HAQEEQAT E MEHDI

Coming of Great Reformer rests in the belief of every religion and its religious books. In the religions of the entire world even Red Indians, Africa and known & unknown tribes living in Australian forests are also waiting for coming of that messiah. This great reformer has been remembered by different names in religions as, in Islam he is called Imam Mehdi, Qaim, Al-muntazir, Hujjat ullah and Burhan, Sahib in the book of Ibrahim, Qaim in The Psalms of David, Odqeel and Shabih in The Old Testament, Mohmeed and Massih-uz-Zaman in the Gospel, Kalmat ul Haq in some books, Khusro in Christian Books, Sarosh, Eezd & Yazdan in Zoroastrianism; Shamatil in the book of Armatis; Meeta in Theravada; Mitra in Persian; Kalki Autar in Hinduism; Mansoor in Vad and Tiri Thinker in Jainism.

A common object which his personality has is that all the Religions had expressed him a significant character. Even if it has been considered thoughtfully maybe every religion has stated him unintentionally higher than its prophet. Some religion has been given the rank of God to the coming personality whereas the other has given him the title of Prophet and another has specified him a saint, Imam, Reformer or Renewer. After his arrival in the world, everyone will give him the status according to his believes. In those religions where there is narration of arrival of prophet they will call him Prophet. Since the Muslims are the claimant of end of prophet hood, therefore, they will believe in him as Reformer, Imam or Renewer whereas many believers including Hindus and the worshipers of Sun and Moon will give him the status of God. From this, it also reveals that this personality is higher than all the status or ranking and it is improper to bound or specify him for the rank of God, Prophet, Imam or Saint.

A misunderstanding for this VIP which is found in the followers of all the religions is that he will be made their religious belief excelled in the world, meaning thereby according to Jews, Messiah will come and make them predominant whereas as per Christians, Christianity will take over the world by this personality, in accordance with Theravadas, he will make everyone Mahatma (Holy); to Persians, he will make the entire world Persian by restoring their dignity; to Hindus, he will conquer the entire world for Hinduism and same thinking has the followers of Jainism whereas the reality is that he will take with him a new religion which, in Quran, is called “Deen-e-Elahi” or “Deen-e-Hanif”. His teachings will be so attractive that the followers of every religion will accept it without any hesitation and there will be no conflict or clash for religion and this demonstration will also be the sign of his greatness and firm control.

Put to in mind that it will not be a new religion but will be the common religion of all the prophets which is called “Deen-e-Elahi” or “Deen-e-Hanif” (Religion of God). This religion has no sect. In Quran, it is called by many names e.g. Deen-e-Allah, Deen-e-Qayyam, Deen-e-Haq and Deen-e-Khalis etc. Deen-e-Elahi is the soul and life of every religion. After having meeting with Allah through Imam Mehdi (AS) people will reunite like the following verse of Quran:

“People were a single nation.” (Before coming of Prophets, people had only one religion)

(Al-Baqra, Verse 213, Chapter 1, Part 10)
