During the Mahdis reign, he would be involved with three conflicts: One conflict would be against the tyranny, oppression and injustice in the region, replacing it with equity and justice. Another conflict would be against the Romans, who would be trying to destroy his Caliphate. Then, the final conflict would be against the False Messiah, who would be trying to rule the world, and misguide people to his false religion. This would occur as follows: With his army now bolstered by saintly and pious people Imam Mahdi will defeat his enemies, as we have seen in the initial battles mentioned above. Upon releasing Syria from the oppressive rule of the Sufyaani, whom he captures and executes, he then sends his forces to Antioch to rest. One of the Prophets companions commented upon the lushness of Antioch saying that he had never seen a place that had -so much rain, whereupon the Prophet, peace be upon him, told him that it was because the Torah, Staff of Moses, Tablets and the Table of Solomon, the son of David are concealed within its caves and that not one single cloud comes to it from any direction that does not pour its blessing upon that valley. -After woods, he regroups his forces in Syria, and prepares to engage the oppressive -Zionists in -Jerusalem. He will fight them, and also release Jerusalem from their oppressive rule. All the lands Imam Mahdi conquers were before him under Tyranny and Oppression, which he replaces with -Equity and -Justice. He will become the supreme leader and reformer of the Muslim Ummah. He will rebuild the sanctuary of the Masjid al-Aqsa as it was destroyed before him by the Zionists. -*There will be a great Islamic revival, and -this Deen will reign supreme. He will fill the world with justice after it had been plagued with oppression. He will practice and lead people according to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). He will live for nine years after his emergence, and rule for seven, with complete justice and righteousness, and all this time Islam will be the predominant religion of the world. . During his rule, the Muslims will experience great economic enrichment. There will be no droughts and lands will be exceptionally fertile. The earth will yield crops in abundance and of the best quality. This rich agricultural state will ensure a glut of money and food. In fact, so much that people who come to the Baitul-Maal for assistance will be given as much as they can take away. In short the Muslims will live a most luxurious and comfortable life, something they will never ever experience again in this world. Imam Mahdi will distribute lands equally among people. The hearts of people will become so independent of wealth and so dependent on Allah that when an announcement is made for the needy to come forward, only one person will stand up. When this person will be given wealth in such abundance, he will feel ashamed and would want to return the wealth, but the answer will be: We do not take back what has been given. Its all yours to keep. Imam Mahdi will conquer the city of Constantinople (presently known as Istanbul). The story behind this conquest is as follows: After the earthquakes, which destroyed his enemies, and the subsequent amassing of Muslim armies under his leadership, the Imam will leave Makkah for Madinah, where he will offer salaam at the Rowzha Mubarak (The Grave of The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Having done this his next step would be to proceed on to Damascus, where the bulk of the Roman forces along with the tribe of Kalb and their Sufyaani leader, would be deployed, as was previously mentioned. In Damascus, the Imam will set up his headquarters. Following this, an agreement is made between Imam Mahdi and the Romans, which is mediated by an Israelite, descending from Aaron. This specific agreement with this specific Roman force will be upheld for seven years. From here, he will conduct military operations against the enemies of Islam and defeats them (such as the ones in Jerusalem), and from here, he will rule. The Bayt-ul-Maqdis (Masjid al-Aqsa) in Jerusalem will also be rebuilt. In response to this, the Roman forces, breaking whatever treaties remained between them and the Muslims, will attack, and destroy the city of the Prophet (Madinah), and start to gather their forces against its inhabitants. At a place known as either A maaq or Daabiq, somewhere near Allepo Syria, 960,000 Roman forces would be assembled under 80 banners representing 80 nations, quite clearly to annihilate the Muslims. At this time, the Muslims will be gathering their armed forces in Iraq, Syria and Yemen, forming a huge battalion. Imam Mahdi will send this battalion of mujahideen (Muslim fighters), from among the best people on earth, to engage them. The Romans and the Muslims will be gathering their forces for nine months. When the two groups encounter each other face to face, the Romans will request that