Title: “Waiting for the Imam During a Time of Pandemic”
Abstract:
“Is COVID-19 a sign that the Awaited Saviour (Imam Mahdi) Will soon (re)appear? In fact, this question has been asked in one form or another, by members of the Abrahamic faiths, during the emergence of virtually every pandemic and plague. This lecture will attempt to answer that question through the lens of Qur’anic verses and the Hadith literature.”
