Mahdi Nick Name

Great people usually have a name and a nickname more than one. Prophet alaihi wa have names and nicknames of Muhammad, Ahmad, Taha Yasin, al-Bashir, an-Nadzir, and so forth. Imam Ali and the imams from the descendants of his, too. It is not an accidental thing. However, exposing one side of the personality and spiritual so that they have.

Imam Mahdi did not escape the rule above. He even has a name and a nickname more than one, such as al-Mahdi, al-Hujjat, al-Qa `im, al-Muntazhar, al-Khalaf as-Salih, shahib al-Amr, and As-Sayid. On this occasion, we will mention some of it along with the reasons asserted by the traditions why he has a name and nickname.

a. Al-Mahdi.

In some traditions, he was dubbed by al-Mahdi. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah said, "The name al-Mahdi is my name." A similar Hadith has ever been uttered by the Commander of the Faithful as.

That's because God always show it to the things unseen are not known by anyone. In this regard Imam Muhammad al-Baqir said: "If al-Mahdi we have risen, he would distribute treasures with equally and do justice to the masses. Anyone who obey him, then he has obeyed Allah and whoever opposed him, so he had opposed God. He was given the name al-Mahdi, because he always showed it to something secret"

b. Al-Qa `im

The nickname he revealed a very significant meaning. Al-Qa `im is the one who stands or stood up. Awakening him later at the end of time different from that of the whole resurrection thing that ever happened in human history. Can be assumed that his resurrection is the only resurrection that has never been witnessed by a creature of God. If the resurrection, the resurrection has ever happened in history was only partial and territorial, his resurrection is universal and worldwide. He will spread the fragrant perfume of truth to the whole world so that everyone would be able to enjoy it with full discretion.

In a hadith of Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq once said, "He named al-Qa` im as he will uphold the truth (the resurrection). "

Abu Hamza ats-Tsumali once asked Imam al-Baqir: "O son of The Prophet, would not you all are the people who uphold the truth (qa` imîn bil-haq)? "

"Yes," he replied.

"Why only the Imam Mahdi, nicknamed al-Qa` im? ", He asked again.

He replied: "When my grandfather Hussain was killed, the angels bawl in front of God 'Almighty ... After that, God showed the priests of the descendants of Hussain (to them). They become excited about it. (At that time), one of them was standing (qa `im) his prayers. Then he said: 'With (intermediaries) who was standing it I will get revenge on them (the killers)'. "

c. Al-Muntazhar

If the confidence of the world community waited and waited for a job is a tedious activity, awaiting the arrival of a savior savior of all suffering is an expectation that could give new energy to the activities of a person in his daily life. In this context he was given the nickname al-Muntazhar, people who always awaited his arrival.

Imam al-Jawad as was once asked: "O son of The Prophet, why he was nicknamed al-Qa` im? "" Because he will rise again after the forgotten and the majority of people who believe his leadership are an apostate, "he replied. "Why was given the nickname al-Muntazhar?", He asked again. "Because he has a very long disappear. People who are sincere will always be a pending presence and those who would deny it dirty, "he replied firmly.

d. Al-Hujjah

In the Islamic faith, proof of God must always exist in every age. It never passed an era absent proof of God there. Because he is the only intermediary faidh (grace and the gift of) the Divine for all creatures. Without proof, faidh Divine will be disconnected and the entire universe would be devastated.

Allah Know The Best
