Anyone who denies or doubts the coming of Moshiach
[Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] – whether he does so willingly, unwillingly,
intentionally, or unintentionally – has distanced himself from the Jewish
people and is a heretic and an apikores.
See Rambam, to “Perek
Chelek”.
He who believes in the coming of Moshiach [Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh)] but maintains that it will happen in the future has corrupted his
belief, because expectation of his imminent
arrival is integral to belief in his coming.
Rambam rules:
“Anyone who does not believe in Moshiach [Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh)] or await his coming denies not only the statements of the
other prophets but those of the Torah and Moshe Rabbeinu.”
(Rambam, Hilchos
Melachim 11:1)
Rambam writes: “The twelfth principle is the days of
Moshiach [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)], which means believing and affirming that he
will come and not thinking he will delay.
If he tarries, await him.”
(Rambam, intro. to “Perek Chelek”).
As we are taught, “Any generation that awaits his
[Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)’s] kingdom is immediately redeemed. As it says, “…
there is hope in your end, says God, [and therefore] your children shall return
to their border’ [Yirmenyahu 31:16].”
(Yalkut Shimoni,
Eichah)
If the Jews do not await redemption, not only does it
elude them, but their troubles and suffering increase.
As Chazal say,
“All those thousands.. fell only because they did not
request the Beis HaMikdash!”
(Midrash Shochar Tov, Tehillim 17) 12
