4. The Awaited Deliverer
Surah Al-A’raf (7:157) extols the virtues of those who follow the unlettered prophet. Shia interpretation extends this verse to encompass the awaited Imam who will lead the faithful into an era of prosperity. This notion is intimately connected with the belief in Mahdi as a savior who will deliver humanity from oppression and strife, thereby fulfilling the Quran’s implicit promise of justice. As the community anticipates his return, they evoke this verse in prayers and supplications, reinforcing their commitment to a transformative future.
