THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
The abjad calculation of the clause "A group from my community..."
which is 1542 [2117] implies its [the community's] time of sur-
vival. The abjad calculation of the clause "will remain in

truth" (when the germination mark is counted) gives 1506
[2082]; it indicates until that date [2082] it will continue its work of
enlightenment evidently and obviously, and maybe victorious-
ly; then until 1542 [2117] in secrecy and defeat. The abjad calcula-
tion of the clause "until Allah's command" (when the gemina-

of the world will not last until the Islamic 1600, in other words,
that the Last Day is expected to come in Islamic 1500s by Allah's

of the Doomsday, p. 299)

Suyuti's statement made on the basis of the hadith handed
down from our Prophet (saas) is as follows:
THE LIFE OF MY COMMUNITY WILL NOT EXCEED 1,500
YEARS. (Suyuti, al-Kasfu an Mujawazati Hazihil Ummah al-Alfu,
al-hawi lil Fatawi. 2/248, Tafsir Ruh-ul Bayan. Bursawi 4/262,
Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Kitab al-‘Ilal, p. 89)

As is clear from the hadith of the Prophet (saas) and state-
ments by great Islamic scholars, the Islamic 1400s we are now
living in is the age of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). The
Prophet Jesus (as) will return to Earth in this century, Hazrat
