Letters to the Israeli and Egyptian ambassadors in Tokyo, Japan regarding the most recent Hamas-Israel War in Gaza Strip (addressed by Alburr Al-Hameed, a Pakistani British citizen residing in Japan)

Dear Mr Gilad Cohen,

As we have seen over the past few days the clashes and the tensions between the Israeli Defense Forces and the people of Gaza; how the Israeli Defense forces are fighting a war which claims that was initiated by Hamas. As we all are aware, that the Gaza Strip has been under a military blockade since 2007; with Israel controlling the borders and the airspace of Gaza. This has also led to the fact that the ordinary civilians of Gaza have been unable to enter nor exit the Gaza Strip, regardless of the reasons - such as seeking employment abroad, visiting family and friends, being unable to care for family members, and many others. In other words, they have been living in a concentration camp as virtual prisoners.

As all Human Rights Organizations around the world have iterated that the citizens of Gaza have been living in extremely deplorable and humiliating conditions as they have no means of employment, nor any hopes of leaving the 45 sq km land, no access to medical treatment, hardly any electricity; food and water being in scarcity, people being killed due to the Israeli air strikes and so on.

I strongly believe that as an Occupied Territory, Israel should at least protect the civilians or allow any means to let the civilians to exit the Gaza Strip, where they can be given access to medical facilities, be provided with food, water and shelter; the orphans who have lost their parents, relatives and guardians due to the bombing be given adequate care and protection. These children will have no one to look after them if they are abandoned.

This is a humanitarian crisis and a genocide. Where exactly are the Gazans supposed to go, given the fact that your country has imposed a severe and brutal blockade on them for over a decade? Your military is razing the whole Strip to the ground, and the citizens of the Strip are trapped. They cannot even leave via the Mediterranean Sea. If you commit a genocide on a helpless civilian population, history will never forgive you. Do you want to be remembered as a nation that committed a mass genocide on a helpless population that does not have the military strength to fight you on equal terms?

Now you may be tempted to blame Hamas, as many media sources especially the Western ones have been doing so. Does it even occur to your country that Hamas cannot be equated with the civilian population, who have no hopes for the future? What do you expect from people who have been living under a brutal and cruel blockade for over a decade? Does it not bother your country's conscience that a population of over 500,000 living in a very dense area are living in what human rights organizations call the world's largest open-air prison? Your country has confined these people and refuses to let any international aid to reach them without your permission. These people are at your mercy. Isn't Israel required under international law to protect and provide for those living under its jurisdiction? Israel is a developed nation that claims to be the only democracy in the Middle East. Does freedom and democracy not apply to those living in the occupied territories? How long is Israel going to subjugate the population of the Occupied Territories? The life of an average Palestinian in the Occupied Territories is no where near as equal to an average Israeli citizen.

It is my strong urge to the Government of Israel to lift the blockade and allow the Gazan civilians to gain access to safety. It is my strong urge to the Government of Israel to respect international law and respect the rights and human dignity of the people of Gaza. They are human beings who are entitled to a life of freedom, dignity and honor, just like anyone else.

The Holocaust should serve as a lesson to humanity - that no one has the right to be persecuted, tortured, massacred and ethnically cleansed due to their belonging to a particular race. Each and every human being is entitled to dignity and honor as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Holocaust should teach us humanity and compassion for those who are suffering, empathy for those who are defenseless, a sense of justice and morality, to stand up for those who cannot defend nor protect themselves. The Gazans will be ethnically cleansed if the blockade is not lifted and if Israel, with its advanced military and weapons continues to bomb and decimate the Strip. Think of the future of the people trapped in this gigantic prison which is the Gaza Strip. Think about your soldiers. Have you ever considered how PTSD will forever scar and haunt those engaged in the genocide? Will you be content with that fact that Israel will be seen as and remembered as a nation that massacred a population that was unable to defend itself? Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East as claimed by your country. Please respect and honor this and extend this right to the Palestinians. They, along with Israelis are entitled to live a life of justice and equality. Justice is a right for the Palestinians as well as the Israelis. If Israelis are entitled to live a life of freedom, dignity and honor and without any fears of any future holocaust; then please extend this right to the Palestinians.

