Dajjal" written by Mufti Abu Lubaba.

This book is written by an authentic scholar well known in Pakistan but since the book is written in the native language Urdu, many of the people from around the globe are unable to benefit themselves from this marvelous research. Unit - 01 : Under the Patronage of the Elders Contributed By: Muhammad Asad Sahiwal - Pakistan As this book is about the Antichrist (Dajjal) but the topic of Dajjaliyat is exactly at its end. The book begins with the discussion of Hazrat Mehdi Radhi Allah-hu Unhu (may Allah be pleased with him) and afterwards the mention is about the dignified Hazrat Masih (Christ) Alleh-hes-Salam (may the peace be upon him). After getting through the topics of Mehdiwyat and Masihiyat you will be able to see the topic of Dajjaliyat. This is because before mentioning the Antichrist (Dajjal), the remembrance of those spiritual personalities should be made first who are appointed to finish him. The mention of evil forces be made but to destroy these there is no declaration of the forces of virtue, its against the tradition of Shariah (Islamic Laws). Therefore, to reach the actual topic (Dajjaliyat), the reader should wait until he gets through the introductory topics of Mehdiwyat and Masihiyat, and after reading the Masih ul Huda (Christ of Guidance), then he will be able to read the Masih uz Zalallat (Messiah of Evil and Misguidance,). On the front page or in the index of some books there are some attractive topics but those have no mention in the transcript or the issue is not such hot as hot the news was. To the contrary, sometimes it happens that in the transcript the additional matter is discussed with open heart but there is no description on the front page. Under mentioned book belongs to this one category. We cant say with certainty whether its merit or demerit. But it is humbly described that sometimes the purpose of writing overshadows the flaws in the way of writing. The readers are requested to have an oversight of the writing style and keep the purpose before them. Insha-Allah (God willing) the purpose of the book will never disappoint you. The Foremost and the Last: This is one thing. Secondly, although per chronological sequences of the events, first of all Hazrat Mehdi will appear, then Dajjal and afterwards to abolish this great tribulation Hazrat Masih Alleh-hes-Salam will descend from the haven. But as per the arrangement of the transcript the mention of Hazrat Masih Alleh-hes-Salam will be first and that of Dajjal will be at the last. Its reason is only this that the representatives of the forces of The All-Merciful (Al-Rehman) be mentioned together and then that of satanic forces afterwards. Then whosoever takes part in whatever column or transcribe ones name in whichever file, its the matter of fortune.

Ambiguity and Complications: The third and the last thing is that the ambiguity which lies in the uncertainty of the signs of the doomsday is itself a doomsday. The complications which are faced during their contemporary application and based on solid grounds the inferences seem, on time when the actual events took place, [Link] far..gripped in complex convolutions, on these grounds the topic is much interesting but its application on the affairs of the time is hard and dishearten job. Taking the refuge in care and under the shade of the interpretations of the elders, whichever is done by this humble is being presented here. As far as possible, the fact is taken into account in quest to relate the Ahadith to the contemporary era, neither specific interpretation be made of the Prophetic ordinances, nor to apply these to the specific incidents by force. Only that much be said which is clearly understandable and no emphasis be made of it. ..Allah is the All Knower! Here this question will surely arise, on this topic whatever the present stuff is collected, what was the deterrent to present it before? If we are close to the end times, and the importance of the tribulations of the end times are so much then what was the rationale to avoid this? This was the expedience or the hypocrisy? This was deliberate concealment or ignorance? This question itself is reasonable and timely and its detailed and proven answer lies in the first subject of the book. From us the humble humans, whatever is workable, all praise is to Allah, we have done it. Further all the matters lie with Allah. Beggars have only the choice to plead before Allah and to become well-wisher of the humans. Conflict in the Unity. Here this thing should be clear that in this period of time the followers of the three large existing divine religions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity), who are the overwhelming majority of the world, are awaiting a Personality who will appear in the end times, and shall be the savior of the humanity. In each divine nation, the assurance is given of this Promised Christ. But after this narrow concurrence, there lies a conflict in its details. The followers of Islam are awaiting the descent of Essa (Jesus) son of Mary, Alleh-hesSalam. They have the belief that after descent he will kill the anti-Christ, destroy the Cross and kill the Pig (means in the World, the worship of the Cross be ceased, the meat of that impure beast will be prohibited to eat), taxes will cease to charge and in whole the world Islamic Justice Laws will be applied. The Christians are also awaiting the descent of Essa, Alleh-hes-Salam. The difference is that, near them Jesus was taken into heaven after three days of the crucifixion and shall eliminate the non-Christians after descending in the end times. During this the Christians, while sitting in balconies of the heaven, shall see the elimination of the non-Christians humanity. While near the Muslims, Hazrat Essa, Alleh-he-Salam, were taken by the Allah Almighty to the heaven safe and sound. The Jews were unable to dent even his single hair. Then he will eliminate the Jews after the Descent and with the Jews, those

Christians who has helped them by being Zionist-Christian shall also be eliminated. And the remaining soft and kind hearted Christians will embrace Islam on the hands of Jesus Alleh-hes-Salam. The personality who is being awaited by the Jews is the descendent of Hazrat Dawood (David) Alleh-hes-Salam who is Al-Qaim Al-Muntazir (The Standing One, Being Awaited). And the Jews have the belief that they will rule over the entire World due to him. On arrival of the Messiah (means Pseudo-Messiah, Christ of Evil and Misguidance), the Global Jewish State shall be established. All the non-Jews shall surrender to the Jews and they shall only get permission to live to those to whom they deem necessary for their service. The Last Battle: In the beliefs of these three nations this thing is also common that before the liberation of humanity through Messiah, on the earth an enormous and devastating war will be occurred. In this great battle which is called Um-ul-Maarik (Armageddon) means the Mother of the Wars, atleast two third human population will be smashed. The remaining one third people shall rule over the World without any compeer. Now who is that one third nation? And by which doctrine they will rule over the World? Its outcome is yet to pass. And its result shall come in Palestine near the Harmajdoon valley to which the westerners call Armageddon. The Christians and the Jews are extensively preparing themselves for this Great WarAnd true is that they have made the preparation. And are awaiting only a terrible blast of which will occur (we seek refuge from Allah) on the fall of Gumbad-e-Sakhra(Dome of the Rock). Because (as per their obsolete beliefs and pseudo religious legends) the ruined building of the Temple is underneath the Gumbad-eSakhra. When, after dismantling the foundations of Gumbad-e-Sakhra, the signs of the Temple shall appear, the Messiah will come out. And on his arrival that great slaughter will take place after which the non-Jewish people (especially Muslims) will be eliminated. And Westerners (Christian or Jews) shall be the rulers of this earth without any compeer. The Only Safe Path. By this approach, todays World is on the brink of the Third World War. It is not too far when the East and the West shall be chucked into the fire of this war. Only difference is that the Westerners has preparation for [Link] call themselves materialists and seems they dont have belief in the realities of unseen and propheciesBut they, behind the screen, has prepared themselves per the distorted predictions of Torah, Bible and [Link] the Easterners standing on the lip of the volcano are ignorant of this terrible incident. Whose news is given by their most truthful and honest Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). And his prophecies, while becoming true bit by bit, are now near to complete. This book is an alarming call before the followers of Islam, is an appeal, plead, cry and humble request. The storm coming from West is almost to override us. We shall, in the company of our savior Leaders Imam Mehdi and Hazrat Massih, Alehe-Mus-Salam, (be peace upon them), prepare by adopting firm Eman (faith) and

pious works for Jihad which means fight in the way of Allah. This is the only, first and the last precise safe path. May Allah provide us the apprehension of the next life and grant us the courage to go through this terrible incident with success which is awaiting us before the last day, Amen. Unit - 02 : A letter addressed to Hadhrat Mahdi Contributed By: Bint - e - Mahmood Riyadh - Saudi Arabia Who will Hadhrat Mahdi be? Who will Hadhrat Mahdis companion be? What type of struggle would Hadhrat Mahdi be of? When, where and how will Hadhrat Mahdi appear? What will the role of Hadhrat Haris & Hadhrat Mansoor be? Why will Hadhrat Mahdi succeed against the colossal materialistic force of the West?

A letter addressed to Hadhrat Mahdi (AS)

Hadhrat Maulana Rafiuddin ,the first administrator of Darul Uloom Deoband, possessed both internal and external knowledge. He was among the elders of the Naqshbandia clan. Towards the end of his life, he migrated to Makkah Mukarramah. He died there and is buried there. He was very keen to know about the appearance of the signs of the Day of Judgement especially the worldwide faithful struggle under the leadership of Hadhrat Mahdi. Hadhrat Mahdi was to appear in Makkah Mukarramah. On the other hand, Maulana Rafiuddin knew the hadith that the Blessed Prophet Muhammad handed over the keys of the Kaaba to the Shaibi clan on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah and since the Kaaba would exist till the Day of Judgement, no matter if all the clans of Makkah are destroyed, the Shaibi clan would remain till then. Therefore, towards the end of his life, when Hadhrat Maulana Rafiuddin strongly yearned to take the Bayah (oath of allegiance) of Hadhrat Mahdi and participate in Jihad (Holy war) under his leadership, he came up with an odd plan: Since this clan would continue to exist till the Day of Judgement, then evidently it would be present

during the time of Imam Mahdis appearance. When Imam Mahdi will appear, he will be resting against the wall of the Kaaba and taking the oath of allegiance from the Muslims. The keys of the Kaaba would be in the hands of a member of the Shaibi clan. Therefore, in the context of this, Maulana took a harness, a sword and wrote a letter addressed to Hadhrat Mahdi. The text is as follows: Dervish Rafiuddin from Deoband is hereby present in Makkah Mukarramah and you are preparing for jihad. You have mujahideen (warriors) accompanying you who will be given the same reward that was given to those who participated in the Battle of Badr. Thus, this harness is a token for you from Rafiuddin. Please hand over this sword to any mujahid (warrior) so that he may act as my representative by engaging in war and in this way, I can also earn the same reward. Maulana entrusted these three items to the Shaibi clan and told them that since your clan will exist till the Day of Judgement, I hand over these items to you to give to Hadhrat Mahdi. When you die, pass on my will to your surrogate and tell him to inform his surrogate and so on till the time these items reach Hadhrat Mahdi. Khutbaat Hakeem ul Islam (book 2, pg. 98) There are three things that are very important to be understood with respect to Hadhrat Mahdi: (1) Who will Hadhrat Mahdi be? (2) What will he do after his emergence? (3) When will he appear? If this is understood, then many misconceptions even misleading information and ignorance that has been spread in this regard can be cleared. First point: Who will Hadhrat Mahdi be? The very first question, Who will Hadhrat Mahdi be? can be answered in two different ways. Hadhrat Mahdis introduction In occultation Hadhrat Madhis introduction (in occultation) is apparent in that he would be the descendant of Hadhrat Hassan .His name will be Mohammad or Ahmed and his fathers name will be Abdullah. Allama Sayyed Barzanji, who has done a lot of research on Mahdaviat (belief in and efforts to prepare for the Mahdi), says that he was not able to find an authentic narration regarding Hadhrat Mahdis mothers name although some people have mentioned the name, Amna in their writings. Mahdi is not his real name, but his title meaning the guided one. The Muslims will have given numerous sacrifices but despite this fact they will not have succeeded and the reason being the absence of certain regulations and the factors required for its success. Hadhrat Mahdi will easily perceive this by the blessings bestowed upon him from Allah . His role would be exemplary for the Ummah and he would compensate for the deficiencies by adopting certain attributes with ease. He will do so much in years that Muslims could not have achieved in centuries. He has not been born yet. He will be born like common men. At the age of forty, the Muslim Ummah will make him their leader and give their oath of allegiance to him. They will embark upon a valiant battle against the evil and tyranny raised by the non-believers that would ultimately lead to the

establishment of an Islamic Caliphate worldwide. This is a simple introduction of Hadhrat Mahdi that can be cited in several ahadith. Hadhrat Mahdis introduction After appearance With respect to the introduction of Hadhrat Mahdi after his appearance, first of all it should be kept in mind that whosoever claims to be the Mahdi can never be the true Mahdi. Just as fire and water contradict each other, the same exists between claiming to be the Mahdi and the real Mahdi. There are many arguments to support this. False claimants have been spreading turmoil in all eras.. In our era too, there are no less of those who despite possessing a spiritual status work for material interests; therefore, we are trying to put forth solid arguments in reply to the turmoil spread by false claimants: (1) Mahdaviat is a spiritual status and my Shaykh and Murshid (Sufi teacher); admired by all Ulema, Hadhrat Maulana Peer Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqshbandi (Damat Barakatahum) narrates a saying of one of the elders: In the field of spirituality, the punishment of a claimant is execution. It should be noted that the lineage of Hadhrat Hassan has the honour of Mahdis emergence because they had abandoned their just claim and right, so is there any question left for the real Mahdi to claim this great recognition? The detail of this abstract is that the grandson of the Prophet , Syedna Hadhrat Hassan demonstrated great sacrifice when he gave up his Caliphate for Hadhrat Muawiyah solely for the purpose of integrity and peacemaking among the Muslims. In lieu of this, during the time when integrity and unity would be a necessity for the Ummah, Allah would designate a mujahid leader from the line of Hadhrat Hassan to establish Caliphate worldwide. It is Allahs rule that whosoever abandons something for His sake, Allah bestows upon him or his progeny with something even better. Therefore by abandoning limited Caliphate, Hadhrat Hassans lineage will be given the reward of worldwide Caliphate. The second reason that Ulema write about Hadhrat Mahdi being from the lineage of Hadhrat Hassan is that many Prophets came from the lineage of Hadhrat Ishaq but Allah only sent a single Prophet from Hadhrat Ismails lineage, who was the Seal of Prophets. Similarly many pious Saints belonged to the lineage of Hadhrat Hussain but a great Saint will descend from Hadhrat Hassans lineage, who will be the Seal of pious Saints. (Please see: Mullah Ali Qaris Marqa tul Mufateeh 147/10 & Maulana Idrees Kandhalvis Al Taleeq us Sabeeh 197/6) The second proof of the falsehood of claiming to be the Mahdi is that Hadhrat Mahdi will follow the path of those who are close to Allah in that he will be reluctant (as far as possible) to accept leadership and privilege as explicitly cited in hadith. There will be seven Ulema from different parts of the world (Pakistan and Afghanistan, Turkey, Syria, Morocco, Algeria, Uzbekistan, Sudan) who will come in search of Hadhrat Mahdi and more than three hundred and ten people will have given their oath of allegiance to each of these Ulema. Together they will start their search for

