Caliphate subsisted for thirty years. After that lordship and monarchy took its place. Besides, these
people mentioned above were not free of mistakes (M’asoom-an-il-khata). Except Imam Mahdi AS , all the
descendants of Fatima (daughter of Prophet Muhammad SAS ) are not innocent. It is not necessary for an
Imam to be the best (afzal) among his contemporaries (except for Imam Mahdi AS , who is innocent).
The companions of Prophet Muhammad SAS should always be mentioned with respect and should be
respectfully talked about. Yazid is undoubtedly a sinner.
Persons, whom Prophet Muhammad SAS gave the glad tidings of an abode in Paradise, are truly the
people of the Paradise.
We also believe that Imam Mahdi AS , who is one of the Caliphs (Vice-regents) of Allah, came and
went away (died). He was not a mujtahid (religious director). He was directly taught by Allah. He is
innocent (m’asoom-an-il-khata) – free of mistakes. He claimed to be Mahdi Mau’ood (the Promised
Mahdi) after Allah commanded him to do so. Following him is obligatory. The reason is that he is a
Caliph of Allah. Any Hadith that contradicts the word of Imam Mahdi AS is void. In the light of the sayings
of mujtahideen, he is ghair-muqallid (one who does not follow the Imams of the Four Schools of Fiqh).
He is the seal of the vilayat-e-Muhammadia (Muhammadan Sainthood) and the exponent of the secrets
of the Muhammadan Reality (Israr-e-Haqiqat-e-Muhammadia). This in fact is his mission. He is the
follower of the laws of Shar’iat of Prophet Muhammad SAS . Under his orders to see Allah is obligatory and
a person who is desirous of seeing Allah is the (true) believer (momin).
To be cut off from the world, companionship of the truthful and seclusion, and all matters,
discussed in the foregoing pages, are obligatory in the light of the commandments of Imam Mahdi AS .
To say one’s prayers under the leadership (imamat) of person who has not reposed faith in Syed
Muhammad AS being the Imam Mahdi is not permitted.
In his character, Imam Mahdi AS is equal to Prophet Muhammad SAS , except for Prophethood
(nubuwwat) and messenger-ship (risalat). Imam Mahdi AS was not a Prophet (Nabi) or Messenger (rasul)
of Allah. Both Prophethood and Messengership ended with Prophet Muhammad SAS . As the vice-regent
of Allah, Imam Mahdi AS is better (afzal) than Abu Bakr Siddiq RZ , the first Caliph of Prophet
Muhammad SAS .
If a tradition of the Prophet SAS is in consonance with the word and deed of Imam Mahdi AS , it is
correct. Otherwise, it is liable to be rejected. Imam Mahdi AS is innocent (Ma’soom) because he is a viceregent
of Allah. Imam Mahdi’s AS word and deed are not superseded on being contrary to the tradition of
the Prophet SAS . (All these details have been given in Aqida Sharifa.)
Imam Mahdi’s AS Caliphs are five in number. They are Syed Mahmood Sani-e-Mahdi RZ , Syed
Khundmir Siddiq-e-Vilayat RZ , Shah Ne’mat RZ , Shah Nizam RZ and Shah Dilawar RZ , in that order.
We believe that only those who have been given the glad tidings (bisharat) by Imam Mahdi AS get an
abode in Paradise.
If one fails to recite the opening Sura, Fatihah, of Quran in his prayers, the prayer is not correct
even if one is saying his prayers under the leadership of an imam.
One should not raise his hands after the obligatory prayers (farz namaz) in seeking blessings,
(because this deed is not correct). There is no commandment to raise one’s hands in this way in the
traditions of the Prophet SAS .
