of the age and the master of Earth before Doomsday.
He is the Savior of humanity, the Disposer of justice, the Proof of
God, the Awaited One, and the Heir of the Bible, the Torah, the Noble
Qur'an and all other heavenly books.
He is none other than the 12th and last apostle (Imam) after Prophet
Mohammed (SAW). He has many other titles, among them is also the
Guided One (Al-Mahdi in Arabic). His name is Mohammed son of Imam
Hassan Askari (as). He was born in Samarra (Iraq) on Friday 15th of
the month of Shabaanin 255 AH.
His father our 11th Imam, Imam Hassan Askari (as), was imprisoned
most of his life by Abbasid Caliphs to prevent him from having a son
whom they feared will bring the justice and equity that was promised
and remove tyranny and tyrants from the face of the earth. The 11th
Imam, Imam Hassan Askari (as) was poisoned in prison at the age of 28
in the year 260 AH by Al-Mu'tamid, the Abbasid Caliph.
The Awaited One, the 12th Imam, Imam Mahdi (as) is the only son of his
father, and he was 5 years old at the time of his father's death. His
mother was Nargis Khatoon (sa), for whom this article is being
dedicated.
Nargis Khatoon (sa), the Mother of Imam Mahdi (as) was a Roman
princess. She was the most pure offspring of the then European nations
and races. It was destined that Nargis Khatoon (sa) would go to the
streets of Baghdad to become owned by the most pure of men, the 11th
Imam, Imam Hassan Askari (as) and become the mother of the 12th Imam,
Imam Mahdi (as).
The story of how they met and joined is recorded in many history books
as well as sparsely in the scriptures of holy traditions of the
infallibles (the Prophet Mohammad (SAW), his daughter Fatima (sa) and
the twelve Imams (apostles)). It is in fact a most amazing love
storyin history.
This love story would also give a glimpse of the personality of the
offspring of their holy marriage, the master of the world, the
Anointed One, the twelfth Imam. So to know better our master, the
Awaited One Imam Mahdi (as), it would be appropriate to introduce his
mother Nargis Khatoon (sa) and the amazing love story of her marriage.
