Imam Mahdi (p. b. u. h) is the Imam of believers from all social strata; and on the other hand, naturally, many people are not capable of using the argumentation of Imamology. Hence, for ordinary people, a simple way for having a better understanding of the Imam and making a better image of him in their minds is to know the physical characteristics of the Imam, which have been reflected in Islamic narrations.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Of course, in the case of the Twelfth Imam, the function of corporeal features and bodily signs is more important; because the previous Imams used to introduce and show the next Imam to the believers, but due to the disappearance of Imam Mahdi (p. b. u. h) and his longevity, the Imams before him are not alive to introduce and confirm him. Whereas in the time of the Imam's occultation which is a time of bewilderment, and a proper opportunity for the false claimants of Imam Mahdi (p. b. u. h), it is probable that the reason behind the numerous traditions mentioning the signs of Imam Mahdi's appearance is that people do not lose the right path by holding on the narrations of the infallible Imams. 1<\/a> Accordingly, in some Hadiths, physical features of Imam Mahdi (p. b. u. h) is depicted in the following general frameworks:<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=\"Imam Mahdi's resemblance to prophet Muhammad\" font_container=\"tag:h2 | text_align:left\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\" content_level=\"1\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

According to some Hadiths, Imam Mahdi (p. b. u. h) is the most similar person to the Prophet (May Allah send blessings and peace upon him and his household). J\u0101bir b. \u02c8Abd Allah al-An\u1e63\u0101r\u012b (one of the sincere companions of the Prophet) reported from the Prophet to have said, The Mahdi is from my progeny, his name and patronymic is the same as mine. Among all the people he would resemble my characters, physically and spiritually.<\/em>\u201d2<\/a><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Ahmad b. Is\u1e25\u0101q b. Sa\u02c8d al-Qumm\u012b says that he heard Imam Hasan 'Askari have said, Thank Allah that He did not take me away from this world without showing me, my successor. He (my son, Mahdi) is closest to the Prophet in his features and character<\/em>. \u201d3<\/a><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Also, it is narrated from the Prophet to have said, He (Mahdi) most closely resembles me in appearance and behavior than all other people.<\/em>\u201d4<\/a><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (p. b. u. h) says, He (Mahdi) most closely resembles the Messenger of Allah in character, face, beauty, and appearance. \u201d<\/em>5<\/a>

Imam Ri\u1e0d\u0101 quotes from the Prophet to have said, He (Mahdi) resembles me and prophet Moses<\/em>.\u201d<\/em>6<\/a><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

He (Mahdi) most closely resembles Jesus the son of Mary, in his disposition, face, dignity, and awe. \u201d<\/em>7<\/a><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

In another narration it is said that Imam Mahdi would bear a striking resemblance to his honorable father Imam Hassan al-\u02c8Askar\u012b. 8<\/a><\/p>\n

A few people had succeeded to visit Imam Mahdi (p. b. u. h) during his childhood; For example, \u1e0caw b. Ali, a man from Fars- Iran, in the course of narration, quotes some of the characteristics of the Imam's childhood, . He (Imam Mahdi) was a white fair<\/em>-<\/em>complexioned<\/em> boy . <\/em>\u201d9<\/a><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Ya'q\u016bb b. Manq\u016bsh says, I went to Imam Hassan <\/em>\u02c8<\/em>Askar<\/em>\u012b<\/em>. On the right side of the Imam, I saw a room with a curtain hanging on its entrance. I asked the Imam as to who was the Master of the Age i. e. the next Imam. Imam<\/em> \u02c8Askar\u012b replied, 'Raise the curtain!' When he raised the curtain, a boy appeared and came and sat on the Imam's lap. The boy seemed to be at age eight to ten; with a sparkling forehead and white complexion, big black piercing eyes, and two broad shoulders. He had a black mole on his right cheek, and his hair was over his shoulders. He sat on the knee of his father Abu Muhammad al-\u02c8Askar\u012b. Then, Imam \u02c8Askar\u012b said to me, 'This is your master. \u201d<\/em>10<\/a><\/p>\n

He is handsome and brunet fair complexioned; his face is radiant like a shining star. 13<\/a> According to some narrations, he like the Prophet (May Allah convey His salutations and greetings to him and his household), has a reddish-white complexion14<\/a> because the Arab complexion is a mixture of red and white.

Imam Mahdi's forehead is broad and luminous,18<\/a> and there is a mark of constant prostration on his forehead19<\/a> (the use of the word \u201cmark\u201d in the hadiths, instead of \u201cmole,\u201d suggests that the mark will be lighter in color than a mole).<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Another sign is that the passage of time will not render him old, by the will of Allah, till such time that his life would end; so that the power of God may be known, and also there is a Divine examination for people; because of this, some believers turn away from Imam Mahdi (p. b. u. h). 51<\/a><\/p>\n
