Muhammad al-Mahdi quotes

Muhammad al-Mahdi is regarded as the twelfth and final Imam in Twelver Shia Islam. Believed by his followers to have gone into occultation, his awaited return is central to Shi'a eschatology. He is expected to reappear as the Mahdi, bringing justice and peace to the world. Here are 15 of his quotes:
