an oppressive rule and it will last amidst you so long as Allah wishes it to last
shall
wishes to remove that age then what will come after
this age of tyranny and oppression listen o Muslims and glad tidings
who will lead in accordance to the teachings of the prophet
this rightly guided khalif is the one about whom one thousand and fifty narrations have
come of which four are sahih and the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
and with regards to him he is famous amidst us as the Mahdi and this is part of the beliefs of the
Sunnah that a person will come who will be from the lineage of the prophet
says
from my lineage as in from my progeny from the children of Fatima and then he sallallahu
alaihi wasallam says his name will be my name so his name will be muhammad and his father's
name will be my father's name so he will be muhammad ibn Abdullah and as the earth was filled
with wrong and oppression he will fill it with justice and peace and this this righteous ruler
from the family of the prophet
will prepare him for the office of leadership in one night
so the Mahdi doesn't know he is the Mahdi and the Mahdi doesn't have the competencies of the Mahdi
until one night in one night Allah will transform him the hadith mention that a king will die
and the Jazeera and the Arab peninsula and the sons or three sons of a king will fight and
quarrel over leadership and to avoid the squirrel this man Muhammad ibn Abdullah will leave Madinah
in secret and go to mecca because he doesn't want to be involved in the conflict
nor does he want people to turn towards him so when he goes to Makkah his aim is to avoid
getting tangled up in this leadership struggle yet people follow him from Madinah into mecca
and they find him and they take him out and they bring him to the Kaaba and they between this as in
and Ibrahim they will make baya to him when he doesn't want it
you with me that didn't sound very convincing
so they will make bay'a to him and as soon as they have pledged allegiance two things will happen
number one an army will march out from syria to attack this progeny of the Rasool and the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam listen carefully is in the house of Israel and he is asleep and in
his sleep he starts to move he looks uncomfortable he's displaying what he's never displayed before
discomfort and sleep to the extent that he's moving then he got up so she said ya Rasulullah
i have seen you do what you normally do not do so the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
strange is the situation an army will come from them from syria
intending the house of Allah from my ummah seeking a man from my progeny to attack him
an army will come campaigning towards the Kaaba until it reached the baida and baida
is an expanse of land between mccain and Madinah a flat desert land when it reaches there the prophet
the earth will suck them in their first and their last
in another cow one person or a couple of people will be left just to tell the tale
so this is one of the signs that this one is the one the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam intended first that his name will be my name
and his name the name of his father will be my father's name second an army will come
to attack him and he will be unarmed and the army will be destroyed by Allah alone
so when this happens realize that this is the one and the people that realize it
initially or the first batch that go towards him is from our lands from khorasan the black
flags will rise from the areas of afghanistan and the flags will come towards him and they
will traverse through the land until they come and help of the Mahdi and his time is a difficult era
the Rasool says it in an eloquence befitting the majesty of the Rasool listen carefully Muslims
you will campaign in the Arab peninsula and Allah will open it
then there will be a campaign against the Persians foreign
will come and Allah will open it as then we'll let you conquer it
so the age of the Mahdi is an age of intense struggle and the hadith says
he will stay with you for seven years and maybe eight and if it really extends nine years
and at the last campaign the Muslims will come
and the other side its opposition will come to face it and the opposition is so huge
iet banners 80 different flags under each flag will be 14 000 men is it 14 or 12. 12 thousand men
offset fourteen if they've got a wrong that's the thing and anyway so between those two
and when the two sides meet and the Muslims see this a third of them will run away
and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam says allah will never accept their repentance ever
because running away reduces and destroys the morale of everyone standing
so then the campaign starts and the battle is hot in its intense and a third of the Muslims will die
and a third will be victorious
just a third will be victorious and they will be there on the battlefield collecting the remnants
and the booty of war and the hadith says from one tribe 99 have died and one person has left
so what joy will he have at victory and what joy will he have at collecting booty
so you would think after such a calamity after such a colossal engagement or what is referred to
in the books that preceded us as armageddon you would have expected issues to become more
relaxed yet as they have just become victorious and are collecting the things of the battlefield
a voice will come out to them that all Muslims the dajjal has come in your lands and the first of the
the first of the major signs is the advent of the the jail or the antichrist
so the imam al-Mahdi will send 10 people
10 riders to go and investigate and scout see if the news is correct and the Rasool says
i know their names and i know the names of their fathers and i know the color of their horses
they will be the best riders of the day so they will go and see ah the calamity has come the
dajjal has come who is this the jail the first of the big signs of qiyamah and understand when
the signs the major signs are unleashed they will follow each other like beads on a necklace
the major signs are like beads on a necklace when the bead is when the
necklace is cut one will come after the other so that the jaw comes where does he come from
actually let's describe him the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam says
has one of his eyes obliterated like as in wiped out it discovered
on his forehead is written careful and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam separated
every believer can read it whether he's literate or illiterate
and one eye is wiped out as in it's covered the second eye
is damaged and the the word of the hadith says it has shrunk and it uses the same word that
describes when when grapes you know shrivel in the sun and become you know wrinkly and small
so the one eye will be covered the other eye will be like a worn out on
old or wrinkly grape it will be squeezed down between his forehead will be written
careful the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam described him his hair will be curly
his legs will be arced he walks a little different he is stubby strongly built
and his start or where he comes out from again will be from the area of qurasan and the
description of the prophet sallallahu being from that region i am even deducing who it will be with
so the prophet described the people that will come with him
and he uses the word 70 000 of the jews of isfahan
and describing the faces it resembles the area between
afghanistan and and Iran some of the inhabitants there the prophet says they will have flat faces
like the shield and their cheekbones will be raised and their faces will be meaty
and they will be wearing cloaks around them do the mats
and his first time that he becomes evident will be in the land of the Arabs
and he will travel he will roam the earth and the hadith says
not a village will be missed except he has gone to it and what kalam
and SubhanAllah listen to the hadith with regards to him the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam says
listen there is no calamity on the face of this earth from the time of adam til qiyamat come
greater than the calamity of the dajjal
