There exists a lot false beliefs surrounding the Mahdi, particular amongst the raafidhah shi’a who hold many absurd beliefs concerning him.

According to Al-‘Allaamah Ash-Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah) ,
“From their superstitions and stories is that they have a Mahdi from the Prophet’s (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) family whom they await and that he has been in a cave for more than 1200 years who they claim is the 12thImaam. This Imaam does not exist; this Mahdi has not even been created. The Mahdi that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) mentioned is true, however, he is not the one that the Rawafidh (Shia) claim is the Mahdi. From their stories is that Musa Ibn Jafar (d. 183AH) - who the Rawafidh claim is one of their Imaams – said to a person during his time, ‘If you live then you will meet him.’ Since then, 1249 years have passed and they still have not met him. This is proof that this was a slander and a lie against Musa.” [“A Warning Against the Spread of the Deen of the Rawafidh (Shia)in Algeria and Other Muslim Lands” from AbdurRahman.org]

On the authority of ‘Ali (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu), the Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “The Mahdi is from us – the family of the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)Allaah will rectify him in a single night.”[Ahmad]

‘Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) related that the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Even if there remains from this world only a single day…Allaah would prolong that day until a man from me or from my descendants is sent; his name is the same as my name, and his father’s name is the same as my father’s name.” [Abu Dawood] And this is an addition from the hadeeth of Qatr : “He will fill the earth with fairness and justice just as it was filled with wrongdoing and oppression.”

These are but two of the many ahadeeth which discuss the affairs of the Mahdi.

Our Shaykh Ahmad Shamlaan (hafidhahullaah) will convey to us the belief of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah concerning the Mahdi and by the Permission of Allaah expel any false beliefs or doubts one might have regarding this issue.

We ask Allaah to correct our creed and that He, Al-‘Aleem grants us beneficial knowledge that would be a proof for us and not against us on the Day of Judgement.
