There existed a good deal of harmony and uniformity between the ascepts pertaining to the birth of last prophet and last imam. Just as the coming of holy Prophet was prophesied well in advance by the preceding prophets similarly the impending news of the gracious birth of imam Mehdi was foretold by the Holy Prophet.

The promised Mehdi who is usally known as Imam -e-zamana is the son of eleventh imam, his name is same as the last prophet's name .He was born in sammra in 255 A.H and untill 260 when his father was martyred lived under his father care and tutelage .He was hidden from the public view and only a few of the elite shia were able to meet him . after the death of his father he became imam and by devine command went to occulation,thereafter he appears only to his dupties and even on exceptional circumstances . and this minor occulation continue for about 70 years than short before the death of his last dupty ALI IBN MUHAMMED AS SAMURI IN 329 AN ORDER WAS ISSUED that with the death of my dupty major occulation will begin and it will continue til Alllah grants permission to imam to manifest himself.
