Do all Muslims await the coming of the Mahdi, or only Shi'a Muslims?

Answer 1

NO sunnis too : ) The emergence of Al-Mahdi is a fact that should not be denied; he will be born before the end of this life and will grow up to fill the earth with justice as it has been filled with oppression.

Muslims who are of Ahl-us Sunnah believe that a man of the Prophet’s clan will be born before the end of this world and lead an ordinary life as any other one; he may commit mistakes and will need to be reformed like any other one. Then Allah will choose him to reunite the Muslims and guide them to the right path.

This is all what should be believed about Al-Mahdi. There is no religious text to the effect that it is a religious duty to wait anxiously for him. Moreover, Muslims should not believe anyone claiming that he is Al-Mahdi unless there is clear evidence to that effect, as many people have claimed to be so.

Answer 2

The Mahdi (Arabic: مهدي‎ ​ transliterated: Mihdī, also Mehdi; "Guided One"), in Islamic eschatology, is the prophesied redeemer of Islam, who will change the world into a perfect Islamic society before Yaum al-Qiyamah (literally "Day of the Resurrection").

The exact nature of the Mahdi differs according to Sunni and Shi'a Muslims. For a more in-depth Shi'a account of the Mahdi, see Muhammad al-Mahdi.

Answer 3

Shias and Sunnis both have different versions of Mahdi. Majority of muslims belong to these sects. The truth there is no Mahdi. I am muslim so don't jump on me as Islam hater. As a muslim I oppose all the sects.

Answer 4

I`m a Sunni and yes all Muslims await Mahdi & we also await Jesus return to fight the anti-christ & to spread peace on earth & to unite all people into one belief



P.S. your avatar changed & you seem to have put on the viel...I know it`s not my business but did you become a Muslim????

Answer 5

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric kettle drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the sherif
Had cleared the square
They began to wail
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah

Answer 6

from a christian view-point the "mahdi" is the anti-christ (no offense) he will have evil supernatural powers and persecute Jesus church>
