    A detailed article about the Mahdi - with hadiths and scholarly sources

    https://abuaminaelias.com/al-mahdi-promised-caliph/

    Aside from this miracle, a key sign of the true Mahdi is his sincerity, humility, and fear of Allah with respect to his authority. He does not want to be the Caliph, even though he is righteous, which is exactly what makes him qualified to lead. The Sunnah is to avoid taking leadership positions unless absolutely necessary.

    Abdur Rahman ibn Samurah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him:
    ูŠูŽุง ุนูŽุจู’ุฏูŽ ุงู„ุฑู‘ูŽุญู’ู…ูŽู†ู ุจู’ู†ูŽ ุณูŽู…ูุฑูŽุฉูŽ ู„ูŽุง ุชูŽุณู’ุฃูŽู„ู’ ุงู„ู’ุฅูู…ูŽุงุฑูŽุฉูŽ ููŽุฅูู†ู‘ูŽูƒูŽ ุฅูู†ู’ ุฃูุนู’ุทููŠุชูŽู‡ูŽุง ุนูŽู†ู’ ู…ูŽุณู’ุฃูŽู„ูŽุฉู ูˆููƒูู„ู’ุชูŽ ุฅูู„ูŽูŠู’ู‡ูŽุง ูˆูŽุฅูู†ู’ ุฃูุนู’ุทููŠุชูŽู‡ูŽุง ุนูŽู†ู’ ุบูŽูŠู’ุฑู ู…ูŽุณู’ุฃูŽู„ูŽุฉู ุฃูุนูู†ู’ุชูŽ ุนูŽู„ูŽูŠู’ู‡ูŽุง

    O Abdur Rahman, do not ask for authority. If it is given to you at your request, you will be held fully responsible for it. If it is given to you without your request, you will be helped by Allah in it.

    Hence, people who claim to be the Mahdi and ask for leadership, wealth, and other worldly gains in return are exposed as liars and impostors. The true Mahdi will not declare himself to be the Mahdi, nor will he desire to become Caliph, nor will he ask people for worldly gains. Indeed, some deviant militant groups in our time raise black flags, an alleged sign of the Mahdi which is based on weak hadith, demanding by threat of violence that we pledge allegiance to them.

    Many charlatans have appeared in the Ummah claiming to be the Mahdi, or the incarnation of Jesus, or another such saintly figure. The Prophet (sฬฃ) warned us about these impostors, especially their increased prominence near the end of time.

    Thawban reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
    ุฅูู†ูŽู‘ู‡ู ุณูŽูŠูŽูƒููˆู†ู ูููŠ ุฃูู…ูŽู‘ุชููŠ ุซูŽู„ูŽุงุซููˆู†ูŽ ูƒูŽุฐูŽู‘ุงุจููˆู†ูŽ ูƒูู„ูู‘ู‡ูู…ู’ ูŠูŽุฒู’ุนูู…ู ุฃูŽู†ูŽู‘ู‡ู ู†ูŽุจููŠูŒู‘ ูˆูŽุฃูŽู†ูŽุง ุฎูŽุงุชูŽู…ู ุงู„ู†ูŽู‘ุจููŠูู‘ูŠู†ูŽ ู„ูŽุง ู†ูŽุจููŠูŽู‘ ุจูŽุนู’ุฏููŠ

    Verily, there will be thirty liars among my nation, all of them claiming to be a prophet, but I am the seal of the prophets. There is no prophet after me.

    There will be impostors near the end of time, liars who will bring narrations you have never heard, neither you nor your fathers. Beware, lest they misguide you and afflict you with trials.

    Men will appear near the end of time who deceive the world with religion, confusing the people. Their skin is as soft as sheep, their words are sweeter than sugar, yet their hearts like the hearts of wolves.

    And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys."

    أَلَمْ تَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً ۗ وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يُجَادِلُ فِي اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَابٍ مُّنِيرٍ - 31:20

    Do you not see that Allah has made subject to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent and unapparent? But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book [from Him].

    CONTINUED:

    Thus, anyone claiming to be the Mahdi should be met with deep skepticism, as the true Mahdi will be made known not by his claims but by the miracle supporting him and the gathering of righteous believers around him in Mecca from all over the Muslim world.

    Lastly, it is important to understand that the prophecy of the Mahdi is not an excuse to do nothing, neglect our communities, or maintain a defeatist attitude, merely waiting for the Mahdi or Jesus, peace be upon them both.

    Shaykh al-Albani said:
    ู„ุง ูŠุฌูˆุฒ ู„ู„ู…ุณู„ู…ูŠู† ุฃู† ูŠุชุฑูƒูˆุง ุงู„ุนู…ู„ ู„ู„ุฅุณู„ุงู… ูˆุฅู‚ุงู…ุฉ ุฏูˆู„ุชู‡ ุนู„ู‰ ูˆุฌู‡ ุงู„ุฃุฑุถ ุงู†ุชุธุงุฑุงู‹ ู…ู†ู‡ู… ู„ุฎุฑูˆุฌ ุงู„ู…ู‡ุฏูŠ ูˆู†ุฒูˆู„ ุนูŠุณู‰ ุนู„ูŠู‡ู…ุง ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… ูŠุฃุณุงู‹ ู…ู†ู‡ู… ุฃูˆ ุชูˆู‡ู…ุงู‹ ุฃู† ุฐู„ูƒ ุบูŠุฑ ู…ู…ูƒู† ู‚ุจู„ู‡ู…ุง

    It is not permissible for Muslims to abandon working for Islam and the establishment of its state on the face of the earth, waiting for the appearance of the Mahdi and the descent of Jesus, peace be upon them both, feeling despair and imagining that is not possible before them. This notion is false.

    Source: Fiqh Ashraฬ„tฬฃ al-Saฬ„โ€™ah 311

    In sum, the Prophet (sฬฃ) told us in several narrations about the Mahdi, his signs, and what to expect near the end of time. The purpose is to prepare us for these massive world-changing events when they occur, as well as to protect us from false prophets and impostors who exploit religion for their own selfish purposes.

    Moreover, we should not become apathetic in doing good works by waiting for the Mahdi. Rather, we need to continue to build up our own faith and communities so that, when the time comes, we will respond appropriately. Upon seeing the Mahdi, the believers will need to lend him and his followers their full support, even if that means emigrating to him. If it happened tomorrow, would you be ready for it?

    May Allah keep us upon the straight path, protect us from impostors, and guide us to the company of righteous Muslim believers.

    Success comes from Allah, and Allah knows best.

          People are claiming that it's near the end of the world so I'm guessing the Mahdi must be already here.

            I would agree that it is approaching the time that the Mahdi will appear.
            Allah SWT knows best about when, though.
