Does Hazrat Mahdi (as) belong to an Islamic school? No. Is Hazrat Mahdi (as) Sunni? No. Alawite? No. It is like the period of our Prophet (saas), the period of the Companions of our Prophet (saas). HAZRAT MAHDİ (AS) HAS THE CREED OF OUR PROPHET (SAAS). THEREFORE THERE CAN BE NO PROBLEM OF DİVİSİON, DİSİNTEGRATİON, OR A PROBLEM OF AUTHORİTY AMONG MUSLİMS. - Harun Yahya
