False Claimants – The Mahdi will be the Last Imam

Jun 12, 2024 | Imam Mehdi (a.s)

This article is part of a series on why the Bab – Mirza Ali Mohammed Shirazi is NOT the Mahdi of Islam. Given that the number of the Holy Imams (as) is twelve – testified by Mirza Ali Mohammed Bab himself along with their names, then where is the question of the Bab being accepted as the Mahdi (the Twelfth Imam)? Perhaps the Bahais can answer this question.

The Bahais have usurped not just the position of the 12th Imam, but also the titles which are attributed to him. Refer to the books of Tafseer Kauthar, Dalelus Sabah and Sahifae Adaliyah of the Bab. In each book, the Bab takes the name of the Twelfth Imam and his titles. Bahais have wrongfully attributed these titles to the Bab and Bahaullah. (Read More)

As per the traditions of the Holy Prophet of Islam (sawa), the Mahdi will be the last in the line of Imams. This is found in 136 traditions of the Holy Prophet (sawa).

The Holy Prophet (saw) has clearly indicated that Islam will be completed only by the advent of the Mahdi and through him, Islam will spread across the world and overcome all other religions. Neither prophecy was fulfilled by the coming of Mirza Ali Mohammed Shirazi, which negates his claim of being the awaited Mahdi of Islam.