such a person due to whom the Ummah will unite and strengthen, attain central leadership, suppress tyranny, break the Christian crosses (in Europe) and put an end to the conspiracies of Jews (in America & Israel) and then Allahs governance will be established. These Ulema will be learned and righteous and will also have taken the oath of allegiance of engaging in jihad till death from each of their groups. (Oh People of Islam! Why do you go astray from the bearers and preachers of the Knowledge of Deen, spirituality according to Shariah and jihad in the path of Allah ?) The seven Ulema will unite to search for Hadhrat Mahdi in both the sacred masajid (place of worship for muslims). When they will succeed in their search and find all the characteristics of Mahdi in him, they will ask: Are you the son of so and so? Hadhrat Mahdi would skillfully refrain by replying: I am an Ansari (meaning: a supporter of Allahs deen). After have saying this, he will seek refuge in Madinah Munawwarah from Makkah Mukarramah. The Ulema will keep searching for Hadhrat Mahdi until they reach Madinah Munawwarah. Hadhrat Mahdi will once again seek refuge in Makkah Mukarramah to abstain from being given the position of Imamat (the position of a divinely- appointed leader). These Ulema would be restless in that they would have engaged in jihad worldwide, struggled for prosperity, sacrificed numerous lives, wealth and honour but despite all this, failed to succeed in their objective. Neither is infidelity weakening its roots nor is its prevalence weakening, and the reason simply being the absence of a righteous leader. The Ummah is in need of a leader who not only has intellect and wisdom, but also courage and determination and guidance and support from Allah ; and though we have come close to this leader, but have been deprived. The Ulema will once again reach the Haram in Makkah in search of Imam Madhi. In this way, they will move thrice between the Haram in Makkah and Haram in Madinah. Finally, they will find Hadhrat Mahdi beside Hajr-e-Aswad (The black stone). Hadhrat Mahdi will be clinging to the Kaaba, rubbing his face against the wall of the Kaaba and crying over the Ummahs plight. Unit - 03 : Initial Three Questions Contributed By: Rehan Karachi-Pakistan These Ulema (Scholars) request him (Hazrat Mehdi) that if he does not allow them to Bait on His hand, he will be held responsible for the whole Ummah destruction and killings. Hazrat Mehdi then find no way out, will call them at a location between Maqame-Ibraheem and Hajr-e-Aswad and take oath on the fight together till the last conquer. This Oath of Ameer (Leader) and Mamoor (Followers) is called Bait in Shariah. Therefore he will take Oath from these Ulemas on obeying Shariah and fight (Jihad) till death. Due to this migration and Jihad there established an Islamic Khilafat internationally. Muhammad migrated from Makkah to Madina and initiate Jihad, Hazrat Mehdi will migrate from Madina to Makkah and get this Sunnah of Jihad alive again and Muslims dream will come true.

3. One more ground on which all that claimed to be Hazrat Mehdi proved them liars is that before emergence, Hazrat Mehdi will not know his hidden abilities and led his life as a normal personso how come he claim to be Hazrat Mehdi? Hazrat Ali (RA) narrated Muhammd said : Mehdi will be from us Ahl-e-Bait, Allah (Subhanahu T'ala) will grant him the abilities in just one night. Sheikh Abdul Ghani (Rahmatullah-oTaala) in the commentary of this Hadith wrote that Allah (Subhanahu T'ala) will grant him Leadership and abilities in just one night at once. Allama Ibn Kaseer (Rahmatullah-oTaala) in the commentary of this Hadith wrote that Allah (Subhanahu T'ala) will grant him with special Fazal and Taufeeq and then let him realize of his new status as Hazrat Mehdi. Hazrat Maulana Badar Alam Mirthee Mahajir Madani (Rahmatullah-oTaala) wrote there resolved a fact that there may raise a question by some people having low Imaan that when Hazrat Mehdi has such an open fame then how come his fame be hidden from the general public and so waiting for him to emerge in the state of distress has no reality. But the word has resolved this as no matter how many people posses these abilities but the spiritual and piousness will kept hidden till the time of emergence arrive and he will be granted these abilities in just one night, after which people and he himself will exposed with the reality that he is the Mehdi. From the above details which are the extracts of the books ( I have 2 dozen books in front of me right now and the list of these books is given in the end of this book) let us know that being Mehdi is a spiritual position besides the leader of Jihad and the people posses such spiritual position does not claim for any position. Although, their intellect and abilities let people to withdraw their designations in their honor. Whereas, the stage of Mehdi is not full of pleasures despite it will be full of pains as to be Mehdi does not mean that he will just hold a designation and spend his time taking gifts from the public and despite solving the problems of the oppressed Muslim Ummah creates a new one but it means that he will stand against all of the disbelievers of the world, fights with them, help the Muslim Ummah putting his life in danger and struggle to form a Khilafat. Now who can claim such designation and who are Mirza Qadyani and Gohar Shahi to claim such. Here this should be specially kept in mind that the way Hazrat Mehdi will be weeping while scrubbing his face with Kaaba curtains for the condition of oppressed Muslims, the same way these 7 Ulemas will be curious about him accompanied by.300 men from all around the world which will also reach Makkah in search of him. They will be ready to give up everything they have. The curiosity of Ameer (Leader) and Mamoor (followers) for the Muslim Ummah is a thing on which Allah (SWT) make tough things easier, give honor to serve the Ummah and provide the right thing at the right time. Thus, whoever has interest in collecting information about Hazrat Mehdi, he should come to the right path first, obey Allah teachings and serve humanity and then think about Islam not for himself. Should help Ulemas, Sheikhs and Mujahideens who work for the betterment of Ummah. Should keep reserve enough part of his Life, Wealth and resources for the

Muslim Ummah. These are the people (or their generations) who will be able to join this Blessed Caravan. Just predictions, forecasting, imaginations and feelings without the passion of giving sacrifice will not be of any worth. After these two answers there may be some of the readers who think that the first question is finished, actually at this point the first question is raised with a new aspect. Who will be Hazrat Mehdi? All the discussion on this question we gone through is literary and intellectual. But is it enough for satisfaction? Is the topic said to be completed without assimilate. I think if leaving the topic here will create a chance for the misguided and disbelievers assimilate anywhere and to confirm anybody as Hazrat Mehdi. On the other hand Allah (SWT) and Muhammad has kept its signs hidden as They kept the signs of Qiyamah (Dooms day) hidden. No one can accurately predict them. Though if the discussion goes between the surely predictions and no predictions then maybe there will be no restriction to express, especially when the purpose is only and only to invite Muslim Ummah to come to the right path. So, lets throw some light to this aspect. Unit - 04 : Who Will Be Imam Mahdi? Contributed By: Binteislam Doha - Qatar Second: Who will be Imam Mahdi? Who will be the Imam Mahdi? The second question which is equally important, who will accompany him? As it is essential to recognize the leader, it is also essential to know the group of people around him. So if one could not join Imam Mahdi in his lifetime, at least he can adopt the attributes of HAZRAT MEHD that may be useful for him in the preparation before death. Dear readers! By the help of Hadiths, the successful leader of last time and his fortunate followers are somewhat recognized. And helps a Person to distinguish truth from falsehood, to sacrifice for right and give him the Courage to stand against false. These two Hadiths are present in front of me in Arabic with references. The references are of Muslim and muskoh. But if we look at the Arabic text that will become an article to have a research on it. And I do not consider myself eligible for research. I always turn to my elders for any kind of research. Allah has blessed our Deoband elders with the knowledge and piety, that is deep-rooted. And has given them understandings and insight that is perfect It is our good fortune to take every next step by asking them. And believe that our salvation lies in following them carefully. HAZRAT Maulana Mufti Rafi Usamni abridged one of the books written by his father The Grand Mufti Muhammad Shafi. In the end of his book he listed some signs under the heading of the signs of the day of Qayamah.

The third one is as follows: Till the time Jesus will descend, a group of people from this Ummah will fight for truth. They will neglect their opponents. The last leader of this group will be HAZRAT MEHDI The last line : The last leader of this group will be HAZRAT MEHDI is very important to note. It clearly seems neither the Imam Mahdi will be a non-jihadist organization's leader, and not of any ideological or organizational group. However he will be the Last Leader of all Jihadi groups. All the leaders responsible for their respective jihadi groups will give the leadership in his [Link] all the separated efforts going on in different parts of world, they would assemble under the flag of HAZRAT MEHDI. Then the sacrifices of Mujahideen and the intelligent and daring leadership of HAZRAT MEHDI will restore the key for Muslims which have been lost since ages. And the vehicle of help and progress and success is not running despite of the presence of it four tires (KNOWLEDGE, TAQWA, DAWAH, JIHAD). Now, coming towards the companions of HAZRAT Mehdi Problem will be clear at all. AT this very time Muslims have only three opponents: JEWS, pagans, and Christians. The WAR of Jesus will be with Christians. Hindus and the so called Muslim presidents would be defeated by ventures configured by HAZRAT MEHDI And would get them arrested and shackles installed. For the elimination of Jews and their leader Dajjal Jesus will descends. One reason behind this is that the Jews persecuted Jesus a lot. And tried to kill him. And his disciples did not protect him by giving up their life's for Jesus. In the same way, the Jews along with the pagans of MAKKAH also persecuted PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Peace Be On Him) and tried to kill HIM (Peace Be On Him). The companions of PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Peace be on him) made up a wall of their bodies around HIM (peace be on him). The migrant companions were here in Medina, leaving everything in MAKKAH and there was no way back for them. Until one ANSARI was alive, it was not possible to reach PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Peace be on him) without passing through him. For this fidelity ALLAH will reward Ummat-e-muhammadiya. Like the foremost companions with PROPHET MUHAMMAD (peace be on him) did an end to the JEWS OF MADINAH. In the same way, the last people of this Ummah with the Jesus would fight with the JEWS OF THE WORLD. And they will refresh the memories of initiatives. And the second point is that ANTI-CHRIST will have some extraordinary scientific powers. All the technologies being invented by the intelligent Western minds are actually

10

paving the way for ANTI-CHRIST. They will give all their technologies to ANTICHRIST. Same as the fortunate Muslims would give all their belongings to HAZRAT MEHDI and Jesus. ALL the inventions by intelligent minds of America and others being attracted towards it from all over the world would reach where, this is clear from the Hadiths of PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM) IN which on the basis of scientific technologies some of his insidiousness has been described. Magnetic waves which are present in Bermuda has been saved. If we throw a beam of those waves on any human being, airplane or any other giant object it would disappear in the same way as the airplanes and naval ships have been disappeared in BERMUDA TRIANGLE. Soon when the war will intensify, the use of this technology would dazzle the eyes of materialistic ones. And their believe on false earthly GODS would become more strong. While the loved ones of ALLAH will ignore them like it has been described in previous hadith. And just like world is watching now. As the ANTI-CHRIST would have some extraordinary scientific technologies Jesus would also be given some exceptional miracles. When ISSA (AS) would fight with European Christians he would have an army of 12,000 Mujahideen. And because of this small number, he cant be defeated. On the other side, European Unions near Syria would assemble 960,000 Roman forces under 80 banners representing 80 countries. Apparently there is no comparison between these two armies. The Romans will request to the Muslims to hand over to them those who had been fought and captured their Roman brethren. Unit - 05 : Dam Mast Qalandar Contributed By: Rehan Karachi-Pakistan Have you noticed? A few white people from Europe reverted to Islam after observing the behavior of Muslim war prisoners. They are not Muslim from their forefathers but are newly converted Muslims and their faith (Iman) has become so mature as of those magicians of the Hazrat Moosa (A.S.) Era that they only 12000 in number are ready to fight against 9.5 Lac (1 Million) army. The worlds most developed powers are ready to go back on the handing over of these few newly converted Muslims and on this condition the lives of these few thousand of poorly equipped Mujahedeen are pardoned who clearly see their deaths beyondbut just look at the reply of these Mujahedeen who have Ultimate faith (Kaamil Iman): Swear by Allah! It will never happen. They have become our brothers by accepting Islam. We at any cost cant just leave them alone

11

Allah-o-Akbar! Who else have this much bravery on earth? Who else have the courage to reply in such words to not only the superpower but to all superpowers, all partners and non-partners that whether country exist or not, governance thrown even 100 times, we cant hand over any Muslim to Kuffar (non believers), they are else who sell oath takers against a few dollars and then face foul language about their mothers. Now! Is there any difficulty left in recognizing? Someone knowing all but still not wished to understand is his own matterbesides there is nothing hidden nor have any barrier exist. When you see that Black Flags appeared from Khorasan then do join them whether you have to crawl from Ice to reach them because this army will have Mahdi the last caliph from Allah Khorasan (spanning north-eastern Iran, northern and western Afghanistan, southern parts of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) At this point, the first question is pretty much answered. The matter of Imaginary introduction to realistic introduction has quite excitement. In this matter some people make much hurry and believe on fake claimers (like recently a fake claimer Shahbaz Kazib was beaten by his followers in Faisalabad Central Jail after his predictions proved wrong) and some people are of the opinion that it is too early to talk about this and it will happen times away from now. Actually its not possible to predict it accurately, not even for this nor the matters like this but completely unawareness is also not the right way. The way between real end and final prediction is both cautious and safe. We will move further after some explanation of another sentence of a Hadith. Prophet (SAW) said Till the appearance of Isa (Jesus) there would be a group who will always struggle for right and will not heed about their opponents

There are two qualities described in it for the group struggling for right: Jihad and continuous Jihad Heeding not about opponents Today wheres that piece of land where the obligation of Jihad has resumed and still exists. There will be no kind of Jihad left, which has not been fought here. Disbelievers, atheists, disobeyers, renegades and now against all united non-believers in-fact every kind of Jihad has been fought here and still going on. Heeding not about opponents (Everything is fine, theres no problem at all) who has always these words on his tongue and has such nature? A recent report of Newsweek said: The resurgence of the Taliban is ringing alarm bells in Kabul, Washington and many NATO capitals, prompting a fresh round of soul-searching over how a relatively ragtag insurgency has managed to keep the worlds most powerful armies at bay.

