The journey of prophets and the course of history culminated in the Arabian Peninsula, in the hot desert of Hejaz, where the last prophet of God was born. This prophet, whose name had been mentioned in many divine books, was recognized as the Seal of the Prophets by the leaders and scholars of divine religions. After the Prophet of Islam, divine revelation and prophethood ended, and the era of guardianship and Imamate began. This event stands as one of the greatest historical ones, heralding the coming of the future promised by all religions.
The Imam and Savior promised in divine religions is from the lineage of the Prophet of Islam, descended from his progeny. To understand Imam Mahdi (AJ), the first step is to become familiar with the early history of Islam, the events and incidents of that time, and to know the noble Prophet Muhammad and his Household (PBUT).
The course of Islamic history, the event of Ghadir, the subsequent incidents, the peace treaty of Imam Hassan (PBUH), the tragedy of Karbala, the network of deputyship, and the network of delegation of the infallible Imams are all pivotal and decisive events that the history of Islam has faced up to the occultation of the last divine reserve. Having a proper knowledge and understanding about these events can offer a clear and unambiguous vision to those who truly wait for the world’s promised future. Additionally, it can serve as a guide and roadmap for us today. Recognizing the trials, tests, and tribulations along the path can make us more hopeful about treading this path successfully.
Where was Imam Mahdi (AJ) born, and how old is he?
Why is Imam Mahdi (AJ) in occultation, and what is the history of this event?
Why does Imam Mahdi (AJ) not come, and why is our world increasingly ready to accept the Savior?
These are common questions and ambiguities about the history of Imam Mahdi’s life. We will provide an overview of the time and reason for his occultation, alongside the philosophy behind this occultation. Answering these questions requires a comprehensive look at the history of Shi’ism and its events. The time of Imam Mahdi’s birth, the events preceding his birth, and the social conditions of that era all play a role in answering these questions. Without considering these factors, a comprehensive answer cannot be given.
On this website, we discuss Imam Mahdi (AJ) and the common future of the world from the perspective of the Quran and the scriptures of other religions. The concepts and content produced on this website are compiled from reliable historical books, authoritative sources in divine religions, and specialized Shia reference books.
