p.3 What does it mean if the Mahdi is here?

There is a man claiming to be the Mahdi, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq and is deadly serious ...He says he is the successor to Jesus christ.

His religion claims to be of peace and light, it is Islam that claims it is religion of peace. We clearly have seen in history it is not.

Al-Mahdi is considered a Major Sign of the Qiyamah. This title means "the Guided One," i.e., he will be guided by Allah. It can also mean "the Gifted One.

Jews wait for the Messiah, Christians wait for Jesus’ return as messiah, and Muslims are waiting for both the Mahdi and Isa. All religions describe them as men coming to save the world.

Isa is not Jesus and Islam has another Messiah offered. Islam is well prepared to have its own Messiah to their religion, as long as it is not Jesus; a Jew.

The coming of the Mahdi is the central crowning element of all Islamic end-time narratives. According to Twelver doctrine, Muhammad ibn al-Hassan is the current Imam the promised Mahdi , a messianic type figure that returns with Isa,Jesus. Who will endorse him?

He starts humble, forced to accept leadership . Muslims voluntarily pledge allegiance to him.

He will win over people, including Jews and Christians. He will preach peace, justice and equity like Mamdani did in NY.

Do you think they do not want to see this fulfilled?

On his own site, he declares all who hear this call have an obligation to support it with everything they have and to pledge allegiance.

The following is called the riser.His followers claims he performed miracles such as resurrecting

Islam wants to unite the world under an Islamic caliphate wherein Sharia law will rule through its Islamic states. This is what the Islamic Republic of Iran is about since the Shah was run out. Many Muslims are awaiting and anticipating the 12th Imam Mahdi, the Muslim Messiah will eliminate evil and corruption. He will fight against the enemies of the Muslims (destroy Israel) who would be victorious… Islam will be victorious over all the religions. (Reference: Sideeque M.A. Veliankode, Doomsday Portents and Prophecies (1999) p. 277; Al-Sadr and Mutahhari, prologue, pp. 4,5).

"Rasulullah" means "Messenger of Allah", a title Muslims used to refer to Muhammad.

2 John 1:7 whoever denies Jesus has come in the flesh “is the deceiver and antichrist”

They contend that he will unite the Islamic world in the end of days, and three things will happen: He will lead an Islamic revival in which the Jews will be destroyed. Christians will forsake their belief in the Trinity. And Christians will acknowledge that Jesus is not the Son of God.

Narrated AbuUbaydah ibn al-Jarrah:

I heard the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) say: There has been no Prophet after Noah who has not warned his people about the antichrist (Dajjal), and I warn you of him. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) described him to us, saying: Perhaps some who have seen me and heard my words will live till his time. The people asked: Apostle of Allah! what will be the condition of our hearts on that day? Like what we are today? He replied: Or better . (Sunan Abu Dawud 40.4738)

The fact is, no one warned of an antichrist until the apostles, not after Noah, no such teaching. Islam would not know of any antichrist without the bible.

Islam says ,''If someone dies without knowing the Imam of his time, his death is that of an unbeliever.'' We must therefore carry out our duties to the Imam of our time, the 12th Alive and Hidden Imam (Al-Mahdi / The Guided One) who is still alive on Earth and in Ghaybat (concealment / hiding) Until Allah Commands him to Reappear.

There are various beliefs in Islam on the Mahdi.He is expected to be victorious and to usher in a new era of Islamic Caliphate.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatimah . Abdullah ibn Ja'far said: I heard AbulMalih praising Ali ibn Nufayl and describing his good qualities. (Sunan Abu Dawud 36.4271)

“The world will not come to pass until a man from among my family, whose name will be my name, rules over the Arabs .”(Tirmidhi Sahih, Vol. 9, P. 74; Abu Dawud, Sahih, Vol. 5, P. 207; also narrated by Ali b. Abi Talib, Abu Sa'id, Umm Salma, Abu Hurayra, quoted by Idara Dawat-o-Irshad, "Identification of the Prophesied Imam Mahdi" )

