Did you know the word “Mahdavīat†is most popular [sobriquet] amongst Sunnis?!
In narrations, the sobriquet “Mahdī†is often used about The Excellency [ImÄm MahdÄ« (mgehr)] after the emergence and “QÄʾim†is used before the emergence.
Imam Baqīr (pbuh) said, “He was called Mahdī, because he is guided via the unseen affair [Divine way].
He will exploit Torah and other Divine books from a cave in Antioch (in Turky).â€
