In Defiance of Dajjal

Preface

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious ,Most Merciful.

This is my third book in the series on the End Time Events. Dajjal is the major source of concern and the greatest fitna of all times. To write about Dajjal was very difficult. There are so many dimensions to this topic that it is very difficult to cover all of them in just one book without losing focus on the main theme. I have tried my best to cover all the aspects in this book but I do not think that this is the last word. I have presented a comparative study of Dajjal and his system in the light of Hadiths and The verses of the Bible. I hope the readers will find it very interesting and thought-provoking.

Part .1 Who is Dajjal (The Anti Christ )?

Dajjal is the greatest Fitna of End Time and one of the major signs of Qiyamah.

Sahih Muslim Hadith 7039 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

 Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said: Hasten to do good deeds before six things happen: the rising of the sun from the west, the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast and (the death) of one you or the general turmoil.

Sahih Muslim Hadith 6931 Narrated by Hudhayfah ibn Usayd Ghifari

 Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion) He said: What do you discuss about? (the Companions) said: We are discussing about the Last Hour. Thereupon he said: It will not come until you see ten signs before and (in this connection) he made a mention of the smoke, Dajjal, the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of Jesus son of Mary (Allah be pleased with him), The Gog and Magog, and landslides in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia at the end of which fire would burn forth from the Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their assembly.

Physical Appearance of Dajjal

Dajjal will be a Jew. He will appear in the deserts of Iraq. He will be followed by the Jews of Isfahan. He will be blind of his right eye. It will look like a protruding grape. He will have thick hair on his body. The words K F R will be written between his two eyes.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.554 Narrated by Abu Huraira

 Allah's Apostle said, "Shall I not tell you about the Dajjal a story of which no prophet told his nation? The Dajjall is one-eyed and will bring with him what will resemble Hell and Paradise, and what he will call Paradise will be actually Hell; so I warn you (against him) as Noah warned his nation against him."

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4306 Narrated by Ubadah ibn as-Samit

 The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: I have told you so much about the Dajjal (Antichrist) that I am afraid you may not understand. The Antichrist is short, hen-toed, woolly-haired, one-eyed, an eye-sightless, and neither protruding nor deep-seated. If you are confused about him, know that your Lord is not one-eyed.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.504 Narrated by Abdullah

 Ad-Dajjal was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet. The Prophet said, "Allah is not hidden from you; He is not one-eyed," and pointed with his hand towards his eye, adding, "While Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye and his eye looks like a protruding grape."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.505 Narrated by Anas

 The Prophet said, "Allah did not send any prophet but that he warned his nation of the one-eyed liar (Ad-Dajjal). He is one-eyed while your Lord is not one-eyed. The word 'Kafir' (unbeliever) is written between his two eyes."

Dajjal will attack Medina

Dajjal will attack Medina but will not be able to enter Medina.

Sahih Muslim Hadith 3187 Narrated by AbuHurayrah

 Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Dajjal will come from the eastern side with the intention of attacking Medina until he will get down behind Uhud. Then the angels will turn his face towards Syria and there he will perish.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.239 Narrated by Anas bin Malik

 The Prophet said, "Ad-Dajjal will come and encamp at a place close to Medina and then Medina will shake thrice whereupon every Kafir (disbeliever) and hypocrite will go out (of Medina) towards him."

Dajjal will appear after the Azab of Dukhan (Smoke)

Dukhan is an Azab which will hit this world three years before the appearance of Dajjal. This Azab will hit this world when an asteroid hits this world. The scientists have predicted that an Asteroid named Apophis may hit this world in 2036. So we can say that Dukhan will hit this world in 2036 and Dajjal will appear in the fourth year 2039.

The Prophet said,

“There will be a famine for three years before his appearance. In the first year of the famine the heaven will withhold one third of its rain and the earth one third of its crops. In the second year of the famine ,the heaven will withhold two thirds of its rain and the earth will withhold two thirds of its crops. In the third year there will not be a single drop of rain and not a single thing will grow and thus

 all the animals with hoofs and biting teeth will die .”(Mishkat)

Dajjal will appear at a time when the people will be dying of hunger.He will bring bread and water for them. In fact this will be a deception.

Sahih Muslim Hadith 5352 Narrated by Mughirah ibn Shu'bah

 None else had asked more questions from Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) about the Dajjal than I, but he simply said in a (light mood): My son, why are you worried because of him? He will not harm you. I said: The people think that he would have with him rivers of water and mountains of bread, whereupon he said: He would be more insignificant in the sight of Allah than all these things (belonging to him).

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.244 Narrated by Hudhaifa

The Prophet said about Ad-Dajjal that he would have water and fire with him: (what would seem to be) fire, would be cold water and (what would seem to be) water, would be fire.

So whoever takes water or bread from Dajjal will go to hell.

Dajjal will show Miracles to the people.

Dajjal will have supernatural powers. He will show miracles to the people. He will deceive them into believing that he is an Avtar. According to all the religions of the world except Islam, God comes on earth in human form whom they call Avtar or god incarnate, god in human form. The Hindus believe that Ram was an Avtar. The Budhists believe that Mahatima Budh was an Avtar. The Christians also believe that Jesus P.B.U.H. was god but came in human body. It is only Islam which does not believe in the philosophy of Avtar. So the Muslims will reject him as an Avtar or god. But majority of the people will be deceived by his miracle and will take him as god, especially those Muslims who believe in Noor e Mujessim. Those who believe that Prophet Muhammad was Noor min Noor ullah.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4305 Narrated by Imran ibn Husayn

 The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Let him who hears of the Dajjal (Antichrist) go far from him for I swear by Allah that a man will come to him thinking he is a believer and follow him because of confused ideas roused in him by him.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 3.106 Narrated by Abu Said Al Khudri

 Allah's Apostle told us a long narrative about Ad-Dajjal, and among the many things he mentioned, was his saying, "Ad-Dajjal will come and it will be forbidden for him to pass through the entrances of Medina. He will land in some of the salty barren areas (outside) Medina; on that day the best man or one of the best men will come up to him and say, 'I testify that you are the same Dajjal whose description was given to us by Allah's Apostle .' Ad-Dajjal will say to the people, 'If I kill this man and bring him back to life again, will you doubt my claim?' They will say, 'No.' Then Ad-Dajjal will kill that man and bring him back to life. That man will say, 'Now I know your reality better than before.' Ad-Dajjal will say, 'I want to kill him but I cannot.'

