Imam al-Mahdi

Muhammad ibn Hasan al-Mahdī (محمد بن الحسن المهدي‎), also known as Imam Zaman (Persian: امام زمان‎), is believed by Twelver Shī‘a Muslims to be the Mahdī, an eschatological redeemer of Islam and ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imām of the Twelve Imams who will emerge with Isa (Jesus Christ) in order to fulfill their mission of bringing peace and justice to the world. Twelver Shī‘a believe that al-Mahdī was born in 869 (15 Sha‘bān 255 AH) and assumed Imamate at 5 years of age following the killing of his father Hasan al-Askari.

Will we get to live during the arrival of Imam Mahdi, Prophet Isa (as), and the Dajjal? Will we be resurrected to witness such events, or would only people who live on earth at those times get to experience them?

Does it refer to the days of the arrival of Imam Mahdi (as) rather than the Day of Judgment since it says that Allah will raise (only) one witness from every nation to bear witness upon people?

What is the difference in the meaning of the terms آل الله and آل رسول? Is using titles like قمرآل الله for Hazrat Abbas or منتقم آل الله for Imam Mahdi appropriate? Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi	In the letter written to his last deputy, Imam Mehdi (a) said that anyone claiming to meet him during Major occultation before Sufyani's advent is a liar. But there are reports of various people meeting him, so how can these be reconciled? Amina Inloes
