The Unique Savior

TEHRAN (Asremrooz): one of the Sha’aban 15th passed and the unique savior did not come. These days are Hazrat Mahdi’s birthday and all Shias in all around the world celebrate and commemorate it. What is our duty in his birthday? Our duty is to try to familiar Imam Asr more to the world as well as other religion.
Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Mahdi born on 15th Sha‘ban 255 AH is believed by Twelve Shi‘a Muslims to be the Mahdi, Mahdi means “directed” an ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imam of the Twelve Imams. Twelver Shias believe that al-Mahdī was born in 869 and did not die but rather was hidden by God in 941.
The appearance of the savior is a belief in all religions but they vary. Shias believe that the son of Imam Hassan Asgari is the ultimate savior.
Followers of Sunni Islam and other minority Shi'ites believe that the Mahdi has not yet been born, and therefore his exact identity is only known to Allah. Aside from the Mahdi's precise genealogy, Sunnis accept many of the same hadith’s Shias accept about the predictions regarding the Mahdi's emergence, his acts, and his universal Caliphate.
It is better to have a short point in Holy Quran about the unique savior.
The question raised is how is it possible to be alive for many years? There are two answers from the holy Quran.
• Allah recited “if Younes was not worshiper, he would stay in fish’ belly until the judge day”. When Allah can survive Younes in the fish it is possible that Imam Mahdi be alive for long time.
• Ashab Kahf lived 309 years in the cave
The belief of appearance of the savior is in the culture of all religions so more that 80 %of people believe that the ultimate savior will come and save them. Due to this fact many movies have been produced about savior.
One of this movie made in Hollywood is the omen released 1976. This story is about the devil’s son who was born early and he wanted to occupy the earth. Finally the savior appeared and fought him and killed him.
There are various ideas in the Holy Bible that are not the same. Totally the event that will be occurred in the appearance of savior is as follow:
Elyas must appear before Jesus ‘coming after Jesus’s death and his ascendency and his appearance will announce great events. Jesus‘s coming and beginning of the great day does not have any signs. Some events including wars, disasters and earthquake will be happen before appearance.
Christians believe that Jesus will appear in the world and they try to convey this thought into the entire world. Although Christians’ belief is not similar to Shias’, they have the same root. Shia’s believed that the Jesus will be appeared with Imam Mahdi but the ultimate savior is Hojjat-ibn –Al Hassan peace be upon him. Although we have the most complete religion and we know the accurate and complete definition of the savior, we have not had important steps in this field.
They can convey their belief into the world by making animations, games and movies but we have not done anything yet.
Although Christianity and Judaism belief about the savior and his appearance is not true, their efforts can be appreciated. We hope that we learn how to express our belief or at least do not say ridiculous words such as fiber optic.
Western counties are trying to spread their belief about the savior in media including making evil dead game and adventure Sum and producing some popular and expensive movies such as Konstantin, Terminator, and The Omen. Of course we do not need to spent so much money and we can easily stick our belief to the worlds’ mind.
For spreading the belief of appearance we must be aware of other religions’ idea about the savior in order to study and investigate it.

From sea to sea and from the River to around the earth, will be his reign.
All would be for him, all successors shall serve him because, and when the cry of the poor will be heard he will help them.
