The PEDIGREE of
Muhammad (al-Muntazar) al-MAHDI

     12th (`Hidden') Holy Imam of the SHI'ITES; `Messiah'

    External page: He became the 12th (and last) Holy Imam very young, after the deaths (murders?) of his father and grandfather. He disappeared at the site of the Holy Shrine in Samarra, but in Shi'ite legend, is still living and will return to Samarra as the Messiah before Judgement Day. (Some believed the Ayatollah Khomeini to be al-Mahdi.)


Male.
