THE VIEW OF DIVINE RELIGIONS ABOUT MAHDISM

[Taqavi]

What is the view of divine religions about Mahdism?

 

Belief in the Savior is one of the most fundamental beliefs of heavenly religions and all people who follow these religions believe in it. The emergence of the world's great savior is also mentioned in the scriptures of the Psalms,^[1] Torah,^[2] Gospel,^[3] and even the books of the Hindus, Zoroastrians, and Brahmins.^[4] Zoroastrians know him as "Sushiyans" or "Sushiyant".^[5] Christians know him as "Promised Messiah" and Jews as "Messiah".

If we were to describe the belief in the Savior among the Abrahamic religions, we would have to say: Christianity and Islam believe that one day the Savior will appear, and a bright future will be set for humanity.

Based on ancient religious belief, Jews believe that a king from David's generation called "Messiah" will establish the eternal rule of God on earth. Jews, unlike some religions who have traced their golden age in the past, are focused on their future and believe that they will rule over all mankind in the future, and a golden age awaits them.

The "Talmud" has repeatedly referred to the Savior by the name "Messiah" and his mission, and God's plan for the salvation of mankind will be carried out through the "Messiah".^[6]
