Mahdi Meer

From SikhiWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Mahdi Meer (ਮਹਿਦੀ ਮੀਰ), or Mehndi Mir, a person that will come in future to finish Kalki Avtaar. Acc to hindus, Vishnu will have one final future Avtaar called Kalki, similarly Shia Islam predicts a return of the 'concealed' 12th Imam ('The Mahdi') that will also return for a final judgement of good over evil.

There are two prophesied Messengers that were narrated by Guru Gobind Singh in his own way. Acc to him, the Kalki avtar will become full of pride then Mahdi Meer will come and remove pride of Kalki Avtar and when Mahdi Meer walks the same line as the Kalki Avtaar, (i.e equating himself with god) then he also will die from a insect (created by God) which will enter into his body and will disease him.

No birth place of the Mahdi is given. The Madhi is mentioned only 3 times in the Guru's Chobis Avataar; the Killing Kalki Avtaar, his forgetting essence of God and his predicted death.

Mahdi in Islam

The following beliefs concerning the Mahdi are shared by both Sunni and Shia Muslims according to scholar Moojan Momen:[3]

  • The Mahdi will be a descendant of Muhammad of the line of Fatimah.
  • He will be descendent by one side (by one of the parents) by Hassan and by another by Hussain.
  • He will have the same name as Muhammad.
  • He will be a fore-runner to Jesus' Islamic Rule.
  • His coming will be accompanied by the raising of a Black Standard.
  • His coming will be accompanied by the appearance of the Masih ad-Dajjal (Antichrist).
  • A star with a luminous tail will rise from the East before the coming of the Mahdi.
  • He will re-establish the Caliphate.
  • He will fill the world with justice and fairness at a time when the world will be filled with oppression, which is war and calamities.
  • He will have a broad forehead, a prominent nose, and a natural mascara will ring his eyes.
  • His face shall shine upon the surface of the Moon.
  • The name of the Mahdi's representative will begin with the first-letter of a prophet's name and a verse of the Qur'an: ی (English: Y)
