If Allah(SWT) sent the Mahdi next year, would you follow him?

[Falcon29]

Let's assume Allah(SWT) answered the prayers of Muslims(to help this Ummah), and enabled for an environment where certain righteous/sincere Muslims can look or agree on a righteous man to lead the Muslims, and he happens to be the Mahdi. Would you follow him immediately? Assuming conditions are met to prove that?

By follow immediately, meaning pledge allegiance to him as a leader for Muslims in your heart, and take his advice on matters, acknowledge he is rightly guided and listen to him and implement what he wants to implement for society.

I'm just curious since a lot of people on this forum want change in the Muslim world, so let's see what we are looking that.

I will follow him immediately if the necessary conditions are met(which should be noticeable from beginning, will not be hard telling real one from fake one).

Remember it's normal for us to witness these events. Before us the people witnessed the Prophet's(AS) and more. What is required of us to follow Allah(SWT) and worship him sincerely. Since we will all be alone in hereafter.

Btw, it's Fard(obligatory) to follow him as Muslims assuming we do live to witness that time. I would like to hear your genuine perspectives.

 

[Rizwan Alam]

There are many signs and prophecies to be fulfilled before the arrival of Mehdi and surely he is not coming next year. As for your question, Yes I
Would follow him for sure.

 

[Well.wisher]

Yeah sure y not ..
What's his fb account

 

[IbnAbdullah]

Aoa

So if Allah azawajal has sent the mehdi, why in the world would I not immediately want to follow him?

Problem is how do I know if it's the real mahdi? There've been plenty of fake ones before as well.

How is it "fard" ??

The Holy Qur'an makes no mention of any such Saviour/Messiah ..

It's for example sake, I could have said tomorrow , few months or several years/decades from now. Thanks for your answer, though. That's a good thing.

Is Mahdi proven from Sahi bukhari or Muslim?

 

[Sheepistanis]

To follow him or even believe in his arrival, I first need to know what the Holy Quran says about it.

Fake ones are easy to recognize, majority of the time they try persuading people to follow them for years. Real one will not be known to anyone except in Mecca at the Kaaba when scholars will find him and press him to accept leadership. Also there will be an dispatchment of battalion from 'Sham' region that will be swallowed by earth on their way to Mecca, among other signs.

Salam, I'm not entirely sure on 'fard' but I believe scholars suggest it is and some ahadeeth point to so. He is not savior or messiah. Allah will help him restore Islam in Muslim world right before final major signs. To be honest it is probably Allah proving to mankind how he can change conditions on earth and raise a righteous peoples out of a time where it seems impossible.

Basically once it becomes apparent that the scholars and Ummah agreed on him, and the conditions were met. At that point we have to follow. If we just decide not to for rest of our lives even thought conditions are met then yeah it becomes a problem there.

Is Mahdi proven from Sahi bukhari or Muslim?

I don't think Bukhari, but possibly Muslim. There are other hadeeths and scholars have agreed on it's 'tawatur' and agreed it is real and will happen. Some older famous scholars and modern ones, like Ibn Baaz and Albani have suggested so as well.

To follow him or even believe in his arrival, I first need to know what the Holy Quran says about it.

Is the Mahdi real or not?

The ahaadeeth concerning the appearance of the Mahdi reach the level of Tawaatur in meaning (tawaatur refers to a hadeeth which was narrated by so many people through so many isnaads that it is inconceivable that they could all have agreed on a lie). The imaams and scholars of this ummah have stated this, and a few of their comments are quoted below:
..
..

You should be aware that some liars have fabricated ahaadeeth about the Mahdi, and others have even claimed to be he, or that he belongs to a group other than Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaaah. Some of these "false mahdis" have tried to deceive the slaves of Allaah for some worldly gain and to distort the picture of Islaam. Some have started movements and revolutions and gathered those people and supporters whom they were able to deceive. Then they were destroyed, and their lies and falsehood were exposed. None of this affects the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaaah in the Mahdi, upon whom be peace, and that he will undoubtedly appear and rule the earth in accordance with Islamic Shareeah. And Allaah knows best.

As pointed out by Dr. Shabbir, The dogma of a promised one is found almost in every religion of the world.

When the Messiah of the Jews comes he will bestow upon them the everlasting kingdom.

When the Messiah of the Christians shows up again, mankind will unite under Christendom.

Likewise when the Meeta, Buddha II arrives he will erase all religions and turn every human being into a Mahatma.

The Mithra of Zoroastrians will herald the return of the lost Maggian glory for his followers.

The "Kalki Avtaar" will revive Hinduism to total victory.

The Tri-Thanker of Jainism will unify all human beings on earth into his religion. Then all people will become Bugs Bunnies eating plants only.

It is amazing to note that even some ancient tribes of Africa and the Americas charm themselves with this "redeemer" concept.


Our Imam is Qur'an, we already have it . All we need to do is to follow it. The Holy Qur'an says that Allah will not change the condition of a people unless they change what's in themselves(13:11). Instead of borrowing concepts from other religions, we should follow Qur'an.

Salam, agree with you we have what we need. That does not disvalidate the appearance of the Mahdi. He is not a savior in any sense in Islam. He is regarded as the rightly guided Caliphs are like Abu Bakr(RA), Umar(RA), Ali(RA), Uthman(RA). So nothing is going to be saved, Muslims will have to make an collective effort together at that time. It just requires a qualified leader basically. Everything will be the same, we will all have to observe tenets of Islam and try to be sincere as possible in hopes that Allah will grant mercy on us after we die.

Religious discussions are not allowed.

This isn't theological discussion, just wondering about peoples perspectives of something Muslims universally agreed upon.

Only if it benefitted Pakistan and the Mehdi was a Patriotic/Nationalistic Pakistani.

Fair enough.

Anyways I will be silently reading what others have to say. I have gave necessary links/explanations needed and they are sufficient. I wasn't intending to make it religious discussion.

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Assuming conditions are met to prove that?

Allah(SWT) answered the prayers of Muslims(to help this Ummah

If these are met. Then of course the answer is "Yes". Absolutely. No conditions attached.
