@mdroshan

I still don’t understand what you mean.

Krishna was both an Avatar and a king (of a small kingdom). He did not give up his work as a king just because he was an Avatar. Rama was an Avatar as well as a prince (and king later).

You are saying that the Imam Mahdi if he is an Avatar will refuse to be an Imam too?

Is ‘king’ the only profession allowed of an Avatar? (this is a problem, because there are no kings these days)

I am not saying Imam and Avatar mean the same thing.

All I am saying is that it is possible for an Imam to be an Avatar or to say that in more modern terms - even a CEO could be an Avatar too (probably unlikely though). Sigh!

So in my opinion, the expected Imam Mahdi will be an Avatar (although Muslims may not refer to him in those terms).

It is possible for an Avatar to be anything including a sweeper. Having said that, muslims believe that that Imam will come before judgement day. For hindus there is no judgement day. For muslims after judgement day, then what? For hindus its is the dawn of a new yuga since the time is a cycle. So will the Imam come do his stuff and tell the muslims "Sorry folks ! There is no judgement day, it is infact the dawn of a new era. Expect my coming again. It will happen because I am Allah in human form? Yeah ! I can see that message being accepted. Or will he tell the Hindus? I came here to take all the Christians and muslims to their judgement . Now that the earth is free of half the humanity, feel free to usher in your new era and live in peace. Or better yet, will he tell hindus "Folks ! Remember how I promised you that I will incarnate from time to time to guide you? I kinda…lied. I am tired of doing all this guiding stuff since I have lost hope in humanity. Please join the queue behind those muslims and Christians so that I can include y’all in the judgement day party too. Also, I am such a liar. I know I promised you all that you will all merge into me eventually but I decided to go ahead and create a paradise for you. You will be joining other religious groups there… all good people, I assure you . So now humanity can finally religious harmony. This is the problem of trying to marry 2 different ideologies that are so radically different. So instead of trying to create a apple-orange hybrid, leave it alone so that people can choose what they want or take a bite of both. If you still aren’t able to understand what I am saying, I give up.
