-
stows the path of salvation" in the Abrahamic religions–and who will ap-
pear in the End Times as a means whereby the moral values of true belief
come to rule the world–is also descended from the Prophet Abraham
(pbuh). This means that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) himself is descended from
the Prophet Abraham (pbuh).
Allah Promises Dominion to the Line of
the Prophet Abraham (pbuh)
Allah protected the two branches of the descendants of the Prophet
Abraham (pbuh) in order for them to establish their dominion. In the End
Times, He will unite the Imam al-Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus
(pbuh) in order for that promise to be fulfilled. This period of dominion,
revealed in the Qur'an and in the hadiths of our Prophet (may Allah bless
him and grant him peace), is also promised in the Torah to a community
descended from the line of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh):

gate; all the na tions of the world shall be bless ed through your de scend -
ants—all be cause you obeyed My voice. (Genesis, 22:17-18)
God said to Abraham:... I will make you in to a great na tion. I will bless you
and make you great; you shall be come a bless ing. I will bless those who bless
you, and he who curs es you, I will curse. All the fam i lies of the Earth will
be bless ed through you. (Genesis, 12:1-3)
I will make your de scend ants as nu mer ous as the stars of the sky, and grant
them all these lands. All the na tions on Earth shall be bless ed through your
de scend ants. (Genesis, 26:4)
Your de scend ants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out
