THE TRUE CONCEPT OF
IMAM MEHDI
Just as the Anti-Christ will have the complete support of the Devil, the true Imam Mehdi shall have the full authority of God. Only those will be safe from the deception of the Anti-Christ who manage to enlighten their hearts by virtue of spiritual knowledge. It is the Awaited Imam Mehdi who will grant humanity the method by which they can protect themselves from the mischief of the Anti-Christ 3.
According to scripture, the Anti-Christ, Lord Jesus Christ and the Awaited Imam Mehdi will come in the same era: the twilight of the world. God himself sent down religions for different nations and it was he who gave human beings the concept of an Awaited One in the first place. Muslims await Imam Mehdi, the end times saviour who will work with Lord Jesus Christ to bring the world into an era of complete peace and harmony after defeating the Anti-Christ. Jews await a personality of exactly the same calibre who will also come in the last days: the Messiah. Similarly, Hindus await Kalki Avatar who will end the Kalyug( Dark Ages). It is against God’ s temperament to send personalities of equal authority in the same era. If Imam Mehdi were to come for Muslims, the Messiah for Jews and Kalki Avatar for Hindus, would there not be a power struggle between them?
Imam Mehdi is not separate from the Messiah or Kalki Avatar. These are different titles for one personality: the Awaited Saviour of humanity.
Some Muslims claim that Imam Mehdi is the 12th Imam in the line of infallible Imams highly regarded by the Shi’ ite sect( this is incorrect, since it was Imam Abu Hanifa who held the rank of being the 12th Imam). This is a notion that stems from the use of the misnomer,‘ Imam Mahdi’ which means‘ The Guided One.’ However, the original title for the Awaited One is‘ Imam Mehdi’, which itself does not have an Islamic connotation. Imam Mehdi literally translates to‘ The One of the Moon’- an allusion to the image of the Mehdi that has become prominent on the Moon.
Prophet Mohammad, when indicating the mischief of the Anti-Christ, stated that mischief would emerge from the Muslim nation and would finish within them. It is very likely that while the Anti-Christ will be a False Mahdi, the true Imam Mehdi will also initially come forth from among the Muslim community.
Remember well: Imam Mehdi is not an Islamic figure. He is a universal personality who will cater to the needs of all mankind. He and Lord Jesus Christ will join hands, but neither will impose any religion on anyone; they will only preach divine love.
The notion that Imam Mehdi will kill Jews or persecute them in any way is downright ridiculous.
His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi, due to his revolutionary teachings and spiritual power, is believed by many to be the awaited Imam Mehdi, Messiah and Kalki Avatar.
His Divine Eminence does not talk about the supremacy of Islam or any other religion. The essentiality and importance of religion have been revoked by His Divine Eminence. In the eyes of HDE Gohar Shahi, supremacy belongs to God and his love, not any religion or individual.
