Rather, all earlier divine scriptures have made a mention of it.[^1] • There is no dispute in the Islamic Ummah vis-à-vis the belief in Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.). But there are numerous differences concerning his name, tiles and genealogy . When the name mentioned in the heavenly books of the other nations were not found to be apparently compatible with that of Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s.). people set out storing the books themselves. The fact is that everybody is waiting for a universal savior.

●Islam, in general, and Shiaism in particular, have discussed about Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) in a most clear and unambiguous manner.[^2] For the Ahlal – Sunnah too, the belief in Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) is an irrefutable one.

●It was the duty of every Prophet (a.s) to give the glad tidings concerning the advent of Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) to their nation.[^3] • Allah the Almighty, has promised all the nations regarding the reappearance of Imam az-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.).[^4] • All Prophets (a.s) and their successors have been awaiting the reappearance and just government of Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s).[^5] [^1]: (Muntakhab al-Asar, p. 171, quoting from Dalaael al-Imaamah.
