    WHEN IS THE MESSIAH COMING?(Revised 2006)

    INTRODUCTION

    In the last few years, Dr. Shabbir Ahmed has emerged as one of the foremost Islamicscholars in the world. He is also considered by many as the best contemporary writerof Urdu. I, and many others, regard Dr. Ahmed as the most eloquent spokesperson ofAllama Iqbal as well. Read any of Dr. Ahmed's books and you will probably agree withthese statements.

    A man of true knowledge, Dr. Shabbir Ahmed writes with confidence, honesty,boldness, clarity, and humor. His grasp of the subject under discussion is awesomeand the documentation is superb. Once you start reading his book it is difficult to putdown because it is so interesting and when you finish, it is difficult to disagreebecause he is so convincing.

    The advent of the Messiah (and Mahdi), and the appearance of the Antichrist (Dajjal)and Gog Magog (Yajooj Majooj), have captured the imagination of billions of peoplefor centuries. Almost every nation and every religion has looked forward to welcomingthe SAVIOR. People have their own versions of the catastrophic events of the"Armageddon". It is easy to understand that any nation in her period of decline will bemore prone to believe in a "promised one" and anxiously await his advent. Muslimstoday are showing the best example of this phenomenon.

    In this booklet Dr. Ahmed has collected some of the most important traditions andmade objective observations about them.

    This work highlights the fabricated accounts introduced into the Islamic history andhelps readers discern the truth.

    FOREWORD

    Why was it necessary to write this booklet? It will obviously be controversial.

    I believe that the advent of the last savior or reformer is already a very debatable issueamong people and nations.

    O.K., why not leave it as such? If no one ever comes, let people wait, wait, wait and

    pass on. Fine and dandy!

    But there are two problems:

    1. It is an insult for scholarship to learn the truth and not share it with fellow humanbeings.

    2. The West is faring well globally despite their belief in the second coming of Jesus.On the contrary, the Muslims have fallen into the cold, valley of inaction andconfusion. Why should they worry? Someone will come and improve their lot.

    In general, the orthodox Jews are waiting for the Messiah in person. Other Jews arelooking for the Messianic Age where Judaism will thrive more and more.

    Many Christians are anticipating the action of Armageddon, the final war between therulers of the world. The good will have its final victory over the evil. Armageddon is infact a place in central Palestine where several battles were fought in the ancienthistory. Likewise, the Hindu scriptures speak of the 24th and the last divine person"Kalki Awtaar" in the latter days. Buddhists are hoping for Maitreya, Jains for TriThanker and Zoroastrains for Meeta or Mithra. All of them are supposed to bringglory to their respective followers.

    The Final Word of God, Al-Quran makes no mention of an oncoming savior orreformer. The last Savior, Muhammad, has come and gone in 632 CE after givinghumanity the Complete, Perfected Message of God. This Message, Al-Quran is for allpeoples at all times. However, the Muslim traditional literature is loaded with reportsabout two reformers to come, not just one. According to these traditions the Messiahand the Mahdi will help each other in getting rid of all evil. They will kill the "Antichrist"and wipe out "Gog and Magog".

    This booklet intends to present some of the important historical traditions. The positionof the Qur'an will be outlined along with comments by the author. It is hoped that theintelligent reader, using discernment, will reach the right conclusions.

    Note: Prophet (S) in this booklet will indicate, Prophet (our salutes to him).

    Respectfully,

    WHO AND WHEN?

    The weekly "Urdu Times," New York, dated Oct 6th, 1999 has published a detailedinterview of Dr. Israr Ahmed. The respected doctor is a sincere and renowned scholarof Islam. Wisely enough, he does not prefix his name with "Maulana". He knows that,according to the Qur'an, "Maulana" (Our Master) is none but Allah (9/51).

    More than three decades ago, the Daily Jang, Karachi prominently published that Dr.Israr Ahmed was planning to quit Jamaat-e-Islami. The chief of Jamaat-e-Islami thenwas no other than the most influential Mullah of the 20th century, Maulana Syed AbulA'Ala Maudoodi. Dr. Israr Ahmed and other like-minded people maintained that Al-A'ALA is the attributive Name of God, meaning the Most Glorious, the Most High. Abumeans father. Therefore, Abul A'Ala would mean, "Father of the Most Glorious, MostHigh, and hence, FATHER OF GOD. The complete name with title, Maulana SyedAbul A'Ala Maudoodi translates "Our Master, Owner, Father of God, Maudoodi". (Syedmeans Owner)

    Instead of acknowledging the truth, Mr. Maudoodi became furious and preemptivelyfired Dr. Israr from the Jamaat. In turn, Maudoodi came under fire that he had been adire opponent of the Pakistan Movement. Another issue became a subject of hotdebate in the journalism circles of Pakistan. Allama Iqbal, the ideological founder ofPakistan, was a great benefactor of Maudoodi since he brought the jobless Maudoodifrom Deccan to Pathankot for doing some Qur'anic research. But, the Daily Jangexclaimed that, for some ulterior reasons, Maudoodi carefully avoided citing Iqbalspoetry in his writings.

    No doubt, Allama Iqbal enjoys such a high stature in Urdu and Persian literature thatany scholar writing in these two languages without referring to the Allama will reflect

    his own ignorance and incompetence.

    In an interview with Urdu Times, answering a question, Dr. Israr said, "TableeghiJamaat accomplished nothing in 70 years and Jamaate-Islami did nothing significantin 60 years. Why wonder that I and my Tanzeem-e-Islami have created no dent in 40years? Dr. Israr Ahmeds logic can, at best, be called an apology.

