so the Mahdi will flee to Makkah wanting Allah to protect him then what will happen the next
hadith and this is the only hadith in Bukhari and Muslim that well not the only I should say
not the only one of two i should say that indirectly mentions the Mahdi indirectly
so this hadith is Muslim the highest level what does it say Aisha said that the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam one day he grew restless because he had a dream and then he said i saw something in
my dream that made me restless he's telling Aisha it was wondrous amazing strange i saw that a group
of people from my ummah they were attacking the Kaaba and they reached the land called
if you go to haram you know ajad you know ajad hospital ajaya the road
before it is baida so if you're going to makkah from ajay direction before you get to ajad you
will go through the land of baida or the valley of so the prophet said they will go through al-baidah
and allah will cause the earth to open up and the whole army will come crashing and be destroyed
this hadith is where muslim does it mention the mahdi no
no mention what does it mention an army of muslims is attacking the kaab why would the
army of muslims attack the ka'ba go back to the last hadith in abu dhabi which is not in
muslim a man from madina shall flee the mahdi shall flee seek refuge in the cab
and the people will give him baya so then we add this hadith the governments of the time will
become terrified who is this political agitator send them the troops this is what the 1939 group
wanted to happen this is what they banked on we will be that group let the government come
and allah will destroy the army but as we said you cannot do that in any case this hadith mentions
that the army will be destroyed by allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and this by the way when this happens
this is the sign the mahdi has come until that happens nobody can claim to be the mighty
anybody who claims to be the mandi is lying because even the mahdi himself will say no
no it can't be me i'm not good enough he will deny it and this is what true leadership does
true leadership they don't want to be leaders they will deny no no like he chose choose them not me
this is what the real leader does so the mahdi will grudgingly take the bay'a the army will be
sent when the army is destroyed by allah this is the sign everybody now knows this is the mahdi
until that happens please brothers and sisters don't be fooled by the sweet talk of the sweet
talkers don't be fooled by the tongue of the vipers there is no mahdi that will preach he
is the mahdi when allah shows the sign then we will all know that this person is indeed the
mahdi and uh we also have the hadith as well that uh the hadith is in the muslim
the hadith is in the muslim ahmed that the prophet said a man shall be given the oath
of allegiance between the rukan and the makam a man shall be given the oath of allegiance between
and and no one shall attack the kaaba except its own people i'll explain this
so do not ask about the destructions of the Arabs at that point in time and then the ethiopians are
going to come and destroy the kaaba and it will never be worshipped after that now this hadith
is cryptic as is most a hadith of the end of times but it tells us a number of things first
and foremost the Mahdi will be between the rukun and the makaam as we said uh i made a mistake i
said scratch that when the process says he means hajj sorry my mistake my mind wasn't thinking
whenever the rukun is mentioned it's the hajj wood so between the hajj and the ibrahim so between the
hajjar Aswad and the makami ibrahim in the time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi we will send them
in the time of the prophecies of the Makkah ibrahim was attached to the kaaba it was
connected to the Kaaba so there was the space of five feet between the hajjar aswad and the makam
one year he was doing hajj and he saw all of the crowd jostling and shoving and the makaam was
making it difficult so he said you know what i'll make life easier for them i will make them
a calm some distance so that the hajjaj can fit between the house of allah and the makkah ibrahim
and he thought that was sufficient space for the hajjaj to go and do hajj but subhanallah
that was four hundred and forty years ago and now as you know the makam even in low season even if
you go at three a.m in the month of february you will still find people you know packed between
the mukham and whatnot so this is uh the sunnah of um that he moved the mccomb back otherwise
was connected to the kaaba anyway what is the phrase and none shall attack the ka'ba
except its own people this is a blessing from allah and a sadness to us the blessing from
allah no non-muslim army will ever attack mecca this is a blessing from allah let all
these islamophobes give their false memes and threats and whatnot no non-muslim army will ever
even attempt to attack makkah it's not going to happen as long as there are muslims in
this world makkah will never be attacked by non-muslims but who will attack makkah yes
and in islamic history there are a number of dynasties including the current dynasty that
is there they had to physically attack and remove the sharif family whose great great
great grandson is now the jordan site his great great great grandfather was attacked by the great
grandfather of the current king over here and mecca was attacked to get rid of one dynasty
it wasn't the only time it was it will not be the last time as well in the course of islamic history
makkah was attacked dozens of times by muslims for politics for political dynasties and including
many attacks like these ones by the fanatical groups as well and including actual wars between
dynasties for the sake of kingdoms so the prophet sasson predicted no one shall attack
mecca except its own people and this is sadness for us but at least some comfort
that externally allah will protect the ka'ba until there are no muslims left in the earth when there
are no muslims left then what's going to happen there shall be an army from habasha we'll talk
about that inshallah in our wednesday lectures there's an army from ethiopia that will come
and destroy the ka'ba when there are no more muslims this is towards the end of times
before the actual trumpet is blown and that is towards the end of times after uh after the
muslims have uh disappeared from earth of the uh of the characteristics of the mahdi as well
of the characters of the mahdi as well that are mentioned in the authentic hadith is that he
