Can you tell me about Imam Mahdi's life periods?
The life of Imam Mahdi is comprised of three periods: The hiding period, the period of Occultation, and the period of Appearance.
The Hiding Period: This period that lasted for five years and the Imam was still a child commenced from his birth until his father was martyred.
The Period of Occultation: This period began when the eleventh Imam was martyred and it will last until Imam Mahdi appears. However, some people believe that this period initiated since the Imam was born. His occultation is divided into the Minor and the Major ones.
The period of Appearance: This time will commence when the Major Occultation is over. In this time, the Imam will rise and will implement the divine sovereignty throughout the world and make the universe full of justice and equity.
