Imam Muhammad b. al-Hasan al-Mahdi (a): Difference between revisions

Several hadiths predicted the birth and occultation of Imam Mahdi (a) before his birth. Many hadiths also speak about his rule. According to these hadiths, he is the Imam who will rise by God's command and establish a universal rule. Before his uprising, he has two periods of occultation, one of which is longer than the other. The [[Minor Occultation]] started from the birth of the Imam until 329 AH, when the last ''specific deputy'' of the Imam (a) passed away. After that, the [[Major Occultation]] started, which will end when he will rise against the injustice and oppression that fills the world.
