 '''Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-'Askarī''' (Arabic:{{iarabic| محمد بن الحسن العسکری}}) (born in [[255]]/869), also known as '''Imam al-Mahdi (a)''' ({{iarabic| إمام المهدی}}), is the twelfth [[Imam]] in [[Twelver Shi'ism]]. He is the promised savior, who will rise one day and fill the earth with peace and justice. Imam al-Mahdi (a) has been in [[occultation]] from the early years of his life. Shi'as regard him as the Imam of the present age. Among his well-known titles are Imam al-Zaman (the Imam of the time) and Wali l-'Asr (the guardian of the age).
-Imam al-Mahdi (a) became the Imam after the demise of his father [[Imam al-Hasan al-'Askari (a)]] in the year [[260]]/874, when he was five. From that time until the year [[329]]/940, he was in contact with his followers through his [[Four Deputies]]. After that, his [[Major Occultation]] started, in which period the direct guidance and leadership of the [[Shi'a]] community rests with religious scholars.
