20. The Fourth Peace and Arab-Israel
Peace Agreement
Abu Na`im narrated from Abu Umama': "Our
Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace)
said: There will be four [periods of] peace with you
and people [in one copy, this is said to be the
Greeks]. The fourth peace, which lasts for seven
years, will be through a person from the people of
Heraclius. They said: "O Prophet, who will be the
imam [leader] of the people on that day?" He (may
God bless him and grant him peace) said: "The
Mahdi, a man aged forty from my lineage." (Osman
Catakli, Kiyamet Alametleri [Signs of the
Doomsday], 299/8)
This hadith mentions one of the signs of the Mahdi who
will ally with Prophet Jesus (pbuh) during his tenure on Earth.
According to this sign, a fourth peace agreement will be signed
between the Muslims and the non-Muslims, and this agree-
ment will last for seven years. At the end of this period, the
Mahdi will appear. According to the general conviction, this
"fourth peace-agreement" is the Camp David agreement
signed by the U.S., Israel, and Egypt in 1979. (God
knows best.)
