بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ IBU PEJABAT ISTANA KHAZANAH IMPIANIA NEGARA MALAYSIA RAYA SELURUH ALAM-ALAM SURGA DAN ALAM-ALAM ANGKASARAYA KESUFIAN
بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): There will be twelve Imams after me, nine of them are the grandsons of Imam Husayn (A.S.) and the ninth is the Qa'im. So blessed are those who would love them and woe to those who would be hostile to them. The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): If a person worships Allah for a thousand years between "Safa" and "Marva" (Two holy places in Makkah adjoined to Masjid al-Haram) and continues his worship for many more thousand years, but does not love us, Allah will cast him in the Hell-Fire. Then His Holiness(S.A.W.) recited this verse: "Say (O Muhammad) "I do not ask of you any recompense for (the toil of the prophetship) save love of (my) relatives" (42:23). The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): Only the illegitimate ones would feel enmity toward us. The Effects of the Enmity Towards Ahl al-Bayt (A.S.)
Allah's Displeasure The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): The night when I was ascended (Miraj), I saw that it was written on the gate of the Paradise: "There is none to be worshipped but Allah, Muhammad (S.A.W.) is His Messenger, 'Ali(A.S.) is his friend, al-Hasan(A.S.) and al-Husayn (A.S.) are chosen by Allah, and Fatima(A.S.) is His chosen one. May Allah's curse befall upon those who are their enemies. The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): Know that whoever harbors the enmity of Muhammad's (S.A.W.) progeny, they will be raised on the Resurrection Day with this phrase written on his forehead: "Deprived of Allah's Mercy. Imam Ali (A.S.): for those who harbor enmity toward us there shall be the onslaught of Allah wrath and dissatisfaction.
Entering the Group of Hypocrites The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): Whoever harbors enmity to Ahl al-Bayt is a hypocrite. The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): Be aware that if a man among my "Ummah" worships Allah, the Supreme and the High, all his life long but meets Allah, while feeling enmity and hatred towards my Ahl-Bayt and my followers, Allah Will disclose his hypocrisy. [Which means when his hidden nature is exposed by Allah, then people will come to know that he was a hypocrite.] Abu Sa'id khudri: We the group of Ansar knew the hypocrites by the hatred they felt toward Ali ibn Abi Talib (A.S.).
Joining the Group of the Unbelievers The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): There are three things which alienate any person from me: Harboring the enmity of Ali ibn Abi Talib(A.S.), bearing grudge against Ahl-al-Bayt(A.S.) and whoever says that believing is limited to only what one pronounces. Joining to the Group of Jews and Christians Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah quotes the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): O people! Whoever bears any grudge toward the Ahl-al-Bayt (A.S.),shall be mustered with the Jews on the Resurrection Day. I asked: Even if he performs daily prayers and fasts? He replied: Yes, even if he fasts, performs the daily prayers and regards himself as a Muslim. Imam al-Baqir (A.S.): A man came to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Is anyone who professes "there is no god but Allah" a believer? He replied: Harboring enmity against us causes a person to be included among the Christians and the Jews. You shall not go to Paradise unless you love me. And whoever thinks that he loves me and at the same time feels enmity toward Ali (A.S.) is a liar.
Deprived of Seeing the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) on the Day of Judgment The Messenger of Allah ( S.A.W.): Whoever is the enemy of my Ahl al-Bayt(A.S.) will not see me on the Day of Judgment. I will not see him either. Appearing with Severed Hands on the Day of Judgment The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): The one who harbors enmity toward us indeed Allah will raise him with severed hands on Doomsday.
Deprived of the Intercession Anas ibn Malik: I saw the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) walking toward Ali ibn Abi Talib's (A.S.) house reciting this verse: "And (during a part) of the night, forsake sleep for prayer, in addition to (obligatory prayers): maybe your Lord will exalt you to a praised position" (17:79). Then he said: O 'Ali! My Lord, the Supreme and the High has given me the right to intercede for my ummah, but this intercession was forbidden for those who are your enemies and harbor enmity against your sons.
To Become a Dweller in the Hell The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): I swear to the One who holds my soul in His hand, all those who are enemies of Ahl al-Bayt shall be thrown into the [Hell] Fire. The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.): O sons of 'Abdul Muttalib! I have requested three things from Allah for you: That He may give you perseverance, may lead those who go astray and bestow knowledge on those who are ignorant. I also requested from Allah to make you generous, brave and kind. So if a man among you stands upright at the station of Ibrahim and "Rukn" and performs daily prayers and fasts, but meets Allah while feeling anger and hatred toward Muhammad's(S.A.W.) Ahl al-Bayt, shall enter the Hell. Imam al-Sadiq (A.S.): Whoever becomes happy to know that Allah loves him, should follow us and obey Allah. Has he not heard the saying of Allah, the Glorious and the High that: "Say (O Muhammad (S.A.W.): If you love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins" (3:31)? I swear by Allah! All Servants who obey Allah, should follow us too. I swear by Allah that all those who follow us would be loved by Allah, I swear by Allah that all servants who refrain from following us, would become our enemies. I swear by Allah that whoever becomes our enemy is disobeying Allah and whoever dies while disobeying Allah, would be degraded and thrown into the Hell-Fire. Glory and praise be upon Allah who is the Sustainer of the worlds. Imam al-Kazim (A.S.): Whoever is our enemy is the enemy of Muhammad (S,A.W.), and whoever is his enemy has harbored enmity against Allah and whoever is the enemy of Allah the Glorious and the High, deserves to be cast into the Fire. Thus no one would help him.

SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA-NEGARA MERDEKA DAN RAKYAT JIWA MERDEKA(NAFSU BAIK)
Bila kita menyebut tentang kemerdekaan, ia adalah merupakan suatu pengertian yang telah menjadi sifat atau fitrah semulajadi manusia. Iaitu dengan lain-lain perkataan, kemerdekaan adalah sesuatu yang menjadi keinginan semua manusia di dunia ini. Tidak ada manusia di dunia ini yang tidak menginginkan kemerdekaan. Bahkan ia lebih menjadi suatu perkara yang dicita-citakan oleh setiap manusia. Cuma yang berbeza dalam pengertian setiap manusia di dunia ini adalah memahami apakah erti kemerdekaan itu dan bagaimana bentuk kemerekaan itu serta bagaimana pula usaha yang perlu dilakukan untuk mencapai kemerdekaan itu.