    Dr. Israr does have his fair share of fans. Shabbir Ahmed is one of them. But theanswer to the Urdu Times' journalist is something else though hidden from the truth-seeking eyes of the Doctor Saheb. When a vehicle gets stuck in sand so that itswheels keep spinning but the vehicle stays put, the situation is called Taghreez in

    Arabic. The truth of the matter is that whether it is Tableeghi Jamaat or Jamaat-e-Islami or any other Islamic movement in the world, their engines are screaming whilethe vehicles remain stuck in the sand of conjecture-based tradition. "Movements" thatdo not move! Allama Iqbal very aptly identifies the situation for us:

    The Truth is lost in non-senseThis Ummah is lost in legend

    Look at the magic of these legends and traditions. A Mullah of the caliber of Dr. IsrarAhmed states in his interview that "Imam Mahdi" has been born in Arabia in 1962. Theauthority he has referred to about his startling revelation is the late Jane Dixon of theU.S. Jane Dixon, the self-proclaimed diviner who gained fame for "foreseeing" theassassination of J.F.K. (but could not predict her own demise!)

    How numerous a vessel have drownedWhen the thoughts of the jurist, the

    Mystic and the poet have downed!

    Many of my respected readers have been calling me regarding this interview partlybecause they do not have Dr. Israr Ahmed's phone number. Several of them haveasked me to write on the Advent of the Messiah & Mahdi and comment on Dr. Israr'smysterious statements. (The correct spelling of Doctor Saheb's name is Asrar which initself means "mysteries").

    BELIEF IN THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS AND A REFORMER, MAHDIFirst of all it is important to note that, for a Muslim, this belief is not one of the essential

    Articles of Faith which are outlined in the Qur'an. (2/177)

    Next, it is imperative to realize that Muslims in general are a nation of experts. Everymember of the Ummah happens to be a politician, a philosopher, a religious leader, ascholar, a judge and a Mufti(verdict dispenser). Being a member of the Community, Iam no exception. So, I wish to share my expertise on the subject with the open-minded reader.

    In my "expert" opinion, blind following of tradition and of people is no better than idolworship. This statement in itself is sufficient to draw an adverse verdict from ourexperts, but I have crossed the boundary lines quite a few times without any luck.

    "Imam" Ghazali advised centuries ago, "Do not consider yourself a significant personunless you have been honored by a verdict of infidelity!"

    Before we get the ball rolling, there is a RED ALERT. If you are in love with yourpresent dogmas, if the darkness of conjecture is dearer to you than the light of truth, ifyou feel safe in the cocoon of preconceived notions, and rethinking is likely to disruptthis cocoon, please stop here. Read something else. Watch TV. Eat a hamburger orgo out for a walk. On the other hand, if you wish to let the stark reality gaze at you,please read on, think, and reach your own conclusions.

    A large majority of Muslims will tell you that the advent of the Messiah and Mahdi has

    been foretold in the Islamic tradition. But most people have never read thesenarratives. They have only heard them from the Mullah screaming in his usual high-pitched, topless stop-less voice. Only a senseless mind can ascribe these insults tothe exalted Prophet. Anyone with reason who reads these accounts in the so-calledIslamic books, will get amazed (or amused) at these contradictory, and ridiculouslyfunny insults. A mind without reason and committed to blind following will, of coursetake it with a grain of salt. Now, here are some examples:

    SOME PASSAGES FROM BOOKS ON HISTORY AND TRADITION

    The Prophet (S) said that there shall be raised a person from me. His name will beMuhammad, the son of Abdullah and he will fill the earth with equity and justice.(Kitabul Mahdi, Abu Dawood volume III)

    That person's name will be Mahdi (not Muhammad, the son of Abdullah). (Refsame)

    Hazrat Ali quoted the Prophet, "A person will emerge from Maawara-tan-Nahr. Hisname will be Haarith (neither Muhammad nor Mahdi). A man by the name ofMansoor will walk ahead of him and he will bestow rule to the family of theProphet." (Ref same)

    The holy Prophet gave the glad tiding of Mahdi that he would come in times ofchaos and instantly spread equity and justice on earth. He will stay seven, eight ornine years and then no goodness will survive on the planet. (Musnad-e-Ahmad)

    [How tragic! The last reformer of the world comes after centuries of expectationand waiting. His monumental efforts bring about a few years of peace and that heraldsthe instant doom!]

    Imam Mahdi bin Hassan Askari was born in 254 or 255 AH (872 or 873 CE). Hedisappeared at age four or five just 10 days before the death of his father. Then hehid himself in the Cave of Saamera near Baghdad. He took with him the wholeQur'an which had forty parts not thirty and 17,000 verses not 6,200 plus. The childMahdi took with him (nobody knows how) the ancient books of all prophets, thescrolls of Ali, the scrolls of Fatima, the knowledge of Jafr, miracles of all theprophets: The staff of Moses, the shirt of Adam, and the ring of Solomon.

    Imam Mahdi will come out of the Cave before the Dooms Day. He will exhume AbuBakr and Umar from their graves and bring them to life. In one day and night he willkill them one thousand times and revive them one thousand times.Other traditions include Hazrat Uthman among the victims. He will also revive theMother of believers, Ayesha and flog her one hundred times for committing adultery.He will dispense the same prescription to Maria Qibtiah, the concubine Umm Walad ofRasool.(Hablillah vol 6 page 32, Alkafi, Muhaddith Al-Jazaaeri)

    [Maria, the Coptic being a concubine of the exalted Prophet is a shameless forgery byour Magian historians since the Prophet (S) had abolished slavery once and for all.

    Umm Walad is the term applied to a concubine who has born a son to her master]

    Muhammad, the holy Prophet will be the first one to take the oath of allegiance(Bayat) at the hand of Imam Mahdi. (Basair Darajat pg 213)

    Mahdi will bring people to life and send them to Paradise and Hell (Miratul Anwarpg 68)

    TAFHEEM-UL-QUR'AN (by Maudoodi)

    (In Damascus) Muslims will be lining up for prayers. Takbeer, Aqamat would havebeen uttered as Jesus the son of Mary will suddenly descend (from thin air) and hewill lead the prayers for Muslims. (Ref: Mishkat & Muslim)

    Jesus, the son of Mary will descend. The leader of Muslims (Imam Mahdi) will ask

    him to lead prayers but Jesus will say, "No, you are leaders unto each other." (Ref:Muslim and Musnad-e- Ahmed)

    The Imam of Muslims will turn back so that Jesus may advance but Jesus will say,"No, you lead the prayers." So the Imam will lead the prayers. (Incidentally,Mullahs world-wide seem to have a burning desire to lead prayers whenever andwherever possible, not realizing its significance.)

    However, these three Ahadith do not clarify as to who will actually lead the prayers.Jesus, Mahdi or some ordinary Muslim!

    After ending the prayers with Salam right and left, Jesus will command that thedoor of the Masjid be opened. Outside, Dajjal the Antichrist will be present with70,000 armed Jews. As soon as Jesus looks at him, the Antichrist will startdissolving like salt dissolves in water and he will quicken to flee. Jesus will runafter him. (After approx. 30 miles of dash and marathon while the 70,000 watch thegreatest foot race ever) Jesus will get the Antichrist at the eastern gate of Lydda(near Tel-Aviv). And ALLAH WILL DEFEAT THE JEWS (Tafheem-ul-Quran pg160). (Please note that Allah will defeat the Jews).

    If Jesus left the Dajjal alone the latter will die himself dissolving and melting. ButAllah will get him killed at the hands of Jesus. And Jesus will show his blood on his

    spear to Muslims (show his blood to get some lollipops!)

    After finishing the prayers Jesus will walk toward the Antichrist with his spear inhand. As soon as the Dajjal sees Jesus, the former will start melting like themelting of lead (not like salt dissolving in water). Jesus will kill him with his spear(no marathon this time). (Tafheem-ul-Quran v.IV pg161)

    Jesus, the son of Marry will descend in the eastern part of Damascus near thewhite minaret - (The white minaret probably helping the landing). He will bedressed in two yellow shawls and will come down with his hands placed on thearms of two angels. His breath will reach as far as his eyesight and all infidels in

    the range of his eyesight will succumb instantly. (Pg158)

    THE WESTERN SARCASM

    The orientalist Dorcey Williams writes:

    "The Messiah of Muslims will descend from the heavens holding on to the wingsof two angels. He will start breathing fire like a dragon. He will be attired in twopieces of yellow cloth like a sick weakling. The moment he touches the ground,(in times of rockets, missiles and laser) he would hold his spear and race after the

    Antichrist for thirty miles. The rest of the world would be watching the dramaprobably on CNN. At the gate of Lydda the Antichrist will say: Brother Jesus! I amtired. I have had it. Please, for God's sake, kill me.

    Muslim, Tirmizi, Abu Daud and Ibne Majah report in this Hadith that Jesus, the son ofMarry will not concern himself with following or leading prayers. While the same booksand others also narrate that first of all he will follow or lead prayers. I will urge Jesusnot to pull his spear and have some mercy. Let the dissolving, melting Dajjal Antichristvanish in peace.

    Williams further comments: The Muslims keep living under the wishful thinking that the

    Dajjal (Antichrist) will have only 70,000 soldiers in his legion holding only swords intheir hands. While Imam Mahdi will be an amused spectator, Jesus the son of Marywill step forward and solve all their problems and get rid of all non-Muslims. (TheReturn of Jesus ppg 271-273)

    Note: Some people believe that during those times all technology might vanish,therefore an "Armageddon" of sword and spear is quite possible. But, the sametraditions insist that this high drama will take place with science at its fullest glory.

    MORE (FABRICATED) AHADITH

    Not one of the followers of Dajjal will survive the spear of Jesus. (Tafheem vol 4pg 158) [But, a short while ago all non-believers, infidels had been killed byJesus's breath!]

    [What will the Muslims do when the Messiah's breath kills all infidels in the range ofhis sight? Probably clap their hands] Allah (not Messiah) will defeat the Jews. (ref.Tafheem vol. IV pg 168)

    Muslims will prevail and break the cross, kill the swine and revoke jizyah tax.(pg162)

    (Sorry, Muslims will not do that) The son of Mary will break the cross and kill theswine. (pg 155)

    Allah (not Jesus) will kill the Dajjal near the incline of Afeeq. (pg 162)

    (Sorry again, it won't be Allah, rather) the son of Mary will kill the Dajjal at the gateof Lydda (please forgive and forget Afeeq.) (pg. 160)

    The "Kalki Awtaar" will revive Hinduism to total victory over the rest of the world. TheTri-Thanker of Jainism will unify all human beings on earth into his religion. Then allpeople will become Bugs Bunnies eating plants only. It is amazing to note that evensome ancient tribes of Africa and the Americas charm themselves with this "redeemer"concept.

