Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming
Saul hold very important signs for the End Times. That our Prophet
(may God bless him and grant him peace) related his hadiths about
the End Times and the Mahdi, especially by relating them to the sto-
ries of the Qur'an, is a strong evidence for this subject. Our Prophet
(may God bless him and grant him peace) said:
"The Companions of the Cave will be the Mahdi's helpers." (Al-
Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-
Zaman, p. 59)
"The number of the Mahdi's helpers will be as many as the num-
ber of those who crossed the river with Saul." (Al-Muttaqi al-
Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 57)
When examined from this perspective, we find many verses in-
dicating a period when Islam's morality will pervade worldwide.
(For further information on this subject, please refer to Harun Yahya,
The End Times and the Mahdi, Khatoons, 2003) Apart from the signs re-
lated in the verses, there are also signs related to their dates.
These dates are determined by various calculation methods, the
foremost of which is the numeration of verses by alphabetical Arabic
letters (abjad). This method is very ancient and predates the Qur'anic
revelation. Since ancient times, all events have been recorded in let-
ters with numerical values. These dates are the sum of each letter em-
ployed while recording that event.
Some Islamic scholars of the past estimated the date of many fu-
ture events through this method. Today, when looking at some
Qur'anic verses, we see that the meaning conveyed match with cer-
tain dates. When we see that those events actually occurred on the
calculated dates, we understand that the verses in question may con-
ceal a hidden meaning about that event. (God knows best.)