No one will be able to kill Dajjal except Jesus P.B.U.H.. First of all Imam Mehdi will appear and he will gather forces to fight against the forces of Dajjal. After conquering Istanbul Imam Mehdi will attack Damascus and liberate it from the forces of Dajjal. Dajjal will gather his forces and will besiege Damascus. The doors of Damascus will be closed and the forces of Dajjal will surround Damascus. In the mean time, Jesus P.B.U.H. will alight from the sky and kill Dajjal in Israel as is mentioned in the following Hadith.

Sahih Muslim Hadith 7015 Narrated by An-Nawwas ibn Sam'an

 Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) mentioned of the Dajjal one day in the morning. He sometimes described him as insignificant and sometimes described (his turmoil) as very significant (and we felt) as if he were in the cluster of the date-palm trees. When we went to him (to the Holy Prophet) in the evening and he read (the signs of fear) on our faces, he said: What is the matter with you? We said: Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) you mentioned the Dajjal this morning (sometimes describing him) as insignificant and sometimes very important, until we began to think he was present in some (nearly) part of the cluster of the date-palm trees. So he said: I harbour fear in regard to you in so many other things besides the Dajjal. If he comes forth while I am among you, I shall contend with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth while I am not among you, a man must contend on his own behalf and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf (and safeguard him against his evil). He (the Dajjal) will be a young man with twisted, cropped hair, and a blind eye. I compare him with AbdulUzza ibn Qatan. He who among you will survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Surah al-Kahf (xviii). He will appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and will spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! Adhere (to the path of Truth). We said: Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him), how long will he stay on Earth? He said: For forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days will be like your days. We said: Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) will one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of the day equal to one year? Thereupon he said: No, but you must make an estimate of the time (and then observe prayer). We said: Allah's apostle (peace be upon him) how quickly will he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he said: Like cloud driven by the wind. He will come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion); they will affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He will then give a command to the sky: there will be rainfall upon the Earth and it will grow crops. Then in the evening, their pasturing animals will come to them with their humps very high, their udders full of milk and their flanks distended. He will then come to another people and invite them. But they will reject him so he will go away from them; they will have a drought and nothing will be left with them in the form of wealth. He will then walk through the desert and say to it: Bring forth your treasures. The treasures will come out and gather before him like a swarm of bees. He will then call someone in the flush of youth, strike him with the sword, cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at the distance which is generally between the archer and his target. He will then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness). It will at this very time that Allah will send Christ, son of Mary. He will descend at the white minaret on the eastern side of Damascus, wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he lowers his head, there will fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he raises it up, beads like pearls will scatter from it. Every non-believer who smells the odour of his body will die and his breath will reach as far as he is able to see. He will then search for him (Dajjal) until he catches hold of him at the gate of Ludd and kills him. Then a people whom Allah had protected will come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he will wipe their faces and inform them of their ranks in Paradise. It will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from among My servants such people against whom none will be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur, and then Allah will send Gog and Magog and they will swarm down from every slope. The first of them will pass the lake of Tiberias and drink out of it. And when the last of them passes, he will say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions will then be besieged here (at Tur, and they will be so hard pressed) that the head of the ox will be dearer to them than one hundred dinars. Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him), Jesus, and his companions will supplicate Allah, Who will send to them insects (which will attack their necks) and in the morning they would perish as one single person. Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him), Jesus, and his companions, then come down to Earth and they will not find on Earth as much space as a single span that is not filled with putrefaction and stench. Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him), Jesus, and his companions will then beseech Allah who will send birds whose necks would be like those of Bactrian camels and they will carry them away and throw them where Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which no house of mud-bricks or (tent of) camel-hair will keep out and it will wash the Earth until it resembles a mirror. Then the Earth will be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there will grow (such a big) pomegranate that a group of people will be able to eat it and seek shelter under its skin, a dairy cow will give so much milk that a whole party will be able to drink it. The milking camel will give such (a large quantity of) milk that the whole tribe will be able to drink from it, and the milking-sheep will give so much milk that the whole family will be able to drink from it. At that time Allah will send a pleasant wind which will soothe (people) even under their armpits. He will take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked will survive who will commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them.

Dajjal in the light of the Bible

The Bible calls Dajjal ,the Beast. The Christians call him Anti Christ because he will fight against Jesus P.B.U.H..

The Beast is Anti Christ who will appear in the end time.

He will have supernatural powers with which he will deceive the world. That’s why  Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) called him Dajjal, a liar. John sees vision about him. He says,

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of

the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten

crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were

as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion : and the

dragon (Satan) gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death ; and his

deadly wound was healed : and all the world wondered after the

beast.

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast :

and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast ?

who is able to make war with him ?” (Revelation 13:1-4)

He shows miracles

“And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down

from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those

miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast ; saying

to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to

the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” (Revelation 14:13,14)

The people will worship him and those who do not worship him will be killed.

“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.”

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the

image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as

would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” (Revelation14:15) (Those who will not worship Dajjal would be killed.)

According to a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H., Dajjal will rule the world for forty days.

