“Certainly We wrote in the Psalms, after the Torah: ‘Indeed My righteous servants shall inherit the Earth.’” (Holy Qur’an 21:105)
The Torah of Prophet Moses, the Psalms of Prophet David, and the Evangel of Prophet Jesus (peace upon all of them), do not say the inheritors of the Earth will be any particular ethnic group or a cult that loves to enslave and slaughter those  fellow humans whom it considers as a sub-human race.
In such a case it will be gross injustice for all mankind and an insult to the All-Merciful Creator Whose promise of salvation is only for the righteous and not the wrongdoers, the racists, the oppressors, the occupiers, the warmongers, the liars, and the genocidal regimes.
God’s promise is true, and the day will definitely come when the Planet will be rid of all oppressors, oppression, corruption and vices, with establishment of the global government of peace, prosperity and justice.
This will materialize through the reappearance of the Redeemer of mankind, along with Prophet Jesus (AS), to make the righteous and virtuous masters of the Earth, as foretold in all Heavenly Scriptures.
As a matter of fact, the Saviour of humanity is among us, although our physical eyes cannot perceive him. Blessed be the true believers who are eagerly waiting for his return.
As a matter of fact, today the 9th of Rabi al-Awwal marks the start of the divinely-designated mission of the 12th and Last Infallible Heir of the Almighty’s Last and Greatest Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
He is the Prophet’s namesake, and was a boy of only five years when he was orphaned the day before on the 8th of Rabi al-Awwal, 260 AH (874 AD), with the martyrdom through poisoning of his father, Imam Hasan Askari (AS).
The Divine mantle of imamate came to rest on his shoulders under circumstances when the self-styled caliph of the usurper Abbasid regime, after assassinating his father, was bent upon finding him and murdering him as well.
But by the Grace of Allah Who bestowed prophethood upon Jesus (AS) while still a boy in the cradle and saved him from the conspiracies of the Israelite, the 12th Imam went into occultation, and will reappear as “Qa’em al-Mahdi” in the end times to cleanse the Planet of all vestiges of oppression and corruption by establishing the global government of peace and justice.
This has been promised in the holy Qur’an, for instance in Ayah 5 of Surah Qassas, we read:
“And We desired to show favour to those who were abased in the land, and to make them Imams, and to make them the Heirs;”
Whatever the arrogant and the ignorant do, with all their material and military power, they cannot belie the Words of God Almighty.
According to Imam Ali ibn Abi Taleb (AS), the Gateway of the City of Wisdom and Knowledge, the above-mentioned Ayah refers to the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt or the Blessed Household of the Prophet of Islam, whose rights were usurped and the day will come when the 12th and Last Infallible Heir of the Seal of Messengers, will appear to establish the global government of peace, prosperity and justice.
Yesterday, we commemorated the martyrdom of Imam Hasan al-Askari (AS), the Prophet’s 11th Infallible Heir, who was forced to leave the world in the prime of his youth, at the age of 28 years, through a fatal dose of poison administered on the orders of the arrogantly ignorant Mo’tamed, the self-styled caliph of the usurper Abbasid regime.
The head of the superpower of those days then launched a manhunt in vain for the son of his victim, on learning that the Prophet’s 12th Heir, the Promised Mahdi, who would rid the world of corruption and oppression and whose birth he had tried to prevent, was already born.
The Abbasids, unable to find any trace of the 5-year old orphan and deeming him too weak to pose any danger to their rule, since his mother had predeceased his father and his uncle Ja’far was also against him, they continued their misrule of sins, corruption and oppression for a few more centuries, until another bloodthirsty tyrant, the Mongol Marauder Hulaku Khan, thrust the so-called caliph into several sacks and trampled him under the hooves of horses.
Imam Ja’far as-Sadeq (AS), the 6th Infallible Heir of the Prophet, over a century before the birth of Imam Mahdi (AS), has given the following tidings:
“When the Qa’em shall arise, he will rule with justice, the tyrants of his time shall fear him, the righteous will be safe, the earth shall reveal its treasures, all the truth-seekers will seek his company and no follower of any religion would remain except that they see Islam and declare their faith in it.”
He also said: “The earth has not been devoid of a representative of God, since God created Adam; a representative that was either visible and well-known or invisible and concealed. (Likewise) The earth will not remain devoid of such a representative of God till the occurrence of the Hour (Doomsday), for if it were to remain without God’s representative, then God would not be worshipped!”
Now in our present times, the caliphate of the criminals has ended with the defeat of Daesh in both Iraq and Syria, let us cast a look at the concept of Imam Mahdi (AS) amongst our Sunni brethren. There are six major collections of hadith compiled by Sunni scholars. These are: “Sahih Bukhari”, “Sahih Muslim”, “Sahih Tirmidhi”, “Sunan Ibn Majah”, “Sunan Abu Dawud”, and “Sunan an-Nisa’i”. All these books are unanimous that Imam Mahdi (AS) will come in the last days to establish the global government.
These books clearly state that Imam Mahdi (AS) is a member of the Prophet’s Immaculate Ahl al-Bayt; he is from the progeny of the Prophet’s Daughter, Hazrat Fatema Zahra (SA); he is from the progeny of Imam Husain (AS); and Prophet Jesus will also reappear and pray behind him Imam Mahdi (AS).
Many other leading Sunni scholars have written books after books exclusively about Imam al-Mahdi (AS), whom the heretical Wahhabis are trying in vain to deny.
Ahmad Ibn Hanbal has quoted a hadith in his “Musnad” that reads: The Prophet said: “Allah will bring out from concealment Mahdi from my Family and just before the Day of Judgment; even if only one day were to remain in the life of the world, and he will spread on this earth justice and equity and will eradicate tyranny and oppression.”
This is also mentioned by another Sunni scholar, Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, who wrote: “The Ahl al-Bayt are like the stars through whom we are guided in the “The Ahl al-Bayt are like the stars through whom we are guided in the right direction, and if the starts are taken away (or hidden) we would come face to face with the signs of the Almighty as promised (i.e., the Day of Resurrection). This will happen when the Mahdi will come, as mentioned in the hadith, and Prophet Jesus will say his prayers behind him, the Dajjal will be slain, and then the signs of the Almighty will appear one after another.”
Let us pray to God Almighty to hasten the reappearance of the Imam of the Age, who will be accompanied by Prophet Jesus (AS). This will make most Christians become devout Muslims and turn against the satanic powers such as the US and the illegal Zionist entity – if these fast vanishing regimes do exist then. Amen.
