Imam Mahdi: Heir of HRH King David [as], the King of Israel: Messianic Age

This is a proclamation; no doubt about it, compiled by the awaited Imam, - Imam Mahdi. When I come to the world, I found that a lot of conjectures, doctrines and claims have been spread within the Muslim Ummah. Men had already claimed to be the Mahdi before the real one. A lot of claimants did take advantage of the status quo; the rulers were oppressing the people; or a political turmoil, conflict of ideas and religious and spiritual decadence were prevalent in the Muslim society. However, Imam Mahdi ( the Guided One ) is none other than the Man-in-Ya-Sin whom the scholars had conjectured to be Habibun Nadjdjar, despite the fact that the Man-in-Ya-Sin is the ONLY man whom Allah [swt] had divinely authorize to speak to the people in the Holy Qur an, a man who is not a prophet at all, and would come aIer the prophet Muhammad [pbuh], the Messenger of Allah and the Khatam-an Nabieen. So, the concept of Habib-un Nadjdjar was just a plain shortsightedness. Similarly, a series of claimants, claiming to be the Mahdi was a clear example of misguidance misleading the people into misunderstanding ad-Deen al-Islam.
