The appearance of the Antichrist and the return of Christ Jesus son of Mary The Prophet (peace be upon him) announced that at the end of time God would send a litmus test: the emergence of the Antichrist (in Arabic: "Ad-Dajjal" - "the great Deceiver "- or" al-ul-A'war Kaddhâb "-" Borgne Liar "), a man who will reign over almost the entire earth and during the reign of anyone who does not believe in him will in huge material difficulties. The Prophet then announced God would return to Jesus son of Mary (in Arabic: "al-Massih Issa ibn Maryam", "Massih
" is the Arabic form of "messiah" as "
Christ" is Greek translation) for the confrontation with the Deceiver.
The Deceiver is a young man (M 2937), is blind (B 2892, M 169) (within the meaning of "blind eye" instead of "Cyclops"), very curly hair (B 6709 ) every believer will read, written between his eyes [or on the bottom of his forehead], letters that mean "disbelief" or "unbeliever" (M 2933).
The Deceiver
invite people to bring faith in him: a Hadith predicts that claim to be God's prophet (BEF 13/109), others that claim to be God (A 19665); another Hadith states that d First he tells the prophet, then God (QA p. 60). Perhaps in the first place and to some men, the Deceiver will look like a prophet of God, and that, and then in front of other men, he says he is God or His avatar, down to earth realize the grand finale for the good of humanity, or else that these other people are saying to themselves that it is the avatar of God and do not contradict. The Deceiver
appear, According to some Hadith, a place situated between Syria and Iraq (M 2937), and from others, in Isfahan (FB 13/400): this difference may be explained thus: there appear to first in one of these places, but its world-class will be from the other place (QA p.146, footnote on page).
The Deceiver will have with him food and drink in abundance (B 6705, M 2939, IM 4073), and it will rain, the crops will grow, bring out the buried treasure (M 2937) and all those who bring faith in him will be in the material well-being, while those who refuse to make faith in him and remain faithful to God will end up with nothing (M 2937). It will pass near people, they call him a liar, and shortly thereafter, all animals die (FB 13/131). The Deceiver will even be able to heal the man born blind and the leper (TTNM 38).
The Deceiver will help by spirits - those who are called in Arabic jinn -: they will materialize in the form of dead relatives of a person, and enjoindront to it to believe the Deceiver ( QA p. 61). The Deceiver will also be a "paradise" and a "hell", and reward people based on their belief or disbelief in him, but enter his paradise will lead to enter the real hell in the hereafter, and give up his paradise and risk being thrown into hell its lead to enter Paradise in the Hereafter (B 3160, M 2936, after a review of those mentioned in FB 13 / 124). The presence of
Deceiver on the world stage will be forty days: the first three days but will have a longer than usual to the point that the Prophet said that Muslims should, these days, perform prayers with reference to time normal and not just apparent movement of the sun in the sky (M 2937). The Deceiver will move with extraordinary speed (M 2937). And there will be no city on earth where it does, except the cities of Mecca and Medina (B 1782, M 2943). Some Hadith also say he can not enter Bayt ul-Maqdis (FB 13/130-131), is this the whole Temple Mount, or the al-Aqsa mosque only? The fact is that the reign of the Deceiver will be established over all the earth except in these three places: the cities of Mecca and Medina, most Bayt ul-Maqdis (FB 13/131). The Deceiver
come to Medina to the east (M 1380); the top of Mount Uhud, seeing the Prophet's mosque, he told his followers:
"You see that White Palace? Is the mosque of Ahmad" (FB 13/117). The Deceiver would attempt to enter Medina, but on each channel for entering the city, he will face the presence of two angels, and can therefore penetrate (B 6707). While he will camp near the city of Medina will shake the earth, and hypocrites living in the city so far come out and join the Deceiver (B 1782, M 2943), the Prophet said:
"It will be the day of issue [with respect to the presence of hypocrites in my city] " (FB 13/117).
that day (M 2938), a Muslim in his youth (M 2937) will travel with the army's Deceiver, and asked the guards to it to let him meet the great liar. At these words the guards will get angry and about to kill the boy, but then, remembering that their master forbade them to kill anyone without his permission, changing his mind, and lead the young Muslim from the Deceiver and as soon as the young believer will see, they will say:
"O men, I testify that the Deceiver is that the Prophet had spoken!" The Deceiver will then lie back and hitting, then he will say
"You do not believe in me? - You are the Messiah Liar" tell the young man. The Deceiver then order that this young man is sawed in half. He will walk between the two parts of body can say to this:
"Arise" and the young man will rise again.
"Do you believe in me now? tell him there. -
I am even more convinced that you are the liar" answer the young man. The Deceiver, wanting to kill him again, can not do that anymore.
"This man said the Prophet,
will be one of the greatest martyrs in God" (M 2938; see also B 6713 with FB).
