Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Humanitarian Rights in the Time of Appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh) Or World Promised Saviour Government Which Paves the Way For the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (af) In the name of Allah, the unblemished One Who bestows safety to the believers. The One with majesty and greatness, May Allah bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad, the most pure and chaste of the creatures and exalt them with the most exalted of the blessings.

"One who dies while expecting the government of Al-Qaim is like one who is in the presence of al-Qaim." (Imam Jaafer as-Sadiq (a)) The Holy Quran clearly predicts the final victory of the forces of righteous, peace and justice over those of evil, oppression and tyranny, of the world-wide spread of Islam, the complete and all-round establishment of high human values, the formation of a utopian and an ideal society at the hands of the representative of God.

Surely, the land is Allah\'s; He gives it for an inheritance to whom He wills, from His servants and the future shall be for the pious and devote servants. (Holy Quran, Sura Aaraaf, verse 128). This paper presents a study on the concept how we could achieve the preferred political, social and cultural conditions to establish a fair and just global government in preparation for the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (af). History has shown that man is incapable of electing the right people to leadership.

Islam itself makes it necessary for its believers to live within the framework of an Islamic order. Some of their religious obligations can only be fully realized within a political state where the leadership and structure of government are divinely ordained. The Islamic government is an extension of the authority of the Prophet (s) and holy Imams (as) because it works for social justice and welfare of the people which is the main purpose of divine laws and decree.

The invaluable guidance from Imam Ali (a) as collected in the Nahj ul Balaghah is a reliable source for a jurist at helm of any government to explore political fiqh and draw strategies so as to overcome the problems concerning human rights, internal policy, international relationships, and economics, military and political sociology.

The famous epistle in the Nahj ul Balaghah, letter 53 from Imam Ali (a) to Malik al-Ashtar al-Nakh'i his just Governor of Egypt is still the greatest set of administrative commands on human freedom and rights.
