Signs of the Mahdi
According to Moojan Momen, among the most commonly reported signs that presage the advent of the Mahdi in Shia hadith are the following:
Before his coming will come the red death and the white death.
The red death is the sword and the white death is plague. (See also Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse)
Several figures will appear: the one-eyed Dajjal, the Sufyani and the Yamani. Another figure, the Pure Soul (an-Nafs az-Zakiyya), will be assassinated.
The sun will rise from the West (a hypothesis: Changing the Earth's Rotation[11]) and a star will appear in the East giving out as much light as the moon.
The Arabs will throw off the reins and take possession of their land, throwing out the authority of the foreigners.
A caller will call out from heaven.
There will be a great conflict in the land of Syria until it is destroyed.
Death and fear will afflict the people of Baghdad and Iraq.
A fire will appear in the sky and a redness will cover them.
According to Imam Jaffar Sadiq, after the second coming of Imam Mehdi his face shall appear in the moon.
Imam Mehdi and Dajjal both shall raise the dead, thereby making it very difficult for Believers to ascertain who is the real Mehdi.
Dajjal's raising of the dead shall be a trick, as he will order a Jin to enter a soulless dead body and move and speak from within that dead boy.
If someone recites Quran especially Ayat-ul-kursi that body shall fall dead again.
Imam Mehdi's followers shall organize themselves into an army and the followers of Jesus Christ shall also become an army and both these armies shall unite to defeat the army of Dajjal (Anti Christ) in the last war of Human history on earth.
[edit] Sunni views
The coming of the Mahdi is a disputed notion within Sunnis.
The concept is not mentioned directly in the Quran or Sahih al-Bukhari; however, the Mahdi is mentioned in the Sahih Muslim collection of ahadith[12].
According to scholar Cyril Glasse, "Belief in the Mahdi has been rejected by noted Sunni authorities as being a Messianism … various Hadith about the Mahdi appear to be inventions to support political causes",[2] It is also reported to be denied by the Ahle Quran.
On the other hand it is found in Sunan Abi Dawud, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi[citation needed] and "some non-Shiite Muslims believe that the Mahdi will come in addition to the Second Coming of Jesus."[2]
Al-Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ja’far al-Katani said: "The conclusion is that the hadiths narrated concerning the Mahdi are mutawatir, as are the hadith concerning the Dajjal and the descent of Jesus the son of Mary, upon whom be peace."[citation needed] Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Hajar al-Haytami in his fatwa titled The Brief Discourse on the Portents of the Awaited Mahdi, said that denial of the Mahdi is disbelief.[citation needed] Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti in his book The Rose Fragrance Concerning the Reports on al-Mahdi, wrote, "This is the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah, this is the belief of the Sufis, this is the belief of our Shaykhs, and this is the belief of the true Shadhili Shaykhs, whose path both al-Suyuti and al-Haytami followed. Whoever differs with them is a liar and an innovator."[citation needed]
Of those Sunnis that hold to the existence of the Mahdi, some believe the Mahdi will be an ordinary man, born to an ordinary woman. Umm Salamah said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) say: 'The Mahdi is of my lineage and family…'.
— Sunan Abu Dawud, 11/373; Sunan Ibn Maajah, 2/1368.
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri said:
The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) said: "He is one of us…"
— Reported by Abi Na’eem in Akhbaar al-Mahdi, see al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, 5/219, hadith 5796.
The Naqshbandi Haqqani Sufi Order, under the leadership of Shaykh Nazim and his khalifah Shaykh Hisham Kabbani of Islamic Supreme Council of America (ISCA), is among the Sunnis/Sufis who strongly believe the coming of Imam Mahdi in this 21st Century is imminent. Shaikh Hisham has written a book "The Approach of Armageddon" that touches much on this subject according to Sunni doctrine and beliefs.
In the light of traditions and interpretations, the personality of the Promised Mahdi would be as such:
It is said "predictions and lore concerning the Mahdi abound".[2] Among them are that the promised Mahdi would be a Caliph of God and that to make a covenant with him is obligatory. He would belong to the House of Muhammad and would be in the line of Imam Hussein. His name would be Muhammad and his family name would be Abul Qasim, his father's name would be ‘Abdu’llah, and he would appear in Mecca. He would protect the Muslims from destruction and would restore the religion to its original position.[citation needed]he resemble like prophet his father would be abdullah and mother amina