    Let's conceive for a moment that dozens of promised ones have appeared in the worldfor a final round trying to prevail over one another. Violence, wars, massive blood

    shed and total chaos ensue as far as our imagination can take us.

    MIRZA GHULAM AHMED(1835? to 1908)

    The most interesting claim was made by Mirza Ghulam Ahmed of Qadian, India in1888 CE that he was the Mahdi and the Messiah (two in one).

    Step One: First he relates that God made him Mary. Then God exercised his powerof manhood (i.e. performed sex on Mary Mirza). Mirza as Mary became pregnant.Then Jesus was born. Mary disappeared and now Mirza Ghulam Ahmed is Jesus, theson of Mary. (Ref: Islamic Sacrifie by Qazi Yar Mohammad Qadiyani). Read and enjoyagain before going to the next step: How Mirza became Mahdi!

    Mirza Ghulam writes in his book Shahadat-ul-Qur'an pg 61-Step Two: It is written inthe Bukhari (collection of Ahadith) that a voice will announce from the heavens,This Mirza is Mahdi, the Caliph of Allah."Tragic for Mirza, there is no such thing remotely mentioned in Bukhari. And Mirza wasthe sole figure to be blessed with that voice!

    Mirza Ji went onto claim that he was all in one, the holy Prophet, Mahdi, Jesus,

    Krishna plus the promised one of all religions.

    Countless people have claimed to be the promised one, the Mahdi or the Messiah inthe last many centuries. It is a strange paradox that people keep waiting and waitingintently for someone to come. But as soon as some priest, monk, mullah, sufi, yogi,mystic, makes the claim, they raise furor against him. They even attempt to kill him!

    THE PROBLEM

    The real problem with the dogma of a promised one is that it serves as opium for themasses. It snatches from them the will to strive and struggle. Well, someone will cometo solve their problems and raise them to glory. The situation is quite understandableas far as other religions are concerned since they do not have Al-Qur'an, the Criterionbetween the right and the wrong. But it is strange that the Muslims that regard theQur'an as their authoritative Book keep groping in the dark. We will see shortly thatthe Final Word of God very clearly rules out the coming of another promised one afterProphet Muhammad (S). We have documented that Maudoodi in his Tafheem vol 4 pg163 admits that there is no place for this utopian dogma in the Qur'an.

    SIR SYED AHMED KHAN(1817 to 189)

    Jesus was never raised to heavenThat great wizard of a genius was a commentator of the Qur'an par excellence.

    Follow his pen.

    "Our (Muslim) commentators of the Qur'an have blindly followed the Christiantraditions to forge such Ahadith. These so-called experts have assigned totallyerroneous meaning to "Rafa" or the raisingof the prophets Jesus (3:55) andEnoch (19:56). The Qur'an absolutely does not portray the raising of these prophetsbodily up into the heavens. It describes raising them in honor. The prophecies of thecoming of Mahdi and Messiah have been introduced into our history by non-Muslims.The Qur'an is absolutely free of these ridiculous statements. (Ref. Tafseer vol I part 7pg 123, vol 2 several pages)

    DR SIR ALLAMA MUHAMMAD IQBAL(1877 to 1938)

    The most outstanding scholar of the Qur'an, Sir Iqbal does not subscribe to the view ofascension of Jesus up into the heavens or to his second coming. Nor does Sir Iqbalsee Mahdi as a specific person.

    You O Preacher, have placed God on top of the heavensWhat kind of God is He that shies away from his servants!

    See another example:

    He whose self wakes up recognizing the human potentialHe is the Mahdi and the promise one of the latter times

    And another:

    Look at God appearing on the minaret of your heartAnd stop waiting for the advent of Mahdi and Jesus

    In his English writings against the Qadianis, Sir Iqbal thrashed the dogma of apromised one as a Magian and a Jewish heritage.

    Jesus was taken up to the heaven in body is absolutely non-Quranic and, therefore, ithas no merit.

    * 21:34 We have never granted everlasting life to any human before you. If you die, canthey be immortal?

    * 3:144 Remember that Muhammad is only a Messenger. The Messengers before himhave passed on. So, if he died or were slain, would you turn about on your heels?

    This verse makes clear that Jesus too has died. He has passed away and was notraised to the heavens. When Muhammad (S) died not one of his companionscomplained why he was not raised to heaven like Jesus and Enoch.

    * 5:3 This Day, I have perfected your DEEN for you, completed My favor upon you,and chosen for you Islam as the System of Life.

    * 6:115 Perfected is the Word of your Lord in Truth and Justice. None can change HisWords and His Laws. And He is the Profound Hearer, the Knower.

    Hence, no further Divine revelation, no further messenger or promised one is tocome.

    * 33:40 Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is AllahsMessenger and the Closing Seal of all Prophets. And Allah, indeed, is Knower of allthings.

    Hence, there is no room for a Divinely-guided one to come.

    * 15:9 Behold! It is We Ourselves Who have sent down this Reminder, and behold, itis We Who shall truly guard it.

    Therefore no further prophet, Mahdi or Messiah is necessary.

    * 21:7 For, before you We sent none but men to whom We granted Revelation. Hence,(tell the deniers), Ask the followers of previous Reminders if you know not. (12:109,16:43).

