“The Savior” in Islam
[But] Islam, is the only heavenly doctrine which hasn’t been changed or distorted
Both Shiites and Sunnis call The Promised Savior in Islam “Mahdī (mgehr)”
[In fact], Mahdī (mgehr) is his most well- known title.
mahdi
You [human beings] exist, as long as beneficence exists
When two things are extremely far and different on the rank point of view (such as God who is in the highest position vs. the world which is in a very low rank),
There needs for intermediates, in order for the low rank to contact the high.
Like “sunlight”, which is an intermediary between the fireball of the sun and the cold globe of the earth.
The savior in Buddhism “Maitreya”
Maitreya means kind and lovely.
In Buddhist symbolism, he is shown as a man in a sitting position that is ready to stand.
Well, this is the symbol of rise. [The emergence]
Wherever Buddhists are, Maitreya is as a main character in their thoughts.
It is a thought that still exists among the Buddhists
The most famous word amongst the Sunnis
Have you known, Mahdī (mgehr)is the most famous title for Imam Zaman (mgehr)?
[And], have you known the word Mahdavīat is more famous amongst the Sunnis?
In narrations the title Mahdī (mgehr) has mostly referred after his emergence, and the title Qā’im (mgehr) before his emergence.
Imam Bāqir (pbuh) stated, ‘Indeed he was called Mahdī, because he is going to be guided via the secret [Divine] path.
A man of your race [The last Shiites’ Imam (hgr)]
اصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ [ص/۱۷] Have patience at what they say, and remember our servant David, the […]
Another book from Sunnis scholars about Imam Mahdī (mgehr)
‘It’s a chapter, in which I collected the hadiths and traditions about Mahdī (mgehr)
I briefly mentioned, the forty hadiths that “Hāfiz Abu Na’īm” had presented.
In addition, I added and encoded in “K” whatever he hadn’t mentioned.
[Well], the whole hadiths that were collected in this book_ both narrated and added by Abu Na’īm_ are more than two hundred hadiths…
How should one look forward to [the Emergence]?!
The looking forward mentioned in narrations, is not just sitting and crying!
[But], we should prepare ourselves for serving Imam Mahdi (mgehr).
Looking forward for The Emergence means being on the alert for it, prepared,
And again denial!!
The above verse shows they [disbelievers’] denied Imam Qa`em (mgehr)
As they will say to him (mgehr),’We do not know you. And you are not of Fatima (pbuh)’s descendants.’
Just like what polytheists said to Prophet Muḥammad (pbuh&h)!
“Seeking The Savior” among Indo Americans
This is a common belief among Indo Americans tribes that,
someday their savior will emerge and lead them to the heaven of the Earth.
Only up to 1890 (around 120 years ago), more than 20 types of these movements were recorded in American continent history.
Which is more important?!!!
Some materials are essential for a train, to reach a destination;
Including wagons, rails, fuel, locomotives, a locomotive driver and a path clear of obstacles [such as falling rocks, etc.]
Also some trains smoke and whistle, which show they are approaching the destination.
Smoke and whistle are like the signs of the Emergence
