And it was also filled with injustice. Some people in the Mahdist belief had strange superstitions, among them that some would go out every day to a specific place before sunrise, waiting for the Mahdi to appear, because some legends specified the place and time of his appearance. If they found nothing, they would return with their heads bowed. Among these was what Ibn Khaldun narrated, that they used to calculate the Imam's appearance using gematria to determine the time of his appearance. If this time came and he did not appear, they would claim that this date was his birth date, not the date of his appearance. In any case, this belief in the Mahdi and his attributes does not align with the nature of things. What caliph is infallible? What human knows the unseen? What human disappears and remains hidden for hundreds of years without God's decree of death overtaking him, and then always has two flowing eyes with honey and water in them? All these things are only permissible for the simple-minded who have lost their minds. I believe that public awareness and reason will reduce the recurrence of the Mahdist tragedy in the future.
