Page 35 - Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a Descendant of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh)

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

In addition, an examination of the Torah and other Judaic scriptures
shows that the individual described as the Messiah possesses the charac-
teristics of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), and that their activities and changes
these two will bring about in the world are exactly the same. For that rea-
son, the Messiah awaited by the Jews is actually Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
In the hadiths of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace), Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) resemblance to the People of Israel, the de-
scendants of the Prophets, is highly significant. Some of the hadiths on
this subject read as follows:

Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) stature and posture resemble those of the
People of Israel. (Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar Fi alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntad-
har, pp. 36-29.)
His [Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh)] body is an Israelite one. (Al-Burhan fi
Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-zaman, p. 24.)
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is like one of the People of Israel. (His demeanor
resembles theirs, it is majestic and wise.) (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi
Akhir al-zaman, pp. 23-30.)
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) has an Israelite body. He resembles one of the
greatest of the People of Israel. (Ibn Hajar al-Makki)
His [Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh)] body is like that one of an Israelite.
(Mar'i ibn Yusuf al-Maqdisi, Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi
al-Muntadhar)
He [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] will resemble one of the Israelites [in his
external appearance]. (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib fi Bayan Anna'l
Mahdi min Awladi Ali b. Abu Talib Ale't-Tamam ve'l Qamal)

It is as if he [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] is a man from the people of Is-
rael. (Nuaym ibn Hammad, vr. 52a; Mar'i ibn Yusuf al-Maqdisi, Fera Idu
Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar)
Allah reveals in the Qur'an that He has chosen and sanctified the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and his line (Surat al-Baqara, 130, Surah Al 'Im-
ran, 33). The same information also appears in the Torah (Genesis, 22:17,
12:2).
