SPOTLIGHT
Prophet Mohammad has been quoted as saying,‘ A time will come upon humanity when nothing will remain in Islam for except its name and nothing will remain in the Koran for except the customary recitation. Their mosques will be fancy but there will be no guidance in those mosques. And nothing under the sky will be more mischievous than their religious scholars. From them mischief will emerge and into them, mischief will return.’ [ Narrated by Ali, Mishkat al-Masabih 1 / 91 Hadith 276 ]
Another prophecy foretells that a day will come when the Koran will be lifted by God. [ Narrated by al-Daarimi with a saheeh isnaad, no. 3209 ] Many people take the literal meaning of this statement, and declare that the words will disappear off physical books. However, the Prophet Mohammad also said,‘ There will come a time upon the Muslim nation when people will recite the Koran, but it will not go further than their throats( into their hearts).’ [ Bukhari ]
Therefore it seems far more likely that the first prophecy was hinting at the moment in time when mankind would stop being guided by scripture.
It is logical to conclude that the era of Imam Mehdi will be one in which people will be religious, but ignorant of the religion’ s true purpose.
If we look at the state of affairs today, there is no denying that Islam has ceased to exist. Over 73 sects have emerged and never has there been so much widespread, barbaric killing in the name of Islam. According to oral traditions, then, the time for Imam Mehdi’ s advent is now.
So if Imam Mehdi isn’ t coming to spread Islam throughout the world, as Wahhabis and Shi’ ites claim, what will he do?
According to the Koran, flocks of humanity will enter the Religion of God in the future. [ 110:1-3 ]
The Muslim faith awaits Imam Mehdi in the end times, while also declaring Prophet Mohammad to be the last of all prophets. When there will be no other prophet and there will be a religion established in the future, it makes sense to say that the responsibility of establishing the Religion of God has been given to the
Awaited One, Imam Mehdi.
The Koran said,‘ When the true believers of all religions quit their religion, God will send his own nation on Earth. They will love God and God will love them.’ [ Koran: 5:54 ] According to the Torah, towards the end times, God’ s sons will come on Earth. [ Romans 8:19 ]
His Divine Eminence Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, believed by many to be the Awaited Imam Mehdi, Messiah and Kalki Avatar, has declared God’ s religion to be God’ s love. His message is the continuation of the message of Lord Jesus Christ, which is nothing but pure, divine love.
According to Biblical texts, Jesus is to return towards the end times. [ Hebrews 9:28 ESV ]
As per the Muslim faith, Jesus will return towards the end times when the advent of Imam Mehdi’ s takes place, and Jesus and Imam Mehdi will work together. [ Bihar al- Anwar, vol. 51 p. 76 ]
The new religion of love will be the only religion in the world, because every single human being will want to adopt it. [ Koran 110:1-3 ] With the help of Imam Mehdi, Lord Jesus Christ and their doctrine of love, this world will turn into a beautiful place.
Like God, Imam Mehdi sees all equally. Imam Mehdi is going to fill the world with justice and hearts of humanity with love. He is not an enemy of Christians, Jews, Hindus or any other religion. He does not see the USA, Israel or any other Western country as an enemy. He is neither a political figure nor a militant; he is the Universal Saviour who has come to help humanity connect with God regardless of their religion.
With the revolutionary spiritual teachings introduced by Imam Mehdi, the hearts of humanity will be filled with God’ s presence and united under the umbrella of divine love. Peace and justice will prevail.
Imam Mehdi will not establish a worldwide caliphate; rather, Imam Mehdi along with Lord Jesus Christ shall establish the Kingdom of God on Earth. The Kingdom of God is not to be established on land, but in the hearts!