Dalam konteks ini, setiap individu manusia atau setiap kumpulan manusia atau setiap bangsa, masing-masing ada mempunyai fahaman dan pandangan yang tersendiri dalam memberikan erti kemerdekaan itu, bagaimana bentuk kemerdekaan itu dan bagaimana harus diusahakan untuk mencapai kemerdekaan itu. Dan dalam hal ini, kalaulah kita tanyakan kepada seorang individu tentang fahaman dan pandangannya terhadap erti kemerdekaan itu, kelak ada yang akan berkata bahawa kemerdekaan bererti bebas membuat apa sahaja, tanpa batas dan mengikut apa sahaja yang dikehendaki oleh hawa nafsu manusia itu, sekalipun berlawanan dan bertentangan dengan undang-undang,tatasusila dan hak asasi manusia lain.
Kemudian kalau kita tanyakan kepada kaum buruh pula .iantang fahaman dan pandangan mereka terhadap ertinya kemerdekaan, mereka pula nanti berkata bahawa kemerdekaan bererti bebas dari cengkaman kaum kapitalis. it bagi mereka, kemerdekaan bererti mereka dapat membuat tuntutan terhadap kehendak-kehendak yang diperlukan olel kaum buruh.
Dan kalau kita bertanya pula kepada golongan nasionalis tentang fahaman dan pandangan mereka terhadap kemerdekaan, mereka pula akan berkata bahawa ia bererti terlepas daripada dijajahi oleh bangsa lain ke atas bangsa dan negaranya. Dan bagi mereka,kemerdekaan bererti mereka dapat mengatur kehidupan bangsa dan negara samada dari segi politik, ekonomi, pendidikan, sosial dan lain-lainnya mengikut apa yang mereka kehendaki.
Kepada golongan kapitalis pula, kemerdekaan bererti mereka dapat menggunakan modal dengan sebebas-bebasnya untuk mendapat keuntungan sebanyak mana yang mungkin walaupun terpaksa menindas kaum buruh ataupun merosakkan akhlak manusia atau menempuh jalan yang haram.
Cukuplah kita paparkan sekadar itu erti kemerdekaan sebagaimana yang difahamkan oleh sebahagian manusia.
KEMERDEKAAN YANG MEMBUAT HURU HARA
Erti kemerdekaan yang telah disebutkan tadi, jika setiap individu atau kumpulan atau bangsa itu mengamalkan fahaman dan pandangan masing-masing mengikut cara masing-masing serta memperjuangkan-nya mengikut fahaman dan pandangan mereka sendiri,sudah barang tentu akan berlaku pertembungan dan pelanggaran antara satu golongan dengan golongan yang lainnya, antara individu dengan individu dan antara satu bangsa dengan satu bangsa yang lain. Akhirnya timbullah krisis demi krisis hingga membawa kepada peperangan dan pertumpahan darah antara mereka.
Akibatnya, lahirlah bermacam-macam bentuk jenayah dan kemungkaran di muka bumi Tuhan ini dan akhirnya manusia hidup dalam huru hara dan dalam kecelakaan.Kebimbangan dan ketakutan sentiasa menyelubungi jiwa manusia. Kalau demikianlah keadaannya, apakah ini yang dikatakan kemerdekaan?
Apakah dalam keadaan jiwa yang tertekan oleh kebimbangan dan ketakutan itu dikatakan jiwa yang merdeka? Sebenarnya, inilah yang dikatakan kemerdekaan yang bukan kemerdekaan! Kehidupan yang seumpama inilah yang digambarkan oleh Allah S.W.T di dalam firman-Nya yang berbunyi: Maksudnya: "Lahirlah kerosakan di daratan dan di /autan oleh kerana usaha manusia sendiri sehingga Ailah merasakan kepada mereka sebahagian dari (azab perbuatan mereka agar mereka kembali ke jalan yang benar. " - Ar Rum 41
Inilah yang dikatakan neraka dunia sebelum neraka akhirat. Apakah sudah masuk neraka dan merasakan azabnya di dunia ini lagi, dikatakan yang kita ini merdeka? Atau dalam lain-lain perkataan, dapatkah kita merasakan nikmat kemerdekaan yang kita perjuangkan itu kalau pada hakikatnya kita berada dalam keazaban neraka dunia! Apakah sudah masuk neraka masih kita mengatakan yang kita ini merdeka? Firman Allah lagi: Maksudnya: "Bahawasanya mereka, usaha mereka telah tersesat di dunia ini sedang mereka menyangka mereka telah membuat kebaikan. " - Al Kahfi: 54.
Rupa-rupanya, kemerdekaan yang dicari, neraka yang ditemui. Inilah akibat mencari kemerdekaan dengan mengikut hawa nafsu semata-mata atau mengikut fikiran yang tidak berlandaskan syariat. Usaha-usaha manusia seperti ini tidak sampai kepada matlamat dan akan berakhir dengan kegagalan. Mereka yang gagal mendapat kemerdekaan yang hakiki akan mendapat seksa neraka di akhirat nanti.

The blood shedding understanding amongst Evangelicals and some Muslims is wrong. A lot of Evangelists are sure that the Mahdi(pbuh) and the Messiah(pbuh) have arrived.
Some people will leave Hazrat Mahdi's (as) community
Our Prophet (saas) has revealed in the hadiths that some people will leave the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as), which will in any case number very few people. This is again a miracle from Allah. These people will depart from his side even though they are closely acquainted with Hazrat Mahdi (as), witness his attributes as revealed in the hadiths and also witness Hazrat Mahdi (as) performing deeds that we are told only he can perform. This means that, like the great majority of people, these people with such an opportunity to come to know Hazrat Mahdi (as) from close up will also not be properly aware of him.
This is how the hadiths reveal that some people will leave Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) community:
The army of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will suffer defeats from time and will be inclined to relax and not assume that hard task, and there will be those who abandon them for various reasons, such as fear for their lives, goods or rank... (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, p. 476 [from Sunan Ibn Majah])
Those who leave and those opposed to him will be unable to harm him. Despite those who abandon him, they will continue on the path of victory. (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, p. 487 [from At-Tabarani’s al-Mu'jam al-Kabir])
It is narrated from Muawiya ibn Kirra that: A group from my community will continue to receive help until the Day of Judgment. The departure of those who abandon them will do them no harm. (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, p. 472)
A group from my community will continue to act under Allah’s command. Since the truth is with them, those who abandon them and those who oppose them will do them no harm until the Day of Judgment... (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, p. 472 [Muawiya Ibn Kirra (ra)])
However, it is revealed in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) that there is something good and auspicious in these people’s leaving the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as). With the unmasking of insincere people who infiltrate that community of the truth, the mutual devotion of the members of that community will, by Allah’s leave, be further enhanced, and the departure of the wicked will strengthen them still further.
