                     The great Sunni scholar al-Barzanji states that the life span of
                 the world will not last until the Islamic 1600, in other words, that
                 the Last Day is expected to come in Islamic 1500s by Allah's
                 leave. (Allah knows the truth.)

                     THE LIFE OF THIS COMMUNITY WILL EXCEED 1,000
                     YEARS, YET BE LIMITED TO 1,500 YEARS ... (Muhammad
                     ibn 'Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat as-Sa'ah, The
                     Portents of the Last Day, p. 299)

                     Suyuti's statement made on the basis of the hadith handed
                 down from our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)

                 is as follows:
                     "THE LIFE OF MY COMMUNITY WILL NOT EXCEED 1,500
                     YEARS. (Suyuti, al-Kasfu an Mujawazati Hazihil Ummah al-

                        4/262, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Kitab al-'Ilal, p. 89)
                               As is clear from the hadith of the Prophet
                          (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
                          and statements by great Islamic scholars, the
                          Islamic 1400s we are now living in is the
                          age of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
                          The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will return to earth in
                         this century, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear
                          and the moral values of Islam will rule the
                            world.
