In Shi’a Islam, Imam Mahdi is the twelfth and last Imam, a grand-son of the prophet Muhammad. Muslims believe the Mahdi will rise from hiding (or is he sleeping? it’s called occultation) to rid the world of error, injustice and tyranny alongside Jesus - you know, like Batman and Robin. It’s just that I guess depending on your religion, you’d differ on which is which.
(double check my in-depth analysis with other, more knowledgeable folks. I’m not exactly an expert)
In these hard times, there are religious people who believe this current crisis is a sign of the rising of Mahdi who, according to tradition, is said to rise in the midst of a great catastrophe.
Is this why Farda News, a site close to Tehran’s mayor Qalibaf, has this opinion poll up?
