Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in the Qur’an, the Torah,
the Psalms and the Gospel

The books of the Prophets reveal that, "The work of
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is not cruel and evil." (Ibn Hajar
al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-
Muntadhar, p. 49.)

Ibn al-Munawisays: "Thus it is written in the book of
Daniel (pbuh)... Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear, and
Almighty Allah will save those previously subject to per-
secution and believers. The sunnahs will be revived with
him..." (This hadith is to be found in a hand written copy of
Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir
az-Zaman in the Suleymaniye Library.)
It can be seen from these hadiths that the way of the
Mahdi appears in the Holy Scriptures of all divine faiths and
that Muslims will find Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) when they look
in these books.
The coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is similarly foretold
in those true parts of the Gospel that are compatible with the
Qur'an. References such as "Paraclete" and "water pitcher" are
noteworthy. These refer to a leader the glad tidings of whose
coming in the End Times is given by the Prophet Jesus (pbuh),
who will bring peace, security, unity and union to the world,
and who is born under the sign of Aquarius (Allah knows the
truth). (It is also highly significant that 2012 is regarded as the
start of the Age of Aquarius.) The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) ad-
vises his disciples to join this trustworthy individual, who will
come after him, to heed his words and to follow him to the
end.
In addition, the signs of the End Times set out in the
Gospel and the descriptions of the period following the com-
ing of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) are
also in close agreement with verses of the Qur'an and hadiths
