What has my post got to do anything with being a MOD? It is a general rule Hazrat Ibn Abbas explained: ابهموا ما ابهم الله What Allah has kept ambiguous, you should also keep it that way. Yani, when Allah and his Rasool have not pinpointed Sufyani, why do we need to go into it? SImilarly, when Allah and his Rasool haven't given you a specific time for Mahdi's coming, then why do we need to go into it? And when we don't know who that person will be, and NO ONE CAN KNOW BEFORE HIS COMING, then why waste time on who Mahdi will be?