12

SubhanAllah! On one side there are few thousand of poorly equipped Mujahedeen who are already facing fight against them in their own country and on the other side there are 43 united countries of such caliber that if anyone from them alone threat any other country in the world, it would not stand .. But whats the result? The strategy that was adopted seven eight years back of attacking through Air-Strikes, now they are back on that same strategy, coming close is a far away thing but they even avoid fighting on ground of the fear. 43 countries came up forward after counting the list of countries that are included in ISAF. As of power, America alone is enough, even a call from America is enough to make one forget about all badges on his shoulder. For being not enough alone he called NATO, 26 countries hurried to join him where as any ten of them are quite enough to conquer the whole worldbut they still cant make it. Unmanaged and untrained fighters still not defeated so they called non-NATO countries to join them. So the number of allied countries reached 36 after ten of them joined. Now besides earth its even possible to rollout any other [Link] it is now known that since from Afghans accepted Islam they, no one can rule them. Therefore around seven non-NATO and non-Partners also joined them including Singapore and New Zealand who have nothing to do with Taliban. In addition to these 43 countries, Afghanistan itself is also against them. After Hazrat Taloots army of very few number against Jaloots huge united army, after Badar and Ahzaab, after Ayyubis crusade wars, has anybody been able to see such event again that on a side there are 44 united countries and on the other side there is no country, no army, no organized power instead a segregated group from whom no one even able to identify himselfbut so confident that he does not heed even the most superpower and the biggest military power of the world. Unit - 06 : Secret of Success Contributed By: Kamran Shah Karachi - Pakistan. Second Question: What will be the struggle of Hazrat Mehdi and how will he do? The second important question about Hazrat Mehdi is that after his appearance what kind of struggle will he do and what ever he will do how would that be possible for him? In His way from Bait (fellowship) on Jihad till the establishment of Khilafat, how will He succeed in the extreme fight He will face from the superpowers and first world countries all around the world whereas today we see political, economic, military else all other key areas are under the control of evil powers. They rule both on sea and land. Uproar of their supremacy is everywhere. As a matter of fact no hope is seen to the extent that in near future Muslims would be able to break all the supremacy magic of these evil powers. The budget of every multinational company is more than the budget of many Muslim countries. Every think tank is so powerful that it alone is giving the 100 year planning to the west. They also have such unity that United States of America and Russia who are

13

extreme enemies to each other get united in the opposition of Pakistan naturally. Other united organizations formed only to end extremism and form universal establishment. All world class universities are in the west world. Only United States of America has 5758 universities while in the whole Muslim world of 57 Muslim countries has just 500 universities and there is not a single university in the whole Muslim world that entered in Top 500 universities of the world. Western world attracts all the intelligent and skilled individuals of the Muslim world to their magical world and bound them to live their rest of the lives there. As a result only unskilled, opportunist and empty from patriotism bunch of messy people are left for the Muslim world in the form of bureaucracy. In Muslims discipline, education, high affability, unity, calmness in short each and every element of success is lacking from Muslims. The world still praise the Muslim skills and intelligence but this intelligence and skills are all benefiting the west only. As the time passes, every dawn comes with the news of new unusual advancement in west while every evening brings us the news of further worsening of the Muslims. In such situation do we admit that Hazrat Mehdi will be capable of transcend powers so that to defeat these all powers unusually will be possible for him? Will He defeat all the scientific inventions with unusual spiritual wonders that has never found in the history of humans or is there any involvement of the contribution of ideological, practical and martial efforts of His companions? And if it is the case then how would the scenario get 180 degree opposite so abruptly in such a way that the winds blowing in favor of west suddenly change their direction inversely in favor of Muslims. The answer to this question is that both dedicated and highly skilled leadership of Hazrat Mehdi and dispersed skills and scattered movements of the Muslims will defeat the superiority of the evil powers. There is no doubt that Allah (Subhanahu T'ala) will get wonders occur through Him but the biggest wonder that will occur would be that when He ask people to seek true pardon from Allah (Subhanahu T'ala) and live-up all those Sunnah which were forgotten at that time that will result in providing unity to them. They will then think and work uniformly. Their hearts get pure from greed and jealousy. They get free with internal disputes and disobeying of Ameer. They will follow Hazrat Mehdi in each perspective of life and will not be feared of death. Death does not mean the physical death but it also means the death of ego inside. Many People are facing deaths delightfully but when asked to conquer their ego that would not achieved to the level which Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed (RA) showed during allegiance to Hazrat Umer (RA). Hazrat Mehdis egoless soul and the spirit of achieving the unified goal will be of so much clarity that all pious Muslims of the world forget themselves and give all they belong and themselves to Hazrat Mehdi and they trust Him the way Muslims trusted to Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi of His time. It should not be hidden to the students of history that in front of the unity of whole European military Sultan had a small military however groups of mujahideen arrived from different areas when saw Him riding on His horse from one end to the other like a mother searching for her only child, tears in His eyes and shouting loudly O Muslims! Help Islam O Muslims! Help Islam they who were famous for their ego left everything and get agreed to live and die with Sultan and history witnessed that if Sultan ran out of funds they fought the war with their own funds and weapons with deep from their heart and consider Kufr for leaving Him or His army. They had a strong trust that in case of defeat Sultan will never leave them alone and if He won

14

He will never take benefit instead all of the credit would be given to Islam. If the leadership of today win the trust like this whole scenario will get inverse in just the time required by the leader to get rid of ego and to fill his heart with deep love for Islam. The secret of success of Hazrat Mehdi will be that he will prove to have the leadership qualities before he took Bait (fellowship) and then the scattered literate and learned scholars, students, mujahideen, engineers, doctors, professors, scientists, businessmen, administrators, military personals in short different specialized people will offer everything including their skills to Hazrat Mehdi to serve Islam and accepting His command from heart will kill their selfness. This will be the memorable moment and delightful soul feeling that happened once before Ghazwa-e-Badar in a meeting of Sahaba-e-Kiraam before the war of Hateen which has given calm to Ayubi and which NATO and Non NATO unions are today observing and world will again see it before the last war. On the extremeness in fight in Afghanistan and in the tribal areas of Pakistan world analyst start saying that after 8 years has gone in war against terrorism its getting clearer that the war is being won by Taliban and not the Allied Forces. In this perspective various European high position holder has started the struggle for smoothing the way for peace agreement with Al Qaeda. Local newspaper Dagsavisen published from Oslo, capital of Norway, wrote that Norway may have adopted the policy of maintaining good relationship with Muslim groups. It further wrote that when asked from assistant minister of foreign affairs about if they were quitting from the War against terrorism he replied actually peace talks with friends is a continuous process however for true peace there should be peace talks with those also who you believe are your enemies. Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Raymond Hansen said that he is not alone on the matter but other European countries also wish the same. Be noted that just before this Switzerland also has wished the same that it wish to establish peace talks and peace agreement with Al Qaeda and Osma bin Laden and is ready to take any initiative action required for the same. We dont want to be the target of revenge actions on the return of United States of America. Unit - 07 : Three Fortunate (Social) Segments Contributed By: Muhammad Asad Sahiwal - Pakistan Some years ago, in a meeting, I was discussing some issues with some young people. The discussion, in view of the current affairs of the Islamic World and the multidimensional problems being faced by the Muslims, was moved towards their character. A man was sitting indifferently. The youth were talking hopelessly, moaning the opportunities while I was giving them the courage that whether journey is of one thousand miles its starting is the first pace. In the mean time that old man cant be helped to remain silent and asked me:

15

Dear Molana (Molana is the title for religious scholars), you are tempting the youth for nothing, why you are not accepting it plainly that by only reciting the Sorah Al-Fil (Quranic Chapter 105) you cannot conquer the battle field. The West has reached far, too far ahead than the approach of your imaginations. (Upon this my response was) you are looking the west as forward, we are beholding them much advance than it, too much faraway than the knowledge of the current informative man, looking them going ahead too much at the forefront. Until the artificial power of the West not surpasses (apparently not actually) the natural forces, the last battle will not take place. And the last battlewill be triumphed by the haulers of the Sorah Al-Fil provided they remember the Sorah Al-Kahf (Quranic Chapter 18). That respectful man astoundingly began to look my face that what an all sweeping man is this shifts the talk towards somewhere else. Nothing crosses his mind, but one among the young with whom discussion was going on, asked: Dear Mr. Shah it seems that if Hazrat Mahdi just come, he will also take much time to make the things correct. No my dear no, it will not take some years. Its because the bedazzlement of the West which is being witnessed by you, in it is the sweating blood of the Muslims so its lamps are blazing. Now the West behind its achievement whether acknowledges or not the presence of preeminent minds and the assiduous master-hands of the Muslim World, instead of it upon their efforts applies the trademarks of its own..But the entire World knows that the Muslims after being discouraged and by not being appreciated by their leadership are fueling the lunar vehicle of the West through their faculties. Not many geniuses are born by the White rather within us. By us means the Muslim World especially Pakistan..are being born. When the sincere call for unanimity will be made and the honesty and Integrity of the leadership will be on the front, at that moment these all will come hurriedlythen u will see the things at its apex. But in an essay you were saying that at this time in the World in different subjects of knowledge and skills especially in genetics and military science, the Jews are playing a major role. Theirs is a cartload of Noble Awarded Scientists who are struggling in the guidance of Antichrist to give them triumph over the globe and also working for to overcome the death phenomenon. You have pointed it out well. The inventions which has entirely changed the World History there are Jews behind it. For example, behind Micro-Processing Chip is Stanley, behind Nuclear Chain Reactor is Leo, behind Optical Fiber Cable is Peter, behind traffic lights is Charles Adler, behind Stainless Steel is Benno Strauss and behind videotape (recorder) Charles [Link] Jews have achieved the mind control technology by which they are able to control the human minds to some extent. This will be the largest weapon of the Antichrist. Its name is MK Ultra. The director Salon Field, of the department like CIA, openly acknowledged it in 1977 that million dollars have been spent on the study of magic, psychology and Spiritual sciences. In the music tunes via back tracking vulgar satanic messages (like Kill Your Mom) after hiding those in reverse track are being disseminated throughout the World. In 1940 American scientist Nikola Tesla announced to invent death rays. Since 1987 under the supervision of Jewish

16

scientists by influencing the natural rotation of the Earth, the efforts are being carried out to molest the resonance of the Earth, until the magnetic field of the earth will come to an end and its rotation after being stationery, as described in a Hadith according to a sign of the emergence of Antichrist will become slow. One day like a year, then one day like a month, then one day will be like a week. The Oxford professor Susan Green Field has said that the complete memory of the humans brain is possible to upload in the Computer. This professor has not disclosed the next stage. That is being disclosed by beggars like us. The next step will be its reflection, means the computers memory will be uploaded into some humans brain so that the path of the Superman (The Great Liar means the Antichrist) be paved, which will be seemed immortal for the time being. The Jewish scientists has read the Humans genetic code, this is a combination of three billion words. The mentioned success is called the greatest success of the humans history. These all incredible achievements are at their own placebut when Hazrat Mahdi will come it seems that in addition to pious and diligent Muslims (as it seems) two types of segments will also accompany him. 1) One those Jews who are frustrated from todays biased political Judaism means Zionism. (Zionism means political Israel-ism, so Zionist is every person who is the supporter of Israel whether he is a Non-Jew or Non-Israeli). They thought that when the establishment of Jewish State and the dominance of the global Judaism will be under the Leadership of the Messiah, he will liberate the Jews from the historical despise, then to establish the Israel, whats the benefit in it to displace millions of Palestinians from their homes and whats the need, to kill and being persist in killing thousands, for its stabilization? Why should not we leave the job of the Messiah for him and for this purpose our Jews should not be killed which they cant achieve before the arrival of the Messiah. This moderate sect is called Hasedi. This is their ancient name. Their new name is Haredi. These are very ancient religious Jews whose main centers are in New York and London. They believe that the Israel which has created by the Zionist movement is in fact that place of the State of abomination in which as per the prediction of the Torah the Jews, at the End of Times, will get together and will be corroded by being the victim of the wrath and revenge of Allah. Rabbi Harsh is their known religious leader. In Arafats Palestinian Authority, the minister appointed for Jewish religious affairs belonged to this sect. The known Philosopher and language expert Noam Chomsky also although not belongs to this sect but he accepts this idea. He is also non-Zionist Jew. It means he does not accept this idea religiously but acknowledges it as non-religious political point of thought. In Britain on different occasions the people of this sect has recorded their protest against the Israeli brutalities on Palestinians. When Hazrat Mahdi will appear and the lost sacred primeval symbols, means Ark of the Covenant (Coffin of Tranquility), Moses Staff (The Rod), The Pieces of the Torah Tablets, Table Spread (or Repast) of Children of Isrl (the Israelites), The special pots of Manna and David Throne (its not lost, but fixed in the Chair of the Queen of the Britain) will be assumed (by him). Then these moderate Jews due to their judiciousness shall embrace Islam on his hands. They shall believe that their elders, due to malison of their sins and misdeeds, has lost what, the person who has found it is the follower of the Last Messiah (Hazrat Muhammad, Allah bless him and give him peace) and the companion of the true Christ (Hazrat Isa (Jesus), may peace be upon him). After seeing the Ark of the Covenant, there is a mention of some Jews to embrace Islam

17

in a holy Hadith although its application on the aforesaid sect is my (the authors) comprehension. The wealth and technology which these Jews bring with them after joining the Muslims, by it the materialistic power of the Muslims will also become better to some extents. The mention of few years is for this reason that Hazrat Mahdi after emergence (which will take place in the age of forty years) will fight for seven years with two out of three major infidel powers of the world. Against Hindus and Christians, he will gain tremendous conquest. Now only the Jews remain behind. In the eighth year the Antichrist (Dajjal) will appear, and the tribulation of the Jews will be at its peak which is in fact the tribulation of the satanic forces. In the same year Hazrat Isa (Jesus), may peace be upon him, shall descend. The ninth year will be, after the murder of the Antichrist (Dajjal) and the destruction of the house of evil Israel, the year of the establishment of the strongest global Islamic caliphate and its stabilization. In the age of forty nine (49) Hazrat Mahdi shall die. Hazrat Isa (Jesus), may peace be upon him, after offering his funeral prayer shall bury him in the Bait-ul Muqaddas (Jerusalem). After this Hazrat Isa (Jesus), may peace be upon him, shall live on the earth till thirty eight (38) years. So Hazrat Mahdi after emergence shall live on the earth for nine (9) years. Before Hazrat Isa (Jesus), may peace be upon him, Hazrat Mahdi will live seven (7) years and after death of Hazrat Mahdi, Hazrat Isa (Jesus), may peace be upon him, shall live on the earth for thirty eight years. The two middle years, both the leaders shall live together. 2) After this detail, now we are able to mention that second force, which with its wealth and technology will fill the insufficiency of the material power required to the Muslims. Means those fortunate Christians who are kind hearted and serve the humanity sincerely. They after descent of Hazrat Isa (Jesus), may peace be upon him, in the group of Jihadi (combatant) Muslims instead to blame them for terrorism shall embrace Islam on his hands. This blessing shall be gained by them cause of their conventional kind-heartedness and judiciousness. These people, after taking some share from the unbelievable scientific power of the Europe and the America, will join the Muslims. In the above, I (the author) have intentionally used when mentioning Jews the word to some extant and when mentioning Christians the word some share. This is because the real technology for the success of the Muslims lies, in the innermost in leaving resentment and envy and openly adopting piety (Taqwa) and Jihad (struggle in the cause of Allah especially fighting the enemies). Means it will not be so that the Muslims, in the field of Science and Technology, Military and Economics, shall reach at this stage that they will cease the dominance of the disbelief by material power. No my dear brothers no, it will not be so. The battles are, although, always fought between unequal powers. Between the people of Allah (God) and the satanic forces, explicitly there always remains a wide gap. If its not so then the progress of the truth and the falsehood and the scale of the triumph will become alike. When the time of the Allahs help and the Omnipotence will arrive in the Muslims right?

