Second Coming

16. The Killing of Abdullah, the Former King

of Jordan

Another portent of the Mahdi's
coming is the killing of a senior
member of the Hashemites.

(Risalat al-Khuruj al-Mahdi,
p. 12)

Jordan, known as the Hashemite kingdom, was detached from the
Ottoman Empire and came under British control for a period of time. Great
Britain recognized Jordanian independence in 1946, as part of the Treaty of
London. The monarchy was given to Abdullah, head of the principality of
Jordan. King Abdullah was later killed by the British in 1951. Thus the inci-
dent indicated in the hadith came to pass.
Jordan's King Abdullah was as-
sasinated in 1951 while praying
in al-Aqsa Mosque.
