'''The Occultation of Imam al-Mahdi''' (Arabic:{{ia|غيبة الإمام المهدي}}) refers to the belief that the last and twelfth Shi'a Imam, [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]], was disappeared. The occultation was conducted at the permission and will of [[God]] and is one of the basic and mandatory teachings of the [[Twelver Shi'a]] sect. In [[Hadith]]s that have discussed the motives behind occultation, the idea of putting the Shi'a to test has been cited. | '''The Occultation of Imam al-Mahdi''' (Arabic:{{ia|غيبة الإمام المهدي}}) refers to the belief that the last and twelfth Shi'a Imam, [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]], was disappeared.