Unit - 08 : It Is Not Too Late Yet Contribute By: Muhammad Shoaib Lahore - Pakistan There are certain things which dervish people utter impulsively. And when the listeners are still trying to determine its meaning and source, it is verified through external sources, and its manifestation becomes visible. This scribe wrote some sentences impulsively in the previous article: "Efforts have been under way since 1987 to affect the 'pulse-beat of the earth' by affecting its natural revolution around the sun till the magnetic field of the earth comes to an end, and it becomes slower in its movement as predicted in the holy Hadith about the signs of the emergence of Dajjal (anti-Christ)."The first day of Dajjal will be equal to one year; the second day will be equal to one month; the third day will be equal to one week". In what context did this scribe write the above-quoted sentence? Let's consider it before moving forward. According to a Hadith: "The Doomsday will not take place unless the mountains are decentralized (rooted out from their fixed place)" In the same way, another holy Hadith relates: "The sun will rise in the west near the end of time. When this sign takes place, the gate of repentance will be closed. After the appearance of these signs, any person's embracing the true faith will not be valid or acceptable" When we used to study Astronomy at Jamia-tur-Rasheed, (many readers are aware of the fact that there is a special emphasis on this branch of knowledge at Jamia-tur-Rasheed. The research works of our Astronomy department are considered authentic and valid by the well-known Muslim and non-Muslim astronomers) there were often discussions about the authenticity of "compass". In astronomy, when it comes to fixing the direction of "Qibla" (kaaba), the common people use compass while it is not regarded as an authentic source by the scholars of Jamia-tur-Rasheed. This is because the gigantic mass of magnetic waves near the Poles keeps on changing its position which affects the needle of the compass.(For details, see "Ahsan-ul-Fataawa" Vol. 02, page 347).Some people use a kind of traditional compass which is even worse than the present-day compass. This compass makes a difference of 10 to 12 degrees from the actual position. So it is sincerely recommended that the people contact authentic scholars at the time of fixing the direction of 'Qibla' in the mosques. The people who do not know even the ABC of this art should not act like experts in this sensitive issue. The second point is that the sun will rise in the west near the end of time. Its astronomical interpretation is extremely confusing and puzzling. When the circular motion of the spherical Earth is explained, the process, at first, looks too hard to be easily comprehended. In an effort to find out its easier interpretation by studying Geology and the other related things, I found what I mentioned in my last column. The truth of it seems verified by the mind-boggling piece of news which attracted the attention of the inhabitants of the whole world by making its way into the headlines of many newspapers last week. But it is a pity that very few people will care to know about the purposes behind it. Now let's have a look at the above-mentioned piece of news, the purposes of the experiment mentioned in it, and the likely dangers. Then, God willing, we will

19

discuss the results which manifest the veracity of the holy Hadith. This piece of news was published on September 11, 2008 in all the national dailies of Pakistan. The news item ran:"Particle physicists fired the world's biggest atom-smasher which aims at revealing the mystery shrouding the truth of the creation of the universe by simulating the conditions of "the Big Bang". Started under the supervision of CERN,( European Organization for Nuclear Research) this is the greatest experiment in Physics about which there had been going planning since the last 3 decades. (Verification: This scribe wrote about it in one of his articles in 1987 which is more than two decades ago from today).Built in a tunnel 100 meters below ground and 27 kilometer circular on the French-Swiss border, parallel beams of proton will be accelerated to nearly the speed of light. One thousand cylinder-shaped magnets have been kept close to one another. These superconducting magnets will steer the counter-rotating beams so that strings of proton smash together in four huge laboratories. The collisions will briefly stoke temperatures 100,000 times hotter than the sun, fleetingly replicating conditions which prevailed in split seconds after the Big Bang. According to BBC, some critics have expressed their anxiety that the experiment being conducted by the scientists to reveal the mystery of the Big Bang may cause the condition called the "Black hole" The "Black hole" is dangerous when its duration and energy are in extremity. Moreover, it can pull things towards itself like a magnet. There is more in it than the fears expressed by the scientists. This experiment is a part of the plan of the conquest of the universe as envisaged by the "Jewish Big Brothers". A majority of the scientists in this project ---including two Pakistani scientists who are nothing more than merely clapping spectators --- is Jewish. The amount of 10 billion dollars spent on this project is the 'ribah' (interest) earned by the Zionists. What are they after, in fact? They want to conquer the earth before the arrival of their pseudo-god, the Great Dajjal. They want to conquer the whole earth in such a way as to control its weathers, rains, winds, crops, water resources, plants, mountains, and woods. In short, they want to have an absolute control over each and every thing of this earth so that only that person may be allowed to live who believes in the godhood of the Greatest Liar, Dajjal. And the one who falsifies and tries to stultify him may be given a tough time. This is, in fact, the fulfillment of that devilish mission according to which Dajjal will provide food to or let starve anyone he wishes (all the well-known food companies across the globe are Jewish possessions).It will totally be in the authority of Dajjal to let crops grow out of any soil or to bar rains from any soil. (Seeds will be patent and the rains will be artificial. A manifestation of affecting the process of the natural rains has been observed in China during the Beijing Olympics, 2008. The above-mentioned are some of the motives and purposes of the project. Now, what will be its impacts? Time will come to a halt, and the conditions for the emergence of the Dajjal will be fulfilled. A well-known Hadith relates that after his appearance, Dajjal's stay on the earth will be of forty days. The first day will be equal to one year, the second will be equal to one month, the third day will be equal to one week, and the remaining 37 days will be equal to the normal days of the earth. In this way, the total period of Dajjal on this earth will be one year, two months and fourteen days. According to some Hadithcompilers, these days will not be so long actually. They will seem to be too long because

20

of the worries and trials they will be carrying. But Allama Novavi, in his "Sharah-eMuslim (Interpretation of Saheeh Muslim),says: "Most of the scholars are of the view that the meaning of this Hadith is clear. In other words, these days will really be as long as mentioned in the holy Hadith. This view is further strengthened by the saying of the Holy Prophet (SAW) that the remaining 37 days will be as long as the normal days". So the point is that the first three days will be different from and longer than the normal days. Moreover, the faith-testing trial brought by Dajjal will not come to an end after three days. Anyway, may Allah Almighty bless all those scholars and Hadith-compilers who conveyed the holy Hadith to us in its original form, and explained all possible meanings of it! There are some meanings that could not have been understood in the past, but today it is easier to understand them. Let's see how. Unit - 09 : It Is Not Too Late Yet 2 Contribute By: Muhammad Shoaib Lahore - Pakistan It is believed that the earth is gradually getting slower in its revolution around the sun by 1.4 Millisecond every century. The cycle of day and night is due to this revolution. In their latest research, the scientists have discovered that, sometimes, there is a sudden decline in the speed of the earth. There are three main causes of it. 1- The gravitational pull of different planets is instrumental in bringing about this decrease in speed as they pull the earth towards themselves. 2- The winds also play a significant role in reducing the speed of the earth. As a matter of fact, the winds are responsible for a 90% of the overall reduction in the speed of earth. When the speed of the air decreases, the earth becomes slower. 3-The third major factor is an institution called HAARP. Fully funded by the Jewish money and functioning under the Jewish control, HAARP is responsible for changes in the weather, reduction in the speed of the earth around the sun, and an increase in the number of earthquakes on the earth. HAARP is an acronym that stands for High frequency Active Aural Research Project. Between 1987 and 1992, the scientists of HAARP got patented a device that could change any part of the Ionic or magnetic sphere of the earth. This military device which was registered on August 11, 1987 was invented by a Jewish scientist named Bernard J. Eastlund. In 1994, the greatest military contractors of the Pentagon, E-Systems, purchased this device, and made a contract for establishing the biggest Ionic heater in the world. This device, through environmental pressure, could change the natural powers of the sphere of the earth, and could enhance the intensity of the earthquakes. These changes are the fulfillment of the Dajjali (satanic) mission, and an effort to cause the emergence of Dajjal sooner. You have noticed that unusual changes have taken place in the weather pattern of the earth during the past few years. The question that strikes our minds is how the Jewish scientists are able to cause an atmospheric pressure. Are they really able to cause an atmospheric pressure? The answer

21

is that they do this by ionizing or de-ionizing the atmosphere. In 1958, the White House Adviser on Meteorology, Captain Howard [Link] had said that the Defence office was working to find out ways by which they could be able to affect the weather by utilizing the changes on the earth and in the atmosphere. For instance, the atmosphere could be ionized or de-ionized at a specific place in the space with the help of an electronic beam. This happened back in 1958, and today is [Link] effort of the Jewish scientists to affect and control the natural system of the earth has crossed many milestones. And it is not unlikely that, due to some such efforts of theirs, and some Big Bang-like event, the natural revolution of our earth may be seriously affected. Time may stop for a short while and then resume its normal course after three days( that is actually one year and thirty seven days).Out of these three days, the first day may be much longer--- equal to one year---; the second, less longer (equal to one month); and the third, even less longer (equal to one week). This argument requires a little explanation and clarification. Let's have a look at it. Our earth is a gigantic magnet which, through different stages of its revolution, creates a magnetic field. The faster it revolves around the sun, the stronger and heavier magnetic field it creates. There is another force that is directly related to the movement of the earth. That force is called "Schumman Cavity Resonance" which, in other words, may be called "the pulse of the earth" It was identified in 1899. From 1899 till 1980s, the pulse beat of the earth was 7.8 Hertz (7 cycles) per second. But after 1986-87, when an effort was made to affect the atmosphere of the earth with the device invented by Bernard J. Eastland, there has been a gradual increase in the pulse beat of the [Link] to an estimate, it was 8.6 hertz per second by the end of 1995 and now, according some sources, it has reached 10 hertz per second. And there is a gradual increase in it. As a result of the above-mentioned experiment and other such experiments, there will be more increase in the pulse beat of the earth. There is a strong likelihood that when it will reach 13 hertz per second, the magnetic pull will reach almost zero. Creg Braden, the author of "Awakening to Zero Point", a mind-boggling book based on scientific revelation, terms this time as 'zero point' a time when the magnetic field of the earth will come to an end because the earth will stop its revolution. After the death of Anti-Christ, when Hazrat Jesus (A.S.) will give up the ghost, and the world will reach near the end of time, the earth will stop its movement for some time, and then will start its revolution to the opposite side of its normal course. In this way, the sun will rise in the west for one day. After that, the earth will turn back in its orbit and start its routine revolution, and the sun will start rising in the east as usual. There is likelihood that the apparent reason for all this is the endeavor of an unnatural intrusion into the natural system of the earth on the part of the Jews, the endeavor they are making before the emergence of the Anti-Christ to accord a befitting welcome to him. Some of its effects may become apparent when the revolution of the earth will become abnormal for three days while the other effects may be visible a short time before the End of Time after the death of Dajjal. This is just a probable interpretation. The absolute knowledge about everything only lies with Allah Almighty. He is the Absolute Creator, and does not need any apparent reason for anything He wishes to do. If something becomes the apparent reason of His real wish or command, it is just a source of the

22

fulfillment of His Creative Order. Nothing lies beyond His domain of power nor can any power do any thing against His Will. Whatever has been written above is the defective expression of my defective understanding. Only Allah Almighty knows the Truth. The purpose of all this elaboration is to give a reminder. According to a holy Hadith, there will be three events one after the other, and then the free people will have no free time. The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: "When these three events occur then the faith of that person will not benefit him who was not faithful (momin) before that or had done no good deed with his faith." Those three signs are as follow: 1- The sun will rise in the east. 2- Dajjal will appear. 3- The animal of the earth will come out. About that time, Allah says in the holy Quran: " The day on which some specific signs of your 'Rabb' (Sustainer) will appear, the faith of anyone who had neither accepted faith before that nor done any good deed with his faith would not benefit him" (surah AlAnaam: 158) When these signs appear, the Gate of Repentance will be closed. Then it will be of no use to accept the faith in Allah. In other words, it is not too late yet. No one knows whether we have any time left or it will stop due to the machinations of the Jews. My dear brothers, make this month of Ramadan (this article was written in Ramadan) the month of true repentance. Make your fasting a source of real piety. Resolve to sacrifice your life, wealth and honor in Jihad (Struggle) in the way of Allah. Who knows when our death may come, and we may have nothing else to do but repent. Unit - 10 : When Time Will Run Out Contributed By: Muhammad Shoaib Lahore - Pakistan Three supporting forces of Hazrat Mahdi Now we return to main question. Lets believe that there will be three kinds of forces with Hazrat Mahdi: 1-Pious and efficient Muslims 2-Fortunate and good-natured Jews, their capital and knowledge 3-Good-natured Christians, their experience and technology

