The Martyr Sayyid Muḥammad Ṣadr wrote in his valuable book:
“Dajjāl is a specified culture, civilization and ideology which is the enemy of Islam.”
He believed Western materialistic culture and civilization, is the very Dajjāl in narrations.
And he introduced Dajjāl, as a symbol and allusion of anti- material and anti-Islamic movements.
Have you known, Mahdī (mgehr)is the most famous title for Imam Zaman (mgehr)?
[And], have you known the word Mahdavīat is more famous amongst the Sunnis?
In narrations the title Mahdī (mgehr) has mostly referred after his emergence, and the title Qā’im (mgehr) before his emergence.
Imam Bāqir (pbuh) stated, ‘Indeed he was called Mahdī, because he is going to be guided via the secret [Divine] path.
‘It’s a chapter, in which I collected the hadiths and traditions about Mahdī (mgehr)
I briefly mentioned, the forty hadiths that “Hāfiz Abu Na’īm” had presented.
In addition, I added and encoded in “K” whatever he hadn’t mentioned.
[Well], the whole hadiths that were collected in this book_ both narrated and added by Abu Na’īm_ are more than two hundred hadiths…
In his book Ibṭāl al-Bāṭil, Faḍl Ibn Rūzbahān wrote some sentences about the truth of prophet (pbuh&h)’s Ahl al-Bayt [household]. He ends the text as:
How good I wrote about them:
Peace be upon Mustafā۱ (pbuh&h); Mujtaba 2. [The Prophet (pbuh&h)]
Peace be upon Sayyid4 Murtaḍā۵ [Imam Ali (pbuh)]
Peace be upon our lady Fāṭimah (pbuh), whom God assigned her Khayr al-Nisā’ ۵
In the Last Era [of my people], there comes a caliph who donates abundant wealth and doesn’t count it.
[Then], a man will come to him and request him, ‘O, Mahdi (hgr)! Grant me [something]! Grant me…’
And Mahdi (hgr) will donate him as much as he can carry.
Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Abi-Bakr Siyuṭi [Deceased in 911AH], started his book “Al-Ḥāwī Lilfatāwā” with these sentences:
‘It’s a chapter, in which I collected the hadiths and traditions about Mahdī (mgehr)
I briefly mentioned, the forty hadiths that “Hāfiz Abu Na’īm” had presented.
In addition, I added and encoded in “K” whatever he hadn’t mentioned.
Do you know what issues have been written in the authentic Sunnis books, about Imam Mahdi (hgr)’s moods and face?
Well, he is similar to the Prophet (pbuh&h) in morals, and name.
[For example like the Prophet (pbuh&h), he has] a high forehead, a narrow nose, a bright face, etc.”
“I am seeing1 Sufyāni who deployed [his troops] in Kūfah square.
And his crier calls,” Whoever brings heads of Ali’s Shiites, will be gifted one thousand Dirham.”
۱- Imams, Prophet Muhammad, other prophets (pbu th), and other great majesties had the power of spiritual seeing; because of their piety and other spiritual features. So, the word” seeing” here refers to this type.
When a Sunni Muslim (from Kenya) asked about Imam Mahdi (hgr)’s status, the time and place of his emergence and other issues of Mahdīsm,
the Wahhabi religious center in Saudi Arabia “Rabitah Al-‘Alam al-Islami” responded like this:
“Mahdi (hgr), Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh b. Ḥasani1, is Alawi and Fatimi (pbu th).
And he is the promised and awaited Mahdi (hgr)!!
He will emerge in the Last Era
Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Abi-Bakr Siyuṭi [Deceased in 911AH], started his book “Al-Ḥāwī Lilfatāwā” with these sentences: ‘It’s a chapter, in which I collected the hadiths and traditions about Mahdī (mgehr) I briefly mentioned, the forty hadiths that “Hāfiz Abu Na’īm” had presented.
