Keywords: Names of Imam Zaman, nicknames of Imam Zaman, Najm Saqib in the condition of the absent Imam,

Abstract :

One of the characteristics that plays a role in recognizing the identity of Imam Zaman is his name. The Holy Prophet 9 mentioned the name of that Prophet when announcing the coming of the savior, and it is also mentioned in the hadiths of the infallible ones. As many as 182 names, nicknames and nicknames for Imam Zaman are mentioned in the book "Najm Saqib Fi Ahwaal Imam Ghabib".The findings of the research show that according to the documents presented in the book of Najm Saqib, about the names and nicknames mentioned in this book, only the famous name and nickname of the Prophet are valid for issuance. Regarding the titles mentioned in this book, which are more than 171, since in most of the cases they contain praise meanings, they should be attributed to Imam Zaman as long as there is no convincing proof of their falsification and they contain meanings. They are not polytheistic and exaggerated, it is permissible despite the weakness of the document.
