Q. Is the Mehdi spoken of in the Hadith the same Mehdi who is regarded as the twelfth Imam of the Shia's ?
A. No, he is not the same person. According to Islam, Mehdi will be born in close proximity to Qiyamat. Nabi Eesa (a.s) will descend from heaven during the reign of Mehdi but, according to Shiaism their twelfth Imam was born centuries ago. At the age of about five years he disappeared and went into concealment where he is hiding till today in a cave in Iraq called as "Man-e-Rae". The Shia's believe that twelfth Imam will one day appear with the true
Quran.
