Hazrat Mahdi's (as) name and renown will constantly spread across the world
Hazrat Mahdi (as), who is revealed in the hadith as coming in the End Times, is a holy individual awaited with great love and fervor by the whole Islamic world for some 1400 years, whom all Muslims at all times wish to live alongside, and blessed and charged with a most honorable task by Allah (God). Our Prophet (saas) reveals that Allah will send Hazrat Mahdi (as) as a great blessing for the entire Muslim world and that he will ‘cause Islamic moral values to prevail across the world. According to the information provided by our Prophet (saas), the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is now very close, and will soon take place. According to the indications in the hadith, Hazrat Mahdi (as) has already started work and is carrying out his activities among people. However, it is still uncertain who Hazrat Mahdi (as) actually is; people do not recognize him, even though he is among them, and do not know him by his title of Hazrat ‘Mahdi’ (as).

However, the hadith of our Prophet (saas) provide a great deal of detailed information, signs and evidence for people to be able to recognize him. One of the important pieces of information that provide a clue as to recognizing Hazrat ‘Mahdi’ (as) is that ‘Hazrat ‘Mahdi’ (as) name and fame will spread constantly across the world.’ Even if people do not know he is the Hazrat Mahdi (as), they will frequently see him, hear his voice, learn his ideas, follow his works and activities and speak often about him, in manners described in the hadith. The hadith reveal how during this time, people will frequently speak of Hazrat Mahdi (as), remember his name, talk about him and feel great love and fervor for him:


HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR, EVERYONE WILL SPEAK OF HIM ALONE; THEY WILL ABSORB HIS LOVE AND SPEAK OF NOTHING ELSE. 1


When Hazrat Mahdi (as) comes, PEOPLE WILL EMBRACE HIM WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION. 2


Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the most auspicious of people (in his time). His helpers and those who swear allegiance to him ... will have Jibril before them and Mikail behind. HE (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE BELOVED OF ALL LIVING THINGS. 3

Salama ibn Zufar relates: “HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR WHEN PEOPLE ARE WEARIED OF EVIL, SAVAGERY AND OPPRESSION AND WHEN NO PERSON LIVING IN RECLUSION IS AS GREAT OR LOVED AS HIM.” 4

Certain it is that he (Hazrat Mahdi (as)) WILL NOT APPEAR UNTIL HE IS THE MOST BELOVED OF PEOPLE due to the evils they suffer. 5

ALLAH WILL FILL EVERYONE’S HEARTS WITH LOVE OF HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]. 6


HAZRAT MAHDI’S GLORY WILL SPREAD ALL OVER THE WORLD THROUGH THE INTERNET, TELEVISION AND RADIO

In the End Times, the name and renown of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will spread constantly across the world. The Internet, television and radio will play a major role in this. We are told in the hadith of our Prophet (saas) that Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) renown will spread by way of images and videos carried over the Internet, television films and radio:

Hazrat Mahdi (as) will (spiritually) conquer both east and west and cause Islam (the moral values of Islam) to rule the world... ALLAH WILL BESTOW SUCH POWERS ON PEOPLE THAT EVERYONE WILL HEAR HIS (THE MAHDI’S (AS)) WORDS, WHEREVER THEY MAY BE and Imam (as) will give life to Islam...7

Certain it is that IN THE TIME OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) IF A BELIEVER IS IN THE EAST HE WILL SEE HIS BROTHER IN THE WEST. AND IF HE IS IN THE WEST, HE WILL SEE HIS BROTHER IN THE EAST. 8