As you are the representative of the State of Israel, it is my strong request to you and your government to please end the blockade, end the bombing of Gaza, respect and honor the human rights of the civilians and end the genocide. Protect the helpless and the defenseless; be just and fair and set a good example as a democratic state should. Hamas does not equal the civilians of Gaza and the civilians should never have to pay the price of what Hamas has done. There are old people, women, mothers, children, unemployed men who cannot get married, nor gain access to a job in order to provide for their families. There are people who are living without electricity, clean water, proper food, malnourished children, and people living in immense poverty, who have no hope unless and until you set them free. Israel as a powerful and developed nation has that power and that responsibility.

Thank you for taking the time to consider the points that I have raised,

I sincerely wish that your government will take the steps to put an end to the suffering of an already subjugated population;

Alburr Al Hameed

Dear Mr Mohamed AbuBakr,
 
Asalamualikum Wa Rahmatullahi wabarakatuhu,
 
As we have seen over the past few days the clashes and the tensions between the Israeli Defense Forces and the people of Gaza; how the Israeli Defense forces are fighting a war which claims that was initiated by Hamas. As we all are aware, that the Gaza Strip has been under a military blockade since 2007; with Israel controlling the borders and the airspace of Gaza. Egypt also shares a border at the Rafah Crossing. This has also led to the fact that the ordinary civilians of Gaza have been unable to enter nor exit the Gaza Strip, regardless of the reasons - such as seeking employment abroad, visiting family and friends, being unable to care for family members, and many others. In other words, they have been living in a concentration camp as virtual prisoners.
 
As all Human Rights Organizations around the world have iterated that the citizens of Gaza have been living in extremely deplorable and humiliating conditions as they have no means of employment, nor any hopes of leaving the 45 sq km land, no access to medical treatment, hardly any electricity; food and water being in scarcity, people being killed due to the Israeli air strikes and so on.
 
I strongly believe that as an a territory that has been living under a brutal and cruel Israeli occupation, Egypt does have some responsibility to at least allow any means to let the civilians to exit the Gaza Strip, where they can be given access to medical facilities, be provided with food, water and shelter; the orphans who have lost their parents, relatives and guardians due to the bombing be given adequate care and protection. These children will have no one to look after them if they are abandoned.
 
There is a humanitarian crisis and a genocide taking place in The Gaza Strip. Where exactly are the Gazans supposed to go, given the fact that your country has participated in imposing a severe and brutal blockade on them for over a decade? The Israeli military is razing the whole Strip to the ground, and the citizens of the Strip are trapped. As we have all seen and heard that Israel has ordered the Gazans in the North to evacuate to the South. Gaza is already a very small strip. Where will they go? They cannot even leave via the Mediterranean Sea. If a genocide is commited on a helpless civilian population, history will never forgive you for cooperating with Israel in being the perpetrator. Do you want to be remembered as a nation that helped to commit a mass genocide on a helpless population that does not have a military?
 
Now you may be tempted to blame Hamas, as many media sources especially the Western ones have been doing so. Does it even occur to your country that Hamas cannot be equated with the civilian population, who have no hopes for the future? What do you expect from people who have been living under a brutal and cruel blockade for over a decade? Does it not bother your country's conscience that a population of over 500,000 living in a very dense area are living in what human rights organizations call the world's largest open-air prison? Your country has helped to confine these people and has refused to let them leave. For what crimes have the Gazans been punished for?
 
It is my strong urge to the Government of Egypt to allow the Gazan civilians to gain access to safety. It is my strong urge to the Government of Egypt to respect the rights and human dignity of the people of Gaza. They are human beings, fellow Muslims and fellow Arabs who are entitled to a life of freedom, dignity and honor, just like anyone else.
 
Each and every human being is entitled to dignity and honor as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Our religion of Islam has taught us humanity and compassion for those who are suffering, empathy for those who are defenseless, a sense of justice and morality, to stand up for those who cannot defend nor protect themselves. The Gazans will be ethnically cleansed if the blockade is not lifted and if Israel, with its advanced military and weapons continues to bomb and decimate the Strip. Think of the future of the people trapped in this gigantic prison which is the Gaza Strip. Have you ever considered how PTSD will forever scar and haunt those engaged in the genocide? Will you be content with that fact that Egypt will be seen as and remembered as a nation that stood by as a neighbor while a population that was unable to defend itself was brutally annihilated?
 
