The Return of Jesus

The Return of Jesus عليه السلام

The Bible describes in a vivid language the corruption, destruction, and death typifying the end of times. We see the godly forces confronting the evil forces of Satan, the Anti-Christ, and Gog and Magog. We learn that the cataclysmic events will take place in the Middle East. But still the picture needs to be completed.

Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  has prophesied about several events that will occur just before the advent of the day of judgment. Among these, Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم   has foretold the return of Jesus عليه السلام, which will occur AFTER the Anti-Christ (known in Islam as Ad-Dajjal, meaning the Deceiver) who claims to be God and will attempt to deceive people into worshipping him. Jesus (the Messiah) عليه السلام will descend from Heaven in Damascus, pray behind Al-Mahdi (a Muslim Leader), pursue and kill the Anti-Christ, and destroy the savage and unbelieving armies of Gog and Magog, and bring peace and brotherhood to the World.

Christians will recognize the truth and accept Jesus عليه السلام as a Muslim Prophet and Messenger of God; the religion of God (Islam) will justly rule the world. There will be no more oppression  or wars, and peace will prevail. Furthermore, there will be no need to collect Jizyah (tax levied on Christians & Jews in Islamic states) since all the remaining Christians and Jews will become Muslims. Every human being will be financially well-off and no one will accept charity. Jesus عليه السلام will perform Hajj (pilgrimage), marry, remain married for 19 years, beget children, and die after living on Earth for 40 years. His death will signal the beginning of the last days for humanity before the Day of Judgment.

Verses from the Holy Quran relating to the Second Advent of Jesus Son of Mary عليه السلام:

And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (i.e. Jesus عليه السلام as an messenger of God) before his death. And on the Day of Judgment, he (Jesus عليه السلام) will be a witness against them. (Quran  4: 159)

And (Jesus عليه السلام) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow me (Allah): this is a Straight Path. (Quran 43: 61)

The following Hadiths (sayings) attributed to Prophet Mohammad  are related to the return of Jesus, Son of Mary عليه السلام:

1. "I swear by Him in Whose hand is my soul (refers to swearing by God) that the son of Mary shall descend among you as a just ruler. Then he will break the Cross, and kill the swine and put an end to war (in a variation of this narration, the word Jizyah (tax on Christians & Jews) is mentioned instead of war); A then there will be such abundance of wealth that nobody will like to accept it, and (conditions will be such that) performing of one sajdah (prostration) before Allah will be considered better than the World and what it contains." (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim).

2. "Jesus Son of Mary عليه السلام shall descend; then he will kill the swine and destroy the Cross; and a congregation will be held for him for the Prayer; and he will distribute so much wealth that people will be satiated with it; and he will abolish the tribute (Jizya) ; and he will camp at Rawda (a place at a distance 35 miles from Madinah), and from there will go to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, or both." (Sahih Muslim).

3. The Prophet said: "(After mentioning emergence of the Dajjal) While the Muslims will be making preparations to fight him, will be lining up (for the Prayer) and the lqamah will have been pronounced, Jesus Son of Mary عليه السلام shall descend and lead them in the Prayer; and Allah's enemy (Anti-Christ) on seeing him shall start dissolving like salt in water. If Jesus عليه السلام were to leave him (Anti-Christ) alone, he (Anti-Christ) would melt to death anyway, but Allah will have him (Anti-Christ) killed by his (Jesus') hand, and he (Jesus) will show the Muslims his (Anti-Christ's) blood on his (Jesus') spear." (Sahih Muslim).

4. "There is no prophet between me and him (Jesus Christ عليه السلام ), and he shall descend. So, recognize him when you see him. He is a man of medium height, of ruddy and fair complexion; he will be dressed in two yellow garments; the hair of his head will appear as though water was going to trickle down from it, but it will not be wet. He will fight people in the cause of Islam, will break the Cross and kill the swine and will abolish Jizyah; and Allah will put an end to all nations in his time except Islam's Nation; and he will slay the Antichrist (Dajjal); and he will stay in the world for 40 years; then will die and the Muslims will perform the funeral Prayer for him." (Abu Dawud and Ahmad bin Hanbal).

5. "... then Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام will descend. The leader of the Muslims will say to him, 'Come, lead us in the Prayer', but he will say, 'No, you yourselves are leaders over one another ."  This, he will say: this is in view of the honour that Allah has bestowed on this Nation (the Muslim nation)." (Sahih Muslim and Ahmad bin Hanbal)

6. The Prophet (while relating the story of the Dajjal) said: "At that time, suddenly Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام shall appear among the Muslims. Then, the people will stand up for the Prayer, and he (Jesus عليه السلام) will be asked, 'Step forward, Oh Spirit of Allah (and lead us in the Prayer); but he  (Jesus عليه السلام) will say, 'No, your own leader should step forward and lead the Prayer.' Then, after offering the Morning Prayer, the Muslims shall go forth to fight the Dajjal.' He said, 'When the liar (Anti-Christ) will see Jesus عليه السلام, he will start dissolving like salt in water. Then, Jesus عليه السلام   will advance towards him and will slay him; and it will so happen that the trees and the stones will cry out: 'Oh Spirit of Allah, here is a Jew hiding behind me.' None will be left from among the followers of the Dajjal, whom he (Jesus عليه السلام ) will not kill." (Ahmad bin Hanbal).

7. "In the meantime, while the Dajjal will be busy doing this and this, Allah will send down the Messiah son of Mary (Jesus عليه السلام). He (Jesus عليه السلام ) will descend in the eastern part of Damascus, near the white minaret (tower), dressed in the two yellow garments, with his hands resting on the arms of two angels. When he will bend down his head, water drops will appear trickling down, and when he will raise it, it will appear as though pearl--like drops are rolling down. Any disbeliever whom the air of his breath reaches, and it will reach up to the last limit of his sight, will fall dead. Then, the son of Mary will go in pursuit of the Dajjal, and will overtake him at the gate of Lud (a city 13 miles east of Tel Aviv, Israel), and will kill him." (Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah).

8. The narrator of this Hadith based on what he heard from Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم , said: "The Daijal (Anti-Christ) will appear in my Ummah (nation), and will live for forty (I do not know whether he said 40 days, or 40 months or 40 years). Then Allah will send Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام. He  (Jesus عليه السلام) will closely resemble 'Urwah Bin Mas'ud (a Companion of Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ). He  (Jesus عليه السلام) will pursue him (Anti-Christ) and kill him. Then, for seven years, the people will live in such a state that there will be no ill-will or enmity between any two individuals of them." (Sahih Muslim).

9. "Then in the morning, Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام will join the Muslims, and Allah will cause the Dajjal and his followers to be routed, until the walls and the roots of the trees will call out: "Oh believer, here is a disbeliever hidden behind me: come and kill him." (Ahmad bin Hanbal and Al-Hakim).

10. "Then Jesus  عليه السلام will descend, and Allah will cause the Dajjal to be killed near the mountain pass of Afiq (in Palestine, few miles from Lake Tiberias, the source of River Jordan) ."  (Ahmad bin Hanbal).

11. "Exactly at the time when the Imam of the Muslims will have stepped forward to lead them in the Morning Prayer, Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام shall descend upon them. The Imam will step back so that Jesus may step forward (to lead the Prayer), but Jesus عليه السلام, placing his hand between his two shoulders, will say, "No, you should lead, for the congregation has assembled to follow you. So, the Imam will lead the Prayer. After the salutation, Jesus will say, "Open the gate;" so the gate will be opened. Outside, there will be the Dajjal, along with 70,000 of the armed Jews. As soon as the Anti-Christ sees Jesus (upon whom be peace), he will start dissolving like salt in water, and will flee. Jesus will say, "I shall strike you a blow which will not allow you survive." And he (Jesus عليه السلام) will overtake him (Anti-Christ) at the eastern gate of Lud (a city 13 miles east of Tel Aviv, Israel), and Allah will cause the Jews to be defeated.... And the Earth will be so filled with the Muslims as a vessel is filled with water. The entire world shall recite and follow one and the same Kalimah (the testimony of Islam: There is no god, but Allah. Mohammad is a Messenger of Allah) and none shall be worshipped except Allah." (Ibn Majah).

