SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from Imam Sadeq (AS) who said: When Qaem (one of the names for Imam Mahdi (AJ)) appears, he will bring new commands, new book, new method and new judicial system [1]. In another Hadith (narration), it has also been mentioned: When Qaem’s uprising happens; he will bring a new system as did the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) at the beginning of Islam with a new invitation [2[. Therefore, as it has been mentioned in the second Hadith, Imam Mahdi (AJ) will bring a system which is based completely on the system introduced by the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). But as during time many of the Prophet’s (PBUH) teachings and tradition have been forgotten and not practiced properly, people think at the time of the appearance that Imam Mahdi (AJ) will bring a new system. In fact Imam Mahdi (AJ) will re-introduce the real Islam to the world; the original Islam of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