23

Moreover, Hazrat Mahdi will have ability, intelligence, and boldness in himself; he will also have unseen support and vision (God-gifted ability to make right decision on every occasion). But in spite of all this, how will he be able to shake the mountains of power which have proved unchallenged and unshakable with the full support of the West for the last two or three centuries? The answer to this question is that his total obedience to the Sunnah in appearance, and an absolute spiritual connection with Allah will make him blessed by Allah in his struggle and battle against the evil powers in such a way that the unseen forces of the universe will help him. The satanic and evil force of the West merely depends on its materialism. Material things are insignificant and valueless in the eyes of Allah. He may give these unimportant worldly things to selfish and cheap people. On the other hand, Hazrat Mahdi and Hazrat Isa (Christ A.S.) will be great and dignified spiritual personalities. They will be blessed with unusual and miraculous powers. "The end of this world is very close. So I invite you towards the obedience of Allah and the Prophet (SAW), obedience of the commands of the holy Quran, to abolish the evil, and to revive the Sunnah." (An excerpt from the first sermon of Mahdi after the oath of allegiance) According to a holy Hadith, "God will glorify and dignify Hazrat Mahdi, and will take him to the level of piety in a single night According to another holy Hadith, "The army which will come out to fight against Hazrat Mahdi led by a person named Sufyani will be mired in the earth" Hazrat Abu Huraira relates that once the Holy Prophet (SAW) asked his companions, "Have you heard of a city which has a sea on the one side and the land on the other The companions (R.A.) replied "Yes, O Prophet of Allah."The Holy Prophet (SAW) said, "The Doomsday will not take place before seventy thousand people from among the children of Ishaq (Isaac) fight against the people of that city." When the 'mujahedeen' (fighters for Islam) will encamp there, they will need to fight neither with arrows nor with any other weapon. A part of the fence of the city will crumble once the mujahedeen will shout 'La illaha illallaho Wallaho Akbar (there is no deity worth worship except Allah and Allah is the greatest)" An Important Point: In the above-quoted tradition, seventy thousand mujahedeen from among the "children of Ishaq (A.S.)" have been mentioned. According to some Hadith-compilers, it actually means "the children of Ismael A.S". (The second son of Hazrat Ibrahim A.S). i.e. the Muslims because the children of Ishaq are the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians).How can they accompany Hazrat Mahdi, and fight for his cause? However, in all the scripts of "Sahih Muslim" (a collection of the holy hadiths), we find the words "among "Bani Ishaq" (the children of Ishaq). Allama Novavi (R.A.) writes: "Qazi Ayyaz says that in all the scripts of the Sahih Muslim, there are the words 'among the children of Ishaq'. However, it is an authentic thing that it actually means 'the children

24

of Ismael' because if we look at the context of the Hadith, only 'the children of Ismael' looks pertinent. This meaning is implied by the Hadith because those people will be Arab and the city implied is Constantinople. Constantinople is the former name of the Turkish city Istanbul. This city is partly in Asia and partly in Europe. It is possible that the European Union till take over the European half of the city. The Muslims will fight for it, and take it back. Another interpretation for saying 'Bani Ishaq' for 'Bani Ismael' is that Hazrat Ishaq A.S. is the paternal uncle of Bani Ismael. And according to the principle of "uncle is the equivalent to father", this reference is correct. According to some researchers, if we look at the apparent meaning of this holy Hadith, 'Bani Ishaq' means those 'people of the Scripture' who will embrace Islam, and join the army of Hazrat Mahdi as is mentioned in some other holy hadiths. And some other researchers are of the view that it actually means 'Bani Ishaq' itself, and it refers to the 'Pathan mujahedeen' because some historians consider them to be the children of the people of the book. They will side with Hazrat Mahdi as 'Taliban'. An Important Explanation Have a look at the holy Hadith once more: "They will fight neither with any kind of arms nor there will be a single arrow shot It means that the Muslims should accumulate the best possible resources, and should keep on sacrificing for the domination of Islam. The time will come when Allah will send his support from the unseen. This point becomes clearer when we consider the events following the arrival of Hazrat Isa A.S. (Christ)When he will descend from the heaven at the time of 'Fajr' ( morning prayer), he will start his battle against Dajjal (Anti-Christ) and his Jewish (American and Israeli armies) forces soon after that Fajr prayer. On seeing Hazrat Isa (A.S.), Dajjal will take to heels. He will lose all his satanic and materialistic powers. Till the evening of that day, every tree and every stone will call the mujahedeen, and say "O worshiper of Allah, here is a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him." Now there is another question. When Dajjal will start melting on seeing Hazrat Isa A.S. (there may be metallic parts in his body as in the body of 'Six-million dollar man' and 'The Terminator'), and the riotcreating Jews will be exterminated by the Muslims before the evening of that day, what is that science and technology which the Muslims will be able to acquire in a single day? On the basis of their piety and Jihad, the weak Muslims will achieve the support of the unseen powers, and the evil powers will start melting before their spiritual power. So we should acquire material resources as much as possible but should not be afraid of them, and should not consider them an absolute source of success. If you want to have an authentic approval and clarification of this idea, here it is. In "The Signs of the Doomsday" by Mufti Muhammad Rafi Usmani, there is a holy Hadith with the reference to "Durr-ul-Mansoor":

25

"Isa, the son of Maryam (Virgin Mary), will descend from the heaven, darkness will disappear from between the eyes and the legs of the people (the people will be able to see their legs in the light), Hazrat Isa (A.S.) will be wearing an armour. The people will ask him, "Who are you?" He will reply, "I am Isa, the son of Maryam, the worshiper and prophet of Allah, the soul created by Allah, and the word of Allah (born without father with Allah's order,'Kun' i.e. 'be'.) You may choose anyone of these three options. 1-Allah may send His punishment for Dajjal and his army from the heaven. 2-Allah may let them be mired in and swallowed by the earth 3-Allah may impose your weapons on them, and counter their weapons with yours" The Muslims will reply, 'O Prophet of Allah, this last option is satisfying and acceptable to us.' Therefore, on that day, you will see that even a plump and powerful Jew will not be able to lift his sword because of the terror. Therefore, the Muslims will climb down the mountain and attack them. No sooner will Dajjal see Hazrat Isa (A.S.) than he will start melting like lead. Then Hazrat Isa (A.S.) will follow him, and kill him." Now, what is the use of mourning over the fact that the enemy has more resources than we have when the piety and continuous jihad of the Muslims will render the weapons of the enemy ineffective, and the Muslims will ultimately dominate in that Armageddon against Dajjal and his Jewish supporters? What is the use of lamenting the fact that we have much fewer resources? We should never be worried about the point that we have not got such and such computerized system, or we cannot fly so high as our enemies can do. We should carry on our efforts by utilizing all the available right resources, and that's all. We need not be impressed by the material power; we need not be worried about how we will be able to dominate and defeat our enemies without advanced material resources. We should be worried if we are not offering our Fajr (morning) prayer (it's the time of the arrival of Hazrat Isa A.S.)And Asr (late-afternoon) prayer (it's the time of the ultimate defeat of the Jews) regularly. Real piety lies in action, ethics and behavior. The companions of Hazrat Mahdi and Hazrat Isa A.S. will be those people who will spend their nights on the prayer-mats worshiping and praying to their Allah, and will spend their days on the horse-back fighting against the enemies of Allah. How many of us wake in the darkness of night to pray to Allah? How many of us ride horses to fight in the way of Allah? Is anyone of us impressed by the propaganda of those who call jihad illegal and terrorism? Only those people will be able to accompany Hazrat Mahdi who will remain stuck to the holy duty of jihad without caring about the threats and criticism of the whole world. Is anyone of us ignorant of the physical, mental, theoretical and military training for jihad? The people who are lured away and stopped from going out in the way of Allah by their carnal desires, wealth, luxuries of life and families will not be able to join the army of Hazrat Mahdi.

26

The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: "A group of my Ummah will keep on fighting for the truth till the Doomsday and will remain dominant." He (SAW) said: "When Isa son of Maryam will appear, the leader of the Muslims will invite him to lead the prayer. But Hazrat Isa (A.S.) will say, "No, some people among you are the leaders of the others because of the dignity of this Ummah in the eyes of Allah." So an ummati (follower) of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) will lead the prayer, and the former prophet (A.S.) will follow him in the prayer so that the issue of 'Khatm-e-Nabuwwat' (end of prophet-hood) may be clarified. The believers should prepare themselves mentally and physically for that testing time when jihad will be the only criterion to judge faith. Only that person will be able to accompany Hazrat Mahdi who will have prepared himself for it. When time will run out, it will be too late to mend. Unit - 11 : Double-Edged Sword Contributed By: Muhammad Asad Sahiwal - Pakistan Third Thing: When Will Hazrat Mehdi Appear? Third query, when will Hazrat Mehdi be appeared? Its not so important rather delicate. Its such a twofold sword that even a slight mistake can cause someone to reach at some far place. First behold the guidance of Holy Quran. These are, although regarding the day of resurrection but this slave (the author) has many times makes it clear that the signs of the day of resurrection are as ambiguous and complex as the day of resurrection itself is. There used is allegorical language and all the interest of this subject lies in the curiosity of this hovering and ambiguous allegorical lexicon. Allah Says in the Sorah Bani-Israel (al-Isra): Say (O Prophet): May be, it is near (17:51). Exactly the same thing is occurred in Sorah Al- Maarij: They see it far off, and We see it near (70: 6-7). In the Holy Quran its described very often that, say (O prophet); I do not know whether what you have been warned of is near or far. (Sorah Anbia 21:109). Say (O Prophet), I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or my Lord has appointed for it a distant term (Sorah Jin Verse No. 25). Once a man asked our Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), when will the Last Day come? He replied what preparations you have made for it? The same thing can be said about this question. The most sensational and alluring question about the topic of Mehdi is this. Its answer is the same, what we have prepared for that? Because, as the companion of Hazrat Mehdi, per Hadith, will be the most upright people of the earth and their honor is like the honor of the companions in Badar. Likewise for those, who will withdraw and abandon the company of Imam Mehdi, the punishment is much severe. In a holy Hadith its described: Upon this (that not to handover the Muslims to the infidels) the war shall begin and the Muslims will be divided into three categories, 1) One third shall retreat from the battlefield; their appeal for forgiveness shall never be accepted by

27

Allah Almighty. 2) One third shall be martyred, in the sight of Allah Almighty these will be the most honored one among the martyred. 3) One third shall get victory and they shall never get any affliction in future. The people who will withdraw from the company of Hazrat shall be those who have considered the polytheism and innovations (bida) as their religion. Those who have indulged their mouth or private parts in prohibited things. Those in whose hearts is envy, grudge and resentment. On their tongues are backbiting, false allegations and lies. In their eyes are defalcation, greed and avariciousness. In their hand are stiffness, corruption and fraud. They have not yet repented from the abstinences, and they have the eagerness to remove the whole wrong doings from the world. These are those people who will leave the Hazrat in the battlefield alone and shall run. So my dear brothers, we will not say when will Hazrat Mehdi appear? The important thing is that if he become appears, who among us has made how much preparation for that. Lets it may be that when he will appear, we become victim of such a tribulation that we show retreat or become his opponent. Yes, first of all some by name Muslims shall give him sever challenge and shall be ruined plaintively. From the Hadith literature its clearly found that in the era of Hazrat, a part of the so called Muslims shall be there who will be most blighted than those who shall retreat and abandon the company of Hazrat. Who will inspite of the fact that they will be the claimant of Islam shall be among the opponents of Hazrat. And Allah Almighty shall capture them in stern punishment in front of the entire world. They shall be bogged into the earth alive. These will be those people who have been trapped into intellectual apostasy. The name of their leader will be Abdullah Sufiani. Who will be this Sufiani? This will be a Muslim leader planted by the Jews. The international media shall show him as the hero and the leader of the Muslims. In some wars, he will depict the victory against the west. And when he will become popular among the Muslims then he will show his real face. In Naeem Bin Hammads book of tribulations is written his name will be Abdullah and shall be appeared in western Syria in a place named Inder. This word is infact Aen-e-Door means the far spring which modified into Inder. Now a day Inder is a town of the district Al-Nasirah of the northern Israel, which was occupied by Israel on May 24, 1948. In some narrations its mentioned that in the beginning he will be the well-wisher of the Muslims but later on his heart will be declined. It means the evil forces shall prepare him for the fake leadership of Muslims, just as done in talisman of the Oxford and Cambridge universities. And when he will gain popularity among the Muslims he shall begin to act upon the real plan and shall deploy against the Hazrat Mehdi. The extract of his thoughts and apprehension is Intellectual apostasy. The intellectual apostasy is that not to consider the halal (allowed things/matters) of Islam as halal and haram (prohibitions) of Islam as haram. Not to consider the religious teachings as the last word. In these teachings too much skepticism and suspiciousness is created so that the things like wine and adultery, which are utmost haram (prohibited), can be treated as halal (allowed) with the propaganda power.

28

At that day, a person shall be the most looser, who refrained from the booty of Banu Kalab (means every righteous man should sure take something from the booty), although it may be a rope to tie a camel. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah, how they will take their wealth as booty and their children as prisoners inspite of the fact that they are Muslims? He (Allah bless him and give him peace), replied they will be considered as infidels by treating wine and adultery as permissible things. Sufiani shall create mischief in the earth; even in a day time in the central mosque of Damascus in a wine drinking sitting there will be fornication with a woman. Likewise a woman shall sit on the leg of the Sufiani when he will be sitting in the arch of the Central Mosque of Damascus. At that time, this insult of the mosque and abhorable event shall not be borne by a Muslim who has protective jealousy. And he will stand and will say alas upon you, you disbelieve after believing? This is prohibited. These right words shall be pungent to Sufiani and he will kill that man in the retribution to those right words. And not only that man he will kill all those who have supported him. This is that Intellectual Apostasy, this is the insolvency of the laws of Allah (limitations of Allah), the great mischief and tribulation created by the todays think tanks. The delusions which are created by this (intellectual apostasy) make a man in the morning a believer, in the evening a disbeliever, in the evening a believer and in the morning a disbeliever. If you want to see a glimpse of this affliction, you see the programs of the so called scholar of the day, Javeed Ahmed Ghamidi and his beyond compared trained mischievous pupils. Where, these questions are asked to the plain hearted youth. Whether God exists or not? What is the definition of the Haddood? And who has defined it? Who has created over nicety of the face veil? Etc. The ill fate of such people is that search the index of their programs. There is not even a single constructive topic. They have no use of reformative topics. Their full strength is being used to spread skepticism, uncertainty and delusion. Someone who is inclined towards the world may come to the religion; they have no apprehension of it. The full force is to make, those few persons who are acting upon their religion, secular and latitude in their thoughts. After all what is the purpose to indulge the persons who dont know even the issues of Taharat (cleanliness), in intellectual and knowledge of theological rhetoric rather than that( to make them secular). So my dear! Those who consider wine, fornication, interest and gambling permissible and the Sunnah a trifle shall be the wretched one who shall be the victim of the Sword of Imam Mehdi. This is the end result of the intellectual apostasy. These will be slaughtered like animals. Hazrat Mehdi will slaughter their leader named Sufiyan like a she-goat on a mount. Those who are the victim of affliction are soft hearted for the ferocious and cruel for the victims.

