Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Al-mahdipeace Be Upon Him Signs of the Reappearance of the Imam of the Time (a.s) Traditional reports of the Prophet of Islam and Purified Imams (a.s) on the subject of the reappearance of His Eminence, Imam Mahdi (a.s), mention about signs and portents of his advent. They mention about the time and place where he would reappear. However, the signs of reappearance can be categorized into the certain and probable signs of reappearance.

Certain Signs Narrations and traditions are unanimous in this respect and some of the signs preceding the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s) are certain and inevitable.

Among them are the following: Widespread Injustice and Oppression Among the prominent signs of reappearance of His Eminence, Imam Mahdi (a.s) is widespread injustice and oppression and total absence of peace and security in such a way that fear, terror, calamities, problems, corruption, mischief and ignorance will dominate human society.

The people shall do anything for the sake of the world and they shall compete with each other on the way of sin and evil and in their view sin would be considered good and on one hand the Islamic Law, like in the beginning, would be unknown to the people. Kingdoms of the great oppressors of the world would subjugate Muslims and their reputation and economic sources shall be destroyed.

Following are some traditions in this regard: Abu Saeed Khudri has narrated that the Holy Prophet (a.s) said, “After me mischiefs will arise and Ihlas (Addiction) is one of them.

And in it is war and flight and after that also mischiefs will arrive in such a way that for every age it would be said that another mischief has ended in the same way it will move forward and these mischiefs will enter each and every center of the family of all Arabs and Muslims till a man from my progeny will appear.” [1] This tradition proves that tribulations, bloodshed, calamities and horrible events would surround the Islamic and non-Islamic countries and the life of all Arabs and Muslims.

Abu Saeed Khudri has narrated that the Holy Prophet (a.s) said, “This severity and suffocation would continue on you in such a way that the earth shall be replete with injustice and oppression and no one would dare to say, “God”. After that the Almighty Allah would send a man from my progeny who would fill the earth with justice and equity just as it would have been fraught with injustice.