It is revealed in verses of the Qur’an that there will be people with a hypocritical mindset in every Muslim community. These are people who act together with the faithful, claim to share the same beliefs, but who are in fact insincere. These people, who live among those who live solely for Allah’s approval, and who appear on the surface to be just like them, are never actually true believers. Allah reveals the position of these people in the Qur’an:
Among the people there are some who say, “We believed in Allah and the Last Day,” when they are not believer. They think they deceive Allah and those who believe. They deceive no one but themselves but they are not aware of it. There is a sickness in their hearts and Allah has increased their sickness. They will have a painful punishment on account of their denial. (Surat al-Baqara, 8-10)
The hypocrites think they deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them. When they get up to pray, they get up lazily, showing off to people, and only remembering Allah a very little. They vacillate between the two – not joining these or joining those. If Allah misguides someone, you will not find any way for him to go. (Surat an-Nisa’, 142-143)
When they are told, “Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger,” you see the hypocrites turning away from you completely. (Surat an-Nisa’, 61)
When the hypocrites and people with sickness in their hearts said, “What Allah and His Messenger promised us was mere delusion.” and a group of them said, “People of Yathrib, your position is untenable so return!” some of them asked the Prophet to excuse them, saying, “Our houses are exposed,” when they were not exposed; it was merely that they wanted to run away. (Surat al-Ahzab, 12-13)
In the same way that such people have been present in all communities of true believers throughout the course of history, they will also be present in the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as). According to what is revealed in the hadiths, those who leave the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as), despite having spent years in it, will subsequently turn in the direction of the unbelievers. These people, who lack the same faith and sincerity as Muslims, who show no loyalty to Allah and the Qur’an, and whose fear of Allah is weak, may depart from Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the event of a situation that conflicts with their own interests.
The fact that there will be people who leave Hazrat Mahdi (as), despite his services in such a difficult period as the End Times and despite seeing his superior moral virtues, may also prevent other people in society from seeing the true facts. After abandoning Hazrat Mahdi (as), these people may spread lies and slanders about him and cause a great many other people to be unable to appreciate Hazrat Mahdi (as) or even misunderstand him entirely. A great many people will be taken in by the lies and baseless imputations of the hypocrites, for which reason they may be reluctant to support Hazrat Mahdi (as). (Allah knows the truth.)
In fact, this state of affairs is exceedingly important in terms of understanding just what a tumultuous period the End Times will be. Despite witnessing countless portents and other similar phenomena, the hypocrites in question leaving Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) side show just how far people will have turned away from the moral values of the Qur’an. The emergence of such people even from among those who know Hazrat Mahdi (as) well, at a time when good is replaced by evil and the lawful by the unlawful, indicates what a troubled time this will be. It is revealed in the hadiths that the End Times are a period when people who lack genuine faith, who do not fear Allah as they ought, will lose their beliefs:
The Day of Judgment will not happen until fitnah [tribulation, trial] appears like the parts of dark nights. People will rise as believers and go to bed as unbelievers, or go to bed as believers and rise as unbelievers. They will sell the faith for worldly gain. (Sahih Muslim; Ash-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 388)
There will be such fitnah [trial] in the future that apart from people Almighty Allah protects and preserves with His knowledge, a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening and will abandon the faith. (Tabarani, Sunan Ibn Majah; Muhammet Sevgili-Hasan Akdag, Son Zamanlarla ilgili Hadisler [Hadiths about the End Times], pp. 36-37)
A great many people will fail to recognize Hazrat Mahdi (as) on account of all the reasons we have been considering in this section. However, when the time appointed by Allah comes, everything will change completely. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear and everyone will know that he is a blessed personage appointed by Allah for the End Times. According to the hadiths, a period in which Hazrat Mahdi (as) is clearly known and when nobody will be able to deny him will, by Allah’s leave, be born:
A man [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will be called by name from the sky, and proof will not deny him and the despicable will not hinder him. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 52)
A voice will come from the sky, and no evidence will deny him [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] nor will he be prevented from being evidence. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 200)
A voice from the sky will call him by name and no one will doubt that he is Hazrat Mahdi (as). (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 47)
A hand will reach out from the sky, and people will look at and see him [Hazrat Mahdi (as)]. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 55)
With the dawning of this age, the years of disorder, trouble and difficulty will come to an end and a “Golden Age” will begin. The Golden Age will be a time of abundance of goods and products of all kinds. Trust and security, social justice, well-being, peace and happiness will be its main distinguishing features. Hadiths reveal the glad tidings that this age will be one when the world is full of peace. Technological progress will reach a peak during this phase of the End Times, and people will be able to enjoy all the blessings of technology. People will be so content with their lives in the Golden Age that they will be unaware how time passes and will beg Allah to prolong their lives so that they can enjoy more of this beauty. This delightful age, which will be ushered in by the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as), is described as follows in hadiths:
There would be a successor in the last (period) of my community who would freely give handfuls of wealth to the people without counting it. (Sahih Muslim, Book 41, 6961)
... The younger ones wish they were grown-ups, while the adults wish they were younger. ... The good become even better, and even the wicked ones are treated well. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 17)
Everywhere food will cook in pots, unseen prosperity will dominate, and material wealth will be disregarded. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 66)
At that time, my community, the good and the bad, will be blessed with blessings more numerous than they have ever seen. Allah will send them much rain. The earth will hold nothing back. Goods will be despised. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 16)
Like the cup fills with water, so will earth fill with peace. There will be no enmity left between any people. All hostility, fighting, and envy will disappear. (Sahih Muslim, 1/136)
Since their causes will disappear, there will be no hatred or dispute among people... (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 242-243)
Hear the glad tidings of Hazrat Mahdi (as) He is one from the Quraysh and from my Ahl al-Bayt." (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 13)
" HEAR THE GLAD TIDINGS OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS). He is one from the Quraysh and from my Ahl al-Bayt."(Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 13)
“The subject of the Mahdi” is one that has always occupied an important place in the Islamic world, ever since the Age of Bliss. Hoping that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be instrumental in making the afflictions Muslims have been going through, the intellectual systems based on denial, unfair and unjust practices, conflicts and wars pervading the world to come to an end, believers have always awaited the coming of this blessed individual in their own times and sincerely prayed to Allah for it to come about.
