الإمام المغيَّب
For the Shi'ite he is called الإمام المغيَّب because they believe he is alive but could not appear unless the signs have become real. That's why whenever he is mentioned they say: عجل الله فرجه الشريف.
For the Sunnit they call him الإمام المنتظر because they believe he is not born yet.
For the Sunnit they call him الإمام المنتظر because they believe he is not born yet.

Mohamed Elsayed
: الإمام الثاني عشر أو الإمام الغائب لأنه الشيعة يعتقدون إنه ولد ويعيش في سرداب مختبئا، ولكن ليس المهدي المنتظر في عقيدة السنة

المهدي المنتظر
هذه هي الترجمة الصحيحة في عقيدة الشيعة - أما الإجابة التي تفضل البعض بطرحها "الإمام المغيب" فهي تطلق كما تفضلت الزميلة إيمان بالتوضيح على السيد موسى الصدر ... وشكراً