12. "The Dajjal (Anti-Christ) will be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan (in Iran) wearing Persian shawls." (Muslim)

13. "How will you be when the Son of Mary (Jesus عليه السلام) descends amongst you and he will judge people by the law of the Quran and not by the law of the Enjil (Gospel)." (Bukhari)

14. "By Him in Whose Hand is my life (meaning I swear By Allah that), Son of Mary (Jesus) will make Talbiya (required declaration) for performing Hajj or for Umrah or for both  in the valley of Rawda." (Sahih Muslim)

15. Narrated by Umm Sharik: I heard Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم  say: "The people would run away from the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) seeking shelter in the mountains. She said: Where would be the Arabs then on that day? He said: They would be small in number."

16. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم  as saying: "The Last Hour will not come until the Muslims fight against the Jews and the Muslims kill them to the extent that the Jews will hide behind a rock or a tree and the rock or the tree will say: O' Muslim, the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the Gharqad tree ( Boxthorn tree) will not say that, for it is the tree of the Jews." (Sahih Muslim)

Picture of Gharqad tree

 

A In other words it means: "All kinds of differences among the communities will disappear and human beings will join one community, the Community of Islam; thus, war will be put to an end to, and Jizyah will cease to be imposed."

B A place at a distance of 35 miles from Madinah.

Return Of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام

Brief History of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام
Due to the fact that the Jews had become deaf and blind to the words of God and deviated from the teachings of Moses and the right path, Allah honoured Jesus عليه السلام with Prophethood and sent him as a messenger to the children of Israel. Bearing all hardships Prophet Jesus عليه السلام spent all day and night conveying the message of Allah. Unfortunately, in spite of his tremendous effort, most of the Children of Israel did not accept his message. Seeing that the poor and weak were becoming inclined towards him and fearing they would lose their leadership, the Jews secretly conspired to kill him. However, Allah saved Prophet Jesus  عليه السلام from their wicked scheme and gave him greater dignity by raising him alive to the heavens.

Allah says in the Quran, "They did not kill him and nor did they crucify him but the resemblance of him (Jesus عليه السلام ) was put over another man and those who differ there in, are in doubt. They have no certain knowledge. They are following nothing but conjecture for surely they did not kill him but Allah raised him up to him." (Surah Nisa)

Allah says in the Quran "When Allah says, Jesus; I will take thee to me and I will purify thee of the unbelievers" (Surah Al-Imran)

These verses clearly prove that the Jews did not kill Prophet Jesus عليه السلام and that he was raised alive to Heaven. It is due to verses like those mentioned above and many authentic Hadiths, we Muslims believe that Prophet Jesus عليه السلام is alive in Heaven at this moment in time. We further believe due to the following verses and authentic Ahadith that Prophet Jesus عليه السلام will return before Qiyamah (Day of Resurrection) and his return is a major sign of Qiyamah:

Allah says in the Quran, "And he (son of Mary) shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour."  (Surah Zukhruf)
Ibn Abbas has said that the meaning of this verse is that Prophet Jesus' عليه السلام descent is a sign of Qiyamah. (Ibn Abbas/ Musnad)

Allah says, "There is not a single sect of the People of the Book that will not certainly believe in Jesus before his death and on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus) will be a witness against them." (Surah Nisa) This verse clearly indicates that before the death of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام all People of the Book will believe in him as a human prophet. This means there will no longer be Christian or Jews. All of the People of the Book will become Muslims.

Jabir reported that the Messenger of Allah said, "A party of my followers will not cease to fight for victory until the Day of Resurrection. He said, then Jesus, son of Mary, will come down. Their Imam will say, "Come and lead our prayer" He will reply, "Some of you are leaders over others on account of divine honour upon these people."    (Muslim)

Abu Huraira  reported that the Messenger of Allah said, "By the one whose hands my life is in, surely the Son of  Mary عليه السلام will descend amongst you as a just ruler. He will destroy the cross (this could mean that Jesus will put an end to Christianity), kill the swine (this could mean that Jesus will outlaw raising pigs/swine and eating pork) and abolish the Jizya (this tax will be abolished because all Christians & Jews will become Muslims)."   (Bukhari)

Huzaifa bin Osaid  reported: The Holy Prophet suddenly came to us while we were talking. He asked, "What are you talking about?" They replied "We were talking about the Last Hour." Prophet (s) said, "It will never come until you see ten signs before it. He then mentioned the Smoke, the Dajjal (Anti-Christ), the Daaba, the Rising of the Sun from the place of its setting, the Descent of Jesus son of Mary (from Heaven), Yajuj and Ma'juj (Gog & MaGog)..."  (Muslim)

 

Prophet Jesus's عليه السلامTasks

Prophet Jesus عليه السلام will have three main tasks, when he descends on the Earth for the second time:
1)  The first and most important will be that he will destroy the Dajjal.
2)  Protect the Muslims from the barbarous tribes of Yajuj and Majuj (Gog & MaGog).by taking them to Mount Tur and then praying to Allah to make Yajuj and Majuj perish.
3)  Reign as a Caliph according to the Quran and Sunnah and elevate Islam.

 

Prophet Jesus's  عليه السلام descent and the killing of Dajjal

The Dajjal having failed to enter the holy city of Madina will proceed to Syria gathering his forces on the way.
Imam Mahdi will have arranged the Muslim army and will be on the verge of leading the Muslims in the dawn (early morning)  prayer (Abu Umamah / Ibn Majah) when Prophet Jesus عليه السلام will descend to the white Minaret (Nawwas bin Samaan/Muslim) in the east of Damascus, wearing two garments died with saffron, placing his hands on the wings of two angels. All those that are present will recognise him, as he will look exactly like the description of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم  . Resembling the Sahabi Urwa bin Masood (Abu- Huraira/ Muslim) the color of his skin will be reddish white (Ibn Abbas/ Bukhari), he will be well-built and his hair will be soft and reach his ears. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it and when he raises his head, beads like pearls will scatter from it.   (Nawwas bin Samaan/Muslim).

However, the following a hadith that seem to indicate that Imam Mahdi will be leading the dawn (early morning) prayer in Jerusalem, not in Damascus, when Jesus descends from Heaven:

Abu Umamah al-Bahili said, " The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم  delivered a speech to us, most of which dealt with the Dajjal (the Anti-Christ) and warned us against him. Umm Sharik bint Abi'l-'Akr said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be at that time?’ He said, ‘At that time they will be few in number; most of them will be in the Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their Imam will be a righteous man. While their Imam is going forward to lead the people in the Salat al-Subh (the morning prayer), 'Isa son of Maryam will descend. The Imam will step back, to let Jesus lead the people in prayer, but Jesus will place his hand between the man's shoulders and say, “Go forward and lead the prayer, for the Iqamah was made for you.” So the Imam will lead the people in prayer… Jesus son of Mary will be a just ruler and leader of my Ummah (Nation). He will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizyah (tax on non-Muslims). He will not collect the Sadaqah, so he will not collect sheep and camels. Mutual enmity and hatred will disappear. Every harmful animal will be made harmless, so that a small boy will be able to put his hand into a snake's mouth without being harmed, a small girl will be able to make a lion run away from her, and a wolf will go among sheep as if he were a sheepdog. The earth will be filled with peace as a container is filled with water. People will be in complete agreement, and only Allah will be worshipped. Wars will cease…’” (Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Fitan, Tradition No. 4077, 2: 1363)

" Every Kaafir who smells his sweet breath will die and his breath will reach as far as he can see. On seeing prophet Jesus عليه السلام . Imam Mahdi will take a couple of steps backwards so Prophet Jesus عليه السلام  can lead the prayer however Prophet Jesus عليه السلام will place his hands on the Imam's shoulder and will say, ''Go forward and lead the prayer as the Iqamah was made for you'' thus Imam Mahdi will lead the prayer."   (Abu Umamah/ Ibn-Majah).