The hadiths of our Prophet (saas) speak of Muslims eagerly awaiting the coming of the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) ever since the time of the Ashab al-Kiram (Companions of the Prophet [saas]) and of their “begging Allah to be among the living at that time.” We are told that the old “will beg Allah to be young” in order to live to see the age of the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as). In the hadiths, our Prophet (saas) also tells the believers who will live in that time “to find and follow Hazrat Mahdi (as), even by crawling over ice,” and advises those who live to see this happy age to strive to be worthy of this blessing from Allah:
Ibn Abi Shayba and Nuaim Ibn Hammad in Kitab Al-Fitan, and Ibn Majah and Abu Na’im quoted from Ibnu Mas’ud. He said that:
"... He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] owns the earth and fills the earth with justice which was previously filled with oppression and violence. WHOEVER OF YOU LIVES TO SEE HIM, LET HIM CRAWL OVER SNOW TO HIM AND JOIN HIM. Because he is Hazrat Mahdi (as).” (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 14)
"In his [Hazrat Mahdi’s (as)] time, ADULTS WILL SAY "WISH I WAS YOUNGER," AND YOUNGER ONES WILL SAY "WISH I WAS GROWN UP." (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 48; Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 17)
"… THE LIVING (FOR OTHERS TO SEE THE GRACES THEY ENJOY) WILL WISH THE DEAD WERE ALIVE." (Al-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 437)
Nuaim Ibn Hammad quoted from Ibn Abbas: "Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a young man from the Ahl al-Bayt. OUR OLD MEMBERS WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE HIM, WHILE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HOPE FOR HIM." (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 23)
Nuaim Ibn Hammad reported from Tawus: "I WISH I WOULD NOT DIE UNTIL HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WERE TO APPEAR. For then, in his period the good become even better, and even the wicked ones are treated well.” (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 17)
"His [Hazrat Mahdi’s (as)] time will be one of such justice that THE DEAD IN THE GRAVES WILL ENVY THE LIVING..." (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 22)
This blissful time, for which people have been deeply longing for hundreds of years will, according to the indications in the hadiths, last “for more than half a century.” And little time now remains until these historic glad tidings, of such great importance to the Islamic world, finally come about. By Allah's leave, the timing given by the Prophet (saas) in the hadiths for the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is now imminent. The century we are living in, or “Hijri 1400s”, is “the century of the Mahdi,” by Allah’s leave. “The coming of the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as),” that people have been keenly awaiting and praying for over the centuries will, by His leave, take place in this century. Sincere Muslims living in this century and who eagerly, hopefully and enthusiastically await the coming of these historic individuals will, insha’Allah, be able to enjoy the honor of being among the Prophet Jesus’ (as) and Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) helpers, friends and close followers. They will be able to support the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) in their intellectual struggle against irreligious movements, in spreading the moral values of Islam across the world, in uniting the Islamic world and in causing the Christian world to follow the Qur’an and the true faith. Being among the supporters of these holy individuals, they will have the honor of being among those instrumental in the Muslim world attaining the peace, happiness, plenty and abundance for which it has longed for the last 14 centuries.
The hadiths of our Prophet (saas), books written by great Sunni scholars, and all the statements by worthy scholars who were mujaddids (revivers) and mujtahids (scholars who derive legal rulings) of their own times, all point to the present century. Almost all the events known as “The Portents of the End Times” have come about one after the other “like the beads on a necklace.” The developments taking place in the world on an almost daily basis show that we are living in “The End Times” and that “the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in this age, and the age that they will be instrumental in its being a most holy one is approaching.”
Everyone, whether or not they take a great interest in this reality, is by now well aware of it; the subject of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is being discussed on domestic and foreign television and radio stations, on chat programs, in newspapers and magazines, at conferences and on web sites. There is no doubt that this is an important sign revealed in the hadiths and foretelling the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as):
"HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR, EVERYONE WILL SPEAK ONLY OF HIM, DRINK OF HIS LOVE AND SPEAK OF NOTHING ELSE." (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 33)
One of the aims in the preparation of this book is to enable both Muslims excitedly awaiting the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) and everyone interested in the subject to obtain the most accurate information and access the most trustworthy sources; it is for them to be able to learn important facts regarding these holy individuals from valuable hadiths that have been scrupulously transmitted from the Prophet (saas) and down the centuries to the present day. In this way, Muslims, the Islamic world and everyone on Earth will be able to follow these significant events of such great importance for human happiness and to ready themselves for these historic events both better and faster.
People have not had the honor of seeing a “Prophet” for the last 14 centuries. They have been unable to meet and see such a holy person and to witness his deep faith, fear of Allah and superior moral virtues. By Allah's leave, this time is now the age when people will be honored by a “Prophet” after 1400 years. Allah will send the Prophet Jesus (as) back to Earth to support Hazrat Mahdi (as) in his struggle against denial. On this second coming, the Prophet Jesus (as) will adhere to the Qur’an and will be instrumental in the whole Christian world also obeying the Qur’an. The Prophet Jesus (as) will follow Hazrat Mahdi (as) and they will establish the global dominion of Islamic moral values under Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) spiritual leadership. This is a great blessing from Allah for people living in the current century.
The “Mahdi of the End Times” awaited for hundreds of years will only come once, and people in this century will have the honor of seeing this Great Person. Our Prophet (saas) reveals in the hadiths that “Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be the most virtuous person of his age.” We are told that his good manners and conduct will resemble those of our Prophet (saas). It is a great blessing from Allah for a believer to live in the same age as such a virtuous and holy figure. A Muslim must strive to find someone described as “the most virtuous person in the world” of his own day.
Allah's sending two such superior figures chosen by and beloved of Him at the same time is a great blessing. The information in this book will, by Allah’s leave, be instrumental in Muslims having a better understanding of this great mercy and these glad tidings from Allah, and getting ready in a much better way for the dominion of the moral values of Islam after so many centuries.
Cars in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) Hazrat Mahdi (as) is moderate of virtue and excellent of creation... HIS STEED WILL SHINE LIKE A FULL MOON. HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL GO AT THE HEAD OF THE MOST AUSPICIOUS COMMUNITY. They are enfolded by Allah’s religion; they will seek to approach Allah with him... (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 171)
The hadith suggests that “cars” will be one of the technical vehicles available in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), and that these will have headlights and interior lighting. It appears from the information provided in the hadith that the headlights of Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) car will also shine brightly.
