Did you know [the word] “Mahdī” is one of the most famous sobriquet of Imām Mahdī (mgehr)?

Did you know the word “Mahdavīat” is most popular [sobriquet] amongst Sunnis?!

In narrations, the sobriquet “Mahdī” is often used about The Excellency [Imām Mahdī (mgehr)] after the emergence and “Qāʾim” 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).”
