He also became one of the topics misused by Ahl al-Sunnah to revile the Shi’ah. Some of them transgressed the limits by making of it a point of mockery and derision, as they negate, or say, believe it impossible for a human being to be alive and unseen for twelve centuries.
Some of the contemporary writers even dare to say: “The Shi’ah have fabricated and forged the idea of the occulted Imam who will verily deliver them, because of the much oppression and persecution they experienced from time immemorial to the present day. So they consoled themselves by the wish of the Awaited al-Mahdi, who will fill the earth with justice and equity and take their revenge from their enemies.”
The topic of the Promised al-Mahdi has become the town-talk in the recent years after the culmination of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, with the Muslims, especially the educated youth starting everywhere, to inquire about the truth and authenticity of al-Mahdi …. whether is he factually there and has existence in the Islamic doctrines or just one of the compositions or forgeries of the Shi’ah?
Despite the books and researches compiled and written by the Shi’ah ‘ulamā’, long ago and recently and despite the communications between many Sunnis and their brethren the Shi’ah through numerous conferences and discussions on miscellaneous doctrinal subjects, this topic remains so ambiguous to many of them, since they never used to hear the like of these episodes.
What is then the reality of the Promised al-Mahdi in the Islamic creeds?
The discussion about the topic is divided into two parts: the first relates to make a research on al-Mahdi through the Book (Qur’ān) and (Prophetic) Sunnah. The second focuses on his life (biography), occultation and reappearance.

Do we need this Moslem CRAP on Free Republic?
yes. it is not promoting islam. it is information about it. know our enemy.
I accidentally posted the wrong article. Sorry. Actually the full article does have some interesting information on what is believed but quite academic for sure.
Have a link to the correct article?
Well, those writings show just the state of that religion.
And even worse is the fact that our Obamadork-felon-cretin, and general piece of excrement, supports these relics from centuries ago.
... maintaining his residence in our White House.
The Mahdi is in a well in Iran. Ahmadennyjerk has told us that time after time and I’ve seen pictures of that Mosque and the well. Jerky has said the Mahdi is waiting for a big war and then he will come out of the well.
You infidels just don’t get it. /s :o)
The 12th Imam, or mahdi if you will, is in the Bible. He is known in the book of Revelation as the AntiChrist.
Imadamnnutjob had a mosque built over the well of the “Hidden Imam”, as he expected World War Three to break out while he was in power & the Twelfth Imam would emerge.
Believers toss notes into the well asking Allah’s favor.
Islam is full of ridiculous superstitions though the Sunnis think the Shia’s are far more superstitious & all this is over who was to succeed Profit Mohammneggs. For fourteen centuries the two have been killing each other about who should have been the first Khalif, when they’re not busy massacreing “infidels”.
Bloody savages!
And the name of the 12th Imam is Quetzalcoatl.
So which version of the death cult do the wahabis identify with?
Wahabbis, Salafis, Hanlabis, they’re all Sunnis & help make the Arab states even bigger s***holes than they already are.
Shia’s are the ones who mourn the death of Ali the `rightful successor’ to Mohammed every year in Karbalah Iraq by slashing themselves & their sons with swords, machetes, etc until there is blood everywhere.
And they’re all muzzies, every single bloody savage of them. And they want all “infidels” dead. That’s you & me, FRiend.
