the Muslims that he is the Imam Al-Mahdi. As explained, Baytul Maqdis is The
Constantinople. The Muslims will go to him to reinforce his army and fight for him.
They will be victorious, then people will give their bay'ah (allegiance) to him.
Therefore people will see him, be in his company, will see the marks on him and
will be pleased with his conduct. They will have a good opinion of him. But that will
not make him officially known as the Imam Al-Mahdi, as he will not even say he is
from the lineage of the Ahlul Bayt. Only his conquering Baytul
Maqdis/Constantinople will reveal him as The True Imam Al-Mahdi.

23.) The Color of Imam Al-Mahdi's Face

The following ahādith state that his color is white, another as gold bronze coin,
and the third as Arab in coloring: how is this possible?

a. White as a Pearl or a Star or a Light

"Hadhrat Mahdi is an individual from my line. His face is like a pearl star." Sunan
Abu Dawud, Al-Barzanji's Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat As-Sa'ah

"His face is radiant like a shining star." Ibn Hajar Al-Haithami's Al-Qawl Al-
Mukhtasar fie Alamatil Mahdi Al-Muntadhar, p. 33, Al-Muttaqi Al-Hindi's Al-Burhan
fie Alamatil Mahdi Akhir Az-Zaman, p. 22

"He (Imam Al-Mahdi) is a beautiful young man with a beautiful face. The light of
his face rises to his head and the blackness of his hair." Iqdud Durar

b. Like a Gold-Bronze Coin

"The color of his face is described variously as shining like a gold-bronze coin, so
bright that it is almost impossible to recognize the real color." Biharul Anwar,
vol.13, p. 263, Shi'ite source

c. Arab in Coloring

"Hadhrat Mahdi is Arab in coloring."  Ibn Hajar Al-Haithami's Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar

fie Alamatil Mahdi Al-Muntadhar, p. 15-75

"Hadhrat Mahdi's coloring is Arab." Al-Barzanji's Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat As-Sa'ah, p. 163

The Imam Al-Mahdi will establish justice for the deaths of thousands of Muslims.
For this he will become a Most Wanted Man. So the Muslims will see his face in
pictures published and posted in the internet: the first is a black and white picture,
the second his face is like a gold-bronze coin, and the third wherein he is seen with
his true skin color that is Arab in coloring.

24.) Bloodshed for the Same Claim

Abu Hurairah reported Allah's Messenger, SAAS, in many ahādith and one of them
was this: "The Last Hour will not come until two groups (of Muslims) confront (i.e.
battle out) each other and there is a large-number of casualties amongst them and
the claim of both of them is the same." Muslim

The People of Yaman/Damascus and the Foreign Legion of Mujahideen will

choose General Mansur to remain as their overall Military Leader during Malhama
and they will boycott direct orders of the New Chief-of-Staff concerning the
appointment of a new leader for them. There will be battles between the forces of
the new Chief-of-Staff and of the Foreign Legion of Mujahideen until they are
expelled from Damascus, all of them returning to Iraq. These are the two groups of
Muslims fighting for the same claim and cause but will fight each other for the
right of leadership of the People of Yaman/Damascus and of the Foreign Legion of
Mujahideen of the End of Times. The new Chief-of-Staff's Army will fight in the
name of obedience to the Rule of the Leaders of the Emirate while the Foreign
Legions and the People of Damascus will fight for the right of General Mansur for
his leadership of them as stated in the hadith to obey him and support him as he
will establish the rule of Imam Al-Mahdi. This hadith therefore refers to the Isabah
(splitting into two groups) in the month of Shawwal.

25.) The One Who Sits is Better than the One Who Stands

Abu Bakra reported Allah's Messenger, SAAS, as saying, "There would soon be
turmoil. Behold! There would be turmoil in which the one who would be seated is
better than the one who would stand, and the one who would stand would be
better than the one who would run. Behold! When the turmoil comes or it appears,
the one who has camel should stick to his camel, and he who has sheep or goat
should stick to his sheep or goat and he who has land should stick to his land." A
person said, "O Allah's Messenger! What is your opinion about one who has neither
camel not sheep nor land?" Thereupon he said, "He should take hold of his sword
and beat its edge with the help of a stone and then try to find a way of escape. O
Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message); O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message); O
Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message). A person said, "O Allah's Messenger! What
is your opinion if I am drawn to a rank in spite of myself, or in one of the groups
and made to march and a man strikes with his sword or there comes an arrow and
kills me?" Thereupon he said, "He will bear the punishment of his sin and that of
yours and he would be one of the denizens of Hell." Muslim
In another hadith: Abu Hurairah reported Allah's Messenger, SAAS, as saying,
"There will be soon a period of turmoil in which the one who sits will be better than
the one who stands and the one who stands will be better than the one who walks
and the one who walks will be better than the one who runs. He who would watch
them will be drawn by them. So he who finds a refuge or shelter against it should
make it as his resort." Muslim

