@short_stories_by_jia You are right about the Internet, but this is different ... Many thought and I included myself, that when the Mahdi (a.s) appeared the most recognized scholars would inform us, but no, on the contrary, they hide it. Unfortunately, most of them are wrong and cheat their followers, be they Muslims, Christians and Jews all over the world, only Ahlul Bayt (as) has the truth. So, how to recognize the Imam (a.s)? I invite you to investigate and see the evidence.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once said: “There will come a time upon the people when nothing will remain of Islam except its name and nothing will remain of the Quran except its words. Their mosques will be splendidly furnished but destitute of guidance. Their scholars will be the worst people under the Heaven; strife (fitna) will come from them and avert to them.” (Mishkat al-Masabih 1/91 Hadith 276)
Imam Hasan Al-Askari (as) narrated that Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (as) said,
"…As for those among the jurisprudents who are guarding themselves, safeguarding their religion, opposing their desire, and obeying their Master, then it is for the common people to imitate them…"
This so far what is preached by the scholars, but the narration actually continues until it arrives at the following words… …Some of those jurisprudents are more harmful to our Shia than the army of Yazid ibn Muawiyya was to Hussain and his companions, because the army of Yazid ibn Muawiyyah took away from Al-Hussain and his companions their lives. But those jurisprudents take away the religion from the weak of our Shia." – Tafisir Imam Al-Askari; Bihar al Anwar, Book 1; Hashem Al-Bahrani, Tafsir Al-Burhan, Vol 1; Fayd Al-Kahshani, Tafsir Al-Safi, Vol 1, Al-Huwayzi, Tasir Noor Al-Thaqalain
