SunniDocumentation on Imam al-Mahdi (as) Special specifications of Imam al-Mahdi (as) There is no doubt that Sunni scholars believe that Allah can be seen (at least in Hereafter). To prove that it is logically wrong, I was using a counter argument. That was: If Sunnis believe that Allah can be seen, then they have to admit that Allah has Shiatssay that Imam must be appointed by God; that appointment may be known through the declaration of the Prophet or the preceding Imam. The Sunni scholars say that Imam (or Caliph, as they prefer to say) can be either elected, or nominated by the preceding Caliph, or selected by a committee, or may gain the power through a military coup (as UnlikeSunni Islam, however, the belief in Mahdi of the lineage of the prophet is central to Shia Islam, in general, and to Twelver Shia, in particular, where Mahdi is identified with the twelfth Imam. Distinctive to Shia is also the doctrine of occultation or the temporary absence of Mahdi. ImamMahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance), was born on 15th of shaban in the city of samera and he is now alive. he sees us, know us, in this time of occultation, even if people can see him, mostly they can't know him. in his occultation, people benefit from him like there benefit of sun behind cloud. بِسْمِاللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ A Sunni Brother mentioned that the Caliphate of Abu Bakr is the Consensus of scholars (Ijma'). It is incumbent upon Muslims to accept the Ijma'. First I would like to point out that we also believe that Ijma'a is binding. But, my brother, how can Sunni scholars make Ijma'a on something that the Prophet and Hisfollowers will be of the Jews and Israelites, for he is the king of the Jews. He is the king of all the world, so whoever accepts true Islam, he will come under his fold, whether they were Sunnis, Jews, Christians or any other religion. 4.
