The Promised Mahdi

Al Muntazar

In Kamaaluddin1 it is narrated from Imam Muhammad Taqi (a.s.) that he said: The Imam after Hasan, is his son, Qaaem ba Haqq and he is the awaited one. The narrator asked:Why is he named as the awaited one He replied: He will be in Ghaibat and pious and sincere people will await his reappearance while those in doubt will deny him and will ridicule his remembrance . Those who will hasten will be destroyed and those who submit will be successful. On the basis of this report, Muntazar is with the vowel ‘a’ on ‘z’; that is he will be awaited by all the creatures.
