I heard that scholars are saying that Imam Mehdi will come after this Hajj...and they base this on the fact that most of the minor signs of the day of judgement have already happened. Now could you clarify the whole Imam Mehdi arrival and who he is exactly..and wheres he coming from...and whats going to happen after his arrval (like the Hajuj Majuj and everything).

Answer:

 

Mahdi and Yajuj Majuj

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person,  no grave, no prophet,  no imam,  no dai,  nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Your Statement: i heard that scholars are saying that Imam Mehdi will come after this Hajj...and they base this on the fact that most of the minor signs of the day of judgement have already happened.

Dear and Beloved Brother in Islam, there is only One Being Who Knows what has transpired, what is transpiring, and what exactly will transpire in the future; and that Being is The One and Only Lord of the Worlds, Allah Subhanah! 

 

Thus for anything that will happen in the future, we can, should, and must rely only and only on what is said by our Lord Most High in His Glorious Quran, or what He pleased to make known to our beloved Prophet (saws) through revelation. 

 

The coming of the Imam Mahdi and the emergence of the tribes of Yajuj and Majuj are indeed amongst the Signs of the Day of Judgment as related by Allah and His Messenger (saws); but when exactly these events of the future will take place is in the knowledge of none, except our Lord Most High, Most Supreme.

 

Your Question: Now could you clarify the whole Imam Mehdi arrival and who he is exactly..and wheres he coming from...and whats going to happen after his arrval (like the Hajuj Majuj and everything).

Whatever we know of the events that will transpire before the Penultimate Day of Judgment, is what is related to us in Truth by the Messenger of Allah (saws):

 

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4272  Narrated by AbuSa'id al-Khudri

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The Mahdi will be of my stock, and will have a broad forehead a prominent nose. He will fill the earth with equity and justice as it will be filled with oppression and tyranny, and he will rule for seven years.

 

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5455        Narrated by AbuSa'id al-Khudri

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said in the course of the story about the Mahdi, that a man would come to him and say, "Give me, give me, Mahdi," and he would pour into his garment as much as he was able to carry.

Tirmidhi transmitted it.

 

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 6278        Narrated by Ja'far  as-Sadiq

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "Rejoice and rejoice again. My people are just like the rain, it not being known whether the last or the first of it is better; or it is like a garden from which a troop can be fed for a year, then another troop can be fed for a year, and perhaps the last troop which comes may be the broadest, deepest and finest. How can a people perish of which I am the first, the Mahdi the middle and the Messiah the last? But in the course of that there will be a crooked party which does not belong to me and to which I do not belong."

Razin transmitted it.

 

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4271  Narrated by Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatimah.

 

Yajooj and Majooj are the names of the people of two wild tribes of the north-east Asia, who from the earliest times, had been making inroads on settled empires in Asia and Europe, and ravaging them.   According to the Book of Ezekiel in the Bible (Chapters 38 and 39), they inhabited the territories of Russia and Tubalsek and Moscow.   According to the Israelite history, they were the Seythians who inhabited the land to the north and east of the Black Sea.  

 

Sahih Muslim Hadith 6931     Narrated by Hudhayfah ibn Usayd Ghifari

Allah's Messenger (saws) came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion).  He (saws) said: ‘What do you discuss about?’  (the Companions) said: ‘ We are discussing about the Last Hour.’   Thereupon he (saws) said:  ‘It will not come until you see Ten Signs before and (in this connection) he made a mention of the Smoke, the Dajjal, the Beast,  the rising of the sun from the west,  the descent of Jesus son of Mary (Allah be pleased with him),  The Gog and Magog,  and landslides in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia at the end of which fire would burn forth from the Yemen,  and would drive people to the place of their assembly.’

 

It is related in the Holy Quran that in times gone by, Allah Subhanah sent a great ruler and believer (Zul-Qarnain),  and he built a wall of molten lead to contain the menace of the tribes of Yajooj and Majooj.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah Kahf verses 94-97:

94      They said: "O Zul-qarnain! the Gog and Magog (people) do great mischief on earth: shall we then render thee tribute in order that thou mightest erect a barrier between us and them?"

95      He said: "(The power) in which my Lord has established me is better (than tribute): help me therefore with strength (and labor): I will erect a strong barrier between you and them:

96      "Bring me blocks of iron." At length when he had filled up the space between the two steep mountain sides he said "Blow (with your bellows)." Then when he had made it (red) as fire he said: "Bring me that I may pour over it molten lead."

97      Thus were they made powerless to scale it or to dig through it.

 

And it is related in the Holy Quran,  that near the end of time,  Yajooj and Majooj will emerge again, and cause a terrible menace.   This will happen after Prophet Jesus (a.s.) has ridden the world of the menace of the Dajjal.   Then Prophet Jesus (a.s.) and the believers will supplicate Allah Subhanah to help them;  and Allah will send a swarm of insects who will kill the full tribe of Yajooj and Majooj.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah Anbiyaa verses 96-97:

96      Until the Gog and Magog (people) are let through (their barrier) and they swiftly swarm from every hill.

97      Then will the True Promise draw nigh (of fulfillment): then behold! the eyes of the Unbelievers will fixedly stare in horror: "Ah! woe to us! we were indeed heedless of this;  nay we truly did wrong!"

 

The current situation and position of the believers must be to strive to obey each and every command of Allah and His Messenger (saws), and strive to make the word of Allah Supreme in the world.  Imam Mahdi will come exactly at the time Allah has Decreed, and the events will unfold exactly as prophesized by the Messenger of Allah (saws).  Allah has not made it our duty to search for the Mahdi;  he will come when he comes!  On the Day of Judgment, Allah Subhanah will judge us according to our deeds;  neither will Allah question us why we did not appoint a Mahdi,  nor will He ask us why we did not wait for Mahdi’s  coming!  Thus, instead of waiting for Imam Mahdi to come and put things aright in this world; we must strive to do whatever we can to be better muslims, and strive to the best of our abilities to declare the Message of Allah to all those who care to listen to good caution.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

Burhan
