The combined armed forces of these nations that are trained to fight both in air and on land have more than 10 million troops on active duty. We know that Muslim countries are not united to raise a strong army for the Imam nor they are technologically equipped to assist him in any other useful way.

How the conventional sword would match with intercontinental ballistic missiles, atomic bombs, artillery shells, mines, torpedoes and many other kinds of strategic nuclear weapons normally used in world wars ? We know that the United States alone has a war machine that could launch its forces within minutes of a warning and strike anywhere in the world. 4 - According to Sunnis belief, Imam Mehdi will be born before the Doomsday and will destroy the evil Empires of his time.

Does it mean that the Imam will conquer the giant super powers by some supernatural means ? But it has never happened in the whole his-tory of prophethood. Even the Head of all prophets, the Holy Prophet (sws) did everything from the scratch to the establishment of Islamic government in normal and natural way. These are indeed some valid and useful questions which need satisfactor y answers to strengthen the unshaken belief in the re-appearance of the Holy Imam (as).

According to my research, Imam is not just idly sitting and waiting for Allah's command to come out from the hidden place. I believe, Imam must have a full scheme of work and a broad Divine agenda to follow up during the long period of occultation. But what is that Divine agenda and his scheduled occupation all through the long duration of his concealment?

The rational explanation of this question will convince the unprejudiced Muslim minds, the grave repercussion of the misconceptions they have about the coming of Imam Al-Mehdi (as). The Sunni believe that Imam's bir th will take place in future. This misconception jeopardizes the basic Divine objective of sending the Imam before the end of the world. There is a precise purpose of occultation.

However, our explanation may or may not be absolutely correct as there are many things beyond the range of our perception. A powerful Empire behind the iron curtain. We know that all the prophets were sent by Allah (swt) to guide the mankind in natural way. They all were human beings. They all lived in a natural way like other ordinary human beings. Our 12th Imam is also living in occultation in conformity with the normal sunnah of the prophets and his eleven predecessors.
