Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming
As the above hadith states, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will appear at
the beginning of the century. This aside, giving the date 1400, our
Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) made the date of
this event clear. One of these hadiths is as follows:
People will gather around the Mahdi in 1400. (Risalat al-
Khuruj al-Mahdi, p. 108)
In another hadith, the Prophet (may God bless him and grant
him peace) said:
Count two or three decades after the decades of Hijri 1400. At
that time, the Mahdi emerges… (Asmal Masalik Lieyyam
Mahdiyy Maliki Li Kull-id Dunya Biemrillah-il Malik, Qalda
bin Zayd, p. 216)
As seen earlier, our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him
peace) has provided a lot information about the signs of the End
Times, especially aboutwhat will happen before the Mahdi and
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) come. The related hadiths transmitted from
Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Umar ibn al-Khattab, and Hudhayfa,
Ibn Ahmad Hanbal, and Muslim Abu Zayd ibn Amr ibn Ahtab al-
Ansari are as follows:
"The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace)… in-
formed us about the events that will happen from then on, and
he taught them to us and made us memorize them."(Sahih
Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)
On this subject, Hudhayfa ibn al-Yaman said the
following:
Hudhayfa reported: The
