خلاصة:
In the Quran, there are many verses that have been revealed regarding Hazrat Mahdi (peace be upon him) and his global uprising. These are verses that many commentators have applied to Imam Mahdi (as), whose appearance is promised at the end of times. Whenever a matter is narrated mutawatir (massively transmitted) from the Prophet (pbuh), it must inevitably be accepted that the Wise Quran has not left it entirely unaddressed, even if our intellects cannot easily grasp it; therefore, extracting this belief from the blessed verses is the responsibility of someone who understands the Quranic truths with an appropriate understanding. There is no doubt that according to the text of the noble Hadith al-Thaqalayn, which is mutawatir among all Muslims, the Ahl al-Bayt (as) are the equal and peer of the Quran. For this reason, the verses that they have applied to the appearance of Mahdi (as) should be considered a Quranic evidence for the idea of Mahdism. In this regard, many hadiths have been narrated from the Imams (as) in which many verses are applied to Hazrat Mahdi (as) and topics related to him. Mahdism is presented as one of the fundamental principles of human society. This principle is reflected in religions and intellectual schools in accordance with the culture of that society. This discourse underwent transformations during the process of Islamic history, which created many problems in the way of peaceful coexistence of Islamic sects in subsequent centuries; therefore, it is necessary to take up the pen in this field and extract Mahdi belief from the primary sources of Islamic history. In this article, a descriptive-exploratory approach and a library-based method have been used to refer to the primary sources of Islamic history. The findings show that the scholars of great religions hold the belief that Hazrat Mahdi (aj) was born, became absent after a period of time, and is currently undergoing occultation, and will later appear and establish a government based on justice.

Problem Statement Mahdaviyat and the belief in the appearance of a savior who, at the end of times, will establish a global government and fill the earth with justice and equity, is one of the fundamental principles of belief for human societies and monotheistic religions, especially Muslims.
For instance, in Buddhism, it is referred to as the fifth "Bodhisattva"; in Hinduism, as the tenth "Avatar"; in Zoroastrianism, as "Saoshyant"; in Jewish texts, he is called "Mashiach"; and in Christianity, he is called "the Messiah": however, the holy religion of Islam, as the final healing version for human society among all other religions, has emphasized this matter more extensively and has described the characteristics, signs of appearance, conditions of appearance, and personality traits of the Promised One in many verses and traditions, both explicitly and implicitly.
Therefore, belief in the Mahdi means believing in the coming of the dispenser of justice who will come at the end of times, establish a global government, and make the religion of Islam universal.
Essentially, among Muslims and other followers of different religions and nations, there is no fundamental disagreement regarding the belief in the appearance of a savior at the end of times, although there are differences regarding its specific manifestation between Muslims and others; however, the entire Islamic Ummah believes that his blessed name is "Muhammad" 1 and his title is "Mahdi.