Allah will inspire Hazrat Mahdi (as) with the truest law ... Hazrat Mahdi (as) WILL RULE WITH THE LAW OF THE PROPHET DAVID (AS) and will seek no witness or evidence from anyone. Shaykh al-Mufid says: "WHEN HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) APPEARS HE WILL RULE WITH THE SAME SECRET KNOWLEDGE AS THE PROPHET DAVID (AS), and will rule with no need for witnesses. (Shaykh al-Mufid, Kitab al-Irshad, pp. 365-366)
IN HIS [HAZRAT MAHDI’S (AS)] TIME NO EVIL WILL BE DONE TO ANYONE. (Al-Mahdi al-Maw'ud, Vol. 1, pp. 280, 300)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will restore and beautify the world NOWHERE IN THE WORLD WILL REMAIN DEVASTATED, AND HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL REPAIR AND RESTORE ALL PLACES. (Al-Mahdi Al-Mawud, Vol. 1, p. 264)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) who will appear is from the line of Hazrat Ali (ra). HE WILL BEAUTIFY THE WORLD AS NEVER BEFORE... (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani p. 169)
Hazrat Mahdi's (as) name and renown will constantly spread across the world Hazrat Mahdi (as), who is revealed in the hadith as coming in the End Times, is a holy individual awaited with great love and fervor by the whole Islamic world for some 1400 years, whom all Muslims at all times wish to live alongside, and blessed and charged with a most honorable task by Allah (God). Our Prophet (saas) reveals that Allah will send Hazrat Mahdi (as) as a great blessing for the entire Muslim world and that he will ‘cause Islamic moral values to prevail across the world. According to the information provided by our Prophet (saas), the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is now very close, and will soon take place. According to the indications in the hadith, Hazrat Mahdi (as) has already started work and is carrying out his activities among people. However, it is still uncertain who Hazrat Mahdi (as) actually is; people do not recognize him, even though he is among them, and do not know him by his title of Hazrat ‘Mahdi’ (as).
However, the hadith of our Prophet (saas) provide a great deal of detailed information, signs and evidence for people to be able to recognize him. One of the important pieces of information that provide a clue as to recognizing Hazrat ‘Mahdi’ (as) is that ‘Hazrat ‘Mahdi’ (as) name and fame will spread constantly across the world.’ Even if people do not know he is the Hazrat Mahdi (as), they will frequently see him, hear his voice, learn his ideas, follow his works and activities and speak often about him, in manners described in the hadith. The hadith reveal how during this time, people will frequently speak of Hazrat Mahdi (as), remember his name, talk about him and feel great love and fervor for him:
HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR, EVERYONE WILL SPEAK OF HIM ALONE; THEY WILL ABSORB HIS LOVE AND SPEAK OF NOTHING ELSE. 1
When Hazrat Mahdi (as) comes, PEOPLE WILL EMBRACE HIM WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION. 2
Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the most auspicious of people (in his time). His helpers and those who swear allegiance to him ... will have Jibril before them and Mikail behind. HE (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE BELOVED OF ALL LIVING THINGS. 3

Salama ibn Zufar relates: “HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR WHEN PEOPLE ARE WEARIED OF EVIL, SAVAGERY AND OPPRESSION AND WHEN NO PERSON LIVING IN RECLUSION IS AS GREAT OR LOVED AS HIM.” 4
Certain it is that he (Hazrat Mahdi (as)) WILL NOT APPEAR UNTIL HE IS THE MOST BELOVED OF PEOPLE due to the evils they suffer. 5
ALLAH WILL FILL EVERYONE’S HEARTS WITH LOVE OF HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]. 6
HAZRAT MAHDI’S GLORY WILL SPREAD ALL OVER THE WORLD THROUGH THE INTERNET, TELEVISION AND RADIO
In the End Times, the name and renown of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will spread constantly across the world. The Internet, television and radio will play a major role in this. We are told in the hadith of our Prophet (saas) that Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) renown will spread by way of images and videos carried over the Internet, television films and radio:
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will (spiritually) conquer both east and west and cause Islam (the moral values of Islam) to rule the world... ALLAH WILL BESTOW SUCH POWERS ON PEOPLE THAT EVERYONE WILL HEAR HIS (THE MAHDI’S (AS)) WORDS, WHEREVER THEY MAY BE and Imam (as) will give life to Islam...7
Certain it is that IN THE TIME OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) IF A BELIEVER IS IN THE EAST HE WILL SEE HIS BROTHER IN THE WEST. AND IF HE IS IN THE WEST, HE WILL SEE HIS BROTHER IN THE EAST. 8

Allah, the Blessed, the High says in the Holy Quran: "The day when We will call every people with their Imam" (Bani Israel: 71)
Allah, the High at various places, has promised guidance to the people. To fulfill His promise. He sent Prophets and Messengers (peace be on them all) one after another, who called people towards His religion, recognition and worship. When the Prophethood was completed with the advent of the last prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.s.). He introduced Imamat in the progeny of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) so that people may turn to them and save themselves from straying and attain eternal happiness. The greatest and the highest bounty of Allah from amongst His bounties is the presence of Imam (a.s.).
No other bounty can match this bounty. Other bounties have reached their relative position due to this bounty, without which all other endowments are imperfect. As it is mentioned in the Holy Quran, "This day (on the day of Ghadeer) I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion." (Maaedah: 3) "And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it)." Our guidance and salvation depends upon the fourteen infallibles therefore, it is obligatory upon us that we discuss and talk about this bounty.
We would like to make an important point over here. And that is, a believer should never give preference to any bounty over that of the mastership and love of Ahle Bait (a.s.). To consider the gift of 'Mastership of Ahle Bait (a.s.)' as light or equating it with other endowments like wealth, children, business etc. will lead to our destruction and devastation. The Islamic nations received the distinction of living with the thirteen infallibles and reap benefits from their holy lives. However, the majority breached their covenant with their Lord and the people who actually remained loyal and faithful, could easily be counted on fingers.
Instead of deriving benefits from their existence, the people oppressed and tortured them no end. Their barbarism and brutality had reached to such pits that had they been told to oppress the family of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.), they would have not been able to repress than what they actually did. Notwithstanding such-a disgraceful demonstration of ingratitude and inhumanity, the Merciful Allah did not snatch away the bounty of the physical presence of the infallibles (a.s.) from amongst the people, till the commencement of the occultation of Imam Mahdi (a.s.). It should be borne in mind that if Allah bestows bounty on any one without he deserving it, then this bounty of Allah is His 'Grace'. If He snatches the bounty after sometime, it is not injustice because he had bestowed it without the person deserving it.