The Bible says,

“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and

blasphemies ; and power was given unto him to continue forty and

two months.” (Revelation 13:5)

The above verse of the Bible confirms the words of The Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. that Dajjal will rule the world for forty days.

“And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme

his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to

overcome them : and power was given him over all kindreds, and

tongues, and nations”. (Revelation14:6,7)

Dajjal will  make war with the Muslims who are the saints. According to Islam , Imam Mehdi A.S. will fight against Dajjal but he will not be able to kill him, then Allah will send Jesus P.B.U.H. who will fight against Dajjal and kill him in Israel.

Jesus P.B.U.H. advises the Christians not to fight with the sword.

John sees a vision and says ,

“He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity : he that killeth

with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience

and the faith of the saints.”

Second Beast, the Helper of Dajjal

John sees another Beast who helps the first Beast, Dajjal.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth ; and he

had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and

causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first

beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the

image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as

would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and

bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads : and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or

the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the

number of the beast : for it is the number of a man ; and his number

is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Revelation14:11-18)

The Second Beast mentioned in the above verses is America which is paving way for the first Beast, Dajjal.

The Bible says that Dajjal will introduce a system in which no one will be allowed to trade without having a mark on his hand or forehead.

New World Order:

Today we know that America and its Allies, the European Union countries have imposed a global system which they call New World Order. In this system no country can trade without the approval of WTO. No company can trade internationally without obtaining ISO certification. No student can get higher education without passing O Level and A Level. etc. This one world government headed by America is a Dajjalic System imposed on the world today. So we can say that America and its allies are paving way for Dajjal, the Anti Christ.

RFID Micro Chip:

America has also introduced a micro chip which is called RFID. This micro chip will be planted at the hands of the people. It will serve as an ID card, Credit Card, Debit Card, Gps system etc. America plans to implant this on its citizens before 2013 and implant this chip on all the people of the world before 2017.

WWW. World Wide Web:

World wide web is also a mark of the beast. Today Internet is replacing traditional commerce with e-commerce; Traditional currency with e-currency; traditional education with e-education; and traditional government with e-governance. Today all the governments of the world are being replaced by One World Government. This government will be headed by Dajjal, the Anti Christ. His capital will be Jerusalem and his seat will be Third Temple where the people will worship him.

The Best Jamaat

The best Jamaat in this age is one which does Jihad to defy this Dajjalic systems and establishes Islamic Shariah in the land. They will have the equal status with Sahaba. It is also proved from the Holy Quran.

The Messenger Muhammad (saw) said:

 "Some peoples will come on the Day of Judgement and their Imaan will be outstanding, its light will shine from their chests and from their right hands. So it will be said to them, 'glad tidings for you today, Assalaamu alaykum and goodness for you, enter into it (Jannah) forever!' So the angels and the Prophets will be jealous of the love of Allah for them."

 So the Sahabah asked, ' who are they O Messenger of Allah?' He (saw) replied, "They are not from us and they are not from you. You are my companions but they are my beloved. They will come after you and will find the book (the Qur'an) made redundant by the people, and a Sunnah which has been killed by them. So they will grab hold of the book and the Sunnah and revive them.

 So they will read them and teach them (the Qur'an and the Sunnah) to the people and they will experience in that path a punishment more severe and more ugly than what you (O Sahabah) have experienced. Indeed, the Imaan of one of them is equivalent to the Imaan of forty of you. The Shaheed of one of them is equivalent to forty of your Shuhadaa'. Because you found a helper towards the truth (the Prophet [saw]) and they will find no helper towards the truth. So they will be surrounded by tyrant rulers in every place, and they will be in the surroundings of Bayt ul-Maqdis (al-Quds). The Nussrah (victorious material support) of Allah will come to them, and they will have the honour of it on their hands." Then he (saw) said "O Allah give them the Nussrah and make them my close friends in Jannah."

 Reported by Ahmed #17561, chain #77. Hasan according to Ibn Hajr al-Haythami.

The Bible says,

“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.”

Whosoever gets this mark of the Beast will be Punished by Allah with the Torment of Dukhan.

John says,

“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If

any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is

poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation ; and he

shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the

holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb :

and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever : and

they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his

image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” (Revelation)

This Azab will hit this world in 2036 as mentioned before.

Dajjal according to his followers who are mainly Free Masons, The Jews and the Christians is an Avtar, a god incarnate, a god in human body. According to the Free Masons , Dajjal is a Sun-god, the Sooriya Dev because they worship the sun-god. Now they are waiting for the sun-god to enter the Third Temple as a human being. Initially they worshipped the rising sun in the temple. That’s why Allah destroyed the first two Temples. Now they are building the Third Temple for Dajjal to rule the world. This third Temple will also be destroyed.

The Bible prophesies the Destruction of the 3^rd Temple in these words.

“Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:

Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.

So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;” (Ezekiel 13: 9-14)

The wall mentioned here is the Wailing Wall which is the remnant of the Second Temple and most sacred place for the Jews and the Christians.The Christians and the Jews want to daub (renovate ) it into The Third Temple. They claim there will be peace in the world but so far we see no peace in the Middle East. The construction of the Third Temple will result in more bloodshed and destruction because they want to build it at the same place where Al Aqsa Mosque is standing today. They want to demolish the mosque which will result in more bloodshed. The Bible says that this Temple will be destroyed by the Overflowing Shower or Flood as mentioned in the above verses.

John also a vision of their destruction of the Third Temple which he calls the seat of the beast. He says,

“And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast ;

and his kingdom was full of darkness ; and they gnawed their

tongues for pain, and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.”

( The seat of the Beast means the Third Temple.)

Part.2 In Defiance of Dajjal

As we have seen in the first part of the book that there are forces of Evil which are paving way for Dajjal. But there are also forces of Good who are paving way for Imam Mehdi A.S.. Here are some key events of the End Time and the key players mentioned below.

