Baqīyat Allāh (بقية الله)
Meaning: What Allah has remained for us upon the earth.
بَقِيَّتُ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۚ وَمَآ أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيظٍ
What is left by Allah is best for you, if you are believers. And I am not a guardian over you.” 1
Imam Baqir peace be upon him said:
Greetings to Hazrat Qā’im (may our souls be sacrificed for Him) is to say: “Peace be upon you, O Baqīyat Allāh upon the earth. 2
Amir al-Mu’minīn Ali (PBUH) said:
He is the Baqīyat Allāh upon the earth, Hazrat Mahdi (as), who will appear at the end of time after the expiration of this period and will fill the earth with fairness and justice as it has been filled with oppression and tyranny.
A letter has been issued from Hazrat Baqīyat Allāh al-Azam (may Allah hasten his reappearance) which includes the following: Whenever you want to turn to Allah, turn to us, and say as Allah Almighty has said:
“Peace be upon you, O Baqīyat Allāh upon the earth” 2
