NOTICE A summary of the Hadith of the Mahdi, peace be upon him.

 The Mahdi as a person who comes in the future is from the unseen, and his Hadith falls under the category of creed and rulings, from which only the authentic is taken. As for the details related to his temporal, spatial, and personal characteristics, they fall under the virtues of deeds, where both authentic and weak narrations are considered for encouragement. If they occur in reality, they are a testament that they are from the lamp of prophecy.

 Regarding reports and Israelite narrations about the Mahdi, if they align with what we have, there is no harm in discussing them and drawing lessons from them. However, if they contradict, it is obligatory to abandon them.

 We must strive to apply the Hadith to reality and follow events and occurrences to establish the Caliphate that has fallen. This is because in our time, it has become a divinely ordained cosmic and legislative decree that we are obligated to establish as an individual duty. The Caliphate will not be established except by the Imam Mahdi, whose time of emergence has dawned upon us, as the texts indicate. Whatever is necessary to fulfill an obligation is itself an obligation.