Beginning of End Time

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The mill of Islam will go round till the year thirty-five, or thirty-six, or thirty-seven; then if they perish, they will have followed the path of those who perished before them, but if their religion is maintained, it will be maintained for seventy years. I asked: Does it mean seventy years which remain or seventy years which are gone by? He replied: It means (seventy years) that are gone by.(Sunan Abu Dawood Book 35, Number 4241)

Thirty-five means 2035, thirty-six means 2036 and thirty-seven means 2037.From 1967 to 2037 are exactly 70 years.

If we include two more years 2038 and 2039, we have 72 years. These 72 years are really the End Time. All the major Signs of Qiyamah will occur during these 72 years.

Occupation of Bait ul Muqadis

1967 is the official beginning of End Time. In 1967 Israel occupied Bait-ul-Maqdis which is the beginning of final battle between Dajjalic forces and the forces of Imam Mehdi A.S..

The Best Jama'ah

So the best Jama'ah is one which will do Jihad for the liberation of Bait-ul-Maqdis in these 72 years.

The best Jama'ah in the light of Hadiths

Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. said, "I only fear for my Ummah the misguiding leaders. And when the sword falls between them, it will not be lifted until the Day of Resurrection. And the Hour will not come until groups of my Ummah join the mushrikun, and until tribes from my Ummah worship idols. And there will be in my Ummah thirty great liars, each of whom will claim that he is a prophet, but I am the Seal of the Prophets, and there is no prophet after me. And there will always remain a group from my Ummah upon the way of Truth, victorious and unharmed by those who let them down, until the Command of Allah [tabaraka wa-ta'ala] comes."

And al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated in the Sahihayn from Mu'adh ibn Jabal [radhiyallahu 'anhu] that he said: "The Messenger of Allah [sallallahu 'alayhi wa-sallam] said:

"There will always remain a group from my Ummah fighting upon the way of Truth, victorious over all who oppose them, until the last of them fights al-Masih ad-Dajjal."

And in another narration:

"There will always remain a group from my Ummah, fighting upon the way of Truth, victorious until the Day of Resurrection. 'Isa ibn Maryam will descend and their amir will say: "Come and lead us in the prayer." So he will say: "No, for you have been made leaders of each other, Allah's honour to this Ummah."

And in another narration:

"There will always remain a group from my Ummah, fighting at the gates of Damascus and its surrounds, and at the gates of Bayt al-Maqdis and its surrounds, who will not be harmed by those who let them down. They will be victorious upon the Truth until the coming of the Hour."

The above Hadiths confirm that the best Jamaat is one which will do Jihad for the liberation of occupied muslim lands especially Bait ul Maqdis.  

This Jama'ah comes from the East or Khurrasan

 Ibn Majah narrated from 'Abdullah ibn al-Harith ibn Juz' az-Zubaydi [radhiyallahu 'anhu] that he said: "The Messenger of Allah [sallallahu 'alayhi wa-sallam] said:

"A people will come from the East who will prepare the way for the Mahdi."

They will have black banners.

Ahmad narrated from Abu Hurayrah [radhiyallahu 'anhu] that he said: "The Messenger of Allah [sallallahu 'alayhi wa-sallam] said:

"Black banners will come out of Khurasan, and nothing will stop them, until they are raised in Ayliya'."

Ayliya' [Aelia] is the ancient Roman name for Bayt al-Maqdis. Khurasan refers to the area of present-day Afghanistan and eastern Persia. 

Al Qaeda, the Army from the East

Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 36, Number 4277:

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Prophet (saAllaahu alayhi wa salam) said:

"A man called al-Harith ibn Harrath will come forth from Ma Wara an-Nahr. His army will be led by a man called Mansur who will establish or consolidate things for Muhammad’s family as Quraysh consolidated them for the Apostle of Allah. Every believer must help him, or he said: respond to his sermons."

Please note the following interesting points:

[1] “A man called al-Harith ibn Harrath will come forth from Ma Wara an-Nahr.” One of the meanings of “al-Haarith” is “a young lion“, and “Harraath” means a man who prepares the field for planting crops.

So “al-Haarith ibn Harraath” would translate as: “the young lion, the son of one who prepares the ground for planting crops”. Do you know that this is the exact same meaning of the name “Usaamah ibn Laadin”?

“Usaamah” means: a young lion. And “Laadin” in the Yemeni dialect means: one who prepares the ground for planting crops.

The Arabic text of the Hadeeth does not say that his actual NAME will be “al-Haarith ibn Harraath“, but the word used is: “yuqaalu lahoo” i.e. he will be KNOWN AS, or IT WILL BE SAID about him. So it is very possible that al-Haarith ibn Harraath is Usaamah ibn Laadin..

“Ma Wara an-Nahr” = the land beyond the river, i.e. beyond the river Tigris and Euphrates. This is the land of Khurasaan, or Afghanistan.

Everyone knows that Ibn Laadin and his fighters are in Afghanistan, and if you have seen the video of the Al-Qaeda Mujaahideen, you will see that their four battalions of fighters carry black banners.

[2] “His army will be led by a man called Mansoor.”

Mansoor = one who is victorious/one who is given victory over his enemies.

Ayman adh-Dhawaahiree: “adh-Dhawaahiree” comes from “adh-Dhawaahir” which is the plural of “Dhaahir”. One of the meanings of “Dhaahir” is: THE ONE WHO IS VICTORIOUS!!!

Again, it is not mentioned that Mansoor is his actual name, but rather that he will be known as one who is “Mansoor”.

[3] “who will establish or consolidate things for Muhammad’s family as Quraysh consolidated them for the Apostle of Allah (saAllaahu alayhi wa salam).”

