50. The Killing of the Innocent

The Mahdi will not emerge until
innocent people are massacred,
and he will appear when those on
Earth and up in the sky can no
longer put up with such massacres
... (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-
Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-
Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 37)

The Mahdi will not appear until seven out of nine [people] are
killed. The killing of the innocent will be among them. (Al-
Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-
Zaman, p. 35)
The Mahdi will not emerge until innocent people are killed.
When those who are without sin are killed, the people of Earth
and sky [will] detest the killers. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-
Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 35)
While the hadiths about the Mahdi’s emergence mention such
massacres as commonplace, they also emphasize that such massacres
will target innocent people. As we discussed earlier, almost all of the
wars today target civilians. So, civilians and such innocent people as

children, the elderly, and women are slaughtered. Targeting these de-
fenseless people in particular has resulted in more comprehensive
massacres, while the number of people dying as a result continues to
climb.
