2014-2019 Islam’s (Shiite) countdown to the 12th Imam Mahdi (continued, page 2)

–

Many Shia Muslims are waiting for a European to emerge as anti-Christ, who starts out peacefully, and then wages war.There is already a plan in place, which Islam admits to, where a world war will take place to convert the world to Islam. When is the 12th Imam Mahdi showing up?

–

****While various leaders and countries may have conspiracies and plots to dominate the world, this is to get people to look around at all possibilities.

**** From a few comments, This “Mahdi”  is a Shia belief, and only represents about 10% of Muslims, from what 2 readers have told me so far. The Shias are located primarily in Iran.

The Sunnis represent about 90% of the Muslim population.

*** From another comment, each group has a Mahdi figure, but its manifestation is different for each group. One is in “occultation.”

Who is the Imam Mahdi – according to Shia Muslims?

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 initally was filled with oppression.” (Abu Dawood)

His Features

Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A.) relates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, “Al Mahdi will be from my progeny. His forehead will be broad and his nose will be high. He will fill the world with justice and fairness at a time when the world will be filled with oppression. He will rule for seven years.”

Other ahadeeth inform us that:

·He will be tall
* He will be fair complexioned
* His facial features will be similar to those of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
* His character will be exactly like that of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
* His father’s name will be Abdullah
* His mother’s name will be Aamina
* He will speak with a slight stutter and occasionally this stutter will frustrate him causing him to hit his hand upon his thigh.

* His age at the time of his emergence will be forty years
* He will receive Knowledge from Allah.

Numerology predictions.

Muslims believe in numerology, or the study of number combinations.Whether this is logical to us does not matter, because it is to them. They act in accordance to what their holy numbers tell them.So it is good to be aware of what influences them.

2014 is a target date possibly for the Imam. It is called the “historical year.” See here.

The Imam Mahdi is predicted to appear during 2 eclipses – first is the eclipse of the moon on the first night of Ramadan, and second is the eclipse of the sun during the middle of that same Ramadan.
