It is imperative that the routes of the firm beliefs and understandings of Islam must be contained in the Holy Ouran, the words of Allah. It is with the reason, the basic belief of 'MAHDAVIYAT is seen in the ayats of Quran in totality (that is the society, from every aspect) reaching to the heights of justice and fair place.

Apart from this a number of Quranic ayats have been commented upon by the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) and his pious vicegerents on the subjects of 'MAHDAVIYAT. Those who possess the knowledge of Quran. have raised certain points from its meaning in such a way that the basis of this subject is proved along with its various aspects beyond doubt.

Shia Ulemas have frequently collected Ayats from good old days on this subject which are supported by Ahadees. Late Shaikh Ali Yazdi Haeri in his priceless book 'EL ZAMUN-NASIB’ has collected more than 120 ayats. Similarly Allama Sayyed Hashim Behraini has also collected 120 ayats in his famous book “Al MAHAJJATO- FI- MAA- NAZZALA-FI-QAIMIL-HUJJAH”. But it is a fact that the total number of ayats on the subject are definitely more than this number.

Lately a book by the name “AL-MAHDI-FIL-QURAN” has been written on this subject, with this charachteristic that it had traditions related directly or indirectly through references from authentic books of Ahle-Sunnat. The number of such verses is 105. It is hoped that the translation of these 'ayats’ published here will increase the basis of the faith in 'MAHDAVIYAT in those hearts which are burning with the love of Hazrat Hujjat [a.s.]. these very people would be prepared and putting in more and more efforts to fly high the flag of Justice, equality and belief. 'O' Lord give life to the Holy Quran by your nominee and proof [Hazrat-Hujjat) and always enlighten us with the light of his Radiance and let not the darkness of night creep into it. With his help enliven the dead hearts and cure the hearts which are full of jealousy. Gather all the desires for his sake and put them on the right path. For the sake of his pious existence. put into practice the laws of Religion which are discarded and made meaningless AMEEN!

Surah Baqarah

"IT (QURAN) IS GUIDE TO THOSE WHO GUARD (AGAINST EVIL). THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GHAIB." 2.3 Hafiz Sulaiman Qanduzi Hanafi in his book 'YANABAYUL MAWADDAT writes through his teacher who in return quotes from Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari, that ...

Jundal bin Junadah, a Jew came to the prophet of Allah (PBUH) and became Muslim after getting an answer to a question. Then he asked the holy prophet about his successors (AWSIYA). The Holy prophet (S.A.) in response to his question started to narrate the names of his successors till he said: ".... after him (Imam Hasan Askari A. S.) is his son Mohammad (AS.) who will be called by the name of 'MAHDI', 'QAIM' and 'HUJJAT. He will have an occultation.(GHAIBAT). Then he will reappear. When he will reappear (bring revolution) the whole world will be filled with equity and justice as it was before full of injustice and persecution. How fortunate and worth congratulations are those people who will work with patience and steadfastness during his GHAIBAT. How fortunate and worth congratulations are those people who will stick to his (Mahdi’s and all Imams) love. These are those people about whom Allah has, while describing their attributes in his book said "HUDAL-LIL-MUTTAQEEN" ........... till the end of Hadees. (YANABAYUL MAWADDAT) Author:

'MUTTAQUEEN' are those people who have faith in lmam Mahdi (A.S.) and 'GHAIB' is he himself. As it is known that 'GHAIB' is a thing which can not be perceived by the five senses. Just as 'GHAIB' applies to ALLAH who can not be comprehended by five senses and 'AAKHRAT (Hereafter) which also is a GHAIB as it is hidden from the five senses. Exactly in the same manner Imam-Mahdi [A.S.) too is 'GHAIB' (occultation). [During the occultation of Imarn [A.S.I no one will be able to see him and if somebody sees him he will fail to recognise him. There are very few people who have been or will be fortunate enough to see him)
" SO THERE GUSHED FROM IT TWELVE SPRINGS" (2:60)

The great scholar Syed Hashim Behrani. in his book. 'GAYATOOL-MARAM' quotes from [he book 'AL-MANAQIB' wntten by Faqueeh Abul hasan bin Shaazan* (Hundred merits from non-shia narrators) who has narrated from lbn-e-Abbas that "I have heard the Holy prophet (PBUH) saying that (lbne-Abbas starts a lengthy hadees of which a part. is given .below.) "One who is pleased with my Love, Obedience and Guardianship should accept the WILAYAT (LOVE, Obedience and Guardian-ship) of Ali-Ibn-e-AbiTalib and of the Imams who will come in my progeny. As they are Treasurers and protectors of my Knowledge. At this moment Jaabir bin Abduilah got up and asked: 'O' Prophet of Allah, what are the numbers of Imams? The Holy Prophet (PBUH] replied; 'O' Jaabir may Allah send this mercy upon you, as you have inquired from me about whole of Islam. Then he said, "They are in equal to the number of springs which gushed out for Musa bin lmran when he struck his stick on a stone. The number of springs were twelve'.
