tichrist and messiah antichrist will appear as individuals,

appear as blessed individuals in the End Times.

Qur'an and its being followed. 134
Our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him

peace) reveals in one hadith how the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
will pray behind Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh):
When Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is performing the morning
prayer with the faithful at the Bayt al-Maqdis, he will in-
troduce Jesus (pbuh) who has appeared, and Jesus (pbuh)

Bediuzzaman cites this hadith of our Prophet's (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace) and recalls how this

Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
Bediuzzaman also states that, by Allah's leave, Islamic
morality will rule the whole world in the time of the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). The great
intellectual struggle to be waged by the Prophet Jesus

(pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in alliance will be instru-
mental in this, he says.
