The Hereafter

Will the expected Mahdi resemble the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? What about the voices that have emerged in recent times and claim that he is here and has been born, i.e., he exists at present?.

In the present distressed situation many people including scholars are found to talk about the Renaissance of Islam and the emergence of Imam Mehdi. I want to ask about two things: first, who is or may be Imam Mehdi and is there any evidence about his possible emergence, in the light of Quran and Hadith. Secondly what will be the order of occurence of events before the Qiyamat, including emergence of Imam Mehdi, Fitna-e-Dajjal, Yajooj Majooj and Hazrat Issa (Jesus). Kindly reply in detail.

Some people take the ahaadeeth about the Mahdi and the descent of ‘Eesa (peace be upon him) as a reason to stop striving for Islam, so they sit and wait for the emergence of the Mahdi or the descent of ‘Eesa, so that Islam and the Muslims will rise once again. What is your opinion of this understanding?.

What is the difference between the Mahdi and the Messias?

Is it told in the Quran when the Mahdi will come to save the muslims?.

I have read many signs concerning the appearance of the Mahdi, Dajjal, Prophet Isa. Signs that the Holy Prophet predicted. These signs have amazed me because they have almost all come true, or are happening at this moment. Signs such as time will pass quickly, drinking wine will increase, fornication will increase, singing will be common.. and so many more. My question is, is that do you think that the coming of any of the three people named above is close and may it occur in our lifetime? Thankyou.

Is the hadith about the coming of Mehdi Saheeh? Because I was told by a friend of mine, that it’s not and it’s a weak hadith.

This is a questioned answered by the Permanent Committee regarding,What are the lesser and greater signs of the Day of Resurrection?.

A refutation against those who deny the appearance of Mahdi, the coming of Dajjaal, and the descent of the Messiah at the end of time.
