Muhammad al-Mahdi According to Twelver Shi'as Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi (or Muhammad ibn Hasan ibn Ali) is the twelfth Imam and the Mahdi, the ultimate savior of mankind. Other Shi'a schools adhere to different Imam successions and do not, along with Sunnis, consider Muhammad the Mahdi. Twelver Shi'as...

Muhammad ibn Hasan ibn Ali was the actual 12th imam that existed, but the Bab returns in the spiritual fulfillment of this imam. it is unlikely that the actual person himself would return. the "return" doesn't mean the same exact person, i.e. same body, same name, etc. even the bible says...

ill have to take a look at closer look at that, but that's beside the point—the plain fact is that the Bab referred to Himself countless times as the Mahdi, or Qa'im, as i have shown with several quotes, so there is no doubt whatsoever that He designated Himself this station. or would you like all ...

But the Sunnis say your Shi'a hadith are false, fabricated, etc. (like Shi'as say about Sunni hadith), so 85% of Muslims have reason (whether good or bad) to disbelieve in the Imams.

Friends, huwa is just a pronoun! It could refer to Allah, a man, or even a camel.

The Bab was the Forerunner of Baha'u'llah, much like how John the Baptist announced was the coming of Christ. His mission was to get people ready for Baha'u'llah. Most of His laws were very specific.

The Bab progressively revealed His status. At first when people understood Him to be the gate of the Imam (as those four gates had done for the Holy Imam in an earlier age), He perhaps didn't correct them. But when He was challenged about it, He stated that He wasn't such a (mere) gate. The others ...