After the prayer Prophet Jesus عليه السلام will say, ''Open the gate''. The gate will be opened and the Dajjal will be waiting behind it accompanied by an army of 70,000 Jews, each armed with a sword and shield. The Dajjal on seeing Prophet Jesus عليه السلام among the Muslims will begin to dissolve like salt in water and will begin to flee. Prophet Jesus عليه السلام will say to him, ''You will remain alive until I strike you with my spear, ''He will catch up with him at the Eastern gate of Lud (in Palestine) and then Prophet Jesus عليه السلام will kill him with a small spear.
 

The Muslims will thereafter defeat and wipe out Dajjal's army. The Jews will not be able to hide behind anything on that day. Every time they try to hide behind a stone, a wall, a tree (except a boxthorn tree), or animal. Allah will make these things speak and they will say, ''O servant of Allah there is a Jew hiding behind me. come kill him.''

 

The Wisdom in the Descent of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام

Sunni Muslim scholars have given many different reasons for the return of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام to this World. A few are listed below:
1) The Jews believe that they had killed Prophet Jesus عليه السلام , Allah will send him before the end of time to prove that they had not killed him and that he is alive. It is he who will kill the Jews and their leader Dajjal.  (Fathul - Bari)
2)  Some Ulama have said that Prophet Jesus عليه السلام  found many virtues of the followers of Prophet Muhammad  صلى الله عليه وسلم  in the bible and thus he prayed to Allah to make him amongst the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم . Allah answered his prayer and he will return for the second time as one of the followers of Prophet Muhammad  صلى الله عليه وسلم .     (Ibn Khathir)
3)  It is the Law of Allah that anything that is created from the Earth has to be buried in the Earth and not the Heavens. Thus he will return to the Earth for the second time, kill the Dajjal, live for a period of time and then he will die a natural death and will be buried with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم .   (Ashratus-Sa'ah).

 
 

Prophet Jesus (as) and the Ya'juj Ma'juj (Gog Magog)

A short period after Prophet Jesus عليه السلام has killed the Dajjal, the two mighty tribes of Yajuj and Ma'juj will appear, causing murder, pillage and devastation wherever they go. The emergence of Ya'juj and Ma'juj is also another major sign of Qiyamah. Through the invocation of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام they will be destroyed.  (Nawwas bin Samaan/ Muslim).

 

Prophet Jesus عليه السلام  as a Ruler

Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet  صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "By him whose hands my life is in, surely the son of Mary will come down amongst you as a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the tax. Wealth will be in such abundance that none will care about it and a single prostration in a Prayer will be better than the world and all that is in it."  ( Bukhari, Muslim)

The above hadith clearly indicates that when Prophet Jesus عليه السلام  returns to the world for the second time he will not reign as a Prophet nor will he bring a new Shariah (Law) or scriptures, as Islam is the final version of God's religion, the Quran is the last book to be revealed and our Prophet Muhammad  صلى الله عليه وسلم  is the last Prophet. There is no new prophet to come after him and the Quran has made this fact very clear.

Allah says in the Qur'an, "Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  is not the father of any of you but is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the Prophets."   (Surah Al-Ahzaab)

When Prophet Jesus  عليه السلام returns for the second time, he will reign as a Caliph and not a Prophet, follow the Qur'an and Sunnah and rule according to it. He will break the cross the Christians worship (indicating that he will bring Christianity to an end), elevate and spread Islam through out the world.
 

He will also kill the pig which the Christians consider Halal to eat (and use) and abolish the Jizya (tax). In Prophet Jesus عليه السلام  reign they will not pay this tax because he will not accept anything but Islam for the non believers and they will all believe in him. The Qur'an says, "There is not a single sect of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) that will not recognize him and on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus) will be a witness against them."   (Surah-An-Nisa)

Muslims under the leadership of Jesus will rule the World. Thawban said that The Prophet  صلى الله عليه وسلم  said, "Allah, the Exalted, unfolded for me the Earth, to the extent that I saw its Eastern and Western sides (i.e. the extremities). The Kingdom of my Ummah (nation) will reach as far as what has been unfolded to me. The two treasures, the red (Persian Kingdom) and the white (Roman Empire), were bestowed on me.... By Him in Whose Hands Muhammad's life is, you will spend the treasures of both of them for the sake of Allah." (Ibn Kathir)

The word of Islam will spread throughout the World, enter every home, and no one will be left who has not heard of it. Al-Miqdad ibn Aswad said I heard the Prophet  صلى الله عليه وسلم  say: "Not a dwelling (house) whether of brick, or fur will remain on the surface of the Earth that Allah will not ensure that the word of Islam enters it, either honoring an honorable person or disgracing an abject person." (Imam Ahmad, At-Tabarani, Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim)
 

Blessings at the time of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام

All types of spiritual and worldly blessings will descend on Earth in his time.

-  There will be an abundance in wealth. Wealth will flow like water. The Islamic government will be wealthy and all people will be financially well-off, having lots of wealth and property, to the extent that nobody will be in the need of Zakat (tax) and Sadaqa (charity). People will no longer have to pay Zakat and Sadaqa.

- All hearts will be free from misery, envy, malice, and jealousy.

- Each harmful animal will be made harmless. Camels will graze with the lions and the cheetahs with cattle. A little girl will chase a lion and make it run away from her like children chasing a puppy and this lion will not harm her. Venom will be taken out from all venomous animals, a little boy will put his hand in a snake's mouth, but it will not harm him. The wolf will live with the sheep and protect them as if it were a sheep dog.

- Peace, harmony and tranquillity will prevail in the world. People will be in complete agreement, wars will cease, the earth will be filled with peace like a silver basin and it will sprout with vegetation like at the time of Prophet Adam عليه السلام .

- The fertility of the land will increase to the extent that if a seed is planted in a rock, it will sprout. 700 mudd of wheat will sprout without ploughing the land. The Earth will produce so much fruit that a large group of people will sit to eat a bunch of grapes or a pomegranate and they will be satisfied and use it's peel as an umbrella.

- There will also be blessing in milk. The milk of a single she camel will be sufficient to satisfy the hunger of a large group of people. A cow will produce what is sufficient for a tribe of people, and a sheep will produce milk, which is sufficient for a family of people.

- Horses will be cheap as they will be never ridden in war and bulls will be expensive, as they will be needed to plough the land.

- Life will be very pleasant and enjoyable after Jesus' descent from Heaven and people will live in comfortably during Jesus' reign as a Muslim Caliph.   (Nawwas bin Sarnaan /Muslim and Abu Umamah/Ibn Majah)

Marriage

Many Hadiths specify that after Jesus returns to Earth, he will get married,  have children, and will live for a period of 19 years after his marriage.  (Al-Fitan Nuaim bin Hammad).

Death

Prophet Jesus عليه السلام  after his return to the Earth for a second time will live for a period of time (possibly 40 years according to a Hadith in Abu Dawud) and thereafter will die due to natural causes. The Muslims will perform his Janaza (funeral prayers). According to the hadith narrated by Abdullah bin Amr in Mishkat, he will be buried next to Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Shia's Imam Mahdi

The Shia are waiting for their Twelfth Imam, sometimes referred to as Imam Mahdi or Qaem, to appear. The evidence suggests that the person that the Shia will take as their Twelfth Imam will be none other than Dajjal (the Anti-Christ). The Ahlus Sunnah (Sunni Muslims) should thus always keep in mind that the Shia are the future followers of Dajjal (Anti-Christ).

Jewish Law



The “Qaem” (Imam Mahdi) of the Shia will rule according to the Laws of David and the family of David, according to the Shia Hadith in Al-Kafi, the most reliable of the four books of Shia Hadith. All of the following Shia Hadith come from the same section in Al-Kafi reported by Al-Kulyani, located in Al-Kafi (Volume No.1, p.387-398):

Narrated Ali ibn Ibrahim -from his father-from ibn Abi Umair-from Mansour-from Fadhl al Aour-from Abi Ubaidah who reported: “When the Qaem of the household of the Prophet appears, he will rule according to rule of David and Solomon.”

