Imam Mahdi (A.S.) was born in Samarra at dawn in the middle of Sha'ban in the year 255.

And after five years of living under the tutelage of their father, and their noble mother, Narjes Khatun, in 260 AH, at the age of five, they assumed the position of Shiite Imamate.

The last Shia Imam was born in the house of Imam Askari, peace be upon him, on the 15th of Sha'ban 255 AH, despite the special care of the Abbasid government agents.

The secret birth of that Prophet is not unlike the birth of Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) and Prophet Ibrahim Khalil (peace be upon him).

Just as these two great divine prophets were born under the strictest security measures of Pharaohs and Nimrods, by the will of God, and safely next to the palaces of Pharaoh and Nimrod.

Hazrat Mahdi (AS) also borned at dawn on Friday, half of Sha'ban, while the spies and agents of the Abbasid caliph were monitoring all the events in the house of the 11th Imam, peace be upon him.

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Imams, peace be upon them, have each mentioned the qualities of Imam Mahdi (AS) in their speeches.

Hazrat Imam Reza, peace be upon him, in describing the characteristics of his face and morals and prominent features, says:

Qaim al-Muhammad (AS) is surrounded by halos of light on his beautiful face.

He has a moderate demeanor and a cheerful face. In terms of physical characteristics, he is the most similar person to the Messenger of God (PBUH).

His special sign is that although he has a very long life, he has a youthful appearance;

To the extent that any viewer imagines him to be forty years old or less. One of his other signs is that until his death, despite the passage of a very long time, no signs of aging will ever be seen on his face.
