Well, who would Imam Mehdi need to hide from, when Allah has sent Him?
That is my question, why is he in hiding, why don't he come out.. i believe he is older than 40 years, so what stopping him??? or just like other false massiah and mehdies ( Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadyani prime example) failing to see his prophesies ( if any) going other war around, he decided to do in hiding...
I believe that ghaiba is simply the opputunity given to the followers of Imam Mehdi to give the message of Imam Mehdi to all humanity, and propagate the signs of Allah, so that when Imam Mehdi does come back, there will be many who await Him and who will recognize Him upon HIS return. However, this is my personal understanding, and b*ecause I believe that Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi is sent for our guidance by Allah, I also believe that as a Man of God, He could not possibly do anything against Allah's wishes, especially as His nafs is already purified. *
I respect ur believes, you have to right to believe what ever you think is right, but we have one more question, how can he lead from Ghaiba!!! a person who dares not to come out in public with his views/believes ( no matter right or wrong) can he lead? is that kind of person is good enough to pass on the message, I don't think so Allah Subhan'o'Tala ever selected this way of preaching..
As far as his return is concerned, In Muslim Believe, only Prophet Essa (AS) shall return, not any Mehdi... so i don't no according to which doctrine he is going to return and that is from where?? AS tthe traditions about mehdi is that he will be found and people will force him to be the leader.. not that he'll announce his Mahdiyat and then go in hiding and then comes back... this notion is totally out of the way and clearly shows that it has no resemblance with Mehdi tradition what so ever...
Now again if he is sent for the task then where is he??? If i make you my emabssador to certain country, then you are my public face... you shouldn't be in hiding or should you???
When the Queen of England is visiting Canada, it is announced through the media (i.e. t.v., newpapers, etc.). Allah also announces the arrival of His appointed ones. Messiah/Mehdi Foundation International (the organization I am part of) propagates the announcements of Allah and what they mean in regards to Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi.
I agree, when queen of England visits Canada they announce it on media, but she does not visit those countries out of hiding or does they? here the your foundation has based its foundation on false believes and just to safe ur face, ( as ur Mehdi was not been able to achieve even the 10th of what the Real Mehdi will do) as he is dead and now you have come up with the believe that he will return... and yes u already have started him calling Messiah, means it will just matter of time when he will be Mehdi and Messiah ( Jesus) at same time...
Anyway, yes, in the book penned by Syedna Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi, "Deen-e-Illahi", it is stated that Syedna Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi did go to a jungle for purification of the nafs.
Oh and please allow me to explain about Mars. You see, the image can be seen from pictures taken by NASA and other space organizations, but it cannot be seen with the naked eye (t*hat is to say, if you tried to look for the image outside at nigh*t). The Moon, however, is much closer and therefore much easier to see with the naked eye. :)
The Pictures can be fabricated, i look like prince charming in the picutures but that is not the story in the real life. So your picture things does not worthy of an argument and as for moon, yesterday it was my picture on it.. and anyone can see that with the naked eye, the reason is, i was in the remote area of Syria, and couldn't shave for almost 4/5 days, so my picture was there although a friend and my collegue disagree and says that it was his picture...