Shi'as and Sunnis differ on the identity of the Mahdi, with Shi'as believing that he was born in 868 and has been hidden by God (referred to as occultation ). However the consensus, is that he will later emerge to fulfill his mission at the end of days to unite the Muslims and with the help of Isa (Muslim version of Jesus).The Bahai’s who a cult of Islam believe that the Mahdi has already come to this earth and fulfilled all the prophecies, many of them in a symbolic sense. His name was Siyyid 'Alí-Muhammad-i-Shírází, known as the Báb (1819-1850). Conduct jihad (lit. struggle, more commonly, referring to warfare in Allah's cause) against the rest of the world.

Is there a person in the Bible that is described like al-Mahdi? There most certainly is!

The Mahdi is believed to ride on a white horse. Will either lead a large army of Muslims (from Khorasan) in the hundreds of millions throughout the world. Who will kill many Jews and Christians.

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man called al-Harith ibn Harrath will come forth from Ma Wara an-Nahr. His army will be led by a man called Mansur who will establish or consolidate things for Muhammad's family as Quraysh consolidated them for the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). Every believer must help him, or he said: respond to his sermons. (Sunan Abu Dawud 36.4277)

Hadhrat Buraidah (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "There will be many armies after me. You must join that army [that] [ sic] will come from Khurasaan". (Ibn Adi, as quoted by Mufti A.H. Elias and Mohammad Ali ibn Zubair Ali, "Imam Mahdi (Descendent of Prophet Muhammad PBUH)"

Muhammad ibn Izzat and Muhammad Arif, two well-known Egyptian authors, identify the Mahdi in the Book of Revelation , quoting the hadith narrator Ka'ab al-Ahbar .

They write,“I find the Mahdi recorded in the books of the Prophets… For instance, the Book of Revelation says: “And I saw and behold a white horse. He that sat on him […] went forth conquering and to conquer.”vc Izzat and Arif, Al Mahdi and the End of Time(London,Dar Al-Taqwa, 1997p. 1)

Just like the Book of Revelation says: ‘Izzat and ‘Arif then go on to say:It is clear that this man is the Mahdi who will ride the white horse and judge by the Qur’an (with justice) and with whom will be men with marks of prostration on their foreheads [Marks on their foreheads from bowing in prayer with their head to the ground five times daily].Al Mahdi and the End of Time(London,Dar Al-Taqwa, 1997 ibid.)

Some say that it was for this reason that Saddam Hussein had numerous murals painted all over Baghdad portraying himself as a Muslim Knight on a white horse with sword drawn doing valiant battle against the infidels. Al Mahdi and the End of Time (London,Dar Al-Taqwa, 1997 p.15).

The last Mahdi is said to usher in 7 years of peace. But according to the Bible there will be 7 years of tribulation for the world by a counterfeit Messiah. Following ` the Sunnah of Muhammad beheading is qalwo included. Islam is the only religion that continues to have beheading. In obedience to their Qur'an, which says, to cut off heads of unbelievers (Surah 47:4, 8:12)

They expect You to bow down with them 5 times a day to allah and want a caliphate or they want you removed

This IS A statement by the Mujahideen Shura Council in Iraq, Sep 26, 2006.a collection of eight mujahideen ( jihad fighters) groups fighting the United States:

Both you and the Romans, await the defeat as you see what happens everyday in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere as we are awaiting victory, martyrdom, triumph, enabling the Caliphate (Islamic state) that judges by the law of Allah. Then we will break the cross, shed the wine and we wont accept Jiziya (Islam or Death), Allah will give Muslims the victory in their war against the Romans and their final capital Rome like his Prophet Mohammed, peace upon him, has promised in the authentic Hadith and just as we were the victorious when we conquered Istanbul in the past.

This is what they see take place.Pay attention- its Islam or Death, no tax, and they have intention to take over Rome.

The bible speaks of those who are beheaded will be raised to life because they were obedient to God, Revelation 20:4 “Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand”
this is speaking of the ruler of the world, which islam calls the Mahdi.