Al-Qaeda’s objective as clearly stated in their sermons and statements is to remove the apostate regimes ruling the Muslim world and to expel the Crusaders in order to restore the Khilaafah. And it is known that the Khaleefah will be the Mahdi from the family of Muhammad (s.a.w.).

CONCLUSION:

The knowledge is with Allah alone, but it is highly possible that the army with the black banners that will come from Khurasaan/Afghanistan is THE ARMY OF USAAMAH IBN LAADIN. And that they will be led by AYMAN ADH-DHAWAAHIREE. And they will prepare the way for the rule of the Mahdi from the family of the Prophet saAllaahu alayhi wa salam by liberating the Islaamic lands from the occupying Crusaders and the apostate regimes.

Three Mehdis

There are three persons who have been called Imam Mehdi , the guided Imams of the end time. The first appeared in the year 1400 A.H.

Rasoolullah P.B.U.H. said ,

“The people will gather around Imam Mehdi in the year 1400 A.H.”( Al Muttaqi Al Hindi)

It was Osama Bin Laden who appeared in the year 1400 A.D. or 1979. He organized the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and fought against Russia. He was helped by America. The above Hadith calls him the Imam of the Muslim Ummah. This war is mentioned in a hadith.

Zu Mukhammar said I heard the Messenger of Allah say,

 " You will make a Hudna (Truce Agreement) with the Romans (Europeans), and together you and them will invade an enemy (located) behind you. You will be victorious, take much booty, and you will leave. Then, you will camp on a hilly pasture. When one of the Romans will approach (the Muslim army), raise a cross and says "The Cross has won", one of the Muslims will get angry and take off the Cross.

Then, the Romans will trick (bluff or deceive) you, and gather (prepare) for the Malhama (War). They will gather an army against you and come against you with eighty banners, each banner followed by 10,000 (or 12,000) men." (Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah)

 The enemy mentioned in the above Hadith was Russia. Russia occupied Afghanistan in 1979. Mujahidin from all over the world  headed towards Afghanistan to do Jihad for the liberation of Afghanistan. They were backed by the West. Allah gave them victory and Afghanistan got independence from Russia. After that America and Mujahidin fell among themselves because America deceived them when they enforced Shariah in Afghanistan. America labeled these freedom fighters as Terrorists and America initiated a war against them whom America calls War on Terror.

The Afghan Jihad marked the Revival of Jihad. Osama Bin Laden was the hero of that war. He was the Mujaddid of his time because he appeared at the beginning of 1500 Hijri century and a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad confirms that A Mujjadid will appear at the beginning of each century.He was the Mujjadid of 15^th century Hijri. Jihad spread to other parts of the world.

The second Imam Mehdi (The guided Imam ) of our time is Mansoor(Zawahiri).

Ka'b said: "The Mansur (Victorious) is a Mahdi ... will be successful in fighting the Romans and in the battles for 20 years. Then, he dies as a martyr in the Big Battle, along with two thousand, all of them are princes and commanders of battalions. The Muslims have never been afflicted with a greater calamity after the death of the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H.." (Nuaim bin Hammad's Kitab Al-Fitan)

Ayman az Zawahiri who is Mansoor has been also called Mehdi (the guided one) will rule the Jamaah from 2011 to 2032,and the great war , Malhama al Kubra, will be fought in 2032. The 20 years is a rough estimate .The real duration of his rule is 21 years. The above Hadith also confirms that Malhama al Kubra (Armageddon ) will be fought between America and Al Qaeda. America will lead the forces of dajjal while Al Qaeda will lead the forces of Islam.

1979: Revival of Jihad

As I stated above that Revival of Jihad began in 1979 at the hands of Osama Bin Laden.

Zu Mukhammar said I heard the Messenger of Allah say,

 " You will make a Hudna (Truce Agreement) with the Romans (Europeans), and together you and them will invade an enemy (located) behind you. You will be victorious, take much booty, and you will leave. Then, you will camp on a hilly pasture. When one of the Romans will approach (the Muslim army), raise a cross and says "The Cross has won", one of the Muslims will get angry and take off the Cross.

Then, the Romans will trick (bluff or deceive) you, and gather (prepare) for the Malhama (War). They will gather an army against you and come against you with eighty banners, each banner followed by 10,000 (or 12,000) men." (Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah)

 The enemy mentioned in the above Hadith was Russia. Russia occupied Afghanistan in 1979. Mujahidin from all over the world  headed towards Afghanistan to do Jihad for the liberation of Afghanistan. They were backed by the West. Allah gave them victory and Afghanistan got independence from Russia. After that America and Mujahidin fell among themselves because America deceived them when they enforced Shariah in Afghanistan. America labeled these freedom fighters as Terrorists and America initiated a war against them whom America calls War on Terror.

The Afghan Jihad marked the Revival of Jihad. Jihad spread to other parts of the world.

Three Armies

Abu Dawud narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Hawalah [radhiyallahu 'anhu] that he said: "The Messenger of Allah [sallallahu 'alayhi wa-sallam] said:

"Matters will run their course until you become three armies: an army in Sham, an army in 'Iraq, and an army in the Yemen."

I said: "O Messenger of Allah, choose which one I should join." He said:

"You should go to Sham, for it is the best of Allah's lands, and the best of His slaves will be drawn there. And if you refuse, then you should go to the Yemen and drink from its wells. For Allah has guaranteed me that He will look after Sham and its people."

“The army in Sham” refers to Palestinians because in the age of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) , this area was called Sham. Palestinians are the oldest army which is fighting against the occupation of Bait-ul-Maqdis from the very first day.

“army in Iraq” refers to the army in Iraq which declared Jihad against America when the latter occupied Iraq. It was initially headed by Zarqawi.

“an army in the Yemen” refers to the army which established Imarah in the province of And Abyan of Yemen. This army was initially headed by Anwer al Awlaki.