On the contrary, it will be sheer justice. It is not obligatory on Allah that He should always deal with 'Grace'. But on occasions, He deals with His grace and on others, with justice. None of His dealings are devoid of wisdom. It is not necessary that we should . know the prudence behind all His actions. Whatever He does is sheer wisdom, whether we comprehend or not. We can comprehend the wisdom behind any of His action only in the light of the Holy Quran and the traditions. The intellect of men cannot comprehend the rationale behind His actions. However, from the divine practices of Allah is the practice which has been related in Holy Quran and the traditions is: "Surely Allah does not change the condition of people until they change their own condition..." "This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has conferred upon the people until they change their own condition..." (Anfaal; 53)
Imam Mohammad Baqir (a.s.) in the exposition of the above Quranic verses says: It is a definite and certain decree of Allah that when He bestows a bounty on His servant. He does not snatch it till the servant commits a sin which becomes the cause of its deprivation. This is the meaning of Allah's word "Surely Allah does not change the condition of people until they change their own condition". (Tafseer Noor al-Saqalain, vol.2, p. 488)
In brief, the actions of the people are the cause of Allah, the High, confiscating the bounty from them. Ameerul Momineen Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (a.s.) in the opening sentences of his famous supplication, Dua-e-Kumayl,says: "0 Allah! Forgive those of my sins which convert the bounties (into calamities)." The Divine practice shows that Allah's Mercy takes precedence over His Wrath. Therefore, Allah seizes the bounty only when people are ungrateful and unappreciative.
Thus, we are not aware of the actual wisdom behind the occultation of Imam-e-Asr (a.t.f.s.) and according to some traditions. Imam Zaman (a.t.f.s.) will himself give the reason of his occultation when he reappears. However, one of the reasons that we are familiar with is that occultation is due to the anger of Allah on account of the ingratitude of the people. The physical presence of Imam (a.s.) among the people was the greatest bounty of Allah upon the people that was snatched from them. While explaining the importance of the physical presence of Imam (a.s.). Imam Reza (a.s.) says: "Imamat is complete religion, the foundation of Islam, the basis of all goodness, the discipline of the nation, the path to Allah and the light through which people acquire guidance." Imam Mohammad Baqi'r (a.s.) says: "Islam is based on five principles -Namaz, Zakat, Fasting, Ha] and the Mastership (ofAhle Bait (a.s.)) and the manner in which importance has been given to Mastership no other thing has been given such importance." (al-Kaafi, vol.2, p.l8) While explaining the following Quranic verse. Imam Mohammad Baqir (a.s.) says: "Then believe in Allah and His Messenger and the light which We have sent down", "By Allah in the above verse, 'light' refers to the Imams from the progeny of Mohammad (s.a.w.s.) till the day of Judgment and by Allah these are the 'lights' which Allah has sent. And by Allah, they are the 'lights' in the heavens and on the earth... By Allah the 'light' of Imam in the hearts of the believers, is brighter than the shining sun." (Tafseer Noor al-Saqalain, vol. 5, p. 321)
When people disregarded this great bounty, Allah, the High concealed Imam-e-Zaman (a.s.) from their eyes. No other calamity can be greater than this concealment of Imam (a.s.) from the sights of the people. The simile of the above is like a child who is left alone in darkness to seek out his way, he is not aware of its beginning nor its end. Resultantly, he will fall a prey for the beast or will become needy of somebody. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says:
"When Allah, the Blessed and the High is angry with His creation then He makes us -the Ahle bait (a.s.), distanced and away from the people." (al-Kaafi, Chapter of Occultation, Tradition No. 31)
The presence of Imam (a.s.) among the people to solve their questions and problems is a divine grace of immeasurable magnitude. The concealment of Imam (a.s.) from the sights of the people and their helplessness to reach the Imam (a.s.) is the justice of Allah. Grace takes precedence over justice but the disobedience and ungratefulness of the Muslims has replaced the grace of Allah with His justice. It is an irrefutable reality that the benefits that we would have enjoyed in the physical presence of Imam (a.s.), are not available now. It is a great loss and nothing can make the loss 'good. We only are to be blamed for the loss and nobody else. One question arises here: The cause of occultation was due to the disobedience and ingratitude of the earlier Muslims. Then why are we suffering for their action and misdeeds? Is it not injustice?
Answer: Firstly, as we have already mentioned that if Allah has kept His Proof among the people, then it is His grace. And if He conceals Him, then it is His justice. Secondly, we are also responsible for the occultation of Imam-e-Asr (a.s.) by our conflicts, internal fighting, sins, misdemeanours, etc. These actions are the cause of prolonging the occultation of Imam (a.s.). Imam-e-Zaman (a.s.), in one of his 'Tawqee' to Sheikh Mufeed (a.r.) writes: "If the hearts of our Shias (may Allah give them the taufeeq of His obedience) were united in their fulfillment of the covenant (of Shiasm), then certainly our meeting with them would have not been delayed". The words of Imam (a.s.) show that our disunity not only makes him sorrowful but is also a cause of prolongation of his occupation and loneliness. In other words, our actions and sins are the cause of sorrow and grief for our Imam (a.s.). If we sincerely love our Imam (a.s.) then let all of us take this oath that we will not commit sins and disobey Allah the Almighty, as these sins deprive us of our Imam and consequently, we lose the greatest bounty of Allah, the High. On the flip side, if we keep our covenant and refrain from sins, we can undo the misdeeds of the earlier Muslims and can obtain the privilege of an earlier meeting with our Imam (a.s.).
A response to the claim that "one must know Arabic and the proper recitation of the Qur'an in order to understand the Qur'an and the hadiths": Hazrat Mahdi (as) will use internet knowledge
1) In our day there are hundreds of millions of Arabs around the world reading the Qur’an and the hadiths flawlessly in their native languages. However this proves to be insufficient to know the Qur’an and live by it.
2) Knowing the Qur’an and living by it becomes possible by sincerity. What matters is not knowing the Qur’an and the hadith by heart but to understand them and live by them sincerely. Allah relates in the Qur’an thus: “You will be repaid for what you did- except for Allah’s sincere servants”. (Surat as-Saffat, 40 and 74)
3) In these countries there are thousands of communists, irreligious or Darwinist people. If they wish, these people, who speak Arabic fluently, can read the Qur’an flawlessly. This is not a sign showing their devoutness and fear of Allah.
4) The people who oppressed Muslims in the past and became instrumental in holding many Muslims under severe conditions of prisons in Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia also speak very good Arabic. There are also freemasons, communists and fascists who read the Surah Al-Fatiha of the Qur’an very well. Consequently it is a flawed rationale to say, “Those who know Arabic are good Muslims” and “Those who do not speak Arabic are not good Muslims.”