shall be the leader of the entire muslim ummah and this is an amazing phenomenon the likes of
which we have not seen since the times of early islam since the times of early islam our ummah
has been disunited politically since the times of really even the ummah divided them into two as we
know and the wars took place and since that point in time even the at one point in time we had three
ruling one of them in cairo one of them in baghdad and one of them
and throughout Islamic history we have had many dynasties who were acting as if they were
even if they didn't call themselves the ummah has never been united politically since the time of
the Rashid but there shall come one time when it will be united again and that will be when
it will be under the time of the Mahdi and that point in time will be of the greatest periods
known to Islamic history our prophecism praised the Mahdi in a number of a hadith
and he said and this is one of those that is in Sahih Muslim so it is an authentic hadith but
the word Mahdi is not mentioned the prophet said towards the end of times there shall be a Khalifah
who shall give money to the poor and he won't even count it he's praising it's going to be
generous and another hadith that towards the end of times there shall be uh the the the imam the
imam shall be from amongst sorry let me rephrase that sorry not towards the time the hadith begins
essentially it translates as can you imagine but the wording is how will you be but when
the process said how will you be what it means in English is can you imagine can you imagine
that time can you imagine a time when esab will come down from the heavens this hadith
and your imam is from amongst you
and isa will come down at fajr time and he will be asked by the imam come lead salah
and isa will say no the akama was called for you so he will be led by one of you
as an honor to this hadith it is authentic does it mention the word Mahdi no what does it mention
this is one of the most authentic hadith about the concept of the mahdi who will have the honor that
isa will come down and he is the imam who will have the honor that isa will pray behind somebody
from our ummah that's what the prophet said he will be from our ummah and isa will pray behind
him who is that person he is none other than the mahdi so the concept of the mahdi is found
in bukhari and muslim without the term mahdi but the term mahdi is found in every single other book
in another hadith also in abu dhabi we learned that the mahdi shall rule for seven years in the
authentic hadith it says he shall rule for seven years so we have a time frame as well that the
mahdi will be powerful the mahdi will not be alive because he's going to be alive for many years but
he will rule for seven years so he will establish his authority his dominion and he will rule for
seven years we also learn and this hadith is in sahih muslim so this is another one of those
hadith that mentions the mahdi indirectly we also learned that there shall be a great war
taking place and the muslims will be successful and a rumor will be spread that that the jal has
come out so their imam will take the army to try to find the jal but it will be found that the
rumor is not true one they have found the rumor is not true lo and behold the jaw will come at that
point in time so we learn from this again the word matthew doesn't come we learn from this when will
the mahdi come before the judge if you attended on wednesday my lecture series i'm giving i said
the mahdi is the last of the minor signs that links to the major signs now you understand why
the mahdi is the last of the minor signs that links to the major signs in the time of the mahdi
the jail will come the muslims will attempt to fight the jal back and forth will they
be successful no no one can kill the dajjal not even the mahdi who can kill the dajjal only one
and that is east heaven imagine but what will the mahdi do the mahdi will provide peace and
stability for the people with him those that are with the mahdi some protection will be given
some safety will be there and they will be running and fighting in various places many
will die shaheed but the group will still be there until the hadith mentions in sahih muslim this one
the this army will be in damascus in damascus and damesh and they will be praying in the umayyad
and pretty much by unanimous consensus the white minaret
is the minaret that was built one of the earliest masjids that is still
uh standing today and being used today is the umayyad mosque built by abdul malik
1350 years old the same structure continuous masjid and he built it with a beautiful white
minaret perhaps not even knowing the hadith and the hadith mentions that the muslims will pray
in damascus in front of the white minaret and as the akama is given for salat al-fajr lo and
behold they will see isa coming down holding on to two angels and he will come down they will pause
fashion until he comes down you don't have to ask identity when somebody comes from the heavens okay
it's pretty obvious who that person is going to be you i don't have to wonder already that the
job has come already things have happened they're waiting for him to come they're literally waiting
when he when is isa gonna come so they're there in damascus waiting waiting waiting
when he comes they know exactly who it is so as soon as he comes down the imam hadid the imam
your imam will offer him the salah and he will say no the iqamah was given for you you go ahead
and lead and then after this there is no mention of the mahdi whatsoever this is the final mention
why because obviously with the coming of isa the mahdi is eclipsed now the job of the mahdi is done
does he live longer does he die right after this is he alive to see the child killed
not a single peep in the hadith nothing goes silent we don't know nobody can say anything
he might be alive till the end of times he might die a natural death right after fajr we don't know
his role is gone his job has been done what was his job for those seven years
to bring stability and isa at a time of great tyranny the world is having global issues the
muslim ummah is on the decline and the mahdi will come and cheer people up and make people
realize there is hope there is those who stick with him they will be united with the ummah and
there shall be peace where he is until the dajjal comes when the jail comes the mahdi will just do
whatever he can waiting for isa to come and then isa alaihissalam will come and take over
