Arrival of Sayyidina Mahdi AS
Shaykh Muhammad (s) Hisham Kabbani
2-22-2006, Oakland

Sayyidina al-Mahdi has been described in over 40-50 hadith of Prophet and all of them authentic, for Sunni and for Shi'a. I am speaking for Sunni side. And no one can deny these hadith because they are authentic and in 1980, when the false Mahdi appeared in Makkah and they took al-Haram, the Hijazi people began to ask about al-Mahdi and said to the Saudi government "You never told us about Mahdi." If you go to Sahih Muslim you find a lot hadith about Mahdi in ibn Majah and in Abu Dawud but not in Sahih Bukhari. So Muhammad (s) Ali Sabouni put all the hadith of Mahdi, I have that in Michigan. I put many in Approach of Armageddon, at the end. But in any case, Prophet said yakhruju waladin min awlaadi, yamla 'l-ardu qistan wa `adlan kama muliya dhulman wa jura. That is one hadith and prophet gave signs about appearance of Sayyidina Al Mahdi that he will appear before Masih al-Dajjal will appear. And he gave signs and most of these signs that prophets mentioned have appeared and you can see them in that book. There is the biggest sign now, one of the signs is that I give you quick, sawfa tudeeu naar min ardi Najd yashra'ibu laha `anaaqu 'l-ibli bi-Basra And he pointed to the east and said hahuna tazhar al-zalaazilu wal fitan - over there will come forth earthquakes and confusion. East of Madina is Iraq and Najd, Basra. And when they asked prophet to bless Najd and he said, O Allah bless us in our Sham and in our Yemen and they asked in our Najd and he said, "From there will come two horns of shaytan and in it will be earthquakes and confusion."

And one of the signs of the Last Days is to see the barefooted naked Bedouin competing in high rises. And now the biggest high rises are where? In Riyadh. They are bigger than the World Trade Center, bigger than the 2 towers in Malaysia. And he said yatataawaloona fil bunyaan. And that is why you see between these 2 princes, each one trying to say my building is higher. All this is happening and in the midst of that Sayyidina Mahdi will appear. And when he appears, he first moves from Makkah to Madina. First they make baya in Makkah and then from Madina he makes takbir and everyone will hear and with bismillahi he moves to Sham, as Prophet said, kayfa antum idha nazala ibn Maryam wa imaamukum minkum. "How will you be when `Isa (as) ibn Maryam descends and your imam is among you?" The Imam is Sayyidina Mahdi, not those imams who wear jeans and are filling each mosque. He is from that line of 12 imams, and he will appear in minaratun bayda at masjid al-Umawi. He will make takbir from there and that takbir will stop the huge war that is going around the world. That is according to the hadith sawfa taqtilu fi'ataan `adheemataaan... Two great groups will fight in a huge fight. If you take Samuel Huntington, clash of civilizations that is a clash of ideas and we don't know what will end up. He will come in the middle of that fire and pull that secret out and everything stop with his pronouncing: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar. Then 2nd takbir, with Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, every believer will find himself in Damascus with Mahdi. Then 3rd time Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, he will declare we have to go to get amanaat of Prophet (s) in Istanbul and to get them. Then he will declare that the Dajjal has appeared in an area a big mountain that is near Sham and called Douma and that is hadd that Dajjal cannot pass that Sayyidina Jibreel will put his wing and he cannot pass that limit.

Mrs. Maimoona Ahmed: I was in India, and I saw dream in which you made a very important announcement and it was like looking at TV screen and the announcer was saying that such and such happened.

MSH: This is what Mawlana Shaykh is announcing something and at that time the announcement will come and they informed you ahead of time. But I want to emphasize we are people who don't carry weapon, don't carry knife, Sayyidina Mahdi does not come with anything, he does not carry weapon, he only uses Allahu Akbar, that cuts everything. So make sure you don't carry a knife. Never I carried a knife, though it is a Sunnah to carry a knife, but to be sure that my ego does not carry. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim carries a knife but now he does not. But his knife is something small like this.
