Abstract:
The belief in the uprising of the promised savior (Mahdi) is a common cause between original Shiite and Sunni as the main denominations of Islam. This belief can only become realized if we firstly have those expectations and, secondly, provide the grounds for it. The present article seeks to address these two categories in the narratives. Due to many traditions in this regard, the present article, except in rare cases, refers only to authentic narrations and refuses to quantify the various traditions of the weak source. This research seeks to show that the expectation of the savior in both denominations is a common issue overall, and even any negative impression or some replies to critiques has been documented in narratives of both denominations (not just Shia). The necessity of laying the foundation for the savior is even clear for non-believers in the case of Mahdaviyyat. In the continuation of the existence of groups that always seek for the truth and provide the basis for the emergence based on the traditions, accounts of what will happen, have been fixed and characterized for them, such as the onset of the uprising from the East and the end of it in Jerusalem, the intimidation of the existing opposition, the last battle with the leading Antichrist with Imam Mahdi aided by the companionship of Jesus Christ. At the end of the article, the narration of Qom's man can also be interpreted as the invitation of Ayatollah Khomeini who gave an opinion that exporting the revolution can be created by promoting three important issues of pure Islam, independence and democracy. Thus, the recent allegations of Muhammad bin Salman goes against all these facts and it only expresses his own phobia of Iranians and Shiite people.