the Muslims hand over to them those who had fought and captured their Roman brethren. The Muslims will refuse, saying: “By Allah, We will never hand over our Muslim brothers” thus triggering off a fierce battle, which is the beginning of the Great war (i.e. Armageddon). A third of the Muslim army will flee, and Allah will never ever grant them towba (repentance). A third will be slain, and they will be the noblest martyrs in The Sight of Allah. The surviving third will be victorious, never to suffer defeat thereafter. This battle will last four days. Each day the Muslim troops will resolve on oath that they will not return but as victors. For three days, they will fail to crush the enemy, with many men becoming martyrs. On the fourth day, the Romans will falter and succumb to a tremendous onslaught from the remaining Muslim troops. The ensuing slaughter will be unprecedented in history. This decimation will utterly shatter the morale of the Romans. Thus, Imam Mahdi will smash the might of the anti-Muslim forces in that period, forces which had come together from all parts of the world. Pressing forward against the remaining Romans, the next destination will be Turkey. From the Syrian coast, Imam Mahdi will dispatch 70,000 soldiers of the Banu Is-haq tribe to re-conquer Istanbul, liberating it from Roman rule. They will cross the Mediterranean Sea, bound for Turkey and will conquer Istanbul without the use of a single weapon. Parts of the city will collapse upon the Takbeer and Tahleel of these warriors. They will recite Laa ilaha ilial-laahu wallahu Akbar and simply walk over the city. The Muazhzhins of the Muslims will then establish the five times daily azhaan throughout the city. Imam Mahdi will also arrive at Istanbul and set up the structure for his rule, appoint people to govern there and most importantly, make arrangements for the implementation of Islamic law. This conquest will deliver untold fortunes into the hands of the Muslims. As he and his men busy themselves capturing and rounding up these vast riches a rumor will spread that the Dajjal has broken loose in Syria and is wreaking havoc among your families.” This news will be very disturbing to the Imam, and so consequently, he will hurriedly leave for Syria. In the meantime, ten men will be sent ahead to ascertain the truth. About these ten The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “ I know their names and the names of their fathers they will be among the best warriors in that era.” Prophet e Kareem (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) even knew the color of their horses. One of them will report that the whole story is false. Dajjaal has not yet emerged. This was a lie fabricated by Shaitaan to try and disrupt the progress of the Muslims. Imam Mahdi will resume his return journey to Syria with greater ease and comfort once he learns that the Dajjaal is not yet loose. He will stop over in all the towns and cities along the route to survey the situation and make necessary arrangements for government. Meanwhile the conquerors of Istanbul will march on and invade the enemy territories of Western Europe (Greece, Italy, etc.) in the same manner, with the Takbeer and Kalimah, and eventually conquering Rome in the process. In the seventh year after Imam Mahdi reaches Damascus the great imposter, Dajjaal will now truly emerge and begin his campaign of mischief and corruption between Syria and Iraq. He will remain to do his bidding for forty days, one day like a year, one like a month, one like a week, and the rest like regular days, so these days will in fact cover the length of 428 days. Dajjaal will have a large following of mainly Jews from unknown (-meaning many directions), Bedouins, and illegitimate people (those born outside of marriage), the Muslims under Imam Mahdi will be trapped within Damascus, surrounded by the forces of the Dajjaal. On the 40th day of the Dajjaals reign, Imam Mahdi and his companions will be busy arranging the formation for prayer during the time of Fajr. The jamaat salaah will be almost about to start when suddenly the Messiah Eessa (Alayhis salaam) son of Maryam will descend from the heavens, dressed in two yellow garments, leaning on the shoulders of two angels and join the ranks of Muslims for salaah. Imam Mahdi will lead the Fajr salaah. He will go out, slaying the followers of the Dajjal, and then chases the Dajjal until he catches up with him at the Gate of Uhud and slays him. After the slaying of Dajjaal by Prophet Eessa, Imam Mahdi will not live for very long. A few months will elapse and this great Imam, a man who provided the perfect sequel to Allahs Supreme Religion -ISLAM, will pass on to the realms of the hereafter. Prophet Jesus (Aleyhi Salaam) and Muslims will perform prayers ( Salaah) on his Janaaza and bury him, then Messiah son of Maryam (As) will become new ruler of the Muslims, and the Caliphate will be taken away from the Quraysh.
