Through the true faiths He sent in the past, Almighty Allah has spoken
of a difficult time, the End Times, full of strife, war, oppressionand
troubles, when killing and acts of terror reach a peak, and when there
will be natural disasters and economic crises. Almighty Allah
hasrevealed that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear with the title of
"the guide to faith" as a savior for the whole world in this final
age, when the world will be in a state of terrible disorder, and has
told allmankind about this blessed individual.
These glad tidings have been imparted to both Muslims and religious
Jews in their own holy books. The Qur'an contains important references
to the way of the Mahdi and the globaldominion of the moral values of
Islam. Hadiths handed down from our Prophet (saas) describe Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh) andthe End Times in great detail. In the same way, the
events of the End Times and the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as a
leaderwho will bring peace and security to the whole world are also
clearly set out in the Torah and the Zabur (Psalms). This blessed
individual who will appear in the End Times, described in the Torah
and the Zabur by such names as the MESSIAH, the KING MESSIAH and
SHILOH (the one who is sent, the gift of Allah), is Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh). Therefore, in the End Times in which we are living, and in the
light ofour Lord's promise, it is essential for Muslims andreligious
Jews TO DESIRE THE WAY OF THE MAHDI, ANNOUNCE THE COMING OFHAZRAT
MAHDI (PBUH) AND ENGAGE IN PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES FOR THAT COMING.
This is a major religious obligation that people have to fulfill.
The supporters of the anti-Messiah resort to underhand strategies in
order to conceal the tidings of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)
As we know, there have been supporters of the anti-Messiah at all
times, who have been alarmed by the coming of the prophets and the
mahdissent to various communities at differenttimes and who have waged
campaigns against them. These people have used all their material
powers and mobilized all the means at their disposal in order to wage
intensive campaigns against the prophets and the spiritual leaders of
the time. This is the law of our Lord Allah. Allah creates such a
climate of struggle in this world in order for the value and
importance of the spiritual struggle waged by prophets and messengers
to be properly understood, to increase the rewards of those who follow
them and for them to enjoy great ease and comfort in the Hereafter.
This is atest, a pleasure and a blessing for believers.
In the End Times in which we are living, the same devilish methods are
being used by various forces, and the same underhand tricks are being
resorted to. Cunning efforts are being made to conceal the glad
tidings of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Since the comingof
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in the End Times means acrushing defeat for the
anti-Messiah, THE ANTI-MESSIAH AND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE ENGAGEDIN
INTENSIVE EFFORTS TO CONCEAL THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE MAHDI. One of the
methods employed for that purpose is to bring up the false mahdis and
messiahs who emerged in the past and to try to give the impression
that the Mahdi of the End Times will not be coming. Using this method,
the supporters of the anti-Messiah accuse everyone and all societies
that speak of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) of making empty,
fraudulent promises.
As a result of the anti-Messiah's intensive propaganda, some Muslims
and religious Jews who are awaiting Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) – known as the
King Messiah in the Torah – and who wish to tell others the glad
tidings of his coming, are becoming wearied of the reactions,
criticism and mockery they will attract from people and are retreating
from the fray. Because of their previous experiences and this intense
policy ofintimidation they are very wary and are keeping silent
because of the probability they will be pressurized . In this way,
they are defeated by the anti-Messiah. USING PSYCHOLOGICAL
PRESSURE,INTIMIDATION AND THREATS, THE ANTI-MESSIAH IS TRYING TO
PREVENT MUSLIMS ANDRELIGIOUS JEWS FROM SPEAKING OF HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH)
(THE KING MESSIAH) AND FROM TELLING OTHERS OF HIS COMING.
At this point, some Muslims and religious Jews who believe in the true
Mahdi are actually FALLING FOR THIS TRICK OFTHE ANTI-MESSIAH'S and are
choosing to remain silent because of this totally unnecessary fear on
their part. This snare of the anti-Messiah's has had an effect on some
people as one of the distinguishing features of the End Times.
However, the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) andthe Prophet Jesus
(pbuh)is an absolute certainty and NO PLAN ON THE PARTOF THE
ANTI-MESSIAH CAN POSSIBLY STOP IT.
