6]
Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that
He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them
successors, and will firmly establish for themtheir religion with
which He is pleased andgive them, in place of their fear, security.
"They worship Me, not associating anything with Me. Any who are
unbelievers after that, such people are deviators." (Surat an-Nur, 55)
Hazrat Mahdi (as), one of my children, comes intobeing, by the
blessing of Allah, when the Day of Judgment approaches andthe
believers' hearts weaken because of death,hunger, the disappearance of
the Sunnah, the emergence ofinnovations, and the loss of the means by
which to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong. His justice and
prosperity will ease the believers' hearts, and friendship and love
will settle between the non-Arab and the Arab nations. (Al-Muttaqi
al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 66)
According to the hadiths of Rasulullah (pbuh), the Mahdi and Jesus the
Messiah must have appeared by now. There isno alternative. Look,
thereare eight hadiths about it.Imam Suyuti says it. Rasulullah says
that 5600 years of the 7000-year lifespan of the world have passed.
What remains is 1400-1500 years. So everything will happen between
those 1400 and 1500 years. Since we are now in 1433, Jesus the Messiah
and the Mahdi must already have arrived. That is so clear as to leave
no room for any alternative explanation. (A9 TV, May 19, 2012)
The Timing Of The Coming Of The Prophet Jesus (as) And Hazrat Mahdi (as)
"The subject of the Mahdi"is one that has always occupied an important
place in the Islamic world,ever since the Age of Bliss.Hoping that
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be instrumental in making the afflictions
Muslims have been going through, the intellectual systems based on
denial, unfair and unjust practices, conflicts and wars pervading the
worldto come to an end, believers have always awaited the coming of
this blessed individual in their own times and sincerely prayed to
Allah for it to come about.
The hadiths of our Prophet (saas) speak of Muslims eagerly awaiting
the coming of the ProphetJesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) ever since
the time of the Ashab al-Kiram (Companions of the Prophet [saas]). In
the hadiths, our Prophet (saas) also tells the believers who will live
in that time "to find and follow Hazrat Mahdi (as), even by crawling
over ice," and advises those who live to see this happy age to strive
to be worthy of this blessing from Allah:
Ibn Abi Shayba and Nuaim Ibn Hammad in Kitab Al-Fitan, and Ibn Majah
and Abu Na'im quoted from Ibnu Mas'ud. He said that: "... He
[HazratMahdi (as)] owns the earth and fills the earth with justice
which was previously filled with oppression and violence. WHOEVER OF
YOU LIVES TOSEE HIM, LET HIM CRAWL OVER SNOW TO HIM AND JOIN HIM.
Because he is Hazrat Mahdi (as)." (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi
Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 14)
This blissful time, for which people have been deeply longing for
hundreds of years will, according to the indications in the hadiths,
last "for more than half a century." And little time now remains until
these historic glad tidings, of such great importance to the Islamic
world, finally come about. By Allah's leave, the timing given bythe
Prophet (saas) in the hadiths for the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is
now imminent. The century weare living in, or "Hijri 1400s", is "the
century of the Mahdi," by Allah's leave. "The coming of the Prophet
Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as)," that people have been keenly
awaiting and praying for over the centuries will, by His leave, take
place in this century. Sincere Muslims living in this century and who
eagerly, hopefully and enthusiastically await the coming of these
historic individuals will, insha'Allah, be able to enjoy the honor of
being among the Prophet Jesus' (as) and Hazrat Mahdi's (as) helpers,
friends and close followers. They will be able to support the Prophet
Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) in their intellectual struggle
against irreligious movements, in spreading the moral values of Islam
across the world, in uniting the Islamic world and in causing the
Christian world to follow the Qur'an and the true faith.
The hadiths of our Prophet (saas), books written by great Sunni
scholars, and all the statements by worthy scholars who were mujaddids
(revivers) and mujtahids (scholars who derive legal rulings) of their
own times, all point to the present century. Almost all the events
known as "The Portents of the End Times" have come about one after the
other "like the beads on a necklace."
