Read this Hadees Mubarak of Sayyadi Rasul Allah !! The term Mehdi is used in plural -- for all Khulfa e Rashideen ! Every Khalifa e Rashid is a "Mehdi" of his time... !

Rasul Allah (sm) has informed us.

The last Mehdi will come when Khilafat ala Minhaj un Nubuwwat will be re-established in the end times but only Allah knows his secret. Both Shias and Sunnis are confused and divided on the concept of Mehdi... but fight to kill each other... Astaghfurullah !!

Iqbal drew his concept of Mehdi from this Hadees Mubarak ! The revivalist, rightly guided Mujaddid of the time who would lead the Ummah in times of crisis would be the "Mehdi" of that time... the rightly guided leader !! Thats all it is...

What is the sect of the Prophet of Islam Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm)???? What is the sect of first 4 righteous Caliphs?? Shia or Sunni??

Every army fighting in ME is relying on religious narrative - Christian/Jewish Zionists waiting for Messiah, Shias & Sunnis for Mehdi..

You cannot define this latest Crusade in simple narrative - It has deep religious roots but oil, gas, pipelines & land also tag along!
The tragedy is that a bloody Shia-Sunni sectarian war is raging on expected "Mehdi" but no one knows his whereabouts or time of arrival. And when the Mehdi will come eventually, still Shias & Sunnis will fight yet again, as both expect him to be from their sect. He wont be :-)

In this frenzied, fanatic mindset of extreme positions, both Shias & Sunni hardliners fail to see that the status of Mehdi is above sect!
What is the sect of the Prophet of Islam Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm)???? What is the sect of first 4 righteous Caliphs?? Shia or Sunni??

Shias will fight against Iman Mehdi. Yes, they will. Because he will NOT be a typical Shia of today. Same crisis will be faced by Sunnis too.

As far as Khawarij are concerned, they are neither Shias NOT Sunnis. ISIS, TTP are NOT Sunnis. But these Khawarij benefit in this sect war. Khawarij & Jews are both enemies of Shias & Sunnis. But both sects are exhausting their energies in fighting each other.This is real tragedy.

Iqbal is the only Muslim thinker, visionary who have properly understood the complex soul of the phenomenon of Mehdi. Everyone else is confused. Iqbal's understanding of "Mehdi" is stunning, dynamic, full of action, struggle & clarity of vision. It is NOT confused, vague or foggy. You can imagine the confusion within Shia doctrine of Mehdi that once Shias kept horses ready outside a cave for 300 years, waiting for him. Even now, the war frenzy in Syria & Yemen has again ignited the euphoria in Shias that the promised Mehdi is about to emerge, creating chaos.
"The one who is inspired first by God to lead the revival of the Ummah in darkest of times against heaviest of odds,will be the Mehdi" Iqbal

According to Iqbal, instead of waiting for the promised Mehdi, one should rise and become the "Mehdi" of the time to revive the dead Ummah. Like the promised day of judgement, it will come indeed, but for a man, his day of judgement is his death for which he must act NOW.

Iqbal has drawn his concept of "Mehdi" from the Hadees of the Prophet, where the first rightly guided caliphs have also been called "Mehdis"

Pakistan must rise above sectarian and biased prejudices and act as elder brother of the Ummah !!

There is NO one sane in Pakistani media or politics now. Saudi lobby led by the PM himself is desperate to protect their business investments in Saudia. The strong Shia lobby in Pak media & politics is fully on the side of Iran, abusing accusing and provoking the Saudi lobby, creating more friction and venom within both..

Both lobbies need a strong beating at the hands of army and patriots. Pakistan must rise above sectarian and biased prejudices and act as elder brother of the Ummah !!

Israel has NOT lost a single soldier & 3 million Muslims have been slaughtered in sectarian wars..

I have NOT found a single politician, media anchor or analyst who has grasped this complex scenario. All in darkness! pic.twitter.com/6VJSjuy0WM

For Iran, Turkey & Saudi Arabia - and their die hard blind followers on media - calm down for God sake! None of you understand it right. First criteria of having clear vision is neutrality & concern for the Ummah, NOT biased sectarian or nationalistic view. All fail this test. Without any doubt, I have found most harsh & dangerous position taken by Wahabi Saudis & Shia Iranis. Turks are willing to Learn & change.

It is a complex sectarian & ethnic triangle which is locked into confrontation - Wahabi Arabs, Hanafi Turks, Shia Persians! Its OUR loss! This is a fact of history that Pakistan is the only country having most brotherly, cordial & close relations with all Arabs, Turks & Iranis. Being the largest & the most strongest Muslim nation, with closest terms with all 3 combatants, it is Pakistan's natural duty to be big bro.

What options does Pakistan have? Fight Iran for Saudis? Fight Iran for Turks? Fight Saudis for Iran? Fight Iran for Turks? OR pull back all 3?? These are dangerous times for the Ummah! Israel has NOT lost a single soldier & 3 million Muslims have been slaughtered in sectarian wars.. Saudis & Turks are fighting to stop Shia expansion. Iranis blame Turks for creating another Ottoman empire & blame Saudis for killing Shias. This infighting within Arabs,Turks & Iranis could spill into Makkah & Medina. Pakistan must send a Brigade each in holy cities to protect.

The holy cities belongs to the entire Ummah, NOT Saudis. Haramain are under under administrative control of Saudis. They don't own Haramain. In the past, when tensions were high in the ME, during Arab-Persian sectarian war, there was massive bloodshed in Makkah as Iranis clashed.
