I think it’s the twelfth Imam thats supposed to be either the last or some sort of reincarnation of Mohammad. It might be their equivalent of the Messiah. They are described in pretty much the same way, bringing about change, peace, inspiring the masses yadda yadda....
I thought only the Shit`te’s believed in the twelve imam? Islam and it’s branches is so crazy that I can’t keep up with it and I lived there and played in the streets with Arabs.
