187/7. They ask you about the Hour (Day of Resurrection): "When will be its appointed time?" Say: "The knowledge thereof is only with my Lord. None can reveal its time but He. Heavy is its burden through the heavens and the earth. It shall not come upon you except all of a sudden." They ask you as if you have a good knowledge of it. Say: "The knowledge thereof is only with Allah but most of mankind not believe."
188/7. Say (O Muhammad ): "I possess no power of benefit or hurt to myself except as AllĮբh wills. If I had the knowledge of the Ghaib (unseen), I should have secured for myself an abundance of wealth, and no evil should have touched me. I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings unto people who believe."
77/16. And to Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. And the matter of the Hour is not but as a twinkling of the eye, or even nearer. Truly! Allah is Able to do all things.
Imam Mehdi (ie the 12th imam) Dont believe in as its not in the quran it is very persude in the Shiite faith but remeber the Quran is what makes a muslim not Haddiths and in the Quran EXPLICITLY it clearly mentions to all muslims not to split up the religions into sects according to believes either through Haddiths or political reasons or any reason for that matter, there is no such thing as shiite, sunni or any other muslim there is only islam and its practisers are ‘muslims’ the dajjal is mentioned in very many haddiths again it is not in the Quran and for good reason. Haddiths practise Sunnah according to MAN they are not divine scripure like The Holy Quran. The Quran is a flawless book whos name is being corrupted by bad practise and false beliefs.
The Qur’an is undoubtedly first and foremost.
See the pages of Quran for yourself and see if you can find a single word on Dajjal and Imam Mehdi from the Quran. It’s all from the man-written Hadith.
Dajjal & Imam Mehdi story commonly accepted by both Sunnis and Shiias.
The concept that one day Imam Mahdi will come and fight against "Dejaal" is not only a very popular concept (especially in Asia) but got it as the part of "Aimaan". Though Quran has not any evidence about but people have made this concept a big part of their religious life.
First of all, the topic going to discuss here is not the matter of DEEN (part of Aimaan) and secondly keep in mind that every religious community has this concept. All the communities had been waiting for some one that will come and fill the land with justice. Christen, Jews, Hindus, Muslim even other small communities all are waiting for some one. Why they all are waiting for some one? The reason is, the same thinking that every nation has "some one will come and their nation will rule the world"
Being a Muslim we are also waiting but with a little change, that we are waiting for two persons instead of one, "Hazrat Eesah and Imam Mahdi". Although Quran has not any indication of these things but unfortunately the concept has been made our "Aiman". The base of Imam Mahdi concept is about 21 Ahadith in "Tirmazi, Abu Dawood, Ibn-a-Maaja" and some in other lower category books of Ahadith.
The concept relate to "Hazrat Eesah" is typically christens concept and Muslim got it from there, make a little change and adopt. The concept relates to "Imam Mahdi" is typically "shiyaa" concept, a null and bud story.
Mohammad bin Hasan Askari bin Ali naqi bin Mohammad Taqi bin Ali Raza bin Moosa kazim bin Jafar Sadiq bin Mohammad Baqir bin Ali (zain ul aabadin) bin Husain bin Ali (rt), said birth 255 hijri and death????????? The 12th Imam of shiyaas called Imam Mahdi that was disappeared in a cage named "serman raa" when He was 6 year old and, according to the story, will appear at the time of "Dejaal", will fight against, defeat him and fill the land in justice.
In early era of Islam Muslim community had the different thinking about coming Imam Mahdi & Maseh (as) a group believed and others not.
Ibn-a-Hazam (5th hijri) said
When an "ummat" degraded by its own vulgar and ill-mannered way of life
waits for its good time and make itself satisfied that some one will come and
they would get the better position again. So the "Eesai" has the concept of becoming Hazat Eesah and "shiyaas" are waiting for their 12th imam called Imam Mahdi.
(Al malal o al nahal)
It means at that time only Shiyaa had the concept that Imam Mahdi will come one day, but with the passage of time it is penetrated in all Muslims. And about Maseh Ibn-a-Hazam said
There is no prophet after Mohammad (pbuh) and about Maseh (rt)
Muslims have different opinion i.e. will He come or not?
(marati'bul ajmah)
Allama Iqbal said
As I think the concept of Mahdi, Maseh and Mujaddad is completely Iranian and "Ajmi" perception. This concept has not any link with Quran, Islam and Arabic perceptions.