In the area of Medina, the Deceiver will leave for the region of Syria-Palestine (M 1380). For its part, the Mahdi will have withstood the military attacks by the army Deceiver's, but without showing significant success, and indeed many of those present alongside the Mahdi will have lost their lives in resisting the army of the Deceiver (TTNM 36). Finally the Deceiver and his Mahdi army besieging and a group of Muslims ("'min al-Muslimin issâba" FB 13/117, TTNM 20; "julluhum" ay "al-'Arab" TTNM 13; it will be the Muslims who will be alongside the Mahdi). These Muslims will find themselves surrounded in the Jordan Valley ("il-Batn Urdunn" TTNM 36) / Valley Afiq (TTNM 16) / on Mount Afiq (TTNM 48) / on the Mount called "Jabal ud-Dukhan (TTNM 31) / Jerusalem ("Ilia" = "Aelia" FB 13/117) / on - or - Mount in Jerusalem ("Jabal Ilia" TTNM 20) / Bayt ul-Maqdis (TTNM 13, 17, FB 13/131, this name is he by the city of Jerusalem, the entire Temple Mount, or al-Aqsa Mosque?). How can these elements so mixed I do not know not really:
- either it's different groups of people, some being besieged in the valley Afiq, others in Jerusalem;
- either this is one group of people besieged in the same instead, it was named differently depending on whether one considers the general area where this is necessary, or depending on whether one believes that particular place only (the hill on which is ul-Bayt would Maqdis named in Arabic "Jabal ud-Dukhan", all located in Jerusalem, the latter being located in the extension of the great valley of the Jordan and Afiq, there is however a problem in relation to this explanation is that another Hadith called "Jabal-ul khamr" Mount of Bayt ul-Maqdis ": M 2937, unless they are two different amounts of" Bayt ul-Maqdis "and that in the Hadith, the name "Bayt ul-Maqdis" itself means sometimes the plaza, now, by metonymy, the entire city of Jerusalem);
- either it's different episodes, the first being besieged Muslims throughout Valley Afiq, before having to retreat to Bayt ul-Maqdis and / or "node-Jabal Dukhan.
Wallâhu A'lam.
seat will be very challenging (TTNM 31): The siege will suffer terribly from hunger because they have nothing to eat (TTNM 16, 115). Then the Mahdi and his companions will take the resolution to end the next day and try all facing the besiegers (TTNM 20). At the end of the night when they are about to perform the dawn prayer (the second and quick call to prayer has already been given), the Messiah Jesus son of Mary will come to them : God will back down to where it is now, some Hadith say that it will come down to the east of Damascus (M 2937), others that it will come down to Jerusalem itself (on tatimma TTNM, p . 274): Some ulema gave preference (
tarjîh ) in the Hadith saying that Jesus will cool to Damascus, and then it's a road that will join the Mahdi Jerusalem (QA, p. 157, footnote on page) Ali al-Qari, it gave preference to the Hadith saying that Jesus back down to Jerusalem itself (
Mirqât ul-mafâtîh 10/197): many Hadith saying the Mahdi and his companions will be circled in Jerusalem, because we understand better than Jesus descended directly from them rather than having to come from Damascus (but God knows best what will happen).
Muslims ask the newcomer
"Who are you? - I am Jesus son of Mary" answer he (TTNM 68). The Mahdi will ask Jesus to lead prayers of dawn, but it will say
"You, you lead the prayer for each other: it is an honor that God gave to this community" (M 156). So the Mahdi who will lead this prayer and Jesus will do it under his direction. During prayer, after genuflecting, the Mahdi will deliver the invocation process (known as a "one-qunût Nazila):
" God annihilate the Deceiver " (TTNM 24).
After the prayer, Jesus said:
"Open the door!" (QA p. 63) (this is probably the door of the place where they are besieged esplanade mosques? al-Aqsa mosque? building located elsewhere?). The door will open. So when, on the other hand, the Deceiver will see Jesus, it will lose its consistency (M 2897; literally: "it will melt), then he will flee (QA p. 63). Jesus continues (M 2937, 2940). And it captured him near the gate of Lod, where he will end his life (M 2937). Then Jesus will go through the regions of the world comfort all those who, having remained faithful to God, have suffered tremendous hardship under the rule of the Deceiver: he will wipe their faces and talk about what is reserved for them in paradise ( M 2937).
Shortly after, God revealed to Jesus that
Gog and Magog are about to sweep over the earth, and orders him to bring with him the believers take refuge on Mount Sinai (M 2937); a other version: in Lod (TTNM 36). Gog and Magog will surge into effect and destroy everything in their path and they muff Lake Tiberias (M 2937). Believers experience a terrible famine (M 2937). Jesus then pray to God to destroy these destroyers, prayer that God will grant making them die suddenly of an epidemic. Then Jesus and believers come out and then the land will be cleared of corpses Gog and Magog, and then heavy rain fall (M 2937).
Then open an era of peace and happiness will reign everywhere on earth, we will no longer be war anywhere (A 9068), no human will have no enmity or hatred against another (M 155), the blessing will appear everywhere on earth (M 2937), men refuse the money they offer (M 155), and even the wild beasts and snakes become harmless (A 9349).
This state of affairs will last seven years (M 2940).
Then Jesus died (A 9349, AD 4324). After his return to earth, there will be past seven years, or forty years (these are two different ways to reconcile two different Hadith, one saying that Jesus will remain on earth for forty years, the other saying that the state of world peace will last seven years - AS, p. 364 -: some scholars therefore considered that Jesus will remain only seven years after his return to earth, the Hadith saying "forty years" meaning he has lived in all forty years on earth thirty-three years before being raised to the heavens, and seven years after his return, another way to reconcile these two sayings is that after his return Jesus will live forty years, but only seven years will be those of total peace, since Many years will be spent wait while Gog and Magog will ravage the land, others to accomplish the premises which will ensure world peace and total).
When Jesus has breathed his last, the Muslims will perform the funeral prayer on him (AD 4324). Jesus is buried in Medina, near the Prophet (TTNM 26, 59: this is not a Hadith, but a word of Abdullah ibn Salam).
