Imam Mahdi

by Fereshteh from Tehran

I know I couldn`t describe his qualities as they worth.

In the name of God

My hero is Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him). He is the twelfth Imam of Muslim “Shia”. His nickname is Ghaem (a person who stands for people), Hojat (a person who is a symbol) and Zaman (a person who is present). He was born on Friday night in Samera (in Iraq). His father was the eleventh Imam & his mother was a princess of Rome.

When his father passed away, he was just 5 years old but he was the best for Imamat( sit in his place). He was only a child but he knew many things. He had a gift from God: ”A vast knowledge” and he knew the answers to all of the questions. He is not a normal person and he is created for the guidance of mankind.

He is still alive after about 1200 years, but he is hidden from eyes and he will appear when the human being feels the need. This will happen when people want it from their heart! I thought a lot about who my hero is. But I could not just find anyone else except “Imam Mahdi” (peace be upon him)

He is my hero because he is never afraid of anything and anybody. He is different from the other people and the only one who can change my world & my thoughts. I believe anybody who knows Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) could find his hero in him and couldn`t compare the other heroes with him.