This army is also mentioned in another Hadith below,

 Ahmad narrated from Ibn 'Abbas [radhiyallahu 'anhuma] that he said: "The Messenger of Allah [sallallahu 'alayhi wa-sallam] said:

"There will come out of 'Adn Abyan twelve thousand supporting Allah and His Messenger, who will be the best of people between my time and theirs."

Other Armies

There are some other armies which are not mentioned in Hadiths but they are present in the Islamic world. For example, there are fighters in Chechnya. There are fighters in Turkistan. There is Al Shabab in Somalia. There are freedom fighters in Kashmir. There is an army in Philippines etc. All these armies are fighting for the liberation of occupied Muslim lands and for the establishment of Islamic Shariah. They call it Emirates. All these armies are under the command and control of Al-Qaeda which clearly prove that Al-Qaeda is the Army from the East.

We can see that the revolution which began in Khurrasan has  now spread to other parts of the world.

Destruction of Medina

It is proved from Hadiths that America will attack Medina and Medina will be badly destroyed.

Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal,

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The flourishing state of Jerusalem will be when Yathrib is in ruins, the ruined state of Yathrib(Medina)  will be when the great war comes, the outbreak of the great war will be at the conquest of Constantinople and the conquest of  Constantinople when the Dajjal (Antichrist) comes forth. He (the Prophet) struck his thigh or his shoulder with his hand and said: This is  as true as you are here or as you are sitting (meaning Mu'adh ibn Jabal)

“The flourishing state of Jerusalem” means the demolition of Al Aqsa mosque. The Jews as well as the Christians want to build a Temple at the same place where Al Aqsa mosque is standing today. They want to build this temple for Dajjal. After  the construction of the Temple , Jerusalem will become the spiritual capital for the Jews and the Christians. It will give impetus to tourism. The Pilgrims from all over the world will visit this Temple. This will be flourishing state for Jerusalem.

“When Yathrib(Medina) is in ruins”  means attack on Medina by America in which Medina will be badly destroyed. The main aim of America is to capture Medina and make it the part of Israel. Israel claims that Medina should be part of Israel because before the advent of Islam ,the Jews lived in Medina who were later expelled by Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. from Medina.

The attack on Medina will be when Khilafat is established in Medina. Khilafat will be established in 2022 after the Demolition of Al Aqsa Mosque in 2020.

Attack on Medina

Medina will be attacked when Al Qaeda establishes Khilafat in Medina in the year 2022. they will declare global jihad. In response of the call for Jihad the people from all over the world will migrate to Medina . these people have been called “Guraba” ( the strangers) in Hadiths.

After that America will attack Medina claiming there are terrorists in Medina.Anerica will demand the terrorists should be handed over to America ,the Khalifa will refuse.

“The Romans will say: "We will keep fighting you until you bring out to us every one among you whose origin is not from you.” ( Kitab ul Fitan by Nuaim bin Hammad.)

Here are two long Hadiths.

Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. said,

The Hour (of Resurrection) will not come until the الروم Romans (Europeans, Americans, etc.) land in Al-A'maq (valleys in Antioch, southern Turkey) or in Dabiq (a plain near Aleppo, Syria). An army consisting of the best of the people of the Earth (an international Muslim army) at that time will come out of Medina (in Saudi Arabia) to face them.

When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans will say: ' Do not stand between us and those (Christian Converts to Islam) who were taken away from amongst us. Let us fight with them ' ; and the Muslims will say: 'No! by Allah, we will not stand aside and let you fight our brothers.'

They will then fight. A third (of the Muslim army) will be defeated (& run away), and Allah will never forgive them. A third (of the Muslim army) will be killed and they will be regarded as the best martyrs in the eyes of Allah. A third (of the Muslim army) will conquer and they do not get affected by Fitna (tribulations). They will conquer Constantinople (Istanbul, New York, or a major European city )

While the Muslims are busy distributing the spoils (booty) of war, after hanging their swords by the olive trees, Satan will shout: 'The Anti-Christ has taken your place among your family (or in your land).' The Muslims will then come out, but will find out that it is not true. And when they arrive to Al-Sham (Damascus or Syria), he (Anti-Christ) will come out.  While they (Muslims) are preparing to fight him, and drawing up their ranks, prayer time will come and then, Jesus the son of Mary will descend and lead (or join) them in prayer. When  Allah's enemy (Anti-Christ) sees him (Jesus), it will dissolve just as the salt dissolves in water. If Jesus were to leave him (Anti-Christ) alone, he (Anti-Christ) would melt to death anyway, but Allah will have him (Anti-Christ) killed by his (Jesus') hand, and he (Jesus) will show the Muslims his (Anti-Christ's) blood on his (Jesus') spear." (Sahih Muslim)

Abdullah ibn 'Amr talking about the third War with the Romans said: "A boy will appear among the Romans who will age in a year as a boy would age in ten years. He will live in the lands of the Romans, and the Romans will make him their king.

So he will say: 'For how long will we allow these people to overcome us in part of our own land? I will certainly go out and fight them until I overcome them in the lands they have taken, or they overcome me in what remains under my feet.'

So he will go out with seventy thousand ships until he lands between Akka (in Palestine) and Al-Arish (in Egypt),  then he will set his ships on fire. The people of Egypt will leave Egypt, and the people of AshSham (Greater Syria) will leave AshSham, and they will all go to the Arabian Peninsula. That is the day about which Abu Huraira used to say: "Woe to the Arabs from an evil that has approached." A rope and a well-fed riding animal will be dearer to a man on that day than his family and his wealth.

So the Arabs will seek help from the bedouins, then they will marsh until they reach Amaq (valleys) of Antioch where the greatest of the battles will occur, until the horses are soaked in blood up to their flanks. Allah will withhold victory from all, until the angels will say: "O Lord, will You not help Your believing slaves?" So, He will say: "Not until they have had many martyrs."

