Allah says:-
(S5-A54) These Quranic verses are for the Mahdavi people. Allah says "O’
people who believe
(In Allah) who so of you turn back from his faith soon Allah will
bring a people whom He holds
dear and who hold dear Him; humble towards believers (Momin) and stern towards
disbelievers;
striving in the way of Allah and fearing not the blame of the blamers such is the grace of
Allah
which He will bestow on whom He pleases and Allah is the embracing all knowing"
After Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am and in future when the believers will turn from their faith at that time Allah has promised to bring people and had described their qualities in these verses. All those qualities which are mentioned are found among Mahdavi people. Therefore eight hundred years after Nabi Kareem Sal'am, Allah has brought the people as promised in the said Quranic verses, Hzt. MAHDI MAUOOD ALAIHIS SALAM himself had said that this humble servant (Mahdi Alae-his Salam) was sent (to the world) when the faith was left only among the Majzub (people who are absorbed in the love of Allah and are treated as insane). Although thousands of so called God fearing and pious, highly educated and saintly people were present, all of them, instead of seeking Allah, which is the spirit of religion and faith became the seekers of worldly wealth and pleasures. Thus as per the Holy verses it is the turning from the religion. Hence those scholars and the kings etc. who opposed Hzt. SYED MOHAMMAD MAHDI MAUOOD ALAIHIS SALAM instead of having faith in him had a reason that as soon as they believe in him, they will have to leave (give up) gold, jewels, wealth and all luxuries of life and kingdom and would have to become true seekers of Allah compulsorily. Therefore how can the lovers of worldly pleasures leave it and have faith in MAHDI MAUOOD ALAHIS SALAM? But as per the Quranic verses, those on whom Allah showered His mercy, believed him. According to Allah this is also strange relevancy that since early days Mahadavi people who had relinquished the worldly desire are called lovers of Allah. And as per sayings of God they are very kind on Momins (believers) and stern towards disblievers. They cheer fully sacrifice their lives in the path of Allah without any hesitation. They consider their martyrdom a great bliss to them. They fight hard against their (Nafs) selfish motives. No Mahdavi is afraid of any censure of any one nor conceals his faith.
Hadees Shareef:-
Hzt. NABI KAREEM SAL'AM said that “ I know the people who are in my position.
Sahaba Raz. asked him how was it possible when you are the last among the prophets and
no prophet will be sent after you. He said that they were not prophets but they are nearer
to
Allah in position that they may be counted in the rank of prophets and they love Allah.
(Tafseer Kabeer Book II)
Allah says:-
(S49-A50) And fought in the path of Allah with their wealth and their lives and they are
right.
Important. This Holy verse is also about the Mahdavi people. It is because there are thousands of incidents which prove that thousands of Mahdavis have laid down their lives or were killed in the path of Allah. And at the time of extermination from their houses or at the time of relinquishment of the world (Tark-e-Duniya) they relinquish all the worldly belongings with pleasures willingly in search of the Truth (Haq). They are proving to be the true people as described by Allah in these Quranic Verses:-
(S2-A273) Charity is for those who have relinquished the world (Faqeer) and are
confined to the
way of God. They do not move in the world. The ignorant, due to their habit of not asking
for
alms, think that they are rich. They can be recognised from their faces.
Important. As per the orders of MAHDI MAUOOD ALAHIS SALAM begging is forbidden (Haram) and it amounts to breaking the very concept of Tark-e-Duniya and the dignity of the dependence on Allah. Even today no Mahdavi ever begs anybody, and on account of hard worship, trust in Allah retreat (uzlat) and repeating God’s name (Zikr) etc. their faces are bright with Divine light and it is easy to see and recognise them among thousands of people. Therefore this Holy Ayat (Verse) without any interpretation very clearly applies to the conditions and actions of the saints of MAHDAVI community. Except the saints (Fakir) of this group, no other group had such dependance on Allah with these qualities.
In addition to the verses of the Holy Quran there are hundreds of true traditions (Hadees) about the birth and existence of Hzt. Mahdi-e-Mauood. Which have reached the status of continuity (Tawatur). Therefore Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am said the birth of MAHDI-E-MAUOOD is the necessity of the religion and “until and unless MAHDI is born, the Dooms Day will not occur”, and if the world reaches its last day, God will extend that day till such a person is born, who belongs to my family and bear my name and his parents should bear my parents name too (Sunane Abu Dawood)
"And how can be my ummah ruined when I stand at the beginning, Jesus Christ at the end and MAHDI from my AHLE BAITH (Family) is in the middle of it." (Mishkathe Shareef)
"And Mahdi is the KHALIFA of Allah. And the order given by MAHDI MAUOOD would be the order of Allah His prophet, And that MAHDI belongs to me, he will follow my foot steps and commit no faults and MAHDI will be innocent and never commit mistakes (Masoom Anil Khata)"
And “ MAHDI will protect the 'ummah from ruin “ and 'make BAYATH (cavanent) with him. No matter you have to even pass over the snow. (Ibne Maja)
Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am expressed the issue of the advent of Mahdi as a message about unseen and a miracle and the things are bound to happened which are mentioned like a forecast by the Prophet Sal'am