5) Darwinists, materialists, atheists, communists around the world are not influenced by one’s knowledge of Arabic or tawjeed (perfecting the recitation of the Qur’an) but his piousness. They are scared to death by the knocking off Darwinism through science and philosophy.
6) Indeed the most important and influential feature of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be his ‘profound faith’. Otherwise, HAZRAT MAHDI (as) WILL ALSO BE ILLITERATE like our Prophet (saas).
7) Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not have time to make detailed research about many subjects, learn foreign languages or explore the origins of languages. However, this state will not influence the perfection of his service. Bediuzzaman stated that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will “NOT BE AVAILABLE IN TERMS OF TIME AND STATE, FOR THIS REASON HE WILL BENEFIT FROM READY WORKS.”
Since preserving believers from depravity (preventing believers straying from the true path) and that this duty necessitates leaving behind the world and everything, and being occupied with research and bringing forth the truth, all of which requires a great deal of time, HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL HAVE NO TIME OR MEANS TO PERFORM THAT TASK HIMSELF. Governance in the struggle of succeeding Muhammed [in other words, the great efforts made to spread Islam, bequeathed to Muslims by our Prophet (saas)] leaves no time for that. Someone before him will probably be engaged in that duty in one respect.
THAT PERSON WILL MAKE A READY PROGRAM OF RESEARCH ALREADY CONDUCTED AND WRITTEN BY THAT COMMUNITY. He will fulfill that first duty in its full sense, by which he will have fulfilled his first duty. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Emirdag Addendum, p. 266-267)
8) Sheikh al-Akbar Muhyiddin Arabi mentioned Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) “ministers”, in other words, “ students” who will help him in many works.
Know that when Hazrat Mahdi (as) appears all Muslims, high and low, will rejoice. THERE WILL BE PEOPLE (students) WHO HAVE DIVINE OR SPIRITUAL SUPPORT. They will keep his (Hazrat Mahdi’s (as)) call alive and HELP HIM (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)) AND MAKE HIM VICTORIOUS. They will assume all the heavy burdens of the nation.
THEY WILL SUPPORT HIM (Hazrat Mahdi (as)) UPON THE TASK IMPOSED ON HIM BY ALLAH...
The people … he (Hazrat Mahdi (as)) trusts, THOSE LEADERS, WILL BE THE MOST CERTAIN OF ALL THE TRUSTWORTHY.
... ALLAH HAS APPOINTED A GROUP OF LEADERS TO HIM (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS))...
... THESE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO POSSESS TRUE KNOWLEDGE ON ALL MATTERS.
... ONE DISTINGUISHING FEATURE OF THESE LEADERS IS THAT THEY ARE NEVER DEFEATED ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE (IN THE INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE AGAINST DENIERS AND IRRELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS)... (Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi, Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyah, 366. bab, Vol. 3, pp. 327- 328)
9) In addition, one of the most important attributes of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is that he will be equipped with wisdom and knowledge from Allah. This is described as follows in the hadiths:
The Mahdi is from us, from the Ahl al-Bayt. ALLAH WILL PERFECT* HIM IN A NIGHT. (* i.e., will forgive him, or give him success and the inspiration of wisdom and guidance) (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol:10, Bab: 34, p. 348)
“O Ahl al-Bayt! The Mahdi (as) is one of us. Allah, the Great and Glorious, WILL PURIFY HIM (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)) AND SHOW HIM THE TRUE PATH IN A SINGLE NIGHT.” (Ash-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 437)
10) By Allah’s blessing, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will possess a glorious knowledge. In the hadiths it is related that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be equipped with “HIDDEN AND SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE, SUCH AS ILM AL-LADUN, BESTOWED BY ALLAH”. Muhyiddin Arabi relates this feature of Hazrat Mahdi (as) as follows:
1- HE HAS A STRONG SENSE OF PROVIDENCE
2- He comprehends the Holy Book.
3- He knows the meanings of the verses
4- HE KNOWS THE STATE AND BEHAVIORS OF THE PEOPLE HE ASSIGNS
5- He sticks to mercy and justice even when he gets angry
6- He knows to which classes beings belong
7- HE KNOWS THE INEXPLICIT ASPECTS OF ISSUES because a leader who is aware of them does not err in his judgments. Hazrat Mahdi (as) knows the science of comparison not to command with it but to avoid it. That is because, his command will be the conclusion of a right inspiration. That is to say, he will command in the light of the Qur’an brought by our Prophet (saas). For this reason our Prophet (saas) described him as follows: “He will follow in the footsteps of mine and will not err.” From this we understand Hazrat Mahdi (as) is not the one who brings a new religion but the one who complies with the Qur’an.
8- He very well knows the needs of people Because Allah chose him over other people so as to make him fulfill all sorts of works of people. The acts and works of leaders should serve the interests of other people rather than him…A leader who gets involved with issues contrary to the benefits of public and neglects their works should be dismissed, for there exists no difference between him and others.
9- HE KNOWS THE HIDDEN SCIENCES THAT ARE NEEDED ESPECIALLY IN HIS TIME, because he can resolve the issues only by them. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 189)
11) Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) main attribute is that he is enormously wise, profoundly faithful and scrupulous. Indeed, for a reviver and a great scholar deducing judgment from the Qur’an and the hadith, what is important and needed is his deep faith and conscience.
12) Besides in the End Times Allah will give the computer and internet technology to the service of Hazrat Mahdi (as). INSTEAD OF MEMORIZING AND HIS OWN MEMORY, HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL USE THE MEMORY OF INTERNET AND COMPUTER, AND THUS WILL REACH ENORMOUS KNOWLEDGE. Indeed no one in this world has information as much as Internet. Noone can keep the accumulated knowledge of thousands of people in his memory; this can only be accomplished by Internet. Consequently Hazrat Mahdi (as) will reach all sorts of information by means of Internet and use all the information achieves of the time. Whenever he wishes, all the information in the world will be brought to him in an outline form. Normally while a scholar only uses his own knowledge, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will employ a very wide commission of consultants and information storage through the Internet. He will get hold of the most right and most perfect information by benefitting the knowledge of best experts and scholars of his time.
