Is the belief in the coming of a savior in the future exclusive to Muslims, especially Shiites?

Futurism, meaning the belief in the emergence of a great heavenly savior and the hope for a bright future in which worries and fears will be removed and, thanks to the emergence of a distinguished divine personality, all darkness will be removed from the universe and the roots of oppression, ignorance, and corruption will be uprooted from the face of the earth, is a general and consistent belief that has always been prevalent and common among all nations, everywhere and at all times.

 

In books related to religions, we come across various names and titles of the Savior; for example

 

_ In Judaism: Messiah

 

_ In Christianity: Christ

 

_ In Zoroastrianism: Sochiness

 

_ In Hinduism: Vishnu, Kalki or Kalkin

 

_ In Buddhism: Fifth Buddha Maitreya

 

_ In Islam: Mahdi, Qa'im

 

What is used from the history of nations is that the issue of belief in the emergence of a powerful divine leader and the coming of a reformer at the end of time, in the name of the promised Savior of the world, is so genuine and deep-rooted that it has taken root in the hearts of nations and followers of all divine religions and all tribes and nations of the world, to the extent that throughout human history, humans, in the ups and downs of life, by remembering the emergence of such a powerful leader, have constantly saved themselves from despair and hopelessness, and are counting the minutes while waiting for the emergence of that promised global reformer at the end of the world.
