According to [[Shi'a]] belief, God never leaves the earth without his authority, the ultimatum, and infallible Imam. After the martyrdom of the [[eleventh Imam (a)]] in 260AH/864, the twelfth Imam, [[Muhammad b. al-Hasan al-'Askari]], who was born in 255AH/646, inherited the position. By God's understanding and his will, the twelfth Imam disappeared from sight in 329, although he is still alive and shall reappear one day to free the world from the violence and injustice that fills it, in order to place justice and fairness instead.
