Muhammad al-Hasan @ al-Mahdi
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: The Prophet (pbh) said, if only one day of this world remained, Allah would lengthen that day, till he raised up in it a man who belongs to me or to my family whose father's name is the same as my father's, who will fill the earth with equity and justice as it has been filled with oppression and tyranny (according to the version of Fitr). Sufyan's version says, the world will not pass away until the Arabs are ruled by a man of my family whose name will be the same as mine (Kitab al-Mahdi).
According to Islamic tradition, the Mahdi's tenure will coincide with the second coming of Jesus Christ (Isa), who is to help the Mahdi against the Masih ad-Dajjal (false prophet). Differences exist in the concept of Mahdi between Sunni Muslims and adherent of the Shia tradition. For Sunni, the Mahdi is Muhammad's successor who is yet to come. For most Shia Muslims, the Mahdi was born but disappeared and will remain hidden from humanity until he reappears to bring justice to the world, a doctrine known as Occultation. Twelfer Shia, the "hidden Imam" is Muhammad al-Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam (Source: Wikipedia. The free encyclopedia).
Story of Muhammad al-Hasan @ al-Mahdi
He had no joy and he celebrated no fame. There was no happy memory for Muhammad al-Hasan to recall, but only sad memory and plenty of tears to shed. Before he was born, his father Hasan al-Askari was arrested and put into prison by the Abbasid Caliphate. In another word, he was deprived of his fatherly love before he was born.
Not long after he was born, his Jewish mother had to go into hiding, becausfe the Abbasid Caliphate was looking for Muhammad al-Hasan and his mother (a Jewish woman with an Arabic child). In his sad life, he was deprived of his motherly love not long after he was born. His sad story did not end after his birth, and it continued until he was ten, when he was pierced in the chest and threw into a dried well. In another word, from a baby till his death, his sufferings never ends.
In order to ensure the safety of Muhammad al-Hasan and his mother, an Arabic woman risked her life and volunteered to feed and bring up the child, Muhammad al-Hasan @ al-Mahdi. At least, during his time of growing up, he did enjoy a few years of tranquility. It was temporary and brief and not too much joy that he experienced, because he was not allowed to play with other children or engaged in any outdoor games, this was to ensure his own safety as well as the safety of the community (father's supporters). He spent a lot of his time reading the books of Hadith, books that recorded the words and actions of his great, great, g.., grand father, the Prophet Muhammad (pbh).
At the age of three, there was a short period of joy that Muhammad al-Hasan experienced. It was when his father Hasan al-Askari was released from prison with the change of the Abbasid Caliph. His father Hasan al-Askari, after being released from prison, was filled with joy and excitements. It was a time of hope and celebrations, and the community(supporters) organised a big banquet for the occasions. Hasan al-Askari was so happy that he let his guard down, and he showed off his son to some of his most trusted supporters. Little did he know that the soldiers of the Abbasid Caliphate was watching him, closely.
Less than two weeks with the celebrations, Hasan al-Askari suddenly realized his neighborhood was deserted. Hasan al-Askari house was near the main road, where there was always full of travelers, passing his house to the nearby market. Starting to feel a sense of danger, he quietly sent his son Muhammad al-Hasan off to a safe hiding place, and he continued with his banquet, pretending nothing happened.
A few days later, sure enough, the Abbasid Caliphate sent in the soldiers looking for his son, Muhammad al-Hasan. The soldiers were not successful in locating Muhammad al-Hasan, and they rearrested Hasan al-Askari and put him into prison again. Meanwhile, Muhammad al-Hasan, was on the run and he started his fugitive life at the age of three! With no permanent resting place and with uncertain meal time, Muhammad al-Hasan sad story had started again, with only less than two weeks of joy!
His father Hasan al-Askari, on the other hand, was being interrogated and tortured in the prison. It seemed that the Abbasid Caliphate was very concerned and worried about the existence of his son, Muhammad al-Hasan, who was destined to grow up and become al-Mahdi and will be able to lead the his community (supporter of Hasan Askari).
Hasan al-Askari's Funeral
After a while in the hiding, Muhammad al-Hasan's fugitive life had eased slightly, and he had more regular and predictable meal time. However, he still had to be moved at least three times everyday, to ensure his safety and minimize the risks of being detected by the soldiers. While his father Hasan al-Askari was being interrogated and tortured repeatedly in the prison for refusing to divulge any information about his son, Muhammad al-Hasan @ al-Mahdi.
