Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Al-mahdipeace Be Upon Him Time and Venue of the Reappearance of His Eminence, the Master of the Age (a.s) Here we shall discuss in brief traditions of the Messenger of Allah (a.s) regarding the time and place of reappearance of His Eminence, system of his government and the special characteristics of the companions of His Eminence.

Time of Reappearance As for the time of the reappearance of His Eminence, Imam Mahdi (a.s), it would be a Saturday of the month of Mohurrum. It shall be the day when the chief of the martyrs, Imam Husain (a.s) was martyred (10th Mohurrum).

Abu Basir narrated from Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s) that he said, “Our Qaim shall reappear on Saturday, the day of Ashura – the day when Imam Husain (a.s) was martyred.” [1] Ali Ibne Mahziyar narrated from His Eminence, Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) that he said, “As if I am seeing the Qaim on a Saturday, the day of Ashura, standing between Rukn and Maqam and Jibraeel is in the front calling that oath of fealty be given to him for the sake of God.

Then he shall fill the earth with justice and equity like it would have been full of injustice and oppression.” [2] [1] Kamaluddin [2] Ghaybah, Shaykh Tusi Abu Basir narrated from Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s) that he said, “Our Qaim shall not reappear but in an odd numbered year, like one, three, five, seven or nine, on the day of Ashura and (it would be) a Saturday.

He shall stand between Rukn and Maqam and someone standing before him would be calling: ‘Allegiance, allegiance!’ Thus the helpers of His Eminence shall rush towards him from all around the world and give allegiance to him. Then through him the Almighty Allah would fill the earth with justice and equity, just as it would have been filled with injustice and oppression. Then he would move from Mecca to Kufa and camp at Najaf.

From there he would dispatch his armies to various cities.” [1] Time of the call of the Angel As for the time of the call of the angel or Jibraeel and his glad-tidings about the reappearance of His Eminence, Imam Mahdi (a.s) it is the eve of 23rd of the month of Ramadan.
