claim the Mahdi is their 12th Imam, as evidenced in a hadith from the Shia text (Kitab Al-Kafi) containing a conversation between the first Shia Imam Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib and a man named al-Asbagh ibn Nubata.[1][2]
In a hadith widely regarded as authentic, Muhammad said,[citation needed]
Even if the entire duration of the world's existence has already been exhausted and only one day is left before the Day of Judgment, God will expand that day to such a length of time, as to accommodate the kingdom of a person out of Ahl al-Bayt who will be called by my name. He will then fill the Earth with peace and justice as it will have been filled with injustice and tyranny before then.
—Sahih Tirmidhi, V2, P86, V9, P74--75.
The Mahdi, according to Shi'ite tradition, will arise at some point before the day of judgement, institute a kingdom of justice, and will in the last days fight alongside the returned Jesus against the Dajjal, the Antichrist.
However, like most religious concepts, various Muslim traditions have ascribed different characteristics to the Mahdi. Also, as Mahdiism is closely related to the leadership of the Ummah, it has had the potential to be abused as some leaders of secularly focused politico-religious movements in the name of Islam who have claimed to be the Mahdi.
Of those Sunnis that hold to the existence of the Mahdi, some believe the Mahdi will be an ordinary man, born to an ordinary woman. Umm Salamah said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) say: 'The Mahdi is of my lineage and family...'
— Sunan Abu Dawud, 11/373; Sunan Ibn Maajah, 2/1368.
Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri said:
The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) said: "He is one of us..."
— Reported by Abi Na'eem in Akhbaar al-Mahdi, see al-Jaami' al-Sagheer, 5/219, hadith 5796.
The Shi'a belief is that Mahdi has been alive and in occultation for 1200 years and is eleven generations down from Muhammad - i.e. the twelfth Shi'a Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi.
The coming of the Mahdi is a disputed notion within Sunnis, with the claim being denied by the Ahle Quran and Darul-uloom Nadwatul Ulama clerics.[citation needed] Mahdi is not mentioned in the Qu'ran and there are few authentic hadiths that mention him in any detail.
Although the concept of a "Mahdi" is not reported in Sahih al-Bukhari nor Muslim, it is found in Sunan Abi Dawud, Ibn Majah and Tirmidhi and agreed upon by Sunni scholars as sound and trustworthy (saheeh and thiqat sanad).[citation needed]
Al-Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ja'far al-Katani said: "The conclusion is that the hadiths narrated concerning the Mahdi are mutawatir, as are the hadith concerning the Dajjal and the descent of Jesus the son of Mary, upon whom be peace."[citation needed] Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Hajar al-Haytami in his fatwa titled The Brief Discourse on the Portents of the Awaited Mahdi, said that denial of the Mahdi is disbelief.[citation needed] Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti in his book The Rose Fragrance Concerning the Reports on al-Mahdi, wrote, "This is the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah, this is the belief of the Sufis, this is the belief of our Shaykhs, and this is the belief of the true Shadhili Shaykhs, whose path both al-Suyuti and al-Haytami followed. Whoever differs with them is a liar and an innovator."[citation needed]
The Naqshbandi Haqqani Sufi Order, under the leadership of Shaikh Hisham Kabbani of Islamic Supreme Council of America (ISCA), is among the Sufis who strongly believes the coming of Imam Mahdi in this 21st Century is imminent. Shaikh Hisham has written a book "The Approach of Armageddon" that touches much on this subject.
