{{Shi'a Beliefs-Vertical}}

'''Rajʿa''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|الرَّجعَة}}), is the belief that a group of people who have died will return to the Earth shortly after the [[reappearance]] of the [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)|twelfth Shi'a Imam, al-Mahdi (a)]]. It is a belief particular to the [[Shi'a]]s. The [[Holy Qur'an]] has mentioned the story of some people who have been resurrected after death. Based on some [[hadith]]s, a number of perfect believers as well as a number of complete infidels will return to this world. The return of [[Imam Ali (a)]] and [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] has been especially emphasized. Since there are [[mutawatir]] hadiths about raj'a, it is a certain fact. However, details about raj'a are not as certain.