29

May Allah provide us His refuge. The vantage point of this apostasy tribulation is that those who listen the discussions and debates of these mischievous scholars, become victim of heretical actions and heretical thoughts. Heretical actions when reminded are easily understood but thorn the heretical thoughts never come out from the hearts. So my dear brothers, for Allahs sake save and guard you Eman (faith). Its way is to accompany the faithful people. Sit in their company. Adopt their way. The robbers of Eman are much dodgy. They hit from left when showing their right. They loot the precious commodity and no one even knows that. The program is not yet finished but the Eman is killed. For God sake, have pity upon yourself. Lest at the time of death, one lose the wealth of Kalma from ones hands. When will Hazrat Mahdi appear? Since Hazrat shall be the reformer of the century in which he will be appeared. So it decided that he will be appeared in some Islamic century. Its also probable that he will born in the start of the Islamic century but appear before its mid. In the Arab proverbs the up to mid is called the start. Now its this century or the next? It knows Allah only, we shall see that era or our next three generations will find that period? No one knows that except the Knower of unseen. Its that the domination of disbelief is reached too far, the Muslims are victim of cruelties for such a long time and in spite of their sacrifices they are being despised, it shows something else. Unit - 12 : Vagueness Galore Contributed By: Muhammad Shoaib Lahore - Pakistan When will Hazrat Mahdi appear? Some of the signs of the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi described in the holy hadith are implicit and symbolic while others are explicit, but it is very difficult to say anything about them before their actual emergence. Following are some of the signs from both categories mentioned above, and some common signs stated in many holy hadiths. One sign is that there will be a high-sounding and ear-piercing call from the sky which will announce the emergence of the 'Imam Mujahid' (supreme commander of the Muslims). It is quite obvious to whom this sign refer. But, first, it will be after his emergence while we are concerned with the signs of the actual time of the 'imam' (leader). Secondly, this sign may also have a symbolic meaning. There shall be a call from the heaven, but it is to be noted that there is no place on this planet sans the latest means of communication, and there is hardly any person without an access to these means. The satellites will telecast a running commentary on the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi in Ka'aba, and the reaction of the people to it. They will send these sensational news flash from the heights of the sky. Another sign is that Hazrat Mahdi will be the Mujaddid' (one who revives the teachings of the religion) of that century. It is not necessary for a Mujaddid to emerge at the very outset of that century; if he emerges before the mid of the century, he will be considered the Mujaddid of that century. Now, only God knows whether the current century is the century of Mahdi in which all kinds of barbarities and brutalities have been committed

30

against the Muslims, and all the pious Muslims and mujahedeen (fighters) have gone through the trials of gigantic proportions. If this is not the century of Hazrat Mahdi, must we believe that in spite of all these great sacrifices, the evil powers will rule us for some more centuries to come??? Hajjaj said that he listened to Hazrat Ali saying that the Holy Prophet said: "Be it one day before the Doomsday, Allah will send a man from us who will purify the world of cruelty and injustice, and fill it with justice" (Musnad-e-Ahmad) Another sign is that water will recede from the Euphrates River, and a mountain of gold will appear in it. Both the Tigris and the Euphrates flow from Turkey through Iraq, and fall into the Persian Gulf. Turkey has built several dams on the Euphrates. One of these dams is Ataturk Dam which is one of the biggest dams of the world. Its width is 816 km. The Freemasonry has been in power in Turkey after the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate. Turkey can stop the flow of the Euphrates to Iraq if it so wishes. When this flow will ultimately stop, the whole world will see the prediction of the Holy Prophet (SAW) fulfilled. No sooner will the mountain of gold appear than everybody will rush to it in order to get gold. Ninety -nine percent people will lose their lives because of their lust to possess the gold. Another well-known sign is related by Hazrat Umme Salma (RA) that the earth will swallow the army which will march to fight against Hazrat Mahdi. It may mean that the earth will crack and swallow that unfortunate army in no time which will come out to fight against the Saviour of the Muslims. It is also possible that when this army will come out of Syria, (the word 'Syria', here, includes today's Lebanon, Palestine and Israel. It also includes Jordan where a family disloyal to the Two Holy Mosques has been ruling for a long time. The queens of this royal family are either American Jews or the British Christians who are expert in the art of captivating the Muslim rulers)it will be helped by the American forces who are encamping in the Land of the Two Holy Mosques, and are waiting for the promised time. In this battle, the use of latest weapons and shells will leave huge pits in the earth. When this piece of earth with huge pits was shown to the Truthful Prophet (SAW), he excellently portrayed nearest-to-reality scene relating to these pits. Another point which is clarified by these hadiths is that Imam Mahdi will not receive a prompt and international recognition and approval from the Muslims. It is because of the fact that the rulers of the time have always considered the reformers and spiritual personalities to be the greatest threat to their authority and rule. Allah Almighty says in the holy Quran: "Never did we send a warner to a population, but the wealthy ones among them said 'We believe not in (the Message) with which you have been sent"(Saba 34) Hazrat Mahdi will neither be a Rasool (a prophet with a new shariah) nor a Prophet. Rather he will be a reformer and a Mujahid (fighter in the way of Allah). But it has always been a characteristic of the rulers that they falsify and make fun of the torch-

31

bearers of the Truth in whatever position they are. This time around, they will also have the assistance of such 'evil scholars' who are engrossed in the worship of Mammon, and the proximity to the rulers has kept the door of truthfulness shut to them, or they are indulged in making innovations in the religion, and Epicureanism. They consider the adherence to sunnah, (way of the Holy Prophet) and jihad (struggle and fight in the way of Allah) only a way of the 'uncivilized' Taliban, who will come from the most backward area of the world namely 'Khorasan'. Khorasan is an ancient geographical name for a piece of land consisting some areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. These evil scholars can be compared with the Jewish scholars who, despite knowing and recognizing the Holy Prophet (SAW) as the true prophet of Allah, refused to accept him as prophet and always opposed him. Another sign which has been told is that there will be bloodshed in 'Minaa' in the month of Zul-Hijja, on the occasion of Hajj (pilgrimage).But this sign relates to the period very close to the emergence of Imam Mahdi. Because soon after this Zul-Hijja, there will be an oath of allegiance to Hazrat Mahdi in the month of Moharram. Therefore, this sign is out of our discussion here. We are concerned with the signs before the emergence of the Imam. Another sign is that there will be a severe controversy after the death of a Caliph (ruler). Apparently, this controversy will arise when the Allied forces will try to select a person of their own choice as the next king while the true Muslims will prefer such a person to be their king as will be totally unacceptable to the Allies. Some scholars of Mahdiology thought that it denoted Shah Fahad. But their conjectures received a heavy blow when the ascending of King Abdullah took place without any mishap after the death of King Fahad. But conjectures are, after all, conjectures. According to some people, this controversy is more likely to arise on the death of King Abdullah. Unit - 13 : Some Ambiquity Like Ambiquity Contributed By: Muhammad Asad Sahiwal - Pakistan There is some ambiguity like ambiguity! (There exists much uncertainty in the ambiguousness) Now we turn towards next sort of indication which with full certainty points towards the promised point of time. But here the problem is this that in spite of this substantiating clue, it cant be discovered before time. Its the same sign which, some years before, has created a situation for the public to listen messages having deep suspense. But in it technically the intention was diverted from an important astronomical point due to which this sensation was unable to bring fruit. Earlier the slave (the author) has written abridged a topic Two Moons, Two Eclipses that the actual prophecy is this that before the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi in the month of Muharram (1st month of the Islamic Calendar AH), during the month of Ramadan both solar and lunar eclipses will take

32

place. Now the strange thing in it is not just that the eclipses to both will occur in the same month, no! Its not so, this has already taking place. The real strange things are two and both as per the astronomical rules are not normally possible. Their nonexistence makes them extraordinary sign. First thing is that astronomically lunar eclipse always occur in the mid of Islamic month and the solar eclipse at the end while this time the lunar eclipse in the beginning and the solar eclipse in the mid will occur. Second thing is that lunar eclipse cant occur twice in a month. In that year lunar eclipse will occur twice in Ramadan. This will be the conspicuous sign that after three months in Ramadan the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi is going to happen. Now what we say it except exaggeration or slackness that some people without these indications, accept the way-farer jugglers as a sacred personality like Mahdi and some people after these clear indications will deny to accept Hazrat (Mahdi) as Jews while recognizing Huzoor (our lord Muhammad), Allah bless him and give him peace, were not willing to accept Islam due to some (malicious) reasons but by struggling to become opponents were despised forever. Now a day upon any astronomical website, you can see the movements of moon sun and the schedule of eclipses in the future. But as both these odd signs are against norm so no astronomer is able to tell its time. Before last Ramadan and their occurrence the determination of time is not possible. In this respect much detail is given in the below mentioned topic. Two Eclipses, Two Moons Now a day on the mobile phones this message is running, whose synopsis is somewhat like this, the last indication of the end times. Into the sky two moons will be seen, in the BBC news its told that on 27th of August two moons will be seen. Its the time to emerge Hazrat Mahdi. In the Holy Quran it is there that when the last sign of the end times will be seen no repentance will be accepted. Disseminate this message to other as much you can. We shall comment on this message afterwards, first explanation be made of that sign of the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi towards which in this message ambiguous, incomplete and erroneous indication is given. If we seek the Ahadith then there are thirty such indications that will take place in the universe before the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi and shall arrest the attention of the world that the time is near to end (although this good time will be for those who have the courage to cross the river of blood and fire) the troubles of the Muslims and to frustrate the hopes of the infidels. In these (signs) one thing is such that it has not been occurred since the creation of the world and shall not take place except once in future because as per the laws governing the universe it is impossible. Per astronomical principals it is an established and confirmed law that lunar eclipse will always occur in the mid of Islamic month and the solar eclipse is only possible at the end of the month. This theorem is the very preliminary and simple theorem of astronomy. Its reason is known by the beginners and can make it understand easily. In other words lunar eclipse will always occur per Islamic dates on 13, 14, and 15 and the solar eclipse will occur on 27, 28 and 29. It cannot move to and fro. The Holy Allah has somewhat established the astronomical system accordingly. While on the hands of Hazrat Mahdi the year in which during the month of Muharram in the night of Aashoora (10th of Muharram) between the Hijr-e-Aswad (Black stone) and Maqam-e-Ibrahim (Abrahams

33

Place) the Bait-e-Jihad-o-Khilafah (oath of the allegiance to fighting in the cause of Allah and to establish caliphate) will take place, and before this Muharram in Zil Hajjah there will be sever blood shedding. In that year, by Allahs omnipotence the lunar eclipse will occur instead of 13, 14, 15 Ramadan on 1st night of the Holy Ramadan and the solar eclipse will occur instead of 27, 28, 29 Ramadan on 15th of the Holy Ramadan. These both things are neither possible and nor happened since the creation of the universe. But the sign, of the things happening out of the law, is out of the common laws. In the Ramadan of 1423 AH according to 2002 CE the event of solar and lunar eclipses took place jointly..(at that occasion many topics arise about discussions, research, commentaries and analysis but the pen of this humble remained silent. The reason was told four issues before, and the under discussion subject is the start of the fulfillment of that promise which was given in that column, this is a separate concern that the heading is something else but the theme is something else.) But its nature was that both the eclipses were occurred according to the normal laws, i.e., lunar eclipse was in the mid of the month of Ramadan and the solar eclipse was at the end of the month. If we look the record of the observatories such happenings has occurred many times before 2002 CE. On this occasion like the above mentioned message, the sensational messages which were published, in those this technical error was made that the concurrence of the eclipse of moon and sun was taken as that sign which along with being concurrent was conditional to take place before time. Rather, if we see the holy Ahadith then besides eclipse of the sun and moon together, the eclipse of moon will take place twice in one month. Once on first of Ramadan and second on any day within the Ramadan. Its not explained in Hadith that the second will be as per usual on 13, 14, 15 or that will also occur unusually on any other date. Remember that in one lunar month two lunar eclipses or two solar eclipses can never take place, although may occur in a solar month. While this took place in the month of July 2003, two solar eclipses were occurred on 1st and 31st. As if, this second indication will also be unusual. Now a day those people who are looking for Hazrat Mahdi on the occasion of Hajj, they should search such Ramadan before the Hajj.. But the difficulty is that the astronomical procedures and websites, which record the second by second movements of the sun and moon for next many centuries, cant help on this occasion because both these eclipses will be unusual and the art of astronomy is unable to find their track. So those people who have some relevance with the Astronomy or Mahdiwyat they dont give any importance to these specific predictions and unauthentic messages. Now we come toward that untrustworthy message which within last few days is disseminating sensation while being unauthentic. This much you will have understand that on August 27, there is neither Ramadan nor both eclipses, neither two lunar eclipses..therefore this message can be a temporary satisfaction and entertainment for those who want to escape from the practical works, it has no relationship with the reality. Now to understand its truth, on 27th of August, 2003 the Mars in its 50,000 years history was first time very close to the earth and was much shining. Some unfamiliar compassionate considered it as moon and now every year in August some mischievous to play with the feelings of the Muslims send such message to everyone and the plain hearted Muslims without any research forward it to others. So always I advise to my friends that at all times accompany the well versed scholars (Ulama-e-Kiram) and only

