The promised Imam Al-Mahdi
Who is usually mentioned by his title of
He was born in Samarrah in 256/868 and until 260/872 when his father was martyred, lived under his father's care and tutelage. He was hidden from public view and only a few of the elite among the Shia were able to meet him.
After the martyrdom of his father he became the Imam and by Divine.Command went into Ghaybat(Occultation) .
Thereafter he appeared only to his Na'ib (deputies) and even then only in exceptional circumstances.
The lmam chose as a special deputy for a time, Uthman Ibin Sa'id Umari, one of the companions of his father and Grandfather who was his confidant and trusted friend. Through his deputy the Imam would answer the demands and questions of the Shia.
After Uthman Ibin Sa'id, his son Muhammad Ibin Uthman Umari was appointed the deputy of the Imam.
After the death of Muhammad ibn Uthman, Abul Qasim Hussain Ibin Ruh Nawbakht was the special deputy, and after his death Ali Ibin Muhammad Simmari was chosen for this task.
A few days before the death of Ali Ibin Muhammad Simmari in 329/939 an order was issued by the Imam stating that in six days Ali Ibin Muhammad Simmari would die.
Henceforth the special deputation of the Imam would come.to an end and the Ghaybat Al-Kubra (Major Occultation) would begin and would continue until the day God grants permission to the Imam to manifest himself.
The Occultation of the Twelfth Imam
This Is divided into two parts
- The First, the Ghaybat Al-Sughra (Minor Occultation)
Which began in 260/872 and ended in 329/939, lasting about seventy years
- The Second, the Ghaybat Al-Kubra (Major Occultation)
Which commenced in 329/939 and will continue as long as God wills it.
In a hadeeth upon whose authenticity everyone agrees, The Holy Prophet had said,
"If there were to remain in the life of the world but one day,
God would prolong that day until He sends in it a man from my community and my Household.
His name will be the same as my name.
He will fill the earth with Equity and Justice as it was filled with oppression and tyranny."
