Identity of Imam al-Mahdi (ATFS) and his relation to Prophet Jesus (AS)

Who is Imam al-Mahdi (as)? Is he alive today or coming in the future? Why will Jesus come down to earth and be a follower and supporter of him?


Imam al-Mahdi (ATFS) is the 12th and last divine leader of the 12 divine Imams (AS) about whom the Holy Prophet (SAWA) informed that: My successors will be the 12 Imams (AS) and all of them will be from Quraish.