Muhammad ibn Yahya-Ahmad ibn Muhammad-Muhammad ibn Sinaan-Abaan who reported: “I heard Abu Abdullah[as] saying: "The world will not fade away unless a person from us appears who will rule according to the rule of the family of David.”

Ahmad–Ahmad ibn Muhammad–Ibn Mahboob–Hisham ibn Salim–Ammar as Saabati who reported: “I asked Abu Abdullah [as] : "On what will you rule if you are made the rulers." He replied: "By the rule of God and the rule of David. And if we are confronted by a situation which we cannot solve, Gabriel (Ruh al Quds) will reveal it to us.”

Muhammad ibn Ahmad– Muhammad ibn Khalid– Nazr ibn Suwaid– Yahya al Halabi– Imran ibn Oueiyn– Jaeed al Hamdani– Ali ibn al-Hussein [as] said: “I asked him by which law will you rule?” He said: “By the rule of David, and if there is something which we are unaware of, Gabriel (Ruh al Quds) will reveal it to us.”

Ahmad ibn Mahran[ra]–Muhammad ibn Ali–Ibn Mahboob–Hishaam bin Salim–Ammar as Saabati reported: “I asked Imam Abu Abdullah [as]: ‘By what will you rule?’ He replied: ‘By the rule of God, and by the rule of David.”

Hebrew

Furthermore, the 12th Imam will speak in Hebrew:

Reported to us Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Saeed al Uqdah who said: Narrated to us Ali ibn al-Hasan at-Taymali who said: narrated to us al-Hasan and Muhammad the sons of Ali ibnu Yusuf, from Sa’daan ibnu Muslim, from rajaal, from al-Mufadhaal ibn Umar who said: Abu Abdullah [as] reported: “When the Imam Mahdi calls out, he will supplicate to God in Hebrew.” [Al-Ghaybaa of an Numani, p.326]

Jewish Followers

According to the Shia, the Jews will also be the followers of Imam Mahdi:

Sheikh al-Mufeed has reported in his Al-Irshaad from al=Mufadhaal ibnu Umar that Imam Abu Abdullah [as] has reported: “There will appear along with Imam Mahdi…people from the tribe of Moses.” [Al-Irshaad of Al-Mufeed Al-Tusi p.402]

According to Shia Hadith in Al-Kafi, the Hidden Imam Mahdi learns from a book called Al-Jafr, which contains the knowledge from the Israelites:

The Imams (a.s.) remained silent for a while and then said, “With us there is al-Jafr (the parchment). What do they know what al-Jafr is?” I then asked, “What is al-Jafr (the parchment or a container) ?” The Imams (a.s.) said, “It is a container made of skin that contains the knowledge of the prophets and the executors of their wills and the knowledge of the scholars in the past from the Israelites.” [al-Kafi, Hadith 635, Ch. 40, Vol. 1]

Conclusions

All of these narrations from Shia's books lead us to believe that the Shia’s 12th Imam is actually the Jewish Dajjal (Anti-Christ) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) warned us about, who would mislead many and create destruction on earth. This is man who the Shia are waiting for. According to the evidence, this is what we know about their “Qaem/ Mahdi”:

1. He will rule according to the laws of the family line of prophet David, using the Talmud.

2. His language will be Hebrew.

3. His followers will be of the Jews and Israelites, for he is the king of the Jews.

4. The Hidden Imam learns from the Talmud which is contained in the “Jafr.”

Hadith of the Ahlus Sunnah

Let us now examine the true Hadith from the Ahlus Sunnah in regards to the Jewish Dajjal that is prophesied to appear:

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) told us in Hadith that " Allah will grant the Muslims victory over Dajjal and the Muslims will kill him and his Shia; when the Shia of Dajjal hide behind a tree or a stone, then the tree and the stone will say to the Muslim that there is a Jew behind me come and kill him." (Musnad Imam Ahmad #5099)

Is it simply a coincidence that this Hadith uses the Arabic word “shia” to describe the followers of Dajjal?
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) said:
“To every Ummah (nation) there is a Magian (Zoroastrian) and the Magian of this Ummah (Muslim nation) are those who reject the Qadr (pre-destination). If anyone amongst them dies, do not attend their funeral, and if anyone amongst them becomes sick, don’t visit them and they are Shia of the Dajjal and it is the right of God to join them with the Dajjal.” (Sunan Abu Dawud #4072)
The Shia reject the concept of Qada (pre-destination) and instead have adopted the Mutazalite school of thought which rejects Qadr (pre-destination). The descendants of the Magians are none other than the Persians who mix Magianism (Zoroastrian religion) with Islam?
And perhaps most conclusive of all is the prophecy of Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم in which he said:
“The Dajjal (Anti-Christ) will be followed by 70,000 Jews of Isfahan, having on themselves Persian shawls.” [Sahih Muslim #5227]
Why would the Jews be wrapped with Persian shawls? Today, 90% of Persian (Iranians) are Shia. Shouldn’t the Ahlus Sunnah (Sunnis) be prepared to deal with this potential secret alliance between the Jews and the Persian Shia?
The Shia ask Allah to hasten the coming of their Hidden Imam Mahdi who is locked up and hidden somewhere. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) has promised that the Jewish Dajjal will also be locked away somewhere and hidden from the world, as reported in the narration of Tamim ad-Darri in Sahih Bukhari.
Indeed, the founder of Shi’ism was the Jewish Abdullah ibn Saba and the so-called “savior” of the Shia will be the Jewish Dajjal (Anti-Christ). Of course, we don’t know this for certain and it is only a theory, but the evidence suggests that it is a highly likely scenario.


Shia's 12th Imam is in fact the Dajjal (Anti-Christ)

Minor Signs of the End Times

Minor Signs are expected to occur in the End Times. Generally speaking, the Minor Signs either: (a) precede the beginning of the Major Signs, or (b) occur after the beginning of the Major Signs, but they are not significant enough to warrant classifying them as Major Signs.


No single Hadith lists all the minor signs, but there are hundreds of minor signs mentioned in hundreds of Hadiths. These Hadiths do not usually mention that they are Minor Signs. On the other hand, there are Hadiths that all of the Major Signs. So, we can classify as Minor Signs, those signs not listed among the Major signs.


Today, almost all of the Minor Signs have been fulfilled.

Abu Hurairah said, The Prophet said, There are two types among the people of Hell whom I have not yet seen. The first are people who have whips like the tails of oxen, with which they beat people, and the second are women who are naked in spite of being dressed; they will be led astray and will lead others astray, and their heads will look like camels humps. These women will not enter Paradise; they will not even experience the faintest scent of it, even though the fragrance of Paradise can be perceived from such a great distance.

Anas ibn Malik said, The Prophet was asked, O Messenger of Allah, (what will happen) when we stop enjoining good and forbidding evil? He said, When what happened to the Israelites happens among you: when fornication becomes widespread among your leaders, knowledge is in the hands of the lowest of you, and power passes into the hands of the least of you. (Ibn Majah.)

Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "The Prophet said: 'If my Ummah (nation) bears fifteen traits, tribulation will befall it.' Someone asked, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'When any gain is shared out only among the rich, with no benefit to the poor; when a trust becomes a means of making a profit; when paying Zakat (required Charitable tax paid by Muslims) becomes a burden; when a man obeys his wife and disobeys his mother; and treats his friend kindly whereas he shuns his father; when voices are raised in the mosques; when the leader of a people is the worst among them; when people treat a man with respect because they fear some evil he may do; when much wine is drunk; when men wear silk; when female singers and musical instruments become popular; when the last ones of this Ummah curse the first ones - then let them expect a red wind, or the earth to swallow them, or to be transformed into animals.'" (Tirmizi)

Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "The Prophet led us in praying Salat al-Fajr (the morning prayer). After he finished, a man called to him: 'When will the Hour be? The Prophet reprimanded him and said 'Be quiet!'. After a while he raised his eyes to the sky and said, 'Glorified be the One Who raised it and is taking care of it.' Then he lowered his gaze to the earth and said, 'Glory be to the One Who has outspread it and has created it (meaning Glory to Allah).' Then the Prophet said, 'Where is the one who asked me about the Hour?' The man knelt down and said, 'I asked you.' The Prophet said, 'The Hour will come when leaders are oppressors, when people believe in the stars and reject Al-Qadar (the Divine Decree of destiny) when a trust becomes a way of making a profit, when people give to Sadaqah (charity or alms) reluctantly, when adultery becomes widespread - when this happens, then your people will perish.'"

Imran ibn Husayn said, "The Prophet said, 'Some people of this Ummah will be swallowed up by the earth, some will be transformed into animals, and some will be bombarded with stones.' One of the Muslims asked, 'When will that be, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'When singers and musical instruments will become popular, and much wine will be drunk.'" (Tirmizi)

Abu Hurairah said, I heard the Prophet saying to Thawban, O Thawban, what will you do when the nations invite one another to invade you as people invite one another to eat a dish? Thawban said, May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! Is it because we will be few in number? The Prophet said, No, on that day, you (Muslims) will be a lot, but Allah will put Wahan (weakness) in your hearts. The people asked, O Messenger of Allah, What is Wahan (weakness)? He said, 'It is love of this World and dislike of death' (meaning you do not fight because you fear death). (Ahmad, Abu Dawud)

Abu Hurairah said, The Prophet said, Woe to the Arabs from the great evil which is nearly approaching them: it will be like patches of dark night. A man will wake up as a believer, and be a kafir (unbeliever) by nightfall. People will sell their religion for a small amount of worldly goods. The one who clings to his religion on that day will be as one who is grasping an ember - or thorns. (Ahmad.)

Abu Hurairah said, "The Prophet said, The Hour will not come until the following events have come to pass: two large groups will fight the another, and there will be many casualties; they will both be following the same religious teaching. Nearly thirty Dajjals will appear, each of them falsely claiming to be a Messenger from Allah. Knowledge will disappear, earthquakes will increase, time will pass quickly, Fitnas (strifes, trials, and Tribulations) will appear, and Harj (killing) will increase. Wealth will increase, so that a wealthy man will worry lest no-one accept his Zakat, and when he offers it to anyone, that person will say, I am not in need of it. People will compete in constructing high buildings. When a man passes by someone’s grave, he will say, Would that I were in his place! The sun will rise from the west; when it rises and the people see it, they will believe, but, 'No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it will not have already believed or earned righteousness through its faith ...' (Quran, Al-Anam 6:158) The Hour will come suddenly: when a man has milked his she-camel and taken away the milk, but he will not have time to drink it; before a man repairing a tank for his livestock will be able to put water in it for his animals; and before a man who has raised a morsel of food to his mouth will be able to eat it." (Bukhari)

Abu Hurairah said, The Prophet said, Time will pass rapidly, knowledge will decrease, miserliness will become widespread in peoples hearts, afflictions will appear, and there will be much Harj. The people asked, O Messenger of Allah, what is Harj? He said, Killing, killing! (Bukhari)

Abu Hurairah said, The Prophet said, The Hour will not come before the Euphrates (river which passes through Turkey, Syria, and Iraq) uncovers a mountain of gold (this does not have to be gold, but it must be something very valuable), for which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of every hundred will die, but every one among them will say that perhaps he will be the one who will survive (and thus possess the gold). (Muslim) Abu Hurairah also said, The Prophet said, the Euphrates will disclose a golden treasure. Whoever is present at that time should not take anything of it.

Huzaifah said, The Prophet told us two Hadith, one of which I have seen fulfilled, and I am waiting for the fulfilment of the other. The Prophet told us that honesty came down into men's hearts (from Allah); then they learned it from the Quran, and then from the Sunnah. The Prophet told us that honesty will be taken away. He said, Man will be overtaken by sleep, during which honesty will be taken away from his heart, and only traces of it will remain.... Then man will be overtaken by slumber again, during which honesty will decrease even further, until its traces will resemble a blister such as is caused when an ember is dropped onto ones foot: it swells, but there is nothing inside. People will be carrying on with their trade, but there will hardly be any trustworthy persons. People will say: 'there is an honest man in such-and-such a tribe'. Later they will say about some man: 'What a wise, polite and strong man he is!' - although he will not have faith even the size of a mustard-seed in his heart... (Bukhari.)

Hadith - Bukhari 9.237, Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah's Messenger said, "The Hour will not occur

(1) until two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine,

(2) until about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah's Messenger,

(3) until the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of religious scholars)

(4) until earthquakes increase in number

(5) until time passes quickly,

(6) until afflictions appear,

(7) until Al-Harj (i.e., killing) will increase,

(8) until wealth will be in abundance--so abundant that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat (charity), and whenever he will present it to someone, that person (to whom it will be offered) will say, 'I am not in need of it,'

(9) until the people compete with one another in constructing high buildings,

(10) until a man when passing by a grave of someone will say, 'Would that I were in his place,'

(11) and until the sun rises from the West.

So, when the sun rises and the people see it (rising from the West), they will all believe (embrace Islam), but that will be the time when: (As Allah in the Quran said,) "The day when some signs of your Lord will come, no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by performing deeds of righteousness) through his faith." (Surah Al-An'aam 6.158)

The Hour will occur while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able to eat it."

Rising of the Sun from the West

According to NASA, the speed of planet Mars has been decreasing in its course toward the eastern direction in the past few weeks to the level we notice the "waver" between the east and the west. On Wednesday the 30th of July, 2009, the planet movement stopped going toward the eastern direction.. Then in the months of August and September...Mars changed its course in the opposite direction to the West- and that until the end of September.. the sun will rise now from the west on Mars!! And this weird phenomena of the opposite movement called "Retrograde Motion". Most scientist state that all the planets will go through the same once at least and our planet Earth is one of them. Planet Earth will move in the opposite direction some day and the sun will rise from the west!!



Islam is the only religion that prophesies that the sun will rise from the West, instead of from rising from the East, in the last phase of the End Times, before Day of Judgement. Both the Quran and the Hadith affirm that this phenomenon will take place. The occurrence of this phenomenon is considered in Islam as one of the major signs that indicate the Day of Judgement is very close.

Allah says in the Qur'an, "The day when some signs of your Lord will come, no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by performing deeds of righteousness) through his faith." (Surah Al-An'aam)

The verse is referring to the rising of the sun from the West, as is the opinion of the majority of the commentators such as Tabari and Ibn Kathir.

Imam Tabari, after mentioning the different opinions of the commentators writes, "The most correct opinion in regards to the meaning of this verse is that what is apparent from the reports narrated from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that he said, "Becoming a Believer will be of no benefit after the sun rises from the West." (Tabari)

Abu Huraira reported that the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Hasten to do good deeds before six (things happen): Rising of the sun from the West..." (Mishkat)

Abdullah-bin-Umar said, "I memorized a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم which I have not forgotten. I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم say, 'The first of the Signs that will come is the rising of the sun from the place of its setting and the emergence of the Daabba to people in Duha (later portion of the morning). Whichever of these two occurs before the other, then the other is right behind it." (Muslim)

Door of Tawba (Repentance) will be Closed

Once the sun has risen from the West, the door of repentance for sins committed by Muslims will be closed by Allah and will remain closed until the Day of Judgement. The following Hadiths clearly specify that the deadline for repentance to be accepted by God ends when the sun rises from the West. Once the sun rises from the West, repentance will no longer be accepted.