    * 21:8 We gave them not bodies that won't require food, nor were they immortal.

    * 5:75 The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a Messenger, like otherMessengers before him who passed on. And his mother was a woman of truth. Both ofthem were human beings who had to eat food (like all other mortals). See how clearlyWe explain Our verses for them and note how they keep wandering in thought!(Theseignorant people make human beings that eat and walk about in markets, ascend to

    heaven with their bodies!)

    * 29:51 Why! Is it not enough of a miracle for them that We have bestowed upon youthis Book that is conveyed to them? [The Quran must be Sufficient]

    * 48:23 --- And never will you find any change in Allahs Law. (Bodily ascension is nota Law of Allah. Returning from heaven to this world too, is not His law).

    * 13:11 Behold, Allah never changes a nations condition unless they change theirinner selves.

    Please stop here and think for a moment: Why would God send Mahdi and Jesus tochange the condition of a nation? Doesn't this dogma collide with a rock-solid Law ofthe Qur'an?

    With God being Omnipresent, the ascension of Jesus or any other human being, andgetting seated at His right hand makes no sense. It confines God to some corner in theheavens. It also gives Him an anthropomorphic manlike image which is obviouslyBiblical. It is certainly not Quranic.

    Jamaluddin Afghani, Mufti Muhammad Abduh, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, AllamaIqbal, Allama Muhammad Asad, Maurice Buccaille, Allama Inayatullah Mashriqi,the brilliant sons of the Ummah, and countless others believe that bodilyascension of Jesus confines God to a certain heaven while the Quranmakes it very clear that God is present every where.

    Some Quranic Voices that deny the virgin birth and ascension of Jesus.

    THE TRUMP CARD

    Dear reader! Muslims, the so called custodians of the Qur'an, are facing a strangedilemma. The Christian missionaries are asking a few simple questions to Muslims,especially the youth. A sample Q.A. session goes likes this:

    "Well, dear Muslim friend! You believe that Jesus is sitting in the company of God inthe heavens. You also believe that in the final times he will come again. Now just think

    who is more glorious? - Jesus who is living in the heaven or Muhammad who is buriedin dust?

    Is that Messiah greater who will come and bring order to the earth or that Muhammadwho will wake up when the trumpets are blowing only to find Moses alert and orientedand standing holding the thrown of God! (Moses holding the thrown is an obviousforgery by the Criminals Imams)

    The unsuspecting Muslim easily falls into this trap because the religious school andthe mullah have taught him exactly this nonsense. Hardly any Sufi or Mullah advises aMuslim to turn to the Qur'an. The Muslim does not study the Qur'an and Hadith

    himself. He only listens to the clergy. His mind has been enslaved with shacklesof stories, legends, and myths. According to Sir Iqbal, much of our Hadith and Shariahhas been plagiarized from the Israelite tradition.

    ABANDONING THE QUR'AN

    Now let the Qur'an keep screaming: O People! Listen carefully. Allahs Laws do notchange. Bodily ascension is not His Law. Allah has not given immortality to anyone.The messengers before Muhammad have all passed away. Jesus was a prophet likeother prophets who used to eat and drink. Let the Qur'an remind again and again thatAd-Deen (Religion) has been perfected. The last prophet has come and gone. TheBook of Allah has preserved all commands and laws. All the teachings necessary forthe entire mankind have been compiled in this Book. (Therefore, there is absolutelyno need for a Mahdi and Messiah to come.) Let the Qur'an declare that all prophetswere mortal human beings. Then let it affirm that the dead do not return to this world(23:100-108) and let the Qur'an scream whatever and however, the Muslim placespeacock feathers and rose petals between its sacred leaves and squeezes the bookshut in reverence with silk covers and binders then places it on the highest and theremotest place in the closet.

    RESULT: The Muslim wants to live and die believing that "Imam Mahdi" will comeout of the historically mysterious Cave near Baghdad in Saamera or Sura Man Rye.[One wonders why he did not come out during the 1990 Gulf War to date in 2006 todefend Muslims!] He will head straight for Madinah, exhume and revive Abu Bakr,Umar and Uthman (the first three rightly guided caliphs of Islam). He will then kill

    16

    them with one swipe of his sword, not once, but 1000 times in 24 hours (more that 40times an hour, about once a minute. Revive them kill them revive them kill them!)

    The historical narratives and Hadith literature is unclear whether Mahdi will still be a 5year old child, a youth, a 40 years old mature person or whether he would be 11-1200year old at the time of his peak performance!

    Anyhow the current "fake" Qur'an will be pulled by God up into the heavens, probably

    angels fishing it up with millions of fish-lines.

    IMAGINE!

    Mahdi will then bring the real Qur'an (Mashaf-e-Ali and Mashaf-e-Fatima) and unite allMuslims over them. While unity will be trying to prevail among Muslims, Gog Magogwill appear from nowhere! Their population will be so enormous and they will be sothirsty that they will drink all the oceans along with the salt and spills and pollution inno time. Sea life will start living on trees! Mahdi will be getting ready to kill thesebillions of human beasts and offer prayer in the mosque in Damascus. Right then theAntichrist will lay siege of the mosque along with his legions of 70,000 Jews. Mahdiand two billion Muslims in the world will find themselves pitifully helpless. So, Jesusthe Messiah will, without seeking permission from the Father, descend from theheaven near the white minaret of Damascus in the manner of a sick man beingsupported by two angels. Medium height, two yellow shawls, white, blonde fellow withblue eyes, curly hair as if drenched in water, a short spear in his right hand. With wartechnology at its pinnacle, a battle of spear and 70,000 swords will take place. Dajjal(the Antichrist) runs away or not - melts down or not, the Messiah will plunge his spearinto his chest. Then (most important) the Messiah will show to Muslims the Dajjal'sblood shining on his spear (probably to get a good round of applause and a lollipop).Now, suddenly the rocks and trees will start yelling, "O Muslim! O Abullah! O AbdurRahman! Here, behind me is hiding a Jew. Come, kill him. Before the eye blinks, all

    70,000 Jews will be slain! The rest of the millions will probably watch Super Bowl.

