Mahdi (as) will come from among my community. In his time, my community will be blessed with a blessing the like of which has never been seen before. Much rain will fall down from the sky, and the plants of the ground will hold back nothing. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 9) If it were the last day of life, Allah would prolong that day until He sends a man [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] from my Household. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 10) Even if only one night remained for the world, Allah would extend it, so that one from my House would come and rule the world. His name matches mine, and his father’s name my father’s name. Just as the world was filled with cruelty, he will fill it with justice. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 11) “The age of property will come to an end with him, [Hazrat Mahdi (as)], and walayat will end with him.” (Muhyiddin IbnArabi, al-Jawab al-Mustaqim amma Seele anhu al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi, Bayazid, no: 3750) Narrated by Ali (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Even if there remains only one day for the world, Allah, the Exalted, will send a man from the Ahl al-Bayt (People of the House). (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5:92) Days and nights will not end until one [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] from my Ahl al-Bayt rules the entire world. (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmus-saqib fi Bayan Annal Mahdi min Awladi Ali b. Abu Talib Alet-Tamam wa al-Qamal) Hazrat Mahdi (as) is from the line of my daughter Fatima. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10:348) Hear the glad tidings of Hazrat Mahdi (as). He is one from the Quraysh and from my Ahl al-Bayt. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 13) Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children. His face is like a star shining in the sky. (Ali Ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Qaari al-Harawi al-Hanafi, Risalat Mashrab al Vardi fi Mazhabi l Mahdi) Tammam in his Fawaid and Ibn al-Athakir relate from Abd-Allah ibn Amr that he said: A CHILD OF HASSAN [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] will appear from the east, and even if mountains stand against him, he will crush them and use those mountains as roads., (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 22) According to another hadith that has come down from Hazrat Ali, he looked at his son Hazrat Hassan one day and said: “As named by the Prophet (saas), this son of mine is a sayyid. Someone [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] known by the name of the Prophet WILL COME FROM THE LINE OF HASSAN, and will resemble him [the Prophet (saas)] in moral values, but not in his nature (physical and body features).” (Al-Taj V, 363) Imam Zayn al-Abidin (as) said: Our Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will resemble the messengers of Allah in various ways. He will individually resemble the Prophets Noah (as), Abraham (as), Moses (as), Jesus (as), Job (as) and Muhammad (saas). He will resemble Noah (as) in being long-lived, ABRAHAM (AS) IN HIS BIRTH BEING CONCEALED [AT HOME] and away from the public eye ... (Sheikh al-Saduq, Kamal al-Din, p. 322, chapter 31, hadith 3) Our Prophet (saw) says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come from medina, whereas in another hadith he says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) “will come from the village of Kara.” Imam al-Qurtubi’s at-Tazkirah refers to Hazrat Mahdi (as) coming from the western part of the Islamic countries. This statement shows that the large city in which Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be born is in the western part of the Islamic nations. In another hadith, our Prophet (saw) tells his interlocutor that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will perform the spiritual capture of medina, in other words, a big city. In the account, because there were many medinas (or big cities), the person speaking to the Prophet (saw) was uncertain which medina, in other words which big city, Hazrat Mahdi (as) would achieve the spiritual conquest of. He therefore asked the Prophet (saw) which medina (or big city) he meant. The Prophet (saw) answered that this medina (city) was Constantinople (Istanbul). During the conquest of Constantinople he [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will plant a standard when he goes to make ablution for the morning prayer, and the -water will divide in two and withdraw from him., He will cross to the other side through this path that opens and say, “O people, learn from this. The sea has parted its waters for us, just as it did for the -tribe of Israel.” They will utter the takbir again and again and with twelve takbirs -the twelve towers of the city will collapse. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 57) Hazrat Mahdi (as), one of my children, comes into being, by the blessing of Allah, upon the approach of the Day of Judgment; the weakening of the believers hearts because of death, hunger, fitnah and the disappearance of the Sunnah; and the emergence of innovations and the loss of means by which to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong. His justice and prosperity will ease the believers hearts, and friendship and love will settle between the non-Arab and the Arab nations. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 66)