During Malhama, the Romans will incite the Muslims to kill their fellow Muslims.
The Messenger of Allah, SAAS, advised the Muslim who would be in that position
in the End Times not to participate in the killing of his brother Muslim by advising
the believer to "take hold of his sword and beat its edge with the help of a stone"
and to find a way to escape. He advises them to not even become a spectator of
the killings as "he will be drawn to it." The Muslims will be made to march in the
open and others will be prodded by the Romans to kill them with a sword or by
shooting them as targets from a far place. He who kills his brother Muslim during
that time will carry the burden of his sin and of the person he kills and will be one
of the People of Hellfire.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Appendix IV
===================================================
Islamic Prophesies Found in the Biblical and Jewish Scriptures
===================================================

This article is based on the interpretations of the ahādith of the Prophet, SAAS,
from the time of Caliph Harith to the time of Caliph Al-Mansur. This article is
written not to sanctify or consecrate the Christian and Jewish Scriptures as basis
of religion as these are corrupted already, but only to analyze some of the
prophesies contained in them in a scholarly manner of what could be true and of
what are similar to the prophesies of the Prophet Muhammad, SAAS. 

===========================
1.) Imam Al-Mahdi, Khalifatullah
===========================

The Prophet, SAAS, said about the Imam Al-Mahdi in the following ahādith:

"The (Imam) Mahdi will own the entire world." Al-Muttaqi Al-Hindi's Al-Burhan fie
Alamatil Mahdi Akhir Az-Zaman,  p. 10

"The Mahdi will invade all the places between the East and the West." Ibn Hajar Al-
Haythami's Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar fie Alamatil Mahdi Al-Muntadhar, p. 56

"Allah will give so much power to him (Imam Al-Mahdi). He will remove cruelty
from the world overnight." Al-Futuhatul Makkiyyah, p. 66, Al-Barzanji's Al-Isha'ah li
Ashrat As-Sa'ah, p. 186

"The Mahdi will rule the world like Dhul Qarnain and the Prophet Sulayman
(Solomon)." Ibn Hajar Al-Haythami's Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar fie Alamatil Mahdi Al-
Muntadhar, p. 29

The Prophet, SAAS, said, "There have been four great kings of the earth. Two were
believers and two were unbelievers. The believers were Dhul Qarnain and Sulaiman
(Solomon) and the unbelievers were Nimrod and Bakhtinasar (Nebuchadnessar).
There will be a fifth king to rule the world. He will be from the people of my House
(Ahlul Bayt, and he is Imam Al-Mahdi)." Ibn Al-Jawzi, Maktubat-i-Rabbani, 2/1163

In the Bible his name is Shiloh. He is mentioned thus in Genesis 49:10

a. "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff between his feet,
until he comes to whom it belongs, and the obedience of the nations is his."
Source: New International Version, 1984, Protestant Bible

b. "The scepter from Judah and the leader from his thigh will not be taken away
until he who will be sent arrives, and he will be the expectations of the Gentiles."
Source: The S_cred Bible, Catholic Bible

c. "The scepter shall not depart from Judah nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
until Shiloh come, and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." Source: King
James Bible, Protestant Bible.

He is also called Sheba and Dedan. In Ezekiel Chapter 38: "Sheba and Dedan and
the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages (or strong lions) will say to you
(people of Chittim), 'Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to
loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize
much plunder?' "

His title in the Bible is "Prince of Princes" in the Book of Daniel, 8: 23-26. "For at
the appointed time of the end, when the transgressors have reached their fullness,
a king (American President) shall rise, having fierce features who will understand
sinister schemes. His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power (under him
shall be the power of all nations). He shall destroy fearfully and shall prosper and
thrive (i.e. he will win World War III). He shall destroy the mighty (Eastern Nations)
and the holy people (the Muslims he will war after World War III).

Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule (secretly
uniting with enemy nations to war the Muslims of the Caliphate). And he shall exalt
himself in his heart. He shall destroy many (Muslims) in their prosperity. He shall
even rise against the Prince of Princes (Imam Al-Mahdi); but he shall be broken
without human means. And the visions of the evenings and mornings which was
told is true; therefore seal up the vision, because it refers to many days in the
future." Book of Daniel, 8: 19, 23-26

In the Bible he is The Man Who will Rule All Nations with a Rod of Iron.
His birth is described thus in the following verses:

"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and
the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: and she being
with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared
another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon having seven heads and
ten horns, and seven crowns upon his head. And his tail drew the third part of the
stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the
woman which was ready to be delivered, or to devour her child as soon as it was
born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of
iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to His Throne. And the woman
fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should
feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." Revelation 12: 1-6

In another Bible verse: "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon
white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a
sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he (Imam Al-Mahdi)
shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness
and wrath of Almighty God." Revelation, 19:14,15

From a letter to the Church of Thyatira: "And he that overcometh, and keepeth My
works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule
them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers."

He is Conquest,- the Man who Sat on a White Horse,- the first of the Four
Horsemen of Apocalypse: "Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the Seven
Seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder,
"Come." I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow, and a
crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer." Revelation,
6: 1-2

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him 
was called Faithful and True and in righteousness he doth judge and make war."
Revelation 19:11

==========================
2.) Caliph Harith Ibn Al-Harrath
==========================

In the End Times the Khilafa Rashida will rise again. The first of men to rule is a
man named Caliph Harith, and the General of his Black Flags Army is General
Mansur. The hadith:

"A man called Al-Harith bin Harrath will come forth from Ma Wara An-Nahr (Land
Beyond the River). His army will be led by a man called Mansur who will make
matters ready and enabled for Muhammad's family as Quraish enabled matters for
the Messenger of Allah, SAAS. Every believer must help him" (Mansur the General)
or he (the Prophet, SAAS) said, "respond to him (to his calls and military orders)."
Abu Dawud, An-Nasā'i, Baihaqi

The common meaning of the name Harith is "Lion". However, his true name's
meaning corresponds to "numerous army", so the name "Harith" means "numerous
army" besides the meaning of "lion". His kunya (patronymic name) is "Father of
Goodness". However, he is more known to the people and to his companions as
"Grandpa Michael". Almost all people call him by this name. Only the closest of his
family members will call him by his true Arabic name. This "Grandpa Michael"
name is alluded in the hadith:

From Abdullah Ibn Amr Ibn Al-Aas, "When the two old men rule: the old man of the
Arabs (Muslims, Grandpa Michael, which is Caliph Harith) and the old man of the
Romans (Grandpa Benjamin), then at their hands will be (the fierce battles of)
Malahim (Malhama Battles)." Nua'im bin Hammad's Kitab Al-Fitān

In the Bible, Caliph Harith is mentioned in Daniel 12: 1-11 as "Michael the Great
Prince". He will be a Muslim and not a Christian leader. The Bible speaks well of
him. These verses are evidences for the Christians to understand that God
Almighty Allah is on the side of Caliph Harith mentioned in the Bible and that they
are His Chosen People, that Jesus is only a Prophet and that the message he
brought to the people was Islam and that Muhammad's message was a
continuation of his message and is the final message, and that Islam is the true
religion until the end of time.

In the Bible, Daniel 12:1-11

"At that time, Michael the Great Prince who protects your people, will arise. There
will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations
until then. But at that time, your people - everyone whose name is written in the
book- will be delivered."

Commentary: Michael is Harith Ibn Harrath. Great Prince means a Righteous

Caliph. He will rise and rule in the End Times, paving the way for the establishment
of the rule of Imam Al-Mahdi. The time of distress that has never happened from
the beginning of nations until then refers to Al-Malhama in Islamic eschatology
and what is referred to in the Book of Daniel as the "Abomination of Desolation".
"Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life,
others to shame and everlasting contempt.

"Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who
lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.

"But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end.
Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.

"Then I, Daniel, looked and there before me stood two others, one on the bank of
the river and one on the opposite bank.

"One of them said to the man clothed in the linen who was above the waters of the
river, 'How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?'

"The man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right
hand and left hand towards the heaven, and I heard him swear by Him Who lives
forever, saying: 'It will be for a time, times, and half a time. When the power of the
holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.'"

Commentary: The two other men could be the two other Mahdis, the second and
the third, namely Al-Qahtāni and Al-Mansur. It mentions a "time", "times" and "half a
time" which is seven years of righteous rule of the Imam Al-Mahdi, then "times"
which is fourteen years of righteous rule of Al-Qahtāni, and "half a time" about five
years (out of nine) of righteous rule of Al-Mansur.

"So I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked my Lord, 'My Lord,  what will the
outcome of all this be?'

"He replied, 'Go your way Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until
the time of the end.

Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be
wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will
understand.

From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes
desolation is set up, these will be 1,290 days.

Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of 1,335 days."

Commentary: The true explanations to these verses will come only in the end time.
The wicked will not understand it while the wise will see through the truthfulness
in it. The Abomination that Causes Desolation, which is Al-Malhama, will last for
1,290 days, and the blessed one is Dhul Urf (Christian General Raphael) who will
embrace Islam after three years six months of Imam Al-Mahdi's conquest of Baytul
Maqdis, the time span of Al-Malhama according to the Bible. The rest of wars of
the Imam Al-Mahdi after the three years six months period will be fought then in
the land of Turks.

====================
3.) Mansur The General
====================

The General of the Black Flags Army of Caliph Harith is General Mansur. "Mansur"
is a kunya. He is called "Abu Mansur". He is the wise one who cuts men to pieces.

In the Bible, Hosea 9:7,- "The Days of Vengeance are come, the Days of
Recompense are come; and Israel shall be afflicted as the prophet that is mad, a
man deranged, by reason of the multitude of thine iniquities thy madness has
abounded."

The man seemingly deranged is General Mansur. He will be out for vengeance for
the death of his wife. He will be a butcher, and everyone will witness his savagery
to the enemies of Islam. He dies a martyr's death on the walls of Baytul Maqdis,
and no, he is not a prophet as the Bible verse states, but a learned man in religion.

=============================
4.) The Army of the Imam Al-Mahdi
=============================

In Appendix I, Section V, the article deals with the characteristics of the Black Flags
Army of the Imam Al-Mahdi. The most distinct of their characteristics is their being
Men of Slaughters. The hadith:

Thawban reported that the Prophet, SAAS, said, "(Before the Conquest of Az-
Zawra), three men will be killed at the place where your treasure (Imam Al-Mahdi)
is. Each of them will be the son of a caliph (Harith), but none of them (enemies)
will get hold (capture) of the treasure (Imam Al-Mahdi). Then the Black Banners
will come out of the East (and conquer Az-Zawra) and they will slaughter you in a
way that has never been seen before. If you see him (Imam Al-Mahdi), give him
your allegiance, even by crawling over snow, because he is the Caliph, the Mahdi."
Ibn Majah, Musnad Ahmad, Al-Hākim's Sahiha, Ibn Kathir's Nihaya fil-Fitān wal-
Malahim, Nua'im bin Hammad's Kitab Al-Fitān, Muhammad Al-Barzanji's Isha'ah li
Ashrat As-Sa'ah

In the Bible, Jeremiah 6: 22-23, the Black Flags Army of the Imam Al-Mahdi is
described in the following words:

"Behold! A people comes from the North country (i.e. the Ajam of Baytul Maqdis of
the End Time),

And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth (i.e. the Rise
of the Islamic Caliphate in the End Times from the island nation of Iraq),

They will lay hold of bow and spear (i.e. they are a people given to terrible warfare),

They are cruel and have no mercy (i.e. they are the People of Slaughters),

Their voices roar like the sea (i.e. thunders of warfare and warcries of "Allahu
Akbar"-Allah is the Greatest!),

And they ride horses (i.e. they are skilled and fearless horse riders, sea-faring
men),

As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion! (i.e. on the warpath
against Baytul Maqdis, and she is the daughter of Zion, not the son).

In another book of the Bible, Joel 2:1-9, the Army of the Imam Al-Mahdi is
described as such:

"Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain. Let all the
inhabitants of the land tremble. For the day of the Lord is coming; surely it is near,
a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like dawn spreading
across the mountains- a large and mighty army comes, such as never was of old
nor ever will be in the ages to come."

===================================
5.) The Invasion of the Turks: World War III
===================================

The Messenger of Allah, SAAS, prophesied that in the End of Time the Muslims will
fight the Turks. In the hadith:

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, SAAS, said, "The
Hour will not begin until you fight the Turks, who have small eyes, red faces, and
flat noses, as if their faces are hammered shields. The Hour will not begin until you
fight people with shoes made of hair." Bukhari, Muslim

The war will come about in the end months of the third year of rule of Caliph Harith
or in the early months of his fourth year of rule, when the Turks invade the
Caliphate. It will be known as World War III. This event is mentioned in the Bible, in
the Book of Daniel, verse 24:

"And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Ash-Shur, and
shall afflict Eber, and he shall also perish forever. "

Chittim in the above verse is the Land of the Turks, the Persia of the End Times in
the ahādith of the Prophet, SAAS. This is the East from where the Two Horns of
Satan will rise. They are the people of pure disbelief. Ash-Shur is Ash-Shām of the
End Times. Baytul Maqdis is still ruled by the Ajam. Eber in the Bible is the
Armenia in the hadith, a sovereign, rich and peaceful Muslim country. It directly
faces the land of Kirman/Beth Togarmah. The people of Chittim will be defeated
and will perish forever when the Imam Al-Mahdi rules the Caliphate.