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Verily Allah extends his hand at night so that the sinners of the day may repent and verily extends his hand during the day so that the sinners of the night may repent, (He will keep on doing this) as long as the sun does not rise from the West." (Abu-Musa Al-Ashari/ Muslim)

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allah has built a door of repentance where the sun sets, its breadth requires 70 years journey for foot passenger or 40-70 years for a rider. It will not be closed as long as the Sun does not rise from the West." (Safwan bin Assal / Tirmizi)

Ibn Hajar has mentioned many Hadiths which prove that the door of repentance will remain closed till the Day of Judgement and thereafter writes, ''These narrations give strength to one another, agreeing completely in that once the sun rises from the West, the door of repentance will be closed and will not be opened thereafter.'' (Fathul- Bari)

Becoming a Believer after the Sun rises from the West will not be accepted by Allah

Abdullah bin Abu-Owfa reported that I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم say, "Verily a night equivalent to three of your nights will come upon people. When it comes, those who engage themselves in worship during the night will recognize it. A person will stand in prayer, read a section of the Quran and then go to sleep. Thereafter, he will wake up (for the second time) stand in prayer and read a section of the Quran, then go to sleep. While this condition remains, the people will begin to shout, scream and call one another. They will say, "What's this?" With fear, they will run to the mosque. To their surprise, they will see that the sun has risen from the West. When it reaches the middle of the sky, it will return and set in the West." He said صلى الله عليه وسلم , "That is when becoming a believer (in Islam after witnessing this Sign from Allah) will no longer be of benefit (because after the sun rises from the West, Allah will no longer accept declarations of faith )." (An-Nihaya)

Narrated by Abu Huraira, "Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'The Hour will not come until the sun rises from the West. When the people witness this, everyone who will be living on the face of the Earth will develop faith (becomes a Muslim and a Believer in Allah), but that is when believing will no longer be of benefit..." (Bukhari)

When will this Sign occur ?

There are two views regarding The Sun rising from the West

1. It may occur before the emergence of the Dajjal and even before rise of the Mahdi.

2. It may occur after the descent of Jesus and before the last three Major Signs (Pleasant Wind, Destruction of Ka'ba, and the Fire).

What is clear based on several Hadiths is that the Daabba will come immediately after or immediately before The Sun rising from the West.

A Muslim Scholar says that the Sun will rise from the West because the Earth is slowing down in revolving around itself



Egyptian scientist Dr. Zaghloul Naggar explains the Earth is slowing down and will reverse its rotation pattern and thus the Sun will appear as if it rising from the West

Signs & Events in the End Times according to the Shia

( You can download the full book of Jaber Bolushi -263 pages- in Arabic, by clicking here )


Jaber Bolushi, a Shiite (Shia) researcher, has published in a book titled Emergence of the Mahdi in 2015, written in Arabic, in which he mentions prophecies from Shia's Imams as well as Hadith. To support his arguments and validate the prophecies from Shia's Imams, he uses various numerical methods for analyzing verses of the Quran.

He uses similar methods to those:

(a) used by Bassam Jarrar, in his book Fall of Israel in 2022
(b) described in: Numerical Miracles of the Quran
(c) used in: Secrets of Sura Nuh (Noah)

Disclaimer: Please note that Jaber Bolushi's book is written from a Shia perspective. It is an interesting book, worth reading. We, in DiscoveringIslam.org, a Sunni Islamic web site, do not necessarily agree with all the conclusions made by Jaber Bolushi, but we are presenting this for the sake of knowledge and to urge the Sunni Muslim scholars to examine whether the way Jaber Bolushi applied his methodologies is valid.

The following are a summary of his main conclusions regarding the signs and events in the End Times:

1. Comet Lulin (official designation C/2007 N3 (Lulin)) has appeared on February 24, 2009. It is distinguished by the fact that its color is green, when is the color of Islam. The last time it appeared was when Prophet Mohammad (s.a.a.w.s.) was born. What is also notable is that February 24 is that date on which Prophet Mohammad died. This seems to be an indication that this comet is ushering in the Mahdi and Jesus.

2. The Construction of Two Bridges: The Shia believe the first bridge is the bridge that connects Saudi Arabia to Bahrain which was completed in 1986. The second bridge they expect it to be the proposed bridge that will connect Saudi Arabia to Egypt. So far, Egypt has rejected the construction of such a bridge under pressure from Israel and the U.S. On the other hand, construction of a bridge connecting Qatar to Bahrain is expected to start this year, in 2010 and to be completed within 4-5 years.

3. Asteroid known as QQ47 2003 in 2014: Astronomers discovered this in 2003 and they expect it may hit or come very close to Earth on March 21, 2014 (this is Nairuz or Navroz Day which is celebrated by Zoroastrians and also is still celebrated out of tradition in some countries like Iran). It will cause significant changes to climate.

4. Extra-ordinary things will happen in 2014: This includes a period of extra-ordinarily heavy rain to an extent that has never happened before (which may be preceded by drought) and powerful cyclones (affecting the Arabian Peninsula). Shia's attribute sayings to their Imams that specify this will last for 50 days from 20th of the First Jumada to the 10th of Rajab (meaning 5th to the 7th month in the Hijri Calendar) in 2014. Jaber Bolushi believes this will be due to the passing of the above mentioned asteroid.

Abu Huraira narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: " It is not Sana (drought) when it does not rain on you, but rather it is Sana (drought) when it rains on you and it rains (over and over again), but the earth (land) does not produce any crops."

5. Resurrection and Return to life of Some Dead People: Shia (most Sunnis don't) scholars believe in this concept and they support their argument by quoting several verses from the Quran. According to Shia narrations, the heavy rain mentioned above will help in re-constructing the flesh of the dead people who will return to life. Jaber Bolushi expects two instances of return to life by dead people. The first will be in 2013 consisting of return of some unbelievers (possibly to be punished). The second instance will be in 2014 consisting of faithful believers whose mission will be to support the Mahdi.

6. Epidemics, Economic Crisis, Famines, and Natural Disasters that affect humans and agriculture in 2014. Lots of people will die. An epidemic will affect crops, causing severe shortage of food and a significant rise in the prices of agricultural products. The Shia expect these crisis will end once the Mahdi emerges in 2015.

7. A Column of Fire appearing from the East: Some interpreters indicate that this is the Asteroid mentioned above. Shia narrations say once you see this, store food sufficient for one year because there will be food shortage and high food prices.

8. A major War ( possibly nuclear) between the East and West (most likely between China and the U.S.) in 2014.

9. Western military occupation or interference in Sudan, followed by Western occupation or interference in Egypt in 2014 or 2015, just before the emergence of the Sufyani in Syria.

10. The Emergence of the Yemeni in 2015: The Shia believe he is going to be a Shia leader from Yemen.

11. The Emergence of the Sufyani in Syria in April 2015: He is a tyrant ruler who will attack Iraq and cause destruction and blood shed there. Then, he will send an army to fight the Mahdi, but God will cause a landslide to occur and swallow the Sufyani's army.

12. The Sufyani will pillage the Medina, including Prophet Mohammad's Mosque in 2015.

13. The Emergence of the Khorasani (a man from Khorasan) leading an army with black banners coming from the East in 2015: Khorasan is a region that includes Afghanistan, Taijikstan, Northwestern Pakistan, Northeastern Iran, etc.). The army will support the Mahdi.

14. A Voice from Heaven on 22nd of Ramadan in 1436 H (2015 AD): This voice will be heard by all people during Ramadan and even awaken those who are sleeping, and will identify the Mahdi and ask people to follow him.

15. Innocent "soul" from the descendants of Prophet Mohammad (s.a.a.w.s.) named Mohammad bin Al-Hasan will be killed in the Haram Masjid in Mecca between Rukn and Maqam 15 nights before the emergence of the Mahdi. Therefore, Jaber Bolushi predicts that this incident will happen in 25th of Zul Qi'da (which is the 11th month of Hijri calendar) in 1436 H (2015 AD).