    Then Jesus breaks the Cross (which will be provided to him graciously perhaps by thePope) and kills the Swine (gifted to him probably by the Mullah-in-Chief of Damascus).Lo and behold! Two billion Christians in the world will suddenly embrace Islam.

    Here the narrators breathe a sigh of relief but only for a moment. Breaking of theCross and killing of the Swine has been interpreted by the so-called scholars withfrank apologies. For example, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian writes that breaking ofthe Cross signifies the end of Christianity. And that he has done it. On the contrary,during his life and after his demise in 1908, Christianity has beaten up the Muslims

    quite thoroughly and convincingly. A quick glance at the First World War and theglobal situation today will suffice to elaborate that point.

    Killing of the Swine is interpreted as restoration of the Law of Moses. But, didn't Jesusthis time come as a follower of Muhammad? (Our salutes to them)

    THE DROP SCENE

    Ironically, the conclusion of the thrilling story is extremely gloomy and tragic. Like thestory itself, the drop scene has been fabricated by our "able" historians, narrators andcommentators, and filled in by non-Muslim "experts". Think about it:

    The five to six billion years old planet, inhabited by Homo sapiens for a million years -Human civilization for less than ten thousand years - Numerous prophets and

    reformers, wars and battles, the pursuit of peace, rise, fall, rise and fall of nations -Political and social turmoil, ups and downs - Finally, the advent of the last messengerMuhammad (S) - Gradual evolution of the human culture - Billions of men and womenin more than fourteen centuries pass away waiting for the establishment of the DivineKingdom on earth - What was not accomplished in centuries is done with a stroke ofmagic by Mahdi and Messiah - They kill all Jews, convert all Christians and pat theback of Muslims. But, the whole scenario suddenly changes. What a lovely scenario itwas, paradise on earth! - Peace, prosperity and wellness - Tiger and lamb drinkingwater from the same fountain - No more injustice, no wrongdoing nor oppression -Men become angels and women become houries (heavenly beauties).

    But for some obscure reason, the God of our narrators hates the happy change.Sitting in the skies on His royal thrown, He summons the angel of winds, "O Angel ofwind and rain! I hate the tranquility and prosperity of the planet earth. The happinessof its inhabitants is sorrow to Me. Turn about your feet. Quick! Go back. Blow a mostnoxious wind all over the planet. But watch! Formulate this wind very cleverly. Itshould be such that my believing servants fall dead as soon as they take their firstbreath. Then I will send the angels of Doom. Well, He does. Everything falls apart.Earthquakes, cyclones, fires, and floods have their day out. Mountains blow up likecotton shreds. The sun comes down just about a spear distance from the earth. Mydear angel, I intend to bring this horrible torment upon those men and women who arethe slaves of Satan, not Mine. [Our brilliant scholars and historians keep contradicting

    themselves] The Dooms Day will befall the slaves of Satan, the infidels. But they hadwritten that His (Jesus) breath will reach as far as his eyesight and all infidels in therange of his eyesight will succumb instantly. (Tafheem by Maudoodi, vol iv Pg158)

    They had also written that all Jews of the world would perish and all Christians wouldbecome Muslim. Muslims, by the blessing of the Kalema,succumb peacefully to thespecially formulated gas, and none of them will survive to face the great calamity. Nowthey change their mind and state that Qiyamat, the Apocalypse will befall thebelievers!

    FUTURE DESIGNS

    The author will feel honored if someone reading this booklet will honor him with averdict of infidelity. However, let us not forget that the Christian missionaries would beright in thinking that Muslims implicitly believe in the divinity of Jesus. The belief in

  • 8/3/2019 Messiah When is Comeing

    18/22

    18

    Virgin Birth, physical miracles, Ascension and Return of Jesus certainly confersdivinity on him.

    Please watch the following pointed questions thrown by missionaries especially at theMuslim youth:

    Question #1: Do you believe that Jesus was born without a father? The Muslim says,"Yes".

    But the Quran says: Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can Hehave a son when He never chose for Himself a mate? ---. (6:101)

    [So, how could Mary have a son without a husband? Some readers would find thispoint shocking! But, it has been elaborated in my book, ISLAM AS I UNDERSTAND]

    Question #2: Do you believe in Jesus miracles? Didnt he raise the dead to life? Theanswer from the Muslim is again a solid "Yes!"

    According to the Quran, the Divine Laws or the physical laws in Nature never change.

    (6:34, 6:115, 10:64, 17:77, 18:27, 33:38, 33:62, 35:43, 40:85, 48:23). Physicalmiracles must defy those Laws, and therefore, they never take place. They can onlybe understood as allegories.

    Look at some beautiful allegories concerning Jesus.

