BIRTH OF IMAM MAHDI (A.S.) IN AHLE SUNNA

Posted by | Jun 3, 2013 | , , , |

BIRTH OF IMAM MAHDI (A.S.) IN AHLE SUNNA A number of traditions have been narrated from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) of Islam and the truthful Imams of Ahle-bayt (a.s.), regarding the uprising of Qaem-al-Mahdi towards the end of this world and his overthrowing the unjust and tyrant rulers and filling the earth with justice and fair play. Hence the unjust Abbasi caliphs were very much afraid of the uprising of Qaem al Mahdi, They utilized their entire resources to finish him. Ten years before the birth of Hazrat Mahdi (ATFS), the then caliph called his grandfather Imam Ali Naqi (a.s.) from Medina to capital Samarrah so that a close watch can be made on his family. In the time of Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.), the spies of the government in the forms of doctors midwives and hawkers kept a close watch that if Mahdi-e-Mawood is born he may be immediately killed. Under these circumstances it was clear that the birth of Imam al Mahdi will be a concealed one like the birth of Hazrat Ibraheem (a.s.) and Hazrat Moosa (a.s.). The concealed birth of Imam al Mahdi (a.s.) was taken by some people that he is not born rather he will be born later. We would like to produce certain arguments as evidences to show that Imam al Mahdi (a.s.) is already born. 1-A lots of traditions have been...

Posted by | Jun 3, 2013 | , , , |

Mahdi and his parents’ Name What seems evident from the previous traditions (mentioned in chapter no. 4) is this that mahdi, the awaited one is the son of abu muhammad imam hassan askari (a.s.). The shia imamiyahs and majority of the sunni scholars unanimously believe that his honourable father’s name is hassan.(90) verily, it is in some of the rare and uncommon traditions that the name of hazrat mahdi’s father is mentioned to be the same as the holy prophet’s father. Abu dawoud in his ‘sahih’ (vol 4 pg. 78) has narrated from zurra-ibn-abdullah a tradition from the holy prophet (s.a.w.a.) as such: ‘if there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, god will set the day so long until a person from my progeny shall appear and …. his name is the same as mine and his father’s name is the same as my father’s name.’ the author of eqdud-durar has narrated this tradition (in the second chapter) from a group mainly comprising of tirmidhi, abu dawoud and baihaqi. Thereafter he says: this tradition has been mentioned by imam ahmad hanbal in his ‘musnad’. however he has not mentioned the afore-said sentence of the holy prophet that his father’s name is the same as my father’s name. The author says: i have come across some portions of traditions wherein the holy prophet (s.a.w.a.)...
