Summary
Imam al-Mahdi is one of the major signs of the Day of Judgement and is a descendant of the Prophet. According to the cited hadith, he has a broad, fine forehead and a prominent nose, fills the earth with justice after it was filled with oppression, and rules for seven years. Another hadith states that he will emerge from the east. The timing of his appearance is an unseen matter known only to Allah, and belief in his coming is obligatory for every Muslim.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Imam al-Mahdi merupakan salah satu di antara tanda besar hari kiamat yang mana beliau adalah daripada keturunan Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