    5:110 When Allah will say, O Jesus, son of Mary! Recall My blessings upon you andyour mother. I strengthened you with Sacred Revelation, enabled you to speakeloquently to the people while still in childhood, and also at the later age (3:45). I gaveyou revelation and wisdom including the Torah and the Gospel. Recall that you toldthem that you would raise them from dust up into the heights of glory by My leave(7:176). You made people see the Truth otherwise given to blind following by My leave.

    You healed the wounds of inequity on people by My leave, and you gave a newmeaning to life to those who were otherwise no better than dead by My leave (3:48,3:111, 6:123). Recall, how I prevented the Children of Israel from harming you whenyou came to them with all evidence of the truth (4:157). And those who were bent upondenying the truth said, This is nothing but clear deception.

    Question #3: Do you admit that Jesus is alive in the heavens while Muhammad isburied in dust? "Of course, yes", says the Muslim. [Wrong interpretation of 3:55 by theMullah]

    Question #4: Now, don't you believe in Jesus' Second Coming to rectify the problemsof all mankind including those of Muslims? Wont he be the one to kill the Antichrist?The Muslim responds, "Of course, I do believe in all this (junk). How can I be aMuslim if I don't?" [The Mullah has taught the Muslim masses exactly as above]

    This is the crucial moment when the Christian missionary embraces the Muslimyoungster saying, "This is exactly what we believe and so we are on the same wave-length." The next step is a little favor of some sort. Suddenly, wine becomes fine and

  • 8/3/2019 Messiah When is Comeing

    19/22

    19

    the forbidden fruit of dating becomes permissible. Jesus died for the sins ofhumanity. So, life becomes fun without accountability.

    This is the current design for the near future. But the foundation was laid a thousandyears ago when the enemies of Islam had introduced stories in our Ahadith aboutJesus sitting up in the heavens and his advent to the world once again to redeemeven the Muslims!

    PLEASE REMEMBER

    Remember that a living Jesus and his second coming are absolutely non-Quranicdogmas. Not a trace of them is found in the Five Article of Faith for a Muslim (2:177).Maudoodi is absolutely right that this dogma is entirely based on Ahadith and itis not found in the Quran. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Jamaluddin Afghani, MuftiMuhammad Abduh, Allama Iqbal, Allama Muhammad Asad (The great Austrianexponent of the Qur'an) Ahmed Deedat, Imam Vehbi Ismael, Mujtahid Imam Al-Husseini, and Maurice Buccaile, Allama Inayatullah Khan Al-Mashriqi, Abul Kalam

    Azad, Ubaidullah Sindhi, Allama Tamanna Imadi, Allama Habib-ur-Rahman Kandhalwiand numerous other scholars vehemently reject this thought as a maliciousfabrication. These great scholars maintain that Muslims may accept only thoseAhadith that agree with the Quran, and that too only as a questionable source ofhistory, but never as defining the Creed of Islam. The massive Hadith literature waspenned down on hearsay centuries after the exalted Prophet mostly by unscrupulousmen with vested personal, religious and political interests.

    The Prophet (S) is reported to have said that quotations ascribed to him must bechecked with the Qur'an. The author of this booklet remembers thousands of Ahadithby heart and he honors those Ahadith that are in agreement wit the Criterion of Al-

    Qur'an. See A SELECTION OF AHADITH by Dr. Shabbir.

    Now it is up to the reader whether to accept the Quran or keep these irrational,fabricated stories close to the heart and let the coming generations remain confusedand even denounce Islam.

    2:170 And when it is said unto them, "Follow that which Allah hasrevealed", they say, "Nay, we follow that wherein we found our ancestors."What! Even though their ancestors (and Imams) were lacking inunderstanding and were not rightly guided?

    GOG MAGOG

    Imagine once again the following events taking place in the modern age of technology:Muslims are standing at the East bank of the Jordan River. Their commander Jesus isclad in two yellow shawls and holding a spear in his hand. On the West bank of theJordan River is the archenemy, Dajjal (Antichrist) with his armies. Gog and Magoghave also appeared. Both armies East and the West of the river are holding swords.

  • 8/3/2019 Messiah When is Comeing

    20/22

    20

    Gog & Magog have sipped and dried up all seven oceans. Mahdi says, "Allah-o-Akbar!" Jesus stops Mahdi from attacking. Then Jesus the Messiah whirls his spear inthe air. Millions of infidels scream, "Ah! He killed me." And suddenly, the millionscollapse like dominoes. Gog and Magog are swatted like flies by Jesus and his legion.

    Only the believers remain on earth. (Today, one hundred Mullahs would come up withone hundred definitions of who a believer is). The Apocalypse is about to come butJesus stops the angels from blowing their trumpet, Wait, I have not married yet. A

    beautiful believing maiden steps forward and gives herself to him. Instant marriagetakes place. All believers on earth are invited to the wedding and at the Valima (thepost-wedding reception on the next day). Then several children are born in thehousehold of Jesus. Jesus tries his best to convince the audience, "Look, this is mywife and here are my children. So, believe me I am a human being, not divine, and Iam not the son of God. (Please note Jesus is trying to convince the Muslims whoalready know on the authority of the Qur'an that he was not divine).

