Hazrat Mahdi (as) will Possess a Hitherto Unseen Conception of Justice

In the Qur'an, Almighty Allah has revealed that He will cause Islamic moral values to prevail on earth. In the hadiths our Prophet (saas), too, has stated that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be a means whereby this great and holy event duly takes place in the End Times. As a requirement of Qur'anic moral values, and as reported by our Prophet (saas), the rule of Islamic moral values will be brought about with love. When Islamic moral values come to prevail, the world will attain peace and security, and all forms of disorder, conflict, anarchy and terror will come to an end. Distressed by the disorder and oppression of the End Times, people will be delighted with the justice, compassion, generosity, love and interest of the Hazrat Mahdi (as), who will cause Is-lamic virtues to prevail on earth.

The glad tidings of the inevitable appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times is re-vealed as follows in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas):

If just one day of the life of this world remains, Almighty Allah will prolong it and someone from my Ahl al-Bayt will come. His name will be like mine. His father's name will be like my fa-ther's name. HE WILL FILL THE WORLD THAT IS FULL OF OPPRESSION AND EVILS WITH JUSTICE AND MERCY. (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi, Great Hadith Collection, Rudani, Vol. 5, p. 365)

According to what is revealed in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas), Hazrat Mahdi (as) will ap-pear in Hijri 1400 and cause Islamic moral values to prevail on earth. With the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as), all oppression and injustice in the world will come to an end and be replaced by jus-tice, peace, love and security.It is perfectly clear from the hadiths in the Qutub as-Sittah (The Six Books) and from statement by such great Islamic Scholars as Imam Rabbani, Suyuti, Barzanji and Bediuzzaman Said Nursi that the second coming of the Prophet Jesus (as), the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the global dominion of Islamic morality will take place in the Hijri 1400s, in other words, in our own time.

According to the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) abundance of all products, establishment of se-curity, peace, justice and bliss, the use of all means for the comfort, peace and happiness of humanity and distribution of countless goods to people will take place by means of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the Hijri 1400s, in other words, in our own day. This environment of justice and peace to which Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be a means will be very wide-ranging and unique. Some of the related hadiths are as follows:

If there were only one day left for the world, that day would be lengthened until a man [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] from among my Ahl al-Bayt, will be sent; just as the earth is filled with cruelty, HE WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH JUSTICE. (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/92)

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my people, and HE WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH TRUTH AND JUSTICE, just as it is now filled with cruelty and torture. (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/93)

This (Amr) [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH JUSTICE, just as people previously filled it with cruelty. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/348)

During the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), justice will prevail to such an extent that every pos-session taken by force will be returned to his owner. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `alamat al-mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 23)

HIS [HAZRAT MAHDI'S (AS)] JUSTICE WILL COVER ALL PLACES and he will rule among people with the Sunnah of the Prophet (saas). He will even also call for one who is in need to be brought forward, and when that command is obeyed only one person will come. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `alamat al-mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 20)

314 people, including women, will swear allegiance to Hazrat Mahdi (as), and all tyrants will be overthrown before him. HIS TIME WILL BE SO JUST THAT THE DEAD IN THE TOMB WILL ENVY THE LIVING... (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Ala-mat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 22)

People will be gathered around Hazrat Mahdi (as) as honey bees cluster around their sover-eign. HE WILL FILL THE EARTH THAT WAS ONCE FULL OF CRUELTY WITH JUSTICE. HIS JUSTICE WILL BE AS SUCH THAT HE WILL NOT WAKE A SLEEPING PERSON OR EVEN SHED ONE DROP OF BLOOD. THE EARTH WILL RETURN TO THE AGE OF BLISS. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 29)

HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL COME AS A JUST JUDGE… (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `alamat al-mahdi al-muntadhar, p. 31)