So, one third will be killed, one third will retreat, and one third will remain patient (keep fighting). Allah will cause the retreating third to be swallowed by the earth.

The Romans will say: "We will keep fighting you until you bring out to us every one among you whose origin is not from you." So, the Ajam (non-Arab Muslims) will come out and say: " May Allah forbid that we should go back to Kufr (unbelief) after Al-Islam!" That is when Allah [t] (God) will show his wrath, strike with His sword and stab with His spear. None of them (Romans) will remain alive, not even someone to tell about what happened.

And they (the Muslims) will not pass any city without conquering it by chanting Takbir (saying Allah Akbar, meaning is Greater), until they arrive to the City of the Romans, and they will find that its gulf has dried up. So Allah [ta'ala] will make them conquer it, and on that day, there will be an over-supply of virgins, and the spoils will be distributed using large scoops."  (Nuaim bin Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan)

The above Hadiths clearly that the Romans (America ) will attack Medina. Their base camp will be in Dabiq and from there they will attack Medina. The following Hadith proves that they will not be able to capture Medina but they will bombard Medina and it will become a ruin as Hadith points out.They will reach as close as Khyber which is 60 kilo meters from Medina.

In a narration attributed to Abdullah bin Umar, the Prophet Mohammad  said:  " Soon, the Muslims will be besieged up to Medina, such that their most distant frontier outpost will be Salah (around Khyber, meaning close to Medina)." (Abu Dawud)

In the era preceding Qiyamah (Resurrection), the Romans will control/govern the whole world. The Romans will reach Khyber (close to Medina). (Muhaddith Shah Rafi-uddin, Bab Al-Qiyamah)

Ibn Shurayh said: "I have heard someone saying that they (enemies) will be twelve banners (battalions or brigades ), with twelve thousand (fighter) under each banner. So the Muslims will assemble with their ruler in Bayt Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) and decide to go (retreat) to the City of the Messenger(Medina), until their furthest outpost will be at As-Sarh and Khyber." (Nuaim bin Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan)

Malhama al Kubra

This is the last battle between the Muslims and America. This war is called Armageddon in the Bible. After being defeated by the Muslim army, the Americans will gather its forces to launch a final attack on Islam and wipe it out completely from the face of the earth. They will arrange 1 million forces in the area and will launch a final assault. The Muslims this time will go forth from Medina and face them. 99 out of 100 troops will die in this war. The Romans (America ) will once again be defeated and after that they will not be able to attack Medina any more. This war will be fought in 2032.

Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja'ee said that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H. during the Battle of Tabuk said to him: "....There will be Hudna (turce) between you and Bani Al-Asfar (means Yellow People and it refers to the Romans). Then, they will deceive you (break the truce) and will march against you under eighty banners and each banner will have ten thousand (soldiers)." (Bukhari,  Ibn Majah)

Al-Hakim narrated from Dhu Mikhbar, the brother of an-Najashi [radhiyallahu 'anhuma], that he heard the Messenger of Allah [sallallahu 'alayhi wa-sallam] saying:

"You will make a truce with the Romans, and you and them will fight together against an enemy beyond them. You will be victorious and win many spoils, and you will come back and settle on a hilly field. So one of the men from the Romans will say: "The cross has triumphed!" and a man from the Muslims will say: "Rather it is Allah Who triumphed." So they will argue with each other, and the Muslim will rush upon their cross, which will not be far away, and knock it down. The Romans will rush upon the breaker of their cross and kill him. The Muslims will rush for their weapons, but they will be killed, and Allah will honour that group of the Muslims with martyrdom. So the Romans will say to their ruler: "We have sufficed you the strength of the Arabs." They will then break the truce and gather for the Malhamah, coming to you under eighty banners, under each banner twelve thousand men."

Yusayr bin Jabir said, "A red wind (or storm) erupted in the city of Kufa. Afterwards, a man came shouting and repeating the same words, 'O Abdullah bin Mas'ud! the Hour has come.' He (Yusayr) then said that he stood up after he was leaning (on his side) and said, " ' The Hour (of Resurrection) will not come until people will not be able to divide inheritance, nor rejoice over booty'. Pointing toward Al-Sham (Syria), he said: 'An enemy will gather forces against the Muslims, and the Muslims will gather forces against them.' A companion asked: 'Do you mean the Romans (Europeans) ?' He said: 'Yes, and at that time there will be fierce fighting. The Muslims will send a battalion (or brigade) to fight to death, and not return unless they are victorious. They will fight until night intervenes, neither side will be victorious, and the detachment will perish. (On the second day) The Muslims will send another battalion (or brigade) to fight to death, and not return unless they are victorious. They will fight until night intervenes, neither side will be victorious, and the detachment will perish. (On the third day) The Muslims will send another battalion (or brigade) to fight to death, and not return unless they are victorious. They will fight until night intervenes, neither side will be victorious, and the detachment will perish. On the fourth day, the remaining Muslims will go to fight, and Allah will make their enemy be defeated. This will be a battle the like of which has never been seen, to the extent that even birds flying (above the battle field) will not pass without falling down dead. Out of a family of one hundred, only one man will survive. So, how could he rejoice over any war booty or divide any inheritance? While they are doing this, they will hear of an even bigger calamity: they will hear a scream amongst them that the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) has appeared among their families that they left behind. They will discard what they have in their hands and proceed. They will send ten horsemen as an expedition force. The Messenger of Allah  said, 'I know their names and their fathers name and the colors of their horses. They will be the best horsemen on the face of Earth.' " (Sahih Muslim)

Book 37, Number 4285:

Narrated AbudDarda': The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The

place of assembly of the Muslims at the time of the war will

be in al-Ghutah near a city called Damascus, one of the best

cities in Syria.