(Iqbal Nama part 2, Tashkeel-a-jadeed alahiyaat-a-islam, Traitors of islam)
Quran do not provide any positive or negative evidence for this perception, only Ahadith point out this concept so I come to the topic related Ahadith. As I calculated all, nearly, the "Ravees" of topic related Ahadith had criticized by knowledge full persons (Muhaddaseen) like Ibn-a-Hajar, Hafiz Zahbee etc, the text of Ahadith is too complex, most of the Ahadith are incomplete, and secondly it is common thinking that this event will be happened near judgment day but all these Ahadith do not indicate such things (even in a single hadith) I am surprising where from the muslims got it as sign of judgment day.
In Tirmazi (4 ahadith)
1 - Abaid bin asbaat koofi, Asbaat bin mohammd koofi, Sufiyaan soori koofi,
Asim bin bahdilla koofi, Zer bin jaish koofi, Abdullah bin masood (rt)

Becoming of Imaam Mahdi looks as a sign of judgment day, but Quran says it's a hidden matter and there is not even a single sign that indicate that judgment day is near. It could be happened at any time, may after one minute or thousands of years.
The following will give a detailed explanation on how the Imam Mahdi prophecy found in some Hadith is infact a lie. If proven to be a lie, this would conclude that Mirza sahib's claim to be Imam Mahdi would also be a lie.
First of all we know very well that their is no mention or prophecy contained within the Quran which clearly portrays the coming of a Imam Mahdi.
Second, we also know that Hadith were compiled 200 years after the sad demise of our beloved prophet Mohammed (s). During the time period in which Hadith were being collected, we also know that many sects had already formed. These sects tried to influence their beleifs within the collected writings of Hadith. Let us provide evidence.
The following Hadith was narrated in Sahih-Muslim, one of the most authentic collections of Hadith. The narration is of the popular Farewell Khutba given by the prophet Mohammed (s) before his sad demise.
"I leave with you Quran and Ahlul Bayt, if you follow these two, you will never go astray."
(Sahih Muslim 44, Number 2408; Ibn Hanbal 4/366; Darimi, Number 3319.)
Sunnis including Ahmadis always portray the Hadith which would read otherwise
"I leave with you the Quran and my Sunnah, if you follow these two, you will never go astray"
Now clearly with reading the words Ahlul Bayt (People of the House), one would easily find Shia influence on this Hadith, knowing that Shia believe in the high status of the Ahlul Bayt; OR one is ready to accept that that the last sermon did indeed want us to follow the Ahlul Bayt and not the Sunnah, which would then conclude that the Shia are right, and MGA's claim must have been false regardless because MGA denied the imammah of the Ahlul Bayt and Shia regime.
I will provide more evidence on how other sects, and specifically the Shia had influence on the narrations and collections of Sunni Hadith, but before I do so, we must understand the idea of Imam Mahdi.
We already know that the Mahdi prophecy is no where to be found in the Quran, thus the promise from Allah (swt) Himself does not exist. Whats more interesting is that Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim too rejected the idea about the coming of an Imam Mahdi, as there is no Hadith found in any of these books about the coming of an Imam Mahdi, and these two books are considered to be the two most authentic books of Hadith. Even the Lahori Ahmadi website confirms:
"The reports about Messiah have been accepted by all the great authorities of Hadith, whereas the reports relating to Mahdi have been rejected not only by Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, but also by many eminent scholars of Hadith. There is no doubt that all these reports have been greatly tampered with for various reasons, so much so, that even those who believe in the coming of Mahdi only accept the fundamental fact of his advent."
www.aaiil.org/text/books/...ahdi.shtml
The Lahori Ahmadi party clearly admits to the weakness in these Hadith concerning Imam Mahdi, and yet wants to create excuses that "there must have been a reason" why both parties agreed to some extent why this person would come. Yet, in reality the only reason the Sunnis believe in the coming of the Imam Mahdi is because of the narrations given in some unauthentic Sunni Hadith. Yet the Sunnis do not realize that such Hadith were influenced by the Shia party. Here is some proof.
Ahmadis know very well the prophecy contained in Dar-Qutni about the two sets of eclipses that would take place. The facts however about this Hadith are not recognized by Ahmadis!
"Imam Ali bin Umar Dar-e-Qutni states in his collection: My Ustaad Abu Saeed Istakhri narrates from his Ustaad Muhammad bin Abdullah, who narrates from his Ustaad Ubaid bin Yaeesh, and he narrates from Yunus bin Bukair, and he from Amar bin Shamir, and he from Jaabir who narrates that Muhammad bin Ali said."
