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 .
