Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming

In the month of Dhu al-Qa`dah, the tribes will wage war, pil-
grims will be kidnapped, and there will be bloody wars. (Al-
Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir
az-Zaman, p. 34)
There come the cries of war in [the month of] Shawwal with the
outbreak of war, massacre, and carnage in [the month of] Dhu
al-Hijja. The pilgrims are plundered in this month, the streets
cannot be crossed because of the blood shed, and religious prohi-
bitions are violated. Big sins are committed near the
Magnificent House [the Ka`bah]. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-
Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 37)
Examining the expressions in the hadiths indicates important
events regarding the same period:
Big sins are committed near the Magnificent House [the
Ka`bah].
This hadith draws attention to the incidents that will occur near
the Ka`bah. The incidents during 1407 actually took place near the
Ka`bah, and not inside it, unlike the event of 1400. Both incidents hap-
pened just as the hadiths indicated that they would.
It is not a mere coincidence that two such major events as blood-
shed in the Ka`bah and the killing of pilgrims, as reported in the ha-
diths, should take place one after the other in the period when all
portents regarding the Mahdi are coming true.

... [There will be] outbreak of war, massacre and carnage
in [the month of] Dhu al-Hijja.
The fact that this war and conflict is discussed together with the
killing of pilgrims shows that these events will take place in the same
period of time. During that same period, the Iran-Iraq war broke out
and the world saw the worst fighting and chaos in the Middle East.
