The News about Mahdi a.s.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim... S. Mahdi’s first appearance was in Hijjaz, in Makka, on Mount Arafat. That was around 1960. It was a private appearance, only for Saints. 12,000 Awliya came and put their hands on his hand, taking Bayat with him.

Once, when I was passing through Beirut, on my way to Cyprus, I met a Sheikh from Lebanon, and I was a guest in his house. He asked me: "What news is your Sheikh giving about Mahdi a.s.?" I told him, that so and so many years ago we were on Arafat with Mahdi a.s. and 12,000 Rijalu’llah, Awliya, and that we all took Bayat with Mahdi a.s. I was with Grandsheikh at that time. He took me with him, like a hunter keeps his dog with him. When I said this, the Sheikh from Lebanon said: "You are right. I was in Makka Mukarrama the same year with my Sheikh, and we met a person from the Sudan. We asked him: "From where are you coming?", and he told us that he had come from Central Africa: "One year ago I was ordered by the Holy Prophet sws to be here this year to take Bayat with Mehdi a.s. I have been walking on foot for one year, and I have reached here..."

So the Awliya have already taken Bayat with Mahdi a.s. in that year. There is a second kind of Bayat, in dreams, for people who are not prepared to meet Mahdi a.s. physically. And now he is waiting for the order, and then common people will take Bayat with him.

He will appear for all people, according to the Lord’s command, in the Great War, Armageddon... There are one hundred and one hindrances which he must overcome, before he can appear. Ninety-nine of those hindrances have passed. Now only two are remaining...

‘Red coloured people’ have come to Afghanistan. They must also come to Pakistan, and then to Turkey. That is the first sign: Russians coming to Turkey... Huge Russian powers will be at the West of Aleppo. They will come up to the plain of Yarmuq(?) near Aleppo. At the same time the American powers will be in Turkey, in Adana, near the sea. There will be a great slaughter in that plain. The War will last three months and during that War, Mahdi a.s. will appear. It will be in a year of the Hajj-ul-Akbar.

Mahdi a.s. will appear on Hajj, where people will take Bayat from him... From there he goes to Damascus. He will make Takbir 3 times: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!" With those Takbirs the problem of technology is going to be finished, and it is going to be the signal for all Muslims to attack the devils...

There are 40 stations on S. Mahdi's way between Mekka and Damascus... He will come to the gates of Damascus, firstly to a place where the foot-prints of the Prophet Muhammad and his camel are on a stone... He will enter Damascus, and there the people will take Bayat with him.

Then there are 7 stations on his way from Damascus to Istanbul - Homs, Hama, Trablus, Halab, Konya, Bursa - and in Istanbul he will take out the flag of the Prophet from the Topkapi-Palace... But before that, the Padishah will appear and they will meet in Konya, where Mahdi a.s. will put on the sword of the Prophet and his coat, the Amanats...

After Mahdi has taken out the flag in Istanbul, the Anti Christ will come quickly through Khorasan in Iran, and run to Jerusalem, to go around the whole world from there for 40 days. He is now in chains- imprisoned on an unknown island that no one can approach - because he is saying: "I am your Lord", claiming to be the Lord of mankind, not just a prophet, but the Lord... He cannot move from there. He is Shaitan, the father of all devils. He is giving orders, and he has 30 deputies who are preparing people for his coming... And he is one-eyed...

Muslims are expecting S. Mahdi a.s. and they are waiting also for S. 'Isa a.s. to come from the Heavens. Christians are expecting Jesus Christ to come back from the Heavens, too. But the Jews, because they do not believe in S. 'Isa and S. Muhammad sws are still waiting for a Prophet from among themselves to appear...

There will be a heavenly announcement: "The enemy of Allah, Dajjal, has appeared. Whoever wants to save himself from him must go to Damascus, Makka or Madina". So believers will run because Dajjal will be after them. They will run like streams to Damascus, and all believers must be there for 40 days... Dajjal will go around the whole world, but 700 Angels, 700 Jinn, and 700 Awliya from Budala, Nujaba, Nuqaba, Autad and Akhyar will protect Damascus, so he won’t be able to enter.

Damascus is a holy area, the place of the Judgement Day, where twice a day come Nur, Divine Lights, and Mercy. This area covers all that a man can see from the minaret of the Umayyad Mosque, and its Baraka spreads for a distance of six or seven days’ camel ride in all directions.

After 40 days, Jesus will come down from the Heavens. It will be the time of the Fajr prayer, when he comes down in the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. He is coming down to a minaret of that Dome in the East, under which S. Yahya a.s., John the Baptist, is buried. Two Angels will protect him with their wings, and bring him down to earth. He will be wearing a green turban, and he will be shining. He has the most beautiful face, rosy and white. His beard is red, and he is sweating. And he has a sword. When he was on earth, he never touched a sword, but now he is coming as a Saviour, to save people from the hands of the Anti-Christ. His sword is a miraculous sword, a heavenly sword. It can reach any point to where he sends it. The Lord gave it to him...

He is not coming as a Prophet anymore, but as a member of the Ummah of S. Muhammad sws, following his Shariat. S. Mahdi a.s. will offer the place to Jesus to be Imam, but Jesus will refuse. S. Mahdi will lead the prayer once, and after that Jesus will be Imam... And S. Mehdi a.s. will be with him for 7 years...

Jesus will kill the Anti-Christ, break the crosses, and make clear the truth about himself and his mother S. Maryam... He will govern the Heavenly Kingdom on earth for 40 years. In his time, all technology will be destroyed, and everyone will be given miraculous powers, so that when you look somewhere and you say: "Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, by Your Divine Permission, oh My Lord, You honoured me to be Your deputy, I ask of You", and if He gives permission, you may put your step from here to there.

After Jesus has killed the Anti-Christ, there will be no more devils and evil in his time...people will live a life like in Paradise, Paradise appearances, Tajallis, will come on them... At that time, the purpose of Allah’s creation will appear.

'Isa a.s. will marry and have children. When he is going to die, he will be buried in Madina, in the fourth tomb next to the Holy Prophet, S. Abu Bakr r.a. and S. 'Umar r.a., that is empty now.

Then all believers will die by a sweet scent from Paradise. Everything terrible after that will come to the unbelievers, who will have started to re-appear during Jesus’ time... And the world will come to its end.