34

read the authentic books. The Almighty Allah has bestowed our Elders the firm knowledge and perfect understanding. Have faith in them and consider your salvation to lie in their feet. To specify the months and years for the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi is not correct. Holy Allah has made the signs of the dooms days as ambiguous as the dooms day itself so that the heedless Muslims by considering the everyday of their life as the last day and every night as the last night repent from misdeeds and evil practices and become busy in struggling to meet the purpose of the creation. Unit - 14 : End Of The Given Time Contributed By: Muhammad Shoaib Lahore - Pakistan End of the Given Time What is the conclusion of all the discussion above? There is still much confusion and vagueness about the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi even after discussing the important signs. If we read the Torah, there is a prediction in it with which some researchers have tried to guess about the promised time. Hazrat Danyal (Danial) A.S. was a holy prophet sent to Bani Israel (children of the prophet Jacob A.S.). When Allah imposed Bukht Nasr on them as the first punishment of their misdeeds, he came from Iraq and created mayhem in Jerusalem, and destroyed the Temple of Solomon. He burnt the copies of Torah, decimated the Jews, and destroyed the city. He took the remaining Jews as slaves to Babylonia. When the Jews were living the life of misery and slavery, Allah took pity on them, and once again started sending His prophets among them to liberate them from that miserable life. One of these prophets was Hazrat Danyal (A.S.).In his nature and character, Hazrat Danyal has much similarity with Hazrat Yusuf A.S. (Joseph).Both of these prophets, sent to the children of Israel, were made slaves in the beginning, and then Allah arranged for their physical nourishment and spiritual training in an alien country at a time when they were strangers and helpless. Thus, they became not only prophets but also achieved a great worldly status. Both of them were blessed by Allah with the special knowledge of interpreting dreams. They invited their people towards One Allah even in difficulties. They kept on saying the right thing unhesitatingly in the atmosphere of cruelty and tyranny. The evil-minded people slandered both of them, but Allah, through His divine power, proved their innocence and purity in such a convincing way that even the enemies could not deny them, and were forced to apologize. After Bukht Nasr, Nibo shany Zar became the king. He saw a dream. Trying to understand the meaning of the dream, he became more and more puzzled. He called all the astrologers, magicians, charmers and fortune-tellers of the country, and asked them to interpret his dream. When all the so-called scholars proved unable to interpret his dream, someone told the king about a prudent and shrewd young man, Danyal, among the children of Israel. The king sent for the young man. Hazrat Danyal A.S. prayed to Allah to reveal the knowledge of that thing to him so that he might be able to interpret the

35

dream accurately. Allah Almighty listened to his prayer, and revealed to his heart the true meaning of the dream. In the dream of Nibu shany Zar, the predictions made about the king of the time, and predictions about different periods, governments and kings of the future have amazingly proved correct except those which have been altered by the Jews and the Christians. They have made an unsuccessful effort to alter these signs, and apply them to other things. In the 'kalam (teachings and sermons etc.) of Hazrat Danyal, there is a clear prediction about the Last Prophet of Allah, Hazrat Muhammad (SAW),and that there will come a perpetual message of Allah and a perpetual religion. It is the bad luck of the people of the Scripture that they deny the reality at a time when it is manifest and clear to them. At this time, we are concerned with that part of the dream which is based on numerical prediction, and which has been the subject of discussion and research in every era. And now, the days of the appearance of those signs seem nearer rather than farther. Before moving forward, let's discuss that event which has been related by Ibn-e-Ishaq, Ibn-e-Abi Shaiba, Imam Bahaqi, Ibn-e-Abi-ud-Dunya and some other hadith-compilers. These people have written: "A city named Tastur (or Tastarya) was conquered during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (R.A.).Sahaba'(companions of the Holy Prophet SAW) and 'Taabaeen' (those who had seen anyone of the Sahaba in the condition of faith) in the Islamic army discovered the tomb of Hazrat Danyal (A.S.) His holy body was lying in the coffin in its original condition without any change. There was a letter written on a cloth in an unknown language, and it was tied on his head. Abu-ul-Alya and Moatarif Bin Malik are the renowned names among the group of Taabaeen who made this discovery. These people came to Hazrat Umar (R.A.) with that writing on the cloth. Hazrat Umar (R.A.) requested a famous Taabai, Hazrat Kaaba-al-Ahbaar R.A. (who was previously a Jew, and later on embraced Islam) to translate that writing into Arabic. Hazrat Abu-ul-Alia R.A. (a Taabai) says that he was the first person to read that translation. There was written in it:"All your history, your affairs, the captivating quality of your oratory, and much more which is to take place yet." Hazrat Umar R.A.'s victorious entry into the Holy House of Jerusalem has been mentioned in the Torah. There is a verse in the Surah 'Zakariya': "O daughter of Zion, shout with happiness. O daughter of Jerusalem", shout with felicity. Look, your king is coming. He is just. He is riding a donkey-- a mule or the son of a sheass. I will separate the cart from Euphrame. The feathers of the war will be broken. He will rule from the sea and the river to the land" These words are clear but the Christians consider that it means the entry of Hazrat Isa A.S. son of Hazrat Maryam A.S. as an alone traveler. So, they have changed the word of 'she-camel' to 'donkey.' This is a misunderstanding deliberately created by them. Because in the above-quoted prediction, though there is no direct mention of the Islamic conquests and Hazrat Umar yet there has been no king among the Persians or the Romans who has ruled the land from the coast of the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea and from the

36

Caspian Sea to the Gulf of Aden. This prediction is actually about Hazrat Umar R.A. and his companions. Now, we return to the original story. The king sent for Hazrat Danyal A.S. When he came to the king, the latter said, I have heard that you have the soul of gods in you, and you have the qualities of wisdom and insight. Many wise people and astrologers have been presented before me to read this writing, and explain its meaning to me but they have failed to do so. I have heard that you are expert in interpretation of dreams, and the solution of problems. Therefore, if you succeed in reading this writing, you will be given a purple turban as an honor, a heavy golden ornament will be gifted to you to wear round your neck, and you will have one-third share in the government." Then Hazrat Danyal A.S. replied to the king, "Your reward will remain with you. I shall read this writing for you, and shall interpret its meaning even if you give this reward to someone else. (Verse 3-18, Chapter 05, Danyal, and Torah) Then the king narrated his dream, and Hazrat Danyal A.S. interpreted it. In that dream, there are predictions about the different periods in the history of the world, and about the rise and fall of different governments. Of these predictions, there is a prediction which tells about the establishment of a special government thousands of years later, and this prediction is relevant to our period. He has named this state as "the state of hatred" and "the state of Sins. With the creation of this state, the end of the world will start; and due to the excess of sins in this land, this start will move towards its end. This will be the time for the emergence of two spiritual personalities (Hazrat Mahdi and Hazrat Isa A.S.), and two evil powers (Anti-Christ, and Gog and Magog. Unit - 15 : End of the Given Time - II Contributed By: Muhammad Shoaib Lahore - Pakistan The part of the prediction of Hazrat Daniyal (A.S.) we are interested in is as follows: "A king from the North will prepare his armies, and they will desecrate the holy fort. Then they will snatch the daily sacrifices, and the state of abomination will be established there." In the above-given excerpt, the desecration of the holy fort means the capture of the Aqsa (Farthest) Mosque by the Jews, and their drinking wine along with the samosas made of the pig meat. The snatching of the daily sacrifices means a ban on the daily prayers of the Muslims because it is prayer, not sacrifice, which is offered daily (five times a day) by the Muslims. The State of the Abomination which will be established after capturing the Holy Mosque of Jerusalem means the present Israeli state. How will this state be established? What will it do? Have a look: "The armies will support it. And they will desecrate the authentic and holy things, and will abolish the constant sacrifice, and will replace them with unholy and destructive

37

things. He will mislead those who will make evil plans against the Holy Scripture. But the people who 'will have Allah in their minds will do something (substantial)with the help of Allah." (Torah, page 846.... Daniel, Chapter 11, verse 31,32) The supporting armies of the State of Abomination are the armies of America and Britain. The creation of destructive and unholy thing means the construction of the palace for Dajjal at the place of the Aqsa Mosque. Misleading the evil-minded people means duping and misleading the Christian world, and using them for Zionist agenda. The words "the people who will have Allah in their minds will do something" refer to the unprecedented resistance of the self-sacrificing Palestinian mujahedeen. This is a clear indication of their true obedience to Allah, and their worth with Allah (SWT) which is a balm for their wounds. When will this state be established? This is the most important question of our discussion. We will discuss it with a reference to the research of some Arab scholars. We will mention this research later in this chapter. Hazrat Daniyal (A.S.) says: "Then I heard two voices from the unseen saying: 'For how long will the desecration of the Holy Place (Aqsa Mosque) continue?' The second voice replied: 'For two thousand and three hundred days. Then, this place will be cleared( of all unholy things)." (Torah: page 846, Daniel, Ch 08, verse 13, 14) It indicates that the State of Abomination will be established after 2300 years.2300 years, but from which moment onwards? We will discuss it later. Lets consider that prediction, first, which tells that this state will be finished 45 days after its inception. Hazrat Daniyal A.S. says: "Although I listened to the angels discussing it, but I could not understand it. Therefore, I prayed to Allah and asked Him: "O Allah, how will this game end?" Allah replied, "Daniyal, mind your own business. The words have been locked, and the affairs have been sealed. Now the mystery will be revealed at the end, the day when all the sacrifices will be snatched, and the State of Abomination will be established. After that 1290 days will be remaining. Fortunate are those people who will reach the end of 1335. But (O Daniyal) you are directed to carry on your affairs till the end of the world. You will be soothed" (Torah: page 847, chapter 12, verse 08,12) The Christian and the Jews interpreters are much confused and perplexed about this point. They do not know what meaning to infer from the mention of time in this sign because there is no such state in the world as was established after 2300 days, and may have ended after merely 45 days. But they should take help from the Torah, and should not be afraid of looking into the mirror. In the Torah, 'days' stand for years. For example, it is written in Hizqeel ( Ezekiel): "I have made a day equal to one year for you."

38

Therefore, in the above-quoted verse from the Torah, 45 days stand for 45 years. Now according to the prediction, that state will be established after 2300 years. According to the interpreters of the Torah and the Gospel, the beginning of these years is the time of Alexander the Great's conquering of Asia which took place in 333 B.C. So the state of Abomination will be established 2300 years after 333 B.C.(2300-333=1967) i.e. [Link] is the year in which the Israeli troops entered the holy mosque of Aqsa, and an incident of the terrible burning of the Aqsa took place. Although the state of Israel was established in 1948 yet Jerusalem, which was the actual target of the Jews, was captured in 1967. Now if this state is destroyed 45 years after its creation, it will be destroyed by Hazrat Mahdi, Hazrat Isa (A.S.) and the mujahedeen. And this will also be the end of Dajjal and the impudent and arrogant Jews. Some researchers of the present time like the renowned Saudi Arabian scholar, Dr. Safar Bin Abdur Rahman Al-Hawali are of the view that according to the formula of 1967+45=2012, the end of this State of Abomination or the start of the end is most likely to take place in or around 2012 A.D. (true knowledge lies only with Allah SWT). This research of Dr. Al-Hawali is not absolute and final. It is only a conjecture (keeping in mind the related predictions). The main point is that man should keep on acting upon the teachings of Islam and trying for the progress of the Muslims so that when death may come, he may have done enough for his life after death. These researches and conjectures are not meant to lead us into thinking that there will happen something after a few years so we can spend a little more time in carelessness and negligence. The Holy Prophet (sallallaho alahe wasalam ) used to mention Dajjal in such a way as his noble companions (R.A.) thought that Dajjal might be present in some nearby clump of trees though the Holy Prophet (SAW) knew well that Dajjal would appear in the later time near the Doomsday. The Holy Prophet (SAW) wished that the Muslims focus on the practical aspect of life, prepar themselves for the domination of Islam, and not forget Allah (SWT) and the Hereafter due to negligence or indulgence in the worldly pleasures. Same is the purpose of these predictions. They serve as motive and incentive to motivate us towards the attention to Allah, preparation for the Hereafter and the struggle against the evil. It will be stupidity on our part if we infer some other meaning from them, and become lethargic and careless about the Hereafter. May Allah bless all of us with profound wisdom and an obedient heart! (Ameen) Due to the same reason and policy, the Day of Judgment has frequently been said to be near in the holy Quran though there have been more than fourteen hundred years since the revelation of the holy Quran. Allah (SWT) says in the holy Quran: "When they wag their heads towards thee and ask, 'When will that be', say 'May be it will be quite soon" (Bani Israel: 51) The renowned truthful scholar of the Arab world, Dr. Safar Bin Abdur Rahman AlHawali, who has gone through many trials and tribulations as a punishment for his straightforwardness and truthfulness, says, "This(2012) is not an absolute and precise deadline. However, if the Jews want to bet with us as the Quresh bet with Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A.), we can say without any uncertainty that they will lose this bet to us." (Yomul-Gadhb(The Day of Wrath): Translated by Razi-ud-din Syed, page 174)

39

The Jews may lose this bet or not, the year of their defeat may be 2012 or any year after it; one thing that is certain is that they shall lose the land of Palestine, and shall face a crushing and humiliating defeat. And according to the Torah, fortunate are those who will side with and help the oppressed with their heart, tongue and hand by remaining consistent with piety and jihad, and weep and pray for them in their loneliness, have good feelings for them and wish to rise with them on the Day of Judgment. At the end of the State of Abomination, the true and noble people will sing the songs of happiness. Jerusalem will be purified. All the people of the earth and the heavenly creatures will praise Allah in the following words: "Praise be to Allah. For our honor, glory and liberation and fear, we are thankful to Allah Who is our Sustainer. His decisions are correct because He has punished that prostitute who had polluted the whole of the earth with her prostitution, and had shed the blood of the worshipers of Allah. So Allah has taken revenge from that prostitute." The one (prostitute ) who has polluted the earth with cruelty is America. The punishments of Allah mean storms, earthquakes and plague (AIDS etc) which will engulf America. After the abolition of the world evil, there will be the time of the world Good, and God will reward those worshipers of His who will humbly thank Him on the victory of the good against the evil. "Because then I will bless the people with the purity of the tongue. Then they will call out the name of Allah; those people who worship Allah joining shoulder with shoulder" When the Christian and the Jewish researchers come to this sign, they become dumb and speechless. They are confused about the point that if they will be the victorious, how will they sing hymns by joining shoulder with shoulder? It is a deliberate negligence on their part, and an alteration in the verses revealed by Allah to their prophets (A.S.). The whole world, especially the Christians and the Jews, knows it well that there is no other religion except Islam in which the worshipers stand in their prayers by joining shoulder with shoulder and seem to be a solid wall. And they recite the glory of Allah and the praise of Allah in hymns [Link] Fatiha. Unit - 17 : Negligence Ill-Behoves Us (Part II) Contributed By: Muhammad Shoaib Lahore - Pakistan Therefore, the purpose of the arrival of the Promised Mahdi in this world will be to help the weak and the helpless people who will be carrying the burden of their existence with much difficulty. They will be protecting their faith amidst the confusion of the world, and they will not know where to go for guidance. "Allah guides whomever He wishes to guide" is the reality which occurs repeatedly in the Holy Quran. History stands witness to the fact that the weakest people are always the first to embrace the light of guidance, and achieve the eternal redemption. In the same way, it will be the poor and the wretched

40

people who will take the oath of loyalty and obedience without any reluctance, greed or argument. It will be a powerful renaissance of those feelings and emotions which the Holy Prophet ( peace and mercy of Allah be on him) instilled in his companions (R.A.)A holy Hadith related by Hazrat Ali (R.A.) testifies the fact that Hazrat Mahdi will also revive the delicate emotions of love and devotion in the hearts of the Ummah. The one who is destined to be led to the right path will be allured by the attractive and charming personality of Hazrat Mahdi. This is the dividing line between wisdom and extreme love, where the pious heart surpasses the doubtful mind, and human wisdom and perspicacity prove to be ineffective and valueless. If pure wisdom and sagacity had any significance, Abu Jahl and Abu Lahb (two tribal leaders of the Quresh, and the worst enemies of Islam in Makkah) would have been the first to embrace the true faith because they were regarded as extraordinary and sagacious people, and were respected for their inborn talent and wisdom. But they remained deprived because of having no inclination to the Truth while Hazrat Bilal, an Abyssinian and Hazrat Sohaib, a Roman (both of them were slaves) R.A. achieved the honor in this world as well as in the hereafter. In short, these two personalities (Hazrat Haris and Hazrat Mansur) will pave the way for Hazrat Mahdi before his emergence. They, along with their leader, will revive the traditions of loyalty and sacrifice in order to bring the renaissance of Islam, and in this way cause the domination of Islam and the Muslims.

