The Physical Characteristics Of Hazrat Mahdi (As) - 1

HOW HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE RECOGNISED?

Our Prophet (saas) has provided a great deal of identificatory information in the hadiths regarding the moral and physical features of the Hazrat Mahdi (as). He tells us that Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) moral values resemble his own, and praises those moral values and his fear of Allah. Our Prophet (saas) has also stated that the Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a most valuable individual who will be a means whereby people attain salvation in this world and in the Hereafter.

The chaos, oppression, climate or war and terror, strife, famines and earthquakes that have occurred in the last few decades are all portents of the coming of the Hazrat Mahdi (as). Being aware of this encourages all Muslims to learn more details about the signs of the coming of  Hazrat Mahdi (as) and about his titles. Each new piece of information enhances their enthusiasm still further.

Our Prophet (saas) has provided Muslims with information about the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times. As he said in imparting this information to Muslims, “These are great glad tidings that increase the excitement and enthusiasm of all Muslims.” Together with the hadiths of our Prophet (saas), Islamic scholars have also transmitted the excitement and enthusiasm of these tidings in manuscripts that have come down from their day to ours, and have served as vehicles whereby the subject can be kept alive and monitored by the faithful. The portents that are taking place in our own time show that the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is close at hand.

The corruption, oppression, climate of war and terror, strife, famines and earthquakes that have occurred in the last few decades are all portents of the coming of the Hazrat Mahdi (as). Being aware of this encourages all Muslims to learn more details about the signs of the coming of the Hazrat Mahdi (as) and about his titles. Each new piece of information will enhance their enthusiasm still further.

The hadiths of our Prophet Muhammad (saas) describe the physical features of Hazrat Mahdi (as):

“Even if as little as a day is left of the life of the world, Allah will send an individual from my people. He will fill the world with justice, as it was (once) filled with cruelty  (Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 14, p. 402)

He will be descended from our Prophet (saas)

All the prophets are related to one another. According to the hadiths, the Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also be descended from that same line. People descended from the Prophet (saas) are popularly known as “sayyid.”

Some of the hadiths that refer to the Hazrat Mahdi (as) being descended from the line of our Prophet (saas) read as follows:

It is related from the blessed Ali that the Prophet (saas)  stated: “Even if no more than  a day remains until Doomsday, Allah will send an individual (the Hazrat Mahdi (as)) from my Ahl al-Bayt.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/92)

Days and nights will not end until one from my house rules the entire world. (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib)

It is related from Said ibn al Musayyab that the Prophet (saas) stated: “The Hazrat Mahdi (as) is from the line of my daughter, Fatima.” (Ibn Majah, 10/348)

Learn the glad tidings of  Hazrat Mahdi (as). He is from the Quraish and one of my house. (Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 13)

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children. His face is like a star shining in the heavens.” (Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Qari al-Hanafi “Risalat al- Mashrab al-Vardi fi mazhab al-Mahdi”)

Our Prophet (saas) said:

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a man of 40, from my line. His face is like a star shining in the heavens. (Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Qari  al-Hanafi “Risalat Mashrab al Vardi fi Mazhabi’l Mahdi”)

The Prophet (saas) said:

“Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children. His face is like a bright star.”  (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib)

His Face Is Beautiful and Radiant

He (the Hazrat Mahdi (as)) is a beautiful young man, with a beautiful face. The light of his face rises to his head and the blackness of his hair. (Mahdism and Imamiya, p. 153/ Ikdud, Dura)

His face is radiant like a shining star.

(Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 33)

Our Prophet (saas) said: “Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a man of 40 from my line.  His face is like a star shining in the heavens.”

(Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Kari al-Hanafi, “Risalat Mashrab al Vardi fi Mazhabi’l Mahdi”)

The Prophet (saas) said:

“Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children. His face is like a bright star.” (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib”)

“He is beautiful of face. The light of his countenance bestows grandeur on him” (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’s “Feraidu Fevaidi’l Fikr Fi’l Imam Al-Mahdi Al-Muntadhar”)

“He (Hazrat Mahdi (as)) is a young man of medium stature and a beautiful face. His hair falls to his shoulders. The light of his face, shines like day on the blackness of his hair, his beard and his head and gives him greatness.” (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib)

His face is like a bright star. (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’si “Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar”)

His Teeth Are Bright

His teeth are bright …(Ali Ibn  Husamaddin Al Muttaqi)

His Thighs Are Long

His thighs are long, and he is Arab in complexion. (Portents of the Doomsday, Barzanji, p. 162-163)

There Is a Mole on His Cheek

Hazrat Mahdi (as) has a thick beard, his front teeth are bright, there are moles on his face, and his brow is wide. (Mar’iy ibn Yusuf ibn Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Makdi’si “Feraidu Fevaidi’l Fikr Fi’l Imam Al-Mahdi Al-Mundhazar”)

There is a mole on his face.. (Ali Ibn Husamaddin Al Muttaqi)

There is a sign on his cheek, reminiscent of a pearl, that illuminates his face like a star.