16. Death of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (we wish him long life) in 2015: The Shia believe that King Abdullah will be the last king of the House of Saud before the appearance of the Mahdi. Jaber Bolushi cites a Hadith attributed to Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم (the Shia claim this Hadith used to be reported in Musnad Ahmad, but was later removed) in which the Prophet mentions that the last man who will govern Al-Hijaz (the region that includes Mecca & Medina) before the Mahdi will be called Abdullah and he will be the successor of his brother who is named by the name of an animal. The previous king of Saudi Arabia was King Fahd (Fahd means leopard). It is worth noting that King Abdullah is currently 84 years old. After he dies, a dispute will occur among the royal family as to who should succeed him. There will be a strife and blood shed. Then, people will search for the Mahdi and offer him allegiance between Rukun and Maqam in the Haram Masjid in Mecca.

17. The Emergence of the Mahdi on the 10th of Muharam 1437 H (Oct. 23, 2015 AD): He will defeat the Sufyani.

18. Two small Asteroids will affect the U.S. The first will be in October 2015, hitting Mississippi State. The second one will be on February 2016 and will cause tsunami affecting the West coast of the U.S.

19. The descent of Jesus from Heaven: Jaber Bolushi predicts using numerical analysis this will happen in 2018.

20. People of the Cave will re-emerge: They will act as witnesses to support both Jesus and the Mahdi. Click here for more info about People of the Cave.

21. Destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israelis: Jaber Bolushi predicts this will happen in February 2019, meaning after Jesus descends from Heaven.

22. The Emergence of the Anti-Christ: Jaber Bolushi predicts this will happen in 2019.

23. A major Asteroid known as 2002 NT7: Jaber Bolushi expects that it will hit the U.S. in Feb 1, 2019 and cause great devastation.

24. Jesus will perform one miracle prophesied in the Quran to prove he is the Messiah in 2022.

25. American & European Forces (one million soldiers) will make their presence along the coast stretching between Antioach, Turkey to Areesh, Egypt to protect Israel. They will remain from 2016 (or 2017) until 2022.

26. An influx of Jews to Israel in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

27. The Malhama (Big Battle or Armageddon): Jaber Bolushi predicts this will happen in 2022 AD (1444 H) and feels that it will be similar (but at a larger scale) to Battle of Varna in 1444 AD in which the Ottoman Empire defeated the armies of several European nations. He points out that the distance between Varna and Palestine/Israel is 1444 Kilometers (which is equal to the year in which this battle will happen). The big battle will occur in a plain near Akka, in northern Israel.

28. The Mahdi will conquer Israel on 10th of Muharam, 1444 H ( August 7, 2022 AD).

29. Imam Mahdi will crucify the Anti-Christ in Kufa, Iraq according to Shia narrations: Please note that Sunni Muslims believe Jesus (not the Mahdi) will kill the Anti-Christ in Lud, Israel (not in Kufa, Iraq).

30. Another Asteroid known as MN4 2004: It is expected to hit the West Coast of the U.S. on Friday, April 13, 2029 and it could be even more disastrous than the previous ones.

31. The Mahdi will cut off the head of Satan while the Mahdi is in a mosque in Kufa, Iraq, according to Shia narrations. There are no narrations in Hadith books of the Sunnis that support this claim.

Jaber Balushi believes that Gog and MaGog are the Jews of Israel. He points out that the numerical value their name in Arabic (يَأْجُوج وَمَأْجُوج‎ ) is 76 which is the expected duration of the state of Israel, if it ends in 2022.

According to narration from Shia's Imams, two thirds of World's population will die during the End Times.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jaber Bolushi's Conclusions Regarding the End of Israel

Jaber Bolushi agrees with most of the conclusions of Bassam Jarrar regarding the end of Israel in 2022, but Mr. Bolushi makes additional observations as a result of his own numerical analysis of the Quran, particularly, Sura Israa (Chapter 17) and Sura Maida (Chapter 5). The following is a summary of his findings:

1. In Chapter 17 (Sura Israa) of the Quran, verse 6 says: ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَمْدَدْنَاكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ أَكْثَرَ نَفِيرًا [Then we turned to you the power to attack them and supplied you with money (wealth) and sons (or children) and we made you more in manpower (number of individuals/soldiers)] This indicates that the Jews will regain power over whoever destroyed their first independent kingdoms. The first Jewish Kingdoms were attacked first by Egyptians at the time of Pharaohs, but did not destroy the Jewish Kingdoms. The Iraqi Assyrians destroyed the Jewish Northern Kingdom and later the Iraqi Babylonians destroyed the Southern Kingdom. That is why God allowed Israel to win the battles in 1967 and 1973 against Egypt, but to not invade or conquer Egypt. Then, God allowed Israel, through the U.S., to take revenge against Iraq twice, in 1991 and in 2003.

2. The numerical value of ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِم [Then we turned to you the power to attack them] in verse 6 is 67 ( which signifies 1967 war against Egypt). The numerical value of all of verse 6 is 1300 and if we add to it the number of verses of Sura Israa which is 111: 1300 + 111 = 1411 which signifies the year in Hijri Calendar which the Gulf War happened, meaning1411 H (1990 AD). The Gulf War started in 11/1/ 1411 H ( 2/ 8/ 1990 AD) . Notice that numbers coincide with each other so closely:

1300 + 111 = 1411 is identical to 11/1/ 1411 H

Furthermore, if we add the number of words from verse 5: فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ أُولاَهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادًا لَّنَا أُوْلِي بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ فَجَاسُواْ خِلاَلَ الدِّيَارِ وَكَانَ وَعْدًا مَّفْعُولاًO [When the promise of the first of the two (warnings) came, we sent against you servants of ours of great might. They ravaged your homes/country)…].
to the end of verse 104:

وَقُلْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اسْكُنُواْ الأَرْضَ فَإِذَا جَاء وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيفًا

[And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land (of promise)", but when the Promise of the End comes to pass, We gather you together in a mixed crowd]

we find that this number of words is also 1411.

3. The order of the word الْكَرَّة (which means attack) in verse 6 from the beginning of verse 2 until the word الْكَرَّة in verse 6 is 55. The number of years between the establishment of the current state of Israel in 1948 and the invasion of Iraq by the U.S. (due to the pressure and influence of the Zionists) started in 2003: 2003 - 1948 = 55 years.

4.. The number of words from وَعْدُ الآخِرَة (Promise of the End) in verse 7 to وَعْدُ الآخِرَة (Promise of the End) in verse 104 is 1371 which is also equal to the number of years from Prophet Mohammad's death in 632 AD until the invasion of Iraq 2003 AD: 2003 - 632 = 1371 years.

5. The number of words from the beginning of verse 4: وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْكِتَابِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِي الأَرْضِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا [And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Book that they would commit corruption (mischief) on Earth twice and reach high levels of haughtiness. ]

until the end of verse 104: وَقُلْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اسْكُنُواْ الأَرْضَ فَإِذَا جَاء وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيفًا [And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land (of promise)", but when the Promise of the End comes to pass, We gather you together in a mixed crowd]

is 1424 words (the invasion and occupation of Iraq by the U.S. due to the pressure and influence of the Zionists started in 2003 AD which is equal to 1424 H, in Hijri Calendar)

6. Verse 5, فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ أُولاَهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادًا لَّنَا أُوْلِي بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ فَجَاسُواْ خِلاَلَ الدِّيَارِ وَكَانَ وَعْدًا مَّفْعُولاًO [When the promise of the first of the two (warnings) came, we sent against you servants of ours of great might. They ravaged your homes/country)…].

We find:

(a) the word وَعْد (Promise)

(b)the word أُولاَهُمَا (the first)

In verse 7:

إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوؤُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُواْ مَا عَلَوْاْ تَتْبِيرًاO

[If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil, it is for yours (your selves). So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass, We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power].

we find:
(a) the word وَعْد (Promise)

(b) the word الآخِرَةِ (the End)

The number 19 plays a very important role in the structure of the Quran and 19 is the number of letters of:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم (In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful) which starts most of the Suras in the Quran and corresponds to the Trinitarian oath of the Christians (In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

The number of years from the establishment of Israel in 1948 until 1967 war is: 1967 - 1948= 19 years.