In the Prophet's hadith, the invasion of the People of Chittim is also mentioned as
the Red Death. The hadith:

Ali says, "There will be Red Death and White Death before the coming of Hadhrat
Mahdi." Iqdud Durar, p.98

The Red Death is the Sword of the Turks, the slaughter they will unleash to the
Muslims in the End Times during their invasion, which is World War III. White Death
is the Harj-u-Marj, Roman Storm of Killing, Al-Malhama, The Abomination that
Causes Desolation, World War IV.

The Invasion of the Turks into the Land of the Caliphate is mentioned in the
entirety of Chapter 38 and some parts of the 39th Chapter of the Book of Ezekiel in
the Bible.

=================
The Book of Ezekiel
=================

God Almighty Allah's Victory Over the Eastern Nations of Disbelief

38. "The word of the Lord came to me, "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of
the Land of Magog, the Prince Chief of Meshek (or Rosh) and Tubal, prophesy
against him and say, "This is what the Sovereign Lord says, "I am against you Gog,
Prince of Meshek (or Rosh) and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your
jaws and bring you out with your whole army- your horses, your horsemen fully
armed and a great horde with large and small shields, brandishing their swords.
Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer
with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all it's troops,- the
many nations with you."

Commentary: Gog of the Bible are the Turks mentioned by Prophet Muhammad,
SAAS, in his ahādith. They are the People of Chittim. They are the Communists
Chinese. Magog of the Bible is the Land of Chittim. Chittim is People's Republic of
China. Prince of Meshek/Rosh/Put is the Khazar in the hadith of the Prophet,
SAAS. Khazar are the People of Czar or Tsar, and Rosh/Meshek/Put is Russia and
Putin. Tubal is the Mount Daylam of the Islamic Prophesies. Mount Daylam of the
End Times mentioned by the Prophet, SAAS, is the Mountain of the Dalai Lama,
which is Tibet. Tubal is Tibet. Gomer of the Bible is Burma of the present time.
Khooz is Cambodia. Cush is North Korea. Harran in the Prophet's hadith is
Thailand. Isfahan/Asbahan is Sabah of Malaysia. Beth Togarmah of the Bible is
Kirman of the Islamic Prophesies and is Vietnam of the present time. The Gog of
the Bible refers to the Chinese people while Magog is their land of People's
Republic of China. In Islamic eschatology the Gog and Magog terms refer to the
two lost nations of Scythes and Sarmatians imprisoned by Allah, SWT, through
Dhul Qarnain who will come out into the earth during the time of Prophet Jesus,
AS, in his return, and are not referred to in these Bible verses.

"Get ready, be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take
command of them. After many days you will be called to arms: in the latter years
you will invade a land that is brought back from the swords, and is gathered out of
many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste, but
it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. You
and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a
storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land."

Commentary: The "latter days" means the End Times. Gog/Turks/The Communist
China will invade a "Land that has been Brought Back from the Swords". This
refers to the Islamic Caliphate newly risen through wars. The term "Israel" of the
Bible refers to the Ash-Shām Caliphate of the End Times, the territory comprising
North to South lands. In the North is Baytul Maqdis from where the Ajam Romans
rule while from the South will rise Harith and an Islamic Emirate that is Caliphate in
reality. He will conquer 80 percent of the territory and in his third year of rule, war
will be waged just outside the Ajam Capital City of Baytul Maqdis. The term "Israel"
therefore generally refers to the land, to the North of which are the Ajam Romans
and to the South the Muslims. As for the term "Israelites" it refers to the Ajam
people of the North and also to the Ajam Muslims of the South. When the term
"Israelites" is mentioned it must be scrutinized as to who it refers to because some
refer to the Ajam of Baytul Maqdis before the conquest of the City by the Muslims,
and others refer to the Muslims as "Israelites" after they have conquered Baytul
Maqdis, when the Imam Al-Mahdi rules in it, the Caliphate established and ruling
from it.

From the above situation of the Caliphate, the Muslims are ruling 80 percent of the
territories in just three years (of war), in the middle of a war waged against the
Ajam of Baytul Maqdis. This is the meaning of the verse "land that is brought back
