The Holy Prophet Muhammad(SAW)
has prophesied about several events
that will occur just before the advent
of the day of judgment. Among these,
Rasulullah(SAW) has foretold the
advent of one of his descendants, Al
Mahdi (the guided one), which will
materialize when the believers are
severely oppressed in every corner of
the world. He will fight the oppressors,
unite the Muslims, bring peace and
justice to the world, rule over the
Arabs, and lead a prayer in Mekkah at
which Isa(pbuh) (Jesus) will be
present.
Throughtout the history of Islam, a
few individuals -- driven either by the
desperate state of Muslims in their
community or a selfish pursuit of
power and prestige -- laid claim to
being Mahdi and found a following
among the uninformed masses who
were looking for salvation from the
heavens. For some of these individuals
(like Bab of Iran or Mirza Ghulam of
India) the claim to being Mahdi was
just a stepping stone to the
development of heretic sects which
broke away from the fold of Islam.
Thus, it is at least prudent to visit the

from time to time.
As Muslims, we should remember that
the prophecy about Mahdi is one that
will come to pass. This prophecy,
however, does not absolve the Muslim
ummah from its duty to strive in the
cause of Allah(SWT), oppose injustice,
and seek peace and betterment of
human condition. Centuries have
passes from the time of the holy
Prophet(SAW) and there is a good
possibility that many more will expire
before the advent of Al Mahdi. Muslims
who are negligent in their duty hoping
for a savior are committing a grave
mistake and are not following the
divine decrees ordained in Quran or
taught by Rasulullah(SAW).