    Anyhow, the angels appear again with their trumpet. Jesus signals to them to stop andsays, "No, wait! One thing is still remaining. I have to die before Qiyamat (theApocalypse). With a crowd of billions watching in anticipation, Jesus begins his 800

    miles stroll to Madinah. The gentle stroll takes only one hour. There he goes and liesdown on the ground next to the Prophet Muhammad's (S) grave. Once again with hisindex finger up in the air, he screams at the top his voice that he is not and never wasthe son of God. He also announces that in his second coming too he was only theson of Mary and Joseph. No prophet, no nothing, just a humble follower ofMuhammad (S). Then he closes his eyes and peacefully breathes his last. Men andAngels of the entire Universe are summoned to attend his funeral prayers.

    With all empathy to the respected reader, the story of insults to the human intelligencehas not ended yet. Our brilliant historians show mood swings in hundreds of books,essays, copies, and commentaries. These insults are so numerous that it is difficult

    even to list them.

    I believe and hope that I have been able to convey the essence of the trash our"respected, revered and honored", so-called scholars and Imams of the IslamicHistory, have generated.

    DAJJAL (ANTICHRIST)

    Let's bear some more insults for the sake of some semblance of completion. Ourbrilliant historian gets stuck in his own mess. He has to explain Dajjal. This powerful

    creature is described differently in different books. To be brief, he is a mastermagician, has supernatural powers, can travel at lightning speed. He can kill peopleand bring them back to life!

    Sometimes, he happens to be a European and at other times he becomes the leaderof the Jews. He has a blind right eye. Letters K F R (KUFR = Infidelity) are inscribedon his forehead. Sometimes he is seen as the railway and at other times the railwaybecomes his donkey. But in the end, our Imams are unable to decide whether its a

  • 8/3/2019 Messiah When is Comeing

    21/22

    21

    man or a nation, whether he is literally blind in the right eye or does it mean that hisspiritual eye is blind! Some Mullahs think Dajjal signifies the Christian nations, andsome Christian clergy grant this honor to Muslims. The details in the related booksreveal ignorance and apology at their height.

    MAHDI AND JESUS

    Mahdi at times happens to be a Sunni, at others a Shiite. A four five year old kidbecame forty years old within 40 days back in 873 CE! Today in 2006, he should be1,133 years old.

    Hundreds of people in the Muslim world have claimed to be Mahdi in the pastcenturies. I have seen one in chains in 1970! And they will keep coming until theMuslims return to the Qur'an.

    There is a host of descriptions of Jesus in the literature. He is an old prophet and he isthe follower of Prophet Muhammad (S). His appearance is remarkable. People willrecognize him as a man of medium height, blue eyes and a reddish white complexion.Of course, there is no question of tanning in the heavens. His blonde hair looks as ifwater was about to trickle down from them but it doesn't. He is clad in two yellowcloths. The sick looking man supported in his descent by two angels. Suddenly hebecomes mighty (like Popeye the sailor after eating spinach) and wealthy (withoutowning Microsoft) and showers so much of wealth that soon no one in the world iswilling to accept it. He will abolish the Jizyah taxes. Everyone will be a Muslim, sowhat Jizyahtaxes will he abolish?

    We have already seen the most interesting picture drawn by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad ofQadian.

    THE OTHER SIDE

    Dear reader, more than 60 million Americans and approximately 300 millionChristians and Jews worldwide believe in the myth of Armageddon. Yes, they arewaiting, but they are not in a state of morbid masterly inactivity.

    Breaking News: Grace Halsells' book, "Forcing God's Hand", published in 1999 andthe Washington Report of March 2000 on Middle East Affairs have reached me justtoday (April 7, 2000). A quick glance at these two publications indicates that there is a

    massive collaboration underway between fundamentalist Jews and Christians trying toforce an urgent Armageddon. Detailed plans have been made to demolish HaramAsh-Shareef (Masjid Al-Aqsa) and the Dome of the Rock (Qubba-tus-Sakhra) inJerusalem. Evangelists and Rabbis are preaching that the Messiah will come onlywhen the new and the third Jewish Temple has been built at the site of the HolyMuslim shrine!

  • 8/3/2019 Messiah When is Comeing

    22/22

    22

    This Messiah will annihilate all people on earth but Jews and Christians for "theyworship a tribal God concerned with only two peoples Jews and Christians". (GraceHalsell)The Christian interest, according to the Washington report, rests in providing a landingbase to the Messiah at the new Jewish temple after destroying Masjid Al-Aqsa.

    My good friend Dr. Javed Khan of New Jersey has called and suggested to include thetranslation of a verse of Sir Iqbal here:

    The way of the infidels is plan and action for JihadThe way of the Mullah, in the name of God Fasad(corruption in the earth)

    Now a few excerpts from these two publications:

    - USA shows unmatched combination of high levels of education and high levels ofreligious belief and activity.

    - Now is the time for the temple to be rebuilt.

    - The Israeli government must end the pagan Islamic occupation.

    - Who is the Antichrist? --- A personified opponent of Christians ----. He will take overthe government of the world.

    - Who are Gog and Magog? --- Enemies of Israel. Generally taken to mean Russia,China (and of course Muslims).

    -The Arab World is an Antichrist World.

    - Jews are the earthly elect and Christians are the heavenly elect of God.

    It is easy to see that the promised one of each nation seems to be bent upondestroying the other peoples. Will mankind make this horrible scenario a self-fulfillingprophecy?

    It is the author's conviction that no promised one will ever appear(The last one to come was the exalted Prophet Muhammad) and, Godwilling, mankind will choose the path of love and peace rather thantread the horrible way to a Third World War. Mankind has to and

    eventually will become One Community as ordained in the LastWord of God, Al-Qur'an. Amen!
