15th of Sha'aban - Birth of Imam al-Mahdi

Imam al-Mahdi (AS) was born on the 15th Sha'ban 255 A.H. in Samarra, Iraq. He became the Imam when his father was Martyred in 260 A.H. Imam al-Mahdi (AS) was only 5 years old when he went into ghaibat (concealment).
The Imam's ghaibat was divided into two periods: Ghaibat-us-Sughra and Ghaibat-ul-Kubra.
Ghaibat-us-Sughra means "the minor concealment." Its period was about 70 years. It began in 260 A.H. when Imam al-Mahdi (a.s) first went into concealment, and ended in 328 A.H.
During Ghaibut-us-Sughra, the Imam appointed some agents to represent him and the people. The Imam had four agents. After the death of the fourth agent, the Imam went into major concealment (Ghaibut-ul-Kubra). This was on the 10th Shawal 329 A.H.
We eagerly await the reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (AS), who will lead in the implementation of universal peace and justice in this world upon his return in accordance to will of Allah (SWT). |
