Are Muslims Expected to Strive or They Should Wait for the Mahdi?
Some people take the hadiths about the Mahdi and the descent of Prophet `Isa (peace be upon him) as a reason to stop striving for Islam, so they sit and wait for the emergence of the Mahdi or the descent of Prophet `Isa (Jesus), so that Islam and the Muslims will rise once again. What is your opinion of this understanding?