Now first and foremost, the chain of narration concludes that this is a statement of Muhammad bin Ali and not of prophet Mohammed (s)! It should be noted that Muhammad bin Ali is the great-grandson of Imam Ali (ra), and thus the statement comes from Muhammad bin Ali who belonged to the ahlul bayt and honored by the Shia regime.
Furthermore it is also narrated by Amar bin Shamir who comes as one of the beginners in the chain of narrations. Who is Amar bin Shamir?
Quote:
Allama Zhahabi, a great authority on hadith has the following entry in his famous critique, Meezaanul I'tidaal:
Amar bin Shamir: A Shia from Kufa. This man is a Shia who insults the Sahaba, and fabricates narrations in the name of authentic Ulema. Imam Bukhari says: His narrations are rejected. Yahya says: His narrations should not be recorded. Suleimani says: This Amar used to fabricate narrations for the Shias. Imam Nasaai says: His narrations have been discarded. (Meezaanul I'tidaal vol. P.268)
Allama Ibni Hajar quotes the following in his work, Lisaanul Meezaan: Ibni Abi Haatim says: I asked my father(Abu Haatim) about him (Amar bin Shamir), and he replied: His ahadeeth are totally rejected, a weak narrator, a person one should never get involved with. The Muhadditheen have forsaken him. Abu Abdullah Haakim (a high ranking authority on hadith) states: He has many fabrications narrated from Jabir Ju?afi, and no-one else besides him (Amar bin Shamir) narrate these blatant fabrications from Jabir. (Lisaanul Meezaan vol. P. 367)
Infact Imam Dar Qutni HIMSELF deemed Jaabir and Amar bin Shamir as unreliable ! "Both are unreliable narrators. Their narrations are not admissible as proof to substantiate any claim." (Dare Qutni vol.2 p.65)
References: www.central-mosque.com/fiqh/mahdi.htm
Clearly we reach two conclusions from this evidence. One, that the narrators are Shia, and two that as Shia they specifically awaited the return of their 12th Imam, Imam Muhammad Mehdi.
See Websites: www.shia.org/mehdi.htmlht...mehdi.html : www.imammehdi.org
We know that the Shia regime follow what they know as the 12 Imams of the Ahlul Bayt. Imam Muhammed Mehdi was the son of the 11th Imam, Imam Hasan Askari. Apparently the very young Imam Mehdi disappeared and was said by the Shia to return at the end of times along with Isa.
No Sunni Muslim believed in the coming of Imam Mehdi but until the narrations were compiled. The collections were infact compiled after the so called disappearence of Imam Mehdi. Here are the descriptions of the Imam Mehdi as narrated in Tirmidhi:
1. Mahdi is going to come in the last days to make a universal Government,
2. Mahdi is from the Ahlul-Bayt of Prophet,
3. Mahdi is from the children of Fatimah (AS), the daughter of Prophet,
4. Mahdi is different than Jesus (the messiah),
5. Jesus will be one of the followers of Imam Mahdi and prays behind him.
The last one in particular seems to be controversial simply because the Shia believe that the 12 Imams were superior to all Israelite prophets, and equal in status to prophet Mohammed (s). To say that Jesus would pray behind Mehdi is blasphemy in itself.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad does not fulfill much of any of the Imam Mahdi prophecies! Including:
The Messenger of Allah said: "Al-Mahdi is one of the children of Fatimah (the Prophet's daughter)."
(Sunni reference: Sunan Ibn Majah, V2, Tradition #4086)
"The Messenger of Allah said: "The world will not perish until a man among the A appears whose name matches my name."
(Sunni reference: Sahih Tirmidhi, V9, P74)
MGA is claimed to be persian and indian, NOT ARAB.
"All looked towards his son Hasan and said: A person will be born from his seed whose name will be the name of your Prophet and he will resemble him in disposition but not in outward form." [Sunan Abu Dawud, p. 241].
MGA was not a son of Fatimah or Hasan. MGA is not from among the ahlul bayt!
There are many more Hadith similar to this which have nothing to do with MGA and his claims. Maybe MGA should have studied the facts before making his claim!
Conclusion: The entire concept of Imam Mahdi is derived from the Shia regime who believed in the coming of this individual. The Shia helped to insert such beleifs within the writings of Sunni Hadith.
