Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) (Arabic: مُحَمَّد بِن ٱلْحَسَن ٱلْمَهْدِي, Muḥammad bin al-Ḥasan al-Mahdī) is believed by the Twelver Shia to be the Mahdi (peace be upon him) , an eschatological redeemer of Islam and the final Imam of the Twelve Imams who will emerge with Isa (Jesus)(peace be upon him) in order to fulfil their mission of bringing peace and justice to the world.
Twelver Shias believe that al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) was born on the 15th Sha'ban 255 AH and assumed Immamate at nearly four years of age following the killing of his father Al-Imam Al-Hasan Al-Askari . In the early years of his Imamah, he is believed to have had contact with his followers only through The Four Deputies. This period was known as the Minor Occultation (ٱلْغَيْبَة ٱلصُّغْرَىٰ) and lasted for nearly 70 years.
A few days before the death of his fourth deputy Abu Al-Hasan Ali Ibn Muhammad Al-Samarri, he is believed to have sent his followers a letter. In that letter, which was transmitted by al-Samarri, he declared the beginning of Major Occultation (ٱلْغَيْبَة ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ), during which Al-Imam Al-Mahdi was not to be in contact with his followers directly,
