HARUN YAHYA - ADNAN OKTAR

This had ith states that the Mahdi will be "broad ened
by being beat en on his back and stom ach." In ref er -
ence to this, the author of Mahdism and Imam Mahdi
says: "The Mahdi's fame is con stant ly announced and
spread." Yet since it is the Dajjal's sup port ers who will
do this, we may say that the prop a gan da will be intend -
ed to tar nish the Mahdi's rep u ta tion. The ene mies of
Islam at the time of our Prophet (saas) used poets, the
pub lish ing organs of the peri od, to den i grate him. These
poets behaved arro gant ly toward him at fairs and mar -
kets, accus ing him of mad ness and sor cery. In the end
times, too, the Dajjal's sup port ers will defame the Mahdi
and seek to dam age his rep u ta tion in the pub lic eye.
The had iths describe how the Mahdi's early years
will be full of strug gles, troub les, and dif fi cul ties. The
"Golden Age" belongs to his final years, for only then
will the Mahdi and Muslims achieve com fort, secu ri ty,
and plen ty and lead lives based on love, peace, and
unity.

THE MAHDI WILL HAVE FEW BROTHERS
"He will have few broth ers …"
