  7. Conclusion

In the Qur'an, Almighty Allah has revealed that He will cause Islamic moral values to prevail on earth. In the hadiths our Prophet, too, has stated that Mahdi will be a means whereby this great and holy event duly takes place in the End Times. As a requirement of Qur'anic moral values, and as reported by our Prophet, the rule of Islamic moral values will be brought about with love. When Islamic moral values come to prevail, the world will attain peace and security, and all forms of disorder, conflict, anarchy and terror will come to an end. Distressed by the disorder and oppression of the End Times, people will be delighted with the justice, compassion, generosity, love and interest of the Mahdi, who will cause Islamic virtues to prevail on earth.

The glad tidings of the inevitable appearance of Mahdi in the End Times is revealed as follows in the hadiths of our Prophet: If just one day of the life of this world remains, Almighty Allah will prolong it and someone from my Ahl al-Bayt will come. His name will be like mine. His father's name will be like my father's name.

He Will Fill the World that is Full of Oppression and Evils with Justice and Mercy.

Mahdi is one of my people, and HE WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH TRUTH AND JUSTICE, just as it is now filled with cruelty and torture. (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/93)

This (Amr) [Mahdi] WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH JUSTICE, just as people previously filled it with cruelty. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/348)

His [Mahdi's (As)] Justice Will Cover All

314 people, including women, will swear allegiance to Mahdi, and all tyrants will be overthrown before him. HIS

Time Will be So Just that the Dead in the Tomb

People will be gathered around Mahdi as honey bees cluster around their sovereign. HE WILL FILL THE EARTH THAT WAS ONCE FULL OF CRUELTY WITH JUSTICE. HIS JUSTICE WILL BE AS SUCH THAT HE WILL NOT WAKE A SLEEPING PERSON OR EVEN SHED ONE DROP OF BLOOD. THE EARTH WILL RETURN TO THE AGE OF BLISS.
