                    The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi
                           (pbuh) Will Come in this Century
                         Works by great and esteemed scholars of Ahl al-Sun-
                    nah, including Sunan Abu-Dawud and Maktubat of Imam
                    Rabbani, explicitly state that Allah sends an individual
                    every century in order to revive and rid religious morals of
                    any innovations:
                         According to Abu Huraira's account, the Messenger of
                         Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)  said:
                         Certainly Almighty and All-Powerful Allah will send an
                         individual at the beginning of every century who will
                         renew the faith and free it from subsequent accretions. 1
                         One hadith handed down from our Prophet (may
                    Allah bless him and grant him peace) states that Hazrat
                    Mahdi (pbuh) will appear in the Islamic year 1400 in the

                    words:
                         People will gather around Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in the
                         year 1400. 2
                         The religious moral values of Islam will rule the whole
                    world, as the result of a specific process, in this century,
                    while the system of the dajjal (the antichrist) that opposes
                    those values will entirely disappear. But following this pe-
                    riod of progression, that will last for approximately 100
                    years, the world will again find itself in a phase of degener-

                    ation, around the 1500s according to the Islamic calendar. In
                    one hadith narrated by many scholars, including Imam
                    Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, a great Ahl al-Sunnah hadith and Is-
