Imam on several occasions through his messages and speeches highlighted that the belief was not merely restricted to Muslims, but followers of all divine religions have firm faith in emergence of a divine savior.
Imam said in his historic speeches that the savior form the progeny of the holy prophet of Islam would relieve the world from clutches of cruelty, injustice and inequality, and maintain good governance, and establish a massive justice system.
Imam Khomeini underscored importance of the 15th Sha'ban, the birthday anniversary of Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi (PBUH), an ultimate savior of humankind and the 12th in the line of imams who were descendants of the prophet Mohammed (PBUH), and described the event as the most significant Eid for believers and the entire humanity.
Since the divine savior is assigned with divine duty of guiding all the human beings, it is a feast for the entire mankind.
Accroding to Imam Khomeini, Hadrat Hujjah, who is from the progeny and descendant of Fatima Zahra, the daughter of the holy prophet of Islam (peace be upon them), will be flag-bearer of justice and confront all exploiting and arrogant elements and powers.