One day, Hasan al-Askari finally died as a result of the torturing from the prison. The community was allowed to claim the body and prepared for his funeral. However, it was on condition that the funeral will have to be on an open space, under the watchful eyes of the soldiers. Muhammad al-Hasan, with the help of the community(father's supporters) hid himself in one of the funeral decoration and was carried to the funeral site. With the help of the community, he managed to get close to his father's body and touched him. Muhammad al-Hasan managed to give a short but meaningful prayers to his father Hasan al-Askari.
It was an emotional farewell for Muhammad al-Hasan, and his decoration was quickly carried away by the community (father's supporters), immediately after the prayers. Fearing that Muhammad al-Hasan would break down and started crying, the funeral decoration was carried away with crying and howling from the followers. Muhammad al-Hasan will always remember, he remembered clearly that there were bruises on his father's body. There was no sign of poisoning, but signs of bruises were clear, especially near the neck.
A clear sign of power abuse and evident of torture!
Celebration of Circumcision
After his father's funeral, Muhammad al-Hasan became an angry and sad boy. He eagerly wanted to find out who he was and what was his mission, and why the Al-mighty God had put him through so much tests. He asked and he asked, he probed and he probed, but no one seemed to be able to give him a satisfactory answer. It was how he spent most of his time as a young boy.
At the age of about 10, the community (father's supporters) was willing to take some risks and gave him something to celebrate before his circumcision. The community agreed to allow him to revisit his old house, knowing that it would bring back some fond memory and bring joy to Muhammad al-Hasan.
It was a simple request, but it required a lot of planning and spying, because Abbasid Caliphate's soldiers were always guarding the house, and anyone who was caught wandering near the house would be arrested and be put under interrogation. The community was so determined to bring joy to Muhammad al-Hasan, that they were willing to take all risks to fulfill his wish and bring joy to him.
One day, the community had their break when all the Abbasid Caliphate's soldiers received order to return to the palace for some unknown reason. With joy and excitement, Muhammad al-Hasan was rushed to his old house by the Shia. He was allowed stayed near the well, while the community were on the look out near the main door. The well was dry and ruined due to the lack of maintenance, but it brought back a lot of happy memory. Muhammad al-Hasan stayed near the well for a while (maybe a few minutes).
Suddenly, the crowd at the door was shouting, "run! run! run!". The group of his father's supporters that was on the look out near the main door were using their body to stop the marching soldiers of the Abbasid Caliphate from getting into the house. There were about 30 of his father's faithful supporters, but only about 5 soldiers that were charging with spears!In less than 30 seconds, two soldiers managed to break through the crowd and charged at Muhammad al-Hasan, who was beside the dried well. One of the soldier raised his spear, pierced Muhammad al-Hasan at his chest and pushed him into the dried well, without saying a single word, or asking any question.
Funeral of Muhammad al-Hasan @ al-Mahdi
Immediately after Muhammad al-Hasan was pushed into the well, the house became full of soldiers again, and no one was allowed to enter the house. All the dead were being carried away, except Muhammad al-Hasan, who was in the well, not dead but was bleeding with a broken neck, and was left to suffer alone at the bottom of the well.
The soldiers of Abbasid Caliphate, who looked like today's Bangladeshi, were oblivious as to whom they had pierced and pushed into the well. The whole community stayed outside the house for a final farewell to their al-Mahdi, all stood in silence with sadness. Only a few of the women who could not control their emotional outbursts, cried out loudly in tears, "Muhammaa...d Ma..hdiii...!"
All the soldiers could not be bothered with the community's sadness, and they let the sad Muhammad al-Hasan in the dried well alone, with broken neck. Muhammad al-Hasan was left to bleed to his death in the well.
Occultation
Muhammad al-Hasan could had been dead, but he will return to complete his mission. He will be in a state of occultation, or what the Taoist called reincarnation. He will return when Satan(666) is ready to conquer this world. He will return to foil the attempt of United=6 States=6 & Israel=6 to conquer this world.

From the famous Nostradamus C10, Q72:
L'an mil neuf nonante neuf sept mois,
Du ciel vn grand Roy d'effrayeur:
Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois
Auant apres Mars regner par bon-heur.
The year 1999, month of Sept,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror.
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols.
Before and after Mars rules happily.
