General knowledge test.
If someone said that "I am the Maahdi" And his name and everything matched except one thing. What would it be and will you believe him?
 
:salamext:

Good question bro :) ...

No, I wouldnt believe him, because he has to fulfil ALL the signs, which our Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi sallam) said.

No one is required to take him as the real Mahdi, until I believe, when the Earth swallows up an army which tries to invade Makkah (I believe?) which would confirm he is here and then you must accept him.
 
Interesting I will tell the correct answer when the poll ends:).
 
the dajjal is gonna be earlier than the Mahdi isnt it?
 
Yes that is what I think. He will try to interogate us as much as he can before the Maahdi comes.
Let someone with more knowledge answer to Guvens question.

hmm I always understanded that the Dajjal will come first , and then the Mahdi right after and at last Isa ( Aleyhi Salam )
 
Is the Mahdi mentioned in the Qur'an? If so, I would believe that the Mahdi will arrive.

No, I will not believe anyone if he says he's the Mahdi, because firstly, I don't even know if the Qur'an mentions this person or not. Most Sunni I know don't believe in the concept of Mahdi.

Yes high scholars think this is a imagination of the Shia but it isn't. Allaah knows the best.
 
:sl:

The Mahdi will come, and he is mentioned by the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wa sallam in the authentic hadeeth. He is not as the shia claim - hiding in a cave somewhere nor is he the same person that they claim. He is going to be a man from amongst this ummah who Allaah will rectify in one night. He will not claim to be the Mahdi but the people will force him to take the oath of allegiance in the Masjid al-Haram between the Rukn Yemeni and Maqam al-Ibrahim. There will be an army sent to out to Makkah but Allaah will cause that army to be swallowed up by the Earth. ONLY after this clear sign has come, that is when the Muslims are to go to him.

And there have been many individuals in the past that have claimed to be the Mahdi - but the second any person claims to be the Mahdi, by default he is not the Mahdi. The real Mahdi will never claim to be so.

So in regards to the poll, no I wouldn't believe anyone that says "I am the Mahdi".
 
Abu Saayad you hit the jackpot the Maahdi will not tell anyone that he is the maahdi. Show you what brother?
 
As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

No, I wouldn't believe it, because you should be aware that some liars have fabricated ahaadeeth about the Mahdi, and others have even claimed to be he, or that he belongs to a group other than Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah. Some of these "false mahdis" have tried to deceive the slaves of Allah Taala for some worldly gain and to distort the picture of Islam. Some have started movements and revolutions and gathered those people and supporters whom they were able to deceive. Then they were destroyed, and their lies and falsehood were exposed. None of this affects the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah in the Mahdi, upon whom be peace, and that he will undoubtedly appear and rule the earth in accordance with Islamic Sharee’ah.

Allah Taala knows best.
 
I wont believe him.

Imam Mahdi will be forced to be the Imaam by the mass in the Haraam...he doesnt want to be one.But due to persuasion he'ill accept the demand.

So...anyone who declare himself 'imam mahdi' is definatly a 420(con man).
 
my reasons and I am not sure it has been posted already-- is that the Mehdi won't know he is the mehdi.. in fact the change in happen will happen overnight as per many ahadiths I have read -- also his name won't be 'the mehdi' .. when he realizes who he is, as in that moment he takes refuge in Mecca, will be the same moment everyone else realizes who he is as well..
funnily enough a few yrs ago when my brother made the Hajj some poor guy claimed he was al- mehdi .. but it was rather tragically comical ... needless to say he was arrested, and most likely underwent a psych. consult.
anyone who claims he is a Mehdi is one of two things
either suffering from schizophrenia with delusions of grandiosity or is a malingerer who can stand to gain something from deceiving people....


and Allah knows best

Excellent post. Really than could it be anyone of us?