The Status of the Defenders of Medina

The defenders of Medina will have the same status which the Sahaba (The companions) of Prophet Muhammad had.

Book 37, Number 4294:

Narrated AbuHurayrah: Salih ibn Dirham said: We went on the

pilgrimage and met a man who asked us: Is there a town near

you called al-Ubullah? We said: Yes. He said: Is there any of

you who will undertake to pray two or four rak'ahs on my

behalf in the mosque of al-Ashshar, stating "they are on

behalf of AbuHurayrah"? He (AbuHurayrah) said: I heard my

friend Abul Qasim (peace_be_upon_him) say: On the Day of

Resurrection Allah will raise martyrs from the mosque of

al-Ashshar, who will be the only ones to rise with the martyrs

of Badr.

The Appearance of Imam Mehdi A.S.

As we have seen above the battle between the followers of Dajjal and the followers of Imam Mehdi A.S. Now it is time for the last confrontation between Dajjal and Imam Mehdi A.S. You must keep in mind that America is the the leader of Dajjalic forces but after Malhama al Kubra , Armageddon in 2032 , America will be punished by Allah and America will be destroyed in 2036. For details about the Destruction of America ,you can read my book, “Destruction of America prophesied in the Quran and the Bible.”

We find the best description of Imam Mehdi A.S.and his Mission in the Bible. Here I quote some verses from the last book of Bible, the Revelation. For more details about the prophesies of this book , you can read my book , “The Revelation: Dreams and Visions of John Decoded.”

John sees visions and dreams about  Imam Mehdi, the Messiah. He says,

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it

were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and

see. And I saw, and behold a white horse : and he that sat on him had a bow ; and a crown was given unto him : and he went forth

conquering, and to conquer.” (Revelation 6:1,2)

As we have seen so far that America and its Allies are killing the innocent people especially the muslims. The blood of the innocent is the major cause behind the destruction of America. So the Messiah is one who will protect the life , honour and property of the innocent Muslims. That’s why the Bible says that he will come with a bow and conquer the whole world so that there is peace and protection for everyone.

“And I saw, and behold a white horse : and he that sat on him had a bow ; and a crown was given unto him : and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”

As long as there are evil forces dominating the world ,there can be no peace in the world. So it is necessary to subdue these evil forces otherwise this world will become a hell.

John says,

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse ; and he that

sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he

doth judge and make war. (Revelation 19:11)

(This verse of the Bible clearly confirms that the Messiah will fight against the forces of evil. He will do Jihad against the forces of Evil.)

“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns ;

and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood : and his name is

called The Word of God. (Revelation19:12,13)

“clothed with a vesture dipped in blood” refers to so much fighting that his clothes will be dipped in blood. It proves the Quranic point of view that Jihad is necessary for the dominance of Islam. Without sword Islam cannot dominate the world. So those Muslims who says that Islam is a Religion of peace and they propagate that the Muslims should live peacefully side by side with the non-muslims must learn something from these verses of the Bible.

“And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white

horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should

smite the nations ; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron : and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty

God.” (Revelation 19:14,15)

(You must keep in mind that he is the same person who is referred  to in a letter to  the church of Thyatira , “a man who will rule with a rod of iron.” He is the man who will conquer the whole world. The claim of the Christians that Jesus will rule over the world is false claim.

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations :

and he shall rule them with a rod of iron ; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers.”

John further says,

“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King

of Kings, and Lord of Lords”. (Revelation 19:16)

(So we can says that  Imam Mehdi A.S., the Messiah is the King of the Kings .)

Vision about the Birth of Imam Mehdi A.S.,The Messiah

John sees a vision about the birth of the Messiah. He says,

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven ; a woman clothed

with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a

crown of twelve stars : and she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven ; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth : and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, or to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron : and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” (Revelation 12:1-6)

(According to the vision seen by John, a woman gave birth to a man child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. The Dragon who is infact Satan tried to kill the child and his mother. God protected them both. The woman most probably with the child fled into the wilderness where the child will stay there for a thousand two hundred and threescore days which is 1230 days.

The days are infact years. So the Messiah will appear 1230 years after  his birth . Untill then he will not appear before the world. According to my calculation Imam Mehdi A.S. may appear in 2039 after three years of Dukhan, the torment which will hit this world in 2036. )

This prophesy about the birth and appearance of the Messiah proves the authenticity of the Belief of the Muslims that Imam Mehdi A.S. was born 255 A.H.( Note this is not the exact date of his birth.There is a difference of opinion about his birth.) He went into Occultism after his birth and will appear again in the End Time before Jesus P.B.U.H.

Imam Mehdi A.S. is the twelfth Imam (Leader) of the Muslim Ummah from the household (Ahle Bait) of the Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. He was born in 255 A.H. His father’s name was Hassan Askari.

Imam Mehdi A.S. will fight against Dajjal, the Anti Christ and his forces. John confirms this point of view when he sees a vision. He says

“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies,

gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse,

and against his army.(Revelation 20:19)

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that

wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that

had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his

image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with

brimstone. (Revelation 20:20)

(So all those who will fight against Imam mehdi will be destroyed.)

John says,

“And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse.” (Revelation20:21)

Last Words

As we have seen above ,in the End Time of 72 years, it is a final battle between the forces of Evil and the forces of Good. The forces of Evil are led by America and the forces of Good are led by the Army from the East. The former is paving way for Dajjal and the Latter is paving way for Imam Mehdi A.S., who is the real Messiah of the Muslim Ummah.

So in the end  Dajjal and Dajjalic forces will be destroyed and Islam will dominate the world. That will be the best period of the End Time.

May Allah protect us from the fitna of Dajjal. Amen!
