who is Al-Mahdi in Islam? when is he suppose to come and who is he?

Answer 1

His name will be Muhammad.He is the descendant of the Prophet (pbuh) from his daughter Fathima.The term "MAHDI" is a title meaning "The Guided one".
Hadhrat Ali (R.A.) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "Even if only a day remains for Qiyamah to come, yet Allah will surely send a man from my family who will fill this world with such justice and fairness, just as it initially was filled with oppression." (Abu Dawood)

He will come before Jesus (pbuh) makes his appearance.
And Allah knows best!

Answer 2

As believers of the traditions, we believe in a saviour who will come first, before Jesus Christ. We have in our traditions his name, which is Muhammad d'ul Mahdi."

"He is coming, but his arrival will be after a great war. It will be the fight of the big powers with each other.

And in that war the saviour will come like a divine hand from heavens to the earth and stop the war."

" After a short time a tyrant will appear, well-known through traditions as the Anti-Christ. When Jesus Christ was on earth he never touched a sword, but now he is coming as a saviour. In his time all technology will be finished."

"His sword can reach any point to where He sends it. It is a miraculous sword, a heavenly sword. His Lord gave it to Him. He will save the people from the hands of the Anti-Christ."

"We are getting closer to al-Qiyamah, the Day of Resurrection. There will be a day when the people are going to be in the Divine Presence of Allah Almighty. He has informed us of these very signs passing before our eyes and fast approaching.


"For all the people he will appear in the Great War. The Great War will break out between East and West. These will be very difficult days for mankind. There will be very strong fighting. Very many people will be killed."

"Then the Lord will command al-Mahdi Alaihi as-Salam to appear. Now he is in a cave, in a big, deep cave. No one can approach it. Jinns (genies) are protecting and guarding him."

"Mahdi Alaihi as-Salam and his ninety-nine Caliphs are there (in the Empty Quarter of Arabia). They are waiting and expecting the Holy command of Allah Almighty to appear. And his appearance should be soon, Inshallah."

"When he comes, he will say, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) and this will be heard from East to West without a doubt."

The term "MAHDI" is a title meaning "The Guided one". Mahdi is a normal man who is going to follow the true Islam. His name will be Muhammad and his father name will be 'Abdullah. He is a descendant from Ali and Fatima (daughter of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) so he will be descendant from al-Hasan or al-Husain. Mahdi will be very just and his capital will be Damascus. Allah told us that Jews will master the world two times (we live now 1998 during the first one) and Mahdi will appear between those two periods and will rule through the last one. Mahdi is NOT a prophet but he is the final Rightly Guided Khalifa. Mahdi will lead Muslims to a great victory against the Christian Romans (i.e. All the white Europeans including the Americans). This great war is called al-Malhamah al-Kubrah or Armageddon. It will end up with a great victory to Muslims against Romans after six years. Muslims will take over their capital Rome (this can be any city). In the seventh year, the Anticrist will apear and a greater war will start between Jews and Muslims for 40 days (longer that usual days) and will end when Jesus (pbuh) will come and Muslims will kill all Jews. All people will convert into Islam. Peace will pervade the whole world.

Answer 3

◆ Who is Imam al-Mahdi:

"Mahdi" literally means "the guided one". There are many saheeh hadiths that indicate that the Mahdi (peace be upon him) will appear at the end of time. He is one of the signs of the Hour.

Our prophet Muhammad said, ""At the end of the time of my ummah, the Mahdi will appear. Allaah will grant him rain, the earth will bring forth its fruits, he will give a lot of money, cattle will increase and the ummah will become great. He will rule for seven or eight years."

◆ When is he supposed to emerge:

It is believed that the Mahdi will arise at some point before the Day of Judgment, institute a kingdom of justice. It is also believed that he will in the last days fight alongside the returned Jesus against Dajjal (Antichrist).