The number of years from the invasion of Iraq in 2003 until the expected end of Israel in 2022 is: 2022 - 2003 = 19 years.

7. On the other hand, the number of years from the 1967 war against Egypt to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 is: 2003 - 1967 = 36 years. The number of words from the word أُولاَهُمَا (the first) in verse 5 to the word الآخِرَةِ (the End/last) in verse 7 is 36 words. This makes a lot of sense and reflects the miraculous nature of the Quran because 1967 represents the first Promise of God to Israel and 2003 invasion of Iraq represents the God's Second/Last Promise to Israel.

8. The number of words from وَعْدُ أُولاَهُمَا (Promise of the first) in verse 5 to the word الْكَرَّة (which means attack) in verse 6 is 19 words (which reflects the 19 year period from the establishment of Israel 1948 to Israel's war with Egypt in 1967) .

The number of words from the word الْكَرَّة (which means attack) in verse 6 to وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ (Promise of the End) in verse 7 is also 19 words ( which reflects the 19 year period from the invasion of Iraq in 2003 to the expected end of Israel in 2022).

9. The period from the death of King ( & Prophet) Solomon in 935 BC to the destruction of the Jewish Northern Kingdom in 722 BC: 935 - 722 = 213 years.

The period from the destruction of the Jewish Northern Kingdom in 722 BC to the Gulf War in 1990 AD is: 722 + 1990 = 2712 years

We discover that 2712 divided by 213 = 12 years (which is equal to 12 year period from the Gulf War in 1990 to the invasion of Iraq in 2003)

The period from the destruction of the Jewish Northern Kingdom in 722 BC to the destruction of the Jewish Southern Kingdom in 586 BC: 722 - 586 = 136 years.

The period from the destruction of the Jewish Southern Kingdom in 586 BC to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 AD is: 586 + 2003 = 2589 years.

The period from the invasion of Iraq in 2003 AD to the expected end of Israel in 2022 AD is: 2022 - 2003 = 19 years.

We discover that 2589 divided by 136 = 19 years

10. The numerical value of verse 104 (which is the last verse in which Children of Israel are mentioned in this Sura - Chapter 17) is 2022 ( which is the expected year of the end of Israel):

وَقُلْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اسْكُنُواْ الأَرْضَ فَإِذَا جَاء وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيفًا

[And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land (of promise)", but when the Promise of the End comes to pass, We gather you together in a mixed crowd]

11. The order of the word لِيَدْخُلُواْ (to enter) in verse 7 from the beginning of verse 2 (the first time Children of Israel is mentioned in this Sura - Chapter 17) is 76 (which reflects the 76 year period Israel will last, meaning from 1948 to 2022). If we multiply 76 by 19: 76 x 19 = 1444 ( 1444 H is the year in Hijri calendar which is equivalent to the expected year of the end of Israel in 2022 AD).

12. In Sura Maida (Chapter 5), The number of words from verse 1 to يَتِيهُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ (wander around in the Earth, as lost people) in verse 26 is 722 words (This signifies the year in which Jewish Northern Kingdom was destroyed in 722 BC). If we multiply: 722 x 2 = 1444 (We know that 1444 H is the expected year of the end of Israel, expressed in Hijri calendar, which is equivalent to 2022 AD).

13. The number of verses from the beginning of verse 27 in Sura Maida (Chapter 5) to the end of Sura Israa (Chapter 17) is 1445. We know that 1445 is the number of years from the Israa (Prophet Mohammad's صلى الله عليه وسلم miraculous over-night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem) to the expected end of Israel in 2022.

14. The number of letters in Sura Maida (Chapter 5) from the beginning of verse 12 (which discusses Allah's covenant with the Children of Israel) to the end of verse 26 (which discusses God's punishment of the Children of Israel for their first corruption) is 1557 letters. This is equal to the number of years from the death of Solomon (which signifies beginning of the first corruption committed by the Children of Israel) in 935 BC to the Hijra (migration of Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم from Mecca to Medina) in 622 AD: 935 + 622 = 1557 years.

15. Jaber Bolushi believes the exact date of the end of Israel will be August 7, 2022 (7/ 8/ 2022 AD). In Sura Israa (Chapter 17), verse 7 mentions that the Muslims will enter again the Al-Aqsa Mosque:

إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوؤُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُواْ مَا عَلَوْاْ تَتْبِيرًاO

[If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil, it is for yours (your selves). So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass, We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power].

Jaber Bolushi believes the following statement in this verse regarding God's punishment is crucial to decoding the exact date Muslim will conquer Jerusalem and enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 2022: فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوؤُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُواْ [So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass, We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter] . This statement, as it appears in the Quran in Arabic, consists of 7 words. The word وَلِيَدْخُلُواْ (to enter) consists of 8 letters. So, in Jaber Bolushi's opinion, this could signify that the exact date of conquering Jerusalem and entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque is likely to be 7/ 8/ 2022 (August 7, 2022) which is 10 Muharram 1444 H in Hijri calendar. Muharram is the first month in the Hijri Calendar. The day 10 Muharram is also referred to by Muslims as Ashoura. Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم asked Muslims to fast during that day every year because to honor Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). This is also the day on which Imam Al-Hussain was killed.

This day is also a Jewish holiday called Tisha B' Av ( means 9th day of the Jewish month of Av in Hebrew calendar) which is considered by the Jews as the saddest day in their history.

According to Mishnah (Oral Torah, the first major work of Rabbinic Judaism), the day commemorates five sad events that occurred on this day:

The twelve spies sent by Moses to observe the land of Canaan returned from their mission. Only two of the spies, Joshua and Caleb, brought a positive report, while the others spoke disparagingly about the land. The majority report caused the Children of Israel to cry, panic and despair of ever entering the "Promised Land". For this, they were punished by God that their generation would not enter the land. Because of the Israelites' lack of faith, God decreed that for all generations this date would become one of crying and misfortune for their descendants, the Jewish people. (see Numbers Ch. 13–14)

The First Jewish Temple built by King Solomon was destroyed by the Babylonians led by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC. The people of Judah (Judea), the Jewish Southern Kingdom, were sent into the Babylonian exile.

The Second Jewish Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD (CE), scattering the people of Judah and commencing the Jewish exile from the Holy Land. (According to the Talmud in tractate Ta'anit, the destruction of the Second Temple began on the ninth and was finally consumed by the flames the next day on the Tenth of Av.)

The Jewish Bar Kokhba's revolt against Rome failed in 135 AD (CE). Simon bar Kokhba was killed, and the Jewish city of Betar was destroyed.

Following the Roman siege of Jerusalem, the razing of Jerusalem occurred the next year. A Temple for an idol was built to replace the Jewish Temple.

Tisha B' Av is also designated by Jews as mourning day for the following calamities:

Expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 AD.

The Alhambra Decree of 1492 AD, expelling the Jews from Spain, took effect on the 7th of Av (just two days before Tisha B'Av).

In 1914 AD, Tisha B'Av was August 1st, the day Germany declared war on Russia and the Swiss army mobilized. World War I caused unprecedented devastation across Europe and set the stage for World War II and the Holocaust.

On the eve of Tisha B'Av 1942 AD, the mass deportation began of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto, en route to Treblinka.

On the day after Tisha B'Av in 2005 AD, Israel began the expulsion of Gush Katif residents in the Gaza Strip. The expulsion was pushed back by a day, so as not to coincide with Tisha B'Av.

The Second Israeli war against Lebanon which was a major upset to Israel because Israel was not able to free the Israeli soldiers that were held by HizbAllah. Despite the heavy damage to the infrastructure of Lebanon, civilian homes and the casualties among Lebanese civilians, HizbAllah survives and retained most of its power. The war took place in the three weeks leading up to Tisha B'Av in July 2006 AD.
