Imam Mahdi, Antichrist Or A Promised Saviour Besides Jesus Christ?

Purpose: In this article, we discussed whether Imam Mahdi is an Antichrist or a Promised Saviour Besides Jesus Christ and other topics. This article attempts to deal with the concepts "Occultation", "Imamat", "Mahdaviat", "Mahdism" and Who is Antichrist that prophesied both in Islam and Christianity. Also, this research was conducted to answer and clarify three questions that stated in the Introduction section. Methods: We performed our methods in 4 stages: Identifying studies, Selection of Studies, Collating Studies, Reporting results. Results: One of the statements of those who say that Imam Mahdi is the Antichrist is that he is not included in other religious books at all and his name is not mentioned in the Quran and the Muslims forcibly accepted him as their Messiah, but in response to these people, it is not the Muslims who are forcibly introducing the Imam Mahdi as a savior, but vice versa. The Quran contains many verses that mention Imam Mahdi. Not only the Quran, but also other religious books mention him, even with the titles and names mentioned in the Qur'an. Conclusion: The coming of Imam Mahdi and Jesus Christ is one of the sure promises of God, and these two saviors will appear with God's help and the will of the people. They fill the earth with justice and establish the government of God. We hope this article will take an important step in acquainting people with Imam Mahdi and Jesus Christ and paving the ground for their reappearance.

研究目的：本文探讨了伊玛目马赫迪（Imam Mahdi）是否为敌基督（Antichrist），抑或是继耶稣基督之外的应许救主，同时还涉及其他相关议题。本文旨在阐释隐遁（Occultation）、伊玛目教义（Imamat）、马赫迪教义（Mahdaviat）、马赫迪主义（Mahdism），以及伊斯兰教与基督教均有预言的敌基督身份等概念。此外，本研究旨在解答并厘清引言部分提出的三个核心问题。研究方法：本研究按四个阶段开展：文献识别、文献筛选、文献整理、结果汇报。研究结果：部分观点认为伊玛目马赫迪即为敌基督，其依据是该人物未见于其他宗教典籍，《古兰经》（Quran）中也未提及他的名字，且穆斯林是被迫将其奉为弥赛亚。对此，我们的回应是：并非穆斯林强迫将伊玛目马赫迪塑造成救主，事实恰恰相反。《古兰经》中存在大量提及伊玛目马赫迪的经文；不仅如此，其他宗教典籍也对其有所记载，甚至使用了《古兰经》中出现的称谓与名号。研究结论：伊玛目马赫迪与耶稣基督的降临是上帝确凿无疑的应许之一，这两位救主将在上帝的佑助与民众的意愿下显现于世。他们将以正义充盈大地，建立上帝的统治。本文期望能为大众了解伊玛目马赫迪与耶稣基督迈出重要一步，并为二者的复临铺平道路。