The true adherents of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) must not fall for the
anti-Messiah's tricks
Rumors of the coming offalse mahdis and the way that the anti-Messiah
will try to hinder the supporters of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) are portents
of the End Times revealed by our Prophet (saas). For that reason, the
appearance of false mahdis and messiahs is actually a portent of the
coming ofHazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Some hadiths on the subject handed down
from our Prophet (saas) read:
The Day of Reckoning will not take place until some thirty liars are
sent, each one claiming to be the Messenger of Allah. (Tirmidhi, Kitab
al-Fitan: 43; Abu Dawud, Kitab ul-Malahim: 16)
The coming of sixty liars, each one claiming he has been sent as a
Messenger from Allah, the Sole Object of Worship. (Al-Muttaqi
al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 36)
Of course the anti-Messiah will seek to hinder Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh),
who will put an end to and inflict a hugedefeat on him by intellectual
means, and his supporters. True believers devoted to Allah with an
intense love know that they will be put through such a test and are
prepared to face such an intellectual struggle. Therefore, the vile
snares, false successes, threats and intimidation on the part of the
anti-Messiah MUSTNOT BE ALLOWED TO FRIGHTEN BELIEVERS, BUT MUST ON THE
CONTRARY INCREASE THEIR FERVOR AND POWER OF COMMUNICATION.
If true believers, be they Muslims or religious Jews, await the coming
of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and have no doubts regarding Allah's promise,
then they must engage in intensive activities to that end. They must
not be deceived by the indoctrination from forces that imagine they
can seek to hinder them or forget the subject entirely. The more these
forces try to make people forget about the coming of Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh), THE MORE DEVOUTBELIEVERS MUST SPEAK ABOUT THE WAY OF THE
MAHDI. The more they praise the glory of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), act as
his vanguard and keep raising the subject, the greater abundance and
blessings they will enjoy. Because of this genuine and sincere
activity, the WAY AHEAD OF THE supporters of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) WILL
BE OPENED UP. There is no doubt that Allah WILL BESTOW THE GREATEST
VICTORY AND THE FINEST OUTCOME on those who praise and prepare the way
for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) who will be sent in the End Times, and who
espouse the way of the Mahdi despite all these intimidatory tactics.
For that reason, no Muslim or religious Jew must be reluctant to speak
of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). On the contrary, it is a most excellent
religious observance for true believers to praise the glory of Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh) IN ORDER TO ENRAGE, WEAR DOWN AND DEFEAT THE
ANTI-MESSIAH. The solution to all the corruption, the disputes and
bloodshed in the world, the oppression and terror, the vice and
irreligion in the End Times, IS TO DESIRE THE COMING OF HAZRAT
MAHDI(PBUH) AND STRIVE TO BRING IT ABOUT. No othertactic or measure
can bring about a solution, unless our Lord so wills it.
True Muslims and religious Jews must honestly and sincerely believe
THAT THE WORLD IS CREATED TO BE METAPHYSICAL, that our Lord Almighty
Allah is unfettered by natural causes, and that if Almighty Allah so
ordains, all images, environments and conditions can change with no
need for naturalcauses behind them. THEY MUST NOT FORGET THAT ALL
POWER LIES WITH ALLAH, LORD OF THE WORLDS, ALONE. They must pray and
strive for Allah's promise to be made good and for the coming of
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Of course Almighty Allah, the Compassionate and
Merciful, will heed true believers' prayers. BY ALAH'S LEAVE, HAZRAT
MAHDI (PBUH) WILL DEFINITELY APPEAR, AND VICTORY WILL GO TO HAZRAT
MAHDI (PBUH) AND HIS GENUINE FOLLOWERS. This is the truth and Allah's
promise. And Allah's promise will definitely be kept.
It is He Who created the heavens and the earth with truth. The day He
says 'Be!' it is. His speech is Truth. The Kingdom will be His on the
Day the Trumpet is blown, the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible. He
is the All-Wise, the All-Aware. (Surat al-An'am. 73)
'' Our Lord ! grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter and save us from the torment of the Fire '' [Ameen]