13) BY MEANS OF THE WEALTH OF INFORMATION ON INTERNET HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL NOT NEED TO MEMORIZE THE QUR’AN, THE HADITH AND OTHER KIND OF INFORMATION. In the past the conditions of the time made it compulsory to learn Arabic and thus it was important to memorize the Qur’an in Arabic. However IN OUR DAY THE QUR’AN IS RENDERED INTO ALL LANGUAGES. Consequently the Internet eliminates this necessity because Internet provides all kinds of information. In order to be expert on the interpretation of the Qur’an and its recitation in compliance with its style, the Arabic roots of all the words and their use in other languages should be known. For this one needs to also know various languages such as Persian and Hebrew. However it is obvious that no one can know the content of all dictionaries by heart. For this end one needs computer and Internet. Various meanings of each Arabic word, the original Quran and its interpretation in various other languages, the Arabic versions of the hadith included in the Al-Kutub as-Sittah and the meaning of each word with their explanations are available on the Internet. Everyone having access to Internet can rapidly reach this information. HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) will also use this information on the Internet and will benefit from many researches in many languages such as Arabic, Persian and Hebrew and linguists and a wide cadre of scholars. THIS WAY HE WILL KNOW ARABIC DOWN TO ITS MOST ANCIENT ORIGINS. Besides all branches of science such as genetics, molecular biology, paleontology, bio-chemistry and information about every subject are available on the Internet. Such information that no one can know by heart are given to the service of humanity as a blessing of Allah. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also have access all this information.
14) AS A RESULT OF ALL THESE HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL HAVE AN UNIQUE INFORMATION OF THE WORLD AND HE WILL DETERMINE WHAT IS RIGIHT AS A CONSEQUENCE OF ALL THIS ACCUMULATED INFORMATION BY HIS PERSONAL CONVICTION. BECAUSE HE WILL ACT BY ALLAH’S INSPIRATION HE WILL NOT ERR AND HE WILL MAKE THE MOST PERFECT COMMENTS AND JUDICIAL OPINION. As a result even the most perfect scholar will have insufficient knowledge compared to the knowledge possessed by Hazrat Mahdi (as).
FOR THIS REASON HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL HAVE THE ATTRIBUTE OF BEING THE GREATEST REVIVER AND A GREAT SCHOLAR OF HIS TIME WHO DEDUCES JUDGMENTS FROM THE QUR’AN AND THE HADITH.
15) Apart from making a good use of the knowledge of his time, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also employ consultation in a very good way. This way he will conscientiously assess the truest knowledge in the most pertinent way. AND HE WILL BE INNOCENT IN THE DECISIONS HE MAKES. Muhyiddin ibn ‘Arabi relates a related hadith of our Prophet (saas) as follows:
It is for this reason that while describing Hazrat Mahdi (as) our Prophet (saas) said, “He will follow in my footsteps; he will not err.” We understand from this explanation Hazrat Mahdi (as) is not the one who brings Sharia (sacred law of Islam), but the one who abides by it. (That is to say, he will not bring a new Book but comply with the Qur’an.) At the same time HE IS INNOCENT OF SINS, meaning HIS INNOCENCE IN JUDGMENT. That is because only our Prophet (saas) is virtuous in its real sense. However Hazrat Mahdi (as) is not a prophet but a wali (saint). Walis are protected from committing sins. They are not innocent. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 190)
16) Hazrat Mahdi (as) is from us, from the Ahl al-Bayt. ALLAH WILL PURIFY* HIM IN ONE NIGHT. (* i.e., will forgive him, or give him success and the inspiration of wisdom and guidance) (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol:10, Bab: 34, p. 348)
“O Ahl al-Bayt! Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of us. ALLAH, the Great and Glorious, WILL PURIFY HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] AND SHOW HIM THE TRUE PATH IN A SINGLE NIGHT.” (Ash-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 437)
As is expounded in details in the previous parts, our Prophet (saas) related that “extraordinary atrributes and sciences will be bestowed to Hazrat Mahdi (as) from Allah’s Sight in one night.” However the pharase “IN ONE NIGHT” also implies to every sort of information that one can access very rapidly through Internet, and Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) increase of knowledge by accessing to this information in one night. Employing the technology of Internet, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be instrumental in communicating the morality of Islam and in rendering them faithful by means of the communication means such as radio, television and cellular phones.
This guidance duty of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is also stressed in other hadiths. Our Prophet (saas) draws attention to the activities Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his students engages especially at nights is stressed as follows:
Similar to those who fought in Badr, he will command the 313 people and challenge unbelievers. That is because these 313 people will have the attributes of worshippers by night and heros by day. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 169)
He will defy those around by keeping control of these 313 people in his hand, like the warriors of the battle of Badr. THESE 313 ARE DEVOUT BELIEVERS BY NIGHT and heroes by day. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 169)
They consist of a group, including women, of 314 people. They will overcome all tyrants. Their hearts are like iron, and they are lions by day and DEVOUT BELIEVERS BY NIGHT. Neither those before nor after them can match them in self-sacrifice. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 57-58)
As Bediuzzaman also states, the hadith above states that Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers will use Internet at nights and thus have accesss to all kinds of information and guide people to the truth. The phrase “they are... DEVOUT BELIEVERS BY NIGHT” in the hadith expresses that Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers will continue their activities of communicating the religion also by night by means of, television and radio. As the verse in the Qur’an “Certainly rising at night has a stronger effect and is more conducive to concentration.” (Surat al-Muzzammil, 6) also refers, just as how our Prophet (saas) communicated Allah’s religion at nights, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also enlighten many subjects and inform people at nights.
17) Indeed, in many of the hadith of our Prophet (saas) there are signs to the “perfection of this internet technology given to the service of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers and non-dependence on memorization”. Some of these hadiths are as follows:
... THEY [THE FOLLOWERS OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL POSSESS THE POWER TO TRAVEL THE WORLD IN MINUTES. (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 52, p. 318; Mikyaal al-Makaarem, Vol. 1, p. 148 from Basaaer al-Darajaat)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers will be able to communicate with every point of the world by means of internet in only minutes.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) HE WILL SEE THE WHOLE WORLD AS IF IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol.52, p. 328)
It appears from the hadith that Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers will make use of internet technology in the End Times.
According to Muhammad, son of Imam Jaffar Sadik, the imam said: "WHEN THE QAIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] APPEARS, he will send a messenger to every country, and will say to them: "YOUR AGREEMENT IS IN YOUR HAND. If you encounter a situation you do not understand and find it difficult to rule on, LOOK AT YOUR HAND AND DO WHAT IS WRITTEN THERE..." (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 381)
In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), administers will make research and communicate by means of the palm-computers and computer-like cellular phones over the internet.
