                   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.)