Some Points After this appendage, this topic is almost complete. Some points are being clarified, in the end. (1) Some people think what is the use of starting this discussion. This scribe also remained hesitant for some time. But an answer to this question has been given at the beginning of this series of articles that there is no harm in it rather it can prove useful. There is no harm in it because the signs of the false claimers have been repeatedly elaborated. The readers of these articles will, God willing, not be trapped by any false claimer rather they will play their role to oppose and counter such a false claimer. Another benefit in it is that if the time of Hazrat Mahdi is near, the pious and the wise people of the Ummah will prepare themselves for it, the mujahedeen will be encouraged, and the dejected people will be strengthened. And if it does not happen (during the life of the reader), the main purpose of this discussion is self-correction and an effort to follow the commands of the shariah. If a Muslim starts doing this then whether he finds the time of Mahdi or not, he will certainly pave the way for the companions of Mahdi. There can be no greater honor than this. Moulana Jalal-uddin Rumi says in his "Masnavi" (a collection of poetic parables) that the sufis (spiritual people) say to the people: "Death is near, get ready for it." But the philosophers say: "Death will not come before the age of 60 or 70, so no need to be in hurry." Take the example of a sympathetic person who advises a traveler: "Take some water with you as there is no water on the way." But the other adviser says: "Why to carry additional burden; there will be water on the way." Now, which one is a careful approach? A careful person will carry water. If he finds

41

water on the way, it is alright otherwise he will not die from thirst. In the same way, if Hazrat Mahdi, Hazrat Isa (A.S.) and Dajjal have been mentioned in such a way in Hadiths that the hearer is made to believe that their emergence is very near though they were first mentioned 1400 years ago, why these people should not be mentioned when the initial signs of the arrival of the Doomsday have emerged. The secondary signs have also begun to emerge, and the final signs also seem to be very nearby mentioning these signs, one starts remembering one's grave and the hereafter; one diverts one's attention away from this world. One becomes anxious about one's correction, and finds a special spiritual solace by having a wish to meet these holy personalities, and join their cause. This is a solace which is not found in any other thing because every action, every Sunnah and every flower of the shariah has a different fragrance from the other. (2) We commit a serious mistake when we think that only conservative clerics talk about Hazrat Mahdi and Hazrat Isa (A.S.) Most of us are unmindful of the fact that the Americans are very much religious people. They talk about Messiah" more than we do. Most of the Jews are anxiously waiting for some redeemer. They used to pray before 1967: "O God, let Jerusalem be ours this year." After capturing the Aqsa Mosque in 1967, they pray in the following words now: "O God, let the messiah come soon." The slogan Christ is coming" is very common among the Christians especially the British and the Americans. They are much eager about it. The Jews, the Christians and the Muslims are all awaiting some messiah. The Muslims and the Christians are waiting for Hazrat Isa (Christ A.S.) who will be accompanied by the army of Hazrat Mahdi. On the other hand, the Jews are waiting for Anti-Christ. The difference lies in the fact that the Jews and the Christians are preparing for it, and are paving the way for it in spite of the fact that many alterations have taken place in their religious predictions. Only the Muslims have true word of the Truthful Prophet (SAW) with them without any change. But they seem indifferent and careless to it, and curse those people who try to shake them out of this sound slumber of ignorance and indifference. (3) Since the establishment of Pakistan, the rulers of Pakistan have made so many false promises with Allah that this country has lost the justification of its creation. They have deviated from their promise of implementing Islam; they are indulged in every kind of hypocrisy. But due to the true faith and the sincere adherence to the religion of the people of this country, Allah will choose the sincere and kind-hearted Pakistanis (and Afghans) for the service of the religion (Islam). Therefore, this country continues to survive. We should never be negligent to this sole source of our survival and [Link] last thing is that I have not written all this by myself. I have tried to find out the contemporary compatibility of those holy Hadiths out of the collection of Hadiths which our elders have quoted and discussed in their books. If it is correct, it is all due to the grace of Allah, and the blessings of our elders. This scribe is well aware of his defects and ascribes the responsibility for any mistake to his own lack of understanding. I seek the forgiveness of Allah, and the guidance of His blessed worshipers. May Allah bless all of us with adherence to the right path, and a firm relationship with our elders (authentic religious scholars)! May Allah bless us with the recognition of the truth, and an ability to help the true people! Ameen!

Unit - 19 : Awaiting The Messiah Contributed By: Muhammad Shoaib Lahore - Pakistan Logic Behind the Miracles There is a logic behind the true miracles with which Hazrat Isa (Christ A.S.) was blessed with by Allah as curing the patients suffering from lethal diseases, reviving the dead from their graves, making the lifeless birds made from clay alive, and making them fly with a blow from his mouth, returning the sight of the congenital blind etc. Some people have described the wisdom behind it that the art of medicine was at its peak in the hands of the Greek physicians. Allah Almighty blessed Hazrat Isa(A.S.) with such a curing hand against the art of the Greeks as the experts could not imagine. This wisdom is a fact in itself. But keep in mind another angle of these miracles. The Jews were extremely indulged in materialism. They had forgotten Allah and the Doomsday due to their lust for the worldly gains and their Epicureanism. Covetousness and lust had made them negligent of the unseen realities. Under the influence of their instinctive desires, they were no more able to distinguish between the right and the wrong. They did not refrain from making alterations in the Divine revelations. This very thing will be the essence of the "fitna"(evil involving many trials) brought by Dajjal i.e. apathy to God, materialism, to forget the blessings in paradise and to be ready to go to hell due to the attraction and glamour of the mortal things. Hazrat Isa (A.S.) dealt a heavy blow to the rationalism and the mammon-worship of the Jews with the help of his spiritual miracles, and made them realize that Allah is above all material powers. It will be the worst stupidity to become slave to the earthly powers, and forget the Most Powerful Allah. Hazrat Isa (A.S.), through his religious and spiritual powers, taught a lesson to the materialists that the whole reality was not what they perceived; it was much more than they could imagine. The Jews did not believe him (Christ), and continue to have the same problem till the present day. As the arch-leader of the Jews, and the false messiah, Dajjal will be the greatest flag-bearer and supporter of materialism (which is the code of life in the West), and the Jews will also be in the avant-garde of his army, so Allah will send him again to this world so that he may crush the devilish powers of Dajjal, and the scientific powers of the Jews in no time. So, on seeing Isa (A.S.), "Dajjal will start melting as salt dissolves in water, or as fat starts melting in the sunlight." "Within the reach of his (Isa A.S.) breath, every infidel will die. And the range of his breath will be as far as that of his eyesight." "Every stone or tree behind which the Jews will take refuge will spy against them." In this way, at the hands of the truthful prophet of Allah (Christ A.S.), the greatest liar of the world, and most cunning and evil group will meet their death. Travelers of the Right Path. Although the Christians(May Allah bless them with the understanding of the right path) loved Hazrat Isa (R.A.) very much, but forgot the two requirements of true love when their love was subjected to a severe test i.e. the true obedience and sacrifice, and a disliking and hatred for the enemies of their beloved prophet (A.S.). So their problem lies

43

in the fact that they, instead of following and obeying Hazrat Isa (A.S.), considered him to be God, and instead of fighting against his enemies made friends with them. There will be no other people in the world who may start hating and fighting against the companions and volunteers of their prophet, but may go so far in the support of those who tried to crucify him (Isa A.S.) as to become the defense for their 'state of abomination. It is pity that the Christians, in spite of all their wisdom and intelligence which has proved instrumental in the amazing scientific and material progress of the west, are doing all this. The Muslims will stand by the prophet of the Christians, and will fight the greatest battle of the later times. While the Jews will support the Anti-Christ, and will fight a bloody war against the prophet of the Christians. In spite of all this, the hatred and the wars of the Christians are directed towards the Muslims, the same Muslims who do not consider it right to mention Christ (A.S.) without respect and love. Their(Christians') love and support is still for those Jews who disrespected all the prophets including Hazrat Isa (A.S.), and are, according to their own (Jews') belief and views, the killers of Hazrat Isa (A.S). The Battlefield for the Armageddon The three great religions of the world are awaiting Hazrat Jesus Christ (A.S.): Islam, Judaism and Christianity. In all three religions, there is a prediction about some messiah who will come as a redeemer. The difference is that the Jews consider the false messiah (Dajjal) their leader while the Muslims and the Christians are waiting for the true messiah (Christ A.S.). But the difference we are to discuss with an emphasis is that the Christians and the Jews of today are eagerly waiting for the emergence of the unseen messiah. The majority of the western people is believed to be atheistic or least interested in religion. But they are eager, curious and active about the arrival of the messiah. There are nearly 80000 fundamentalist priests in USA. Many of these priests broadcast sermons and speeches from one thousand Christian radio stations. They have also one hundred Christian television stations. Among them, there are many dispensationalists. These are the people who believe in the arrival of Hazrat Isa (A.S.) in the near future, and the Armageddon. The number of these people is increasing. The renowned educational institutions that preach Dispensationalism are The Bible Institute of Chicago, the Fladelfia College of Bible, The Bible Institute of Los Angles, and nearly two hundred colleges and institutes of this kind. The number of students in the Bible schools was more than 100000 in [Link] 80 to 90 percent of the teachers and the students are Dispensationalists. The graduates from the Bible colleges will become priests, and will preach their beliefs, or will open their own Bible schools, and will educate their students. These people have a firm belief that a catastrophic destruction is about to take place, but they will not suffer from any problem because they will already have got rapture. The followers of this belief are extremely fundamental in their views. Almost one fourth of the American population has got this belief. The financial aid to this organization is provided by many renowned and rich Americans. This movement is spreading at a great pace. Its purpose is to collect one billion dollars so that they may convey the message of Christ (A.S.) to every man on the earth. Sixteen thousand Christian priests, the number of whom is increasing day by day, enjoy a budget of two billion dollars per annum. Apart from that, full-time preachers convey their message to twenty million people, and collect

44

donations of more than half billion dollars. These people have an influence on every class of the American society. The renowned political and international personalities of America seem to be under their influence. There are many strange events about even the people like Ronald Reagan and George Bush Jr. If these events were not proved, it would have been difficult to believe that even such liberal people could have such conservative thoughts. For example, President Reagan talked to the priest Jim Baker in the following words: "Just think! There will be at least 200 million soldiers from the east, and there will be many millions from the west. After the revival of the Roman Empire (the western Europe), Christ (A.S.) will attack those people who had destroyed his city, Jerusalem. After that, he will attack those armies that will gather in the valley of Armageddon. There is no doubt in the fact that there will be so much blood from Jerusalem to the areas two hundred miles away from it that it will reach the bridles of the horses. The whole valley will be littered with war arms, the bodies of the animals and human beings, and blood. Such a thing is beyond our understanding. Man cannot even imagine such an inhuman treatment with another man. But on that day, God will allow human nature to expose itself. All the great cities of the world like London, Paris, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago will cease to exist." A famous American writer, Grace Hall writes in her famous book, whose translation in Urdu along with an introduction of the authoress has been published under the title "Why American Attack on the Islamic World" in the articles by this scribe, writes: "There has been such a president (Ronald Reagan ) in America for eight years who believed that he would remain alive in the days near the Doomsday; rather he hoped that this incident would take place during his tenure as president" President George W. Bush once boasted, I get direct instructions from God" Once during a plane journey, Mr. President, who is much active in the campaign against the fundamentalists, conducted a prayer ceremony in the aeroplane in which Ms Condoleezza Rice provided service to the travelers according to the rigid religious rites. These are the stories of two American presidents. For having a glimpse of the mentality of the other American people, let us have a look at the excerpts from the writings of the same American authoress. "Reverend Clyde Lot is a Pentecostal priest. He has interpreted a portion of the Bible in such a way that the construction of the third Temple Mount of the Jews will be completed before the second coming of Christ "(A.S.). Clyde orders the slaughtering of a red bull or a virgin cow after which the rite for the reconstruction of the Temple will be fulfilled. For this purpose, the ancient Muslim buildings like the Aqsa Mosque and Dome of Sakhra will have to be demolished. Clyde believes that this work will be done in time with the help of God." (New York Times: 27 Dec 1998) "At the end of 1998, an Israeli bulletin was seen on a website in which it was said that the purpose behind all this was to capture the worship-places of the Muslims, and to build the

Jewish Temple. It was written in the bulletin that the appropriate time to build the Temple has come. It was demanded that the Israeli government take steps to end the infidel Muslim control of the place. The construction of the third Temple is very near." "Israel needs only one event for the complete stage preparation of its last great historical drama. It is the reconstruction of a worship-place on its ancient land. In the light of the sayings of Hazrat Musa ( Moses A.S.), there is only one place where this worship place is to be constructed i.e. Mount Morian, the same place where the earlier worship places were constructed, at the place of the Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of Ascension." In short, the West, in spite of its materialism, is so much extremist that they are eagerly waiting for the Messiah. They believe that after the arrival of "the Holy Father", they will be lifted to the heaven, and will see the horrible Armageddon from the Grand Stand Seats. On the other hand, the Muslims, in spite of being religious minded, do not pay as much heed to the true predictions of the Holy Prophet (SAW) as they should do after seeing many signs. It is beyond comprehension that those very people are negligent to the waiting for Hazrat Isa (A.S.) who are to accompany and support him.
