Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Universality of the Mahdi's Mission Ii. the Days of Allah "We verily sent Moses with Our revelations, saying: Bring thy people forth from darkness unto light. And remind them of the days of Allah. Lo! therein are revelations for each steadfast, thankful (heart)." Quran (14:5) II.1 Minor Resurrection - The promised day of the Mahdi's reappearance "Wait they for naught else than that Allah should come unto them in the shadows of the clouds with the angels?

Then the case would be already judged. All cases go back to Allah (for judgment)." Quran (2:210) Both the Quran and the authenticated Sunnah of the Prophet speak about this monumental day of Allah.

The Quran cites: "And verily We have written in the Psalms, after the Torah: My righteous servants will inherit the Earth." Quran (21:105) The Prophet stated: "Even if one day remains, Allah will stretch that day until the Mahdi comes to fill the Earth with Fairness and Justice after it has been filled with Tyranny and Injustice." In the monotheistic faith of Islam, Allah is neither bound by space nor by time. In the chapter of sincerity, Allah introduces Himself as As-Samad, i.e.

the Master Creator on Whom all other creatures depend, the Being that has no inner space (to have an outer shape), … etc. among other significant attributes. Space wise, Allah encompasses everything in the whole wide (and expanding) universe. Yet, nothing looks like Him. Just ponder who will be coming then "in the shadows of the clouds with the angles?" Time is absolutely irrelevant to the Creator. He is beyond it.

He is not bound with it, the same way He is NOT bound with anything else - including the clouds. If He ascribes any specific days to His name, it is only to signify the importance of those days. This is an extra reminder for the human being - who tends to forget. The same can be stated about those who are affiliated with Him. The affiliates are the elites, whom He chose. Their rank in the sight of Allah is even above than that of the closest Arch Angel - Gabriel.

With Muhammad at the focus, thanks to what he has experienced on the night of the Israa and Mi'raj, Allah has introduced these elites to one another even before their births. Similarly, He foretold the physical coming of a number of his envoys. Such assertion can be proven from the glad tidings the four angels gave the barren, old Sara.
