50 women among Imam Mahdi disciples

“All the friends of Imam Mahdi are young and 50 of them are women,” said the Friday Prayer Leader in Gilan province of Iran, Hojjatol Islam Ali Kalbasi.

“When Hazrat Mahdi (as) appears, he will have 313 men, 50 of them women,” said the Islamic scholar.

Some religious scholars believe these 313 followers come together in the same way that different clouds combine in the sky.

This is a manifestation of Allah’s verse “Wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together.
 
Truly Allah has power over all things.” (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 52, p. 223) This is a manifestation of Allah’s verse “Wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together. Truly Allah has power over all things.” (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 52, p. 223)

Hojjatol Islam Kalbasi underlined that the number of Imam Mahdi’s female disciples shows the important role of women in the time of waiting.
