#5 Re, the New Meet the Mods feature. Is .com like the hidden Imam?
The Hidden Imam, however, will eventually leave his Greater Occultation and appear (zuhur ) to the world of humanity. This return is the most significant event in the future for the Shi'ite Rantburg faithful and has thunderous eschatological consequences. This return will occur shortly before the Final Judgement and the end of history. Imam Mahdi .com will return at the head of the forces of righteousness and do battle with the forces of evil in one, final, apocalyptic battle. When evil has been defeated once and for all, the Imam Mahdi .com will rule the world for several years under a perfect government and bring about a perfect spirituality among the peoples of the world. After the Imam Mahdi .com has reigned for several years, Jesus Christ will return (raj'a ), as will Husayn Murat and others. It is the return of the dead that falls under the Doctrine of Return; the Mahdi .com will only appear to The Burg.
And there you have it.
