leads Muslims in preaching the true religion, invites them to the true path and
According to the law of God, there has always been a 'spiritual leader', who
struggles to spread Islamic moral values around the world. Therefore, in the End
Times, the person who is going to direct people toward the morality of the Qur'an
and to the right path and gather them under a single roof is 'Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), by God's will, is going to intellectually neutralize the antichrist,
who leads every kind of irreligious ideology and belief system, dragging people to

denial and detracting them from religious ethics. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will spread
the tenets of Islam throughout the world.
One of the most important characteristics of the system of the Mahdi is
that it is an anti-hypocrite movement. In other words, the system of the Mahdi
is not only a movement opposing the antichrist, but also opposing hypocrites,
who represent antichrist. God created the Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) with a special spir-
itual power. Identifying and neutralizing hypocrites requires the ability of a
Mahdi. In other words, the system of the Mahdi is a "hypocrite hunting" system.
God sent Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) to the Islamic world with the skills of 'a savior' and

granted him 'this special talent'.
A hadith of our Prophet (pbuh) reads: "In the time of Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh)
leadership, the reign of tyrants and oppressors and the dominion of hypocrites
and traitors will come to an end." (Al-Mahdi al-Maw'ud, vol. 1, p. 252).It draws
attention to God's grace on Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). With the occasion of the Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh), antichrists, unbelievers, hypocrites, deep states, terrorists, tyrants,

traitors and arrogant people will lose their influence and dominance over soci-

ety.

The prominent Islamic scholar Bediuzzaman Said Nursi said that the hypocrite

movement would end with the Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in the world. He said: "Behind

a screen of duplicity, a fearsome individual named the Sufyan will deny the mes-

sengership of Muhammad (pbuh), and coming to lead the dissemblers, will try to

destroy the Islamic Shari'a. To oppose him, a luminous individual called Muham-

mad Mahdi of the Family of the Prophet (pbuh) will assume leadership of the

people of sainthood and perfection, who are bound to the luminous line of the

Prophet's (pbuh) family, and he will kill the current of dissemblers, which will

consist of the collective personality of the Sufyan, and scatter it." (Letters - 15th

Letter, p. 56-57). In the End Times, hypocrites will be ideologically rendered in-

effective by the occasion of the Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Maybe deep down they

will not give up hypocrisy and will not believe sincerely, but they will stop taking

hypocritical actions.
