Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a Descendant of the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh)

of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), and this holy personage's characteristics, physi-
cal appearance, and moral and intellectual superiority, his intellectual
struggle, and the period of peace and security he will usher in. [For de-
tailed information, see The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)
will Come in This Century, Portents and Features of the Mahdi's (pbuh) Com-

ing, The End of Times and the Mahdi (pbuh), The Golden Age by Harun
Yahya.] For that reason, this book deals only with certain specific portents
out of the hundreds of hadiths which reveal that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)
has already appeared or else is about to do so.
Some of the had iths of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace) con cern ing the End Times and re lat ed by great Islamic schol -
ars are list ed be low:

1. Successive fulfilment of portents of Hazrat Mahdi's
(pbuh) appearance:

... These [the portents of the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] will
follow upon one another like the beads of a rosary. (Ali ibn Husamaddin
al-Muttaki, Hadiths from Jalaluddin al-Suyuti's Classification: Signs of
the Mahdi of the End Times, Kahraman Publications, p. 34.)

The signs of the Last Day will fol low one an oth er. Like beads strung
out one be hind the oth er. (Ramuz al-Ahadith, 277/6; Al-Jami' al-Sa-
gir, 3/167.)

The por tents of the End Times re vealed in the had iths are far too
clear and de fin i tive to leave any room for doubt. The most im por tant
point, how e ver, is that they have tak en place and are still oc cur ring, in
our own day and age. Some of these signs, of course, might have been ob -
served at any time dur ing Islam's 1,400-year his to ry, any where in the
world and in a spe cif ic en vi ron ment. But that does not mean that those
were the End Times, be cause in or der for an age to qual i fy as the End
Times re vealed by Allah, all the por tents—which we shall de scribe in
some de tail—must oc cur at the same time, one aft er the oth er.