As you are the representative of the State of Egypt, it is my strong request to you and your government to please help the Gazan civilians, to respect and honor the human rights of the civilians and to help end the genocide. Protect the helpless and the defenseless. Hamas does not equal the civilians of Gaza and the civilians should never have to pay the price of what Hamas has done. There are old people, women, mothers, children, unemployed men who cannot get married, nor gain access to a job in order to provide for their families. There are people who are living without electricity, clean water, proper food, malnourished children, and people living in immense poverty, who have no hope unless and until you help to set them free. Remember, we will stand before God Almighty on the Day of Judgment and will be questioned about what we did to help those who were weak and oppressed. If Egypt looks the other way and fails to allow the Gazans to escape, then this will be as equivalent to participating in a heinous crime against humanity.
 
Thank you for taking the time to consider the points that I have raised,
 
I sincerely wish that your government will take the steps to put an end to the suffering of an already subjugated population;

The Biblical Antichrist, the Jewish Moshiach, and the Twelfth Imam: A Universal Tribulation

Throughout centuries of theological discourse, the figure of the Antichrist has been a subject of intense study among scholars of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The prophecies found in the Bible, the Hadith literature of Prophet Muhammad, and Jewish eschatological texts converge on a singular deceptive figure who will claim divine authority, only to mislead the world into unprecedented tribulation. My research leads me to conclude beyond reasonable doubt that the Antichrist, as prophesied in the Bible and by Prophet Muhammad, will manifest as both the Moshiach (Messiah) of the Jews and the Twelfth Imam of the Shiites. His rise will be marked by deception, and his dominion will not be confined to any single religious tradition but will engulf all of humanity in a universal crisis.

The Antichrist and the Jewish Moshiach

Jewish eschatology speaks of a coming Moshiach who will establish an era of peace, rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, and gather the Jewish diaspora. According to Talmudic and Kabbalistic traditions, this Moshiach will be a great political and spiritual leader who restores Israel’s sovereignty and ushers in an age of unparalleled prosperity.

However, Christian prophecy warns that a false Messiah will come in the end times, deceiving the world. The New Testament, particularly in the books of Matthew, Thessalonians, and Revelation, describes this Antichrist as a figure who will perform signs and wonders to deceive even the elect (Matthew 24:24). If the Jewish Messiah were to be universally accepted, even by non-Jews, this would be a clear indication that he is not the true Messiah, for Jesus Christ warned that his second coming would not be an event of political ascendancy, but a sudden and final divine intervention.

It is therefore plausible that the Antichrist will emerge as the long-awaited Jewish Moshiach, fulfilling the aspirations of Zionist Jews who seek political and military dominion. The crowning of this false Messiah in Jerusalem, the heart of the Abrahamic world, would signify the climax of global deception.

The Twelfth Imam and Shiite Eschatology

Shiite Islam, particularly in the doctrine of Twelver Shiism, holds that the Mahdi, or the Twelfth Imam, will reappear in the end times to establish divine justice. Unlike the Sunni concept of the Mahdi, which aligns more closely with orthodox Islamic teachings, the Shiite Mahdi is portrayed as a near-divine figure whose return will be accompanied by cosmic upheavals.

Under the leadership of figures such as Ayatollah Khomeini, Shiism has diverged significantly from the Islam of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Whereas traditional Islam maintains strict monotheism and denounces intercessory figures, Shiite doctrines elevate their Imams to quasi-divine status. This departure from Tawhid (pure monotheism) opens the door to eschatological deception.

The Antichrist, according to my research, will first emerge in Iran as the long-awaited Twelfth Imam. He will be hailed as a messianic leader and will unite the radical Shiite factions under his command. His ascent will be marked by a deceptive call for justice, but his true objective will be to lead Muslims away from the authentic teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

From Iran to Jerusalem: The New Cyrus and the Moshiach of Zionists

The connection between Iran and Israel in end-time prophecies is intriguing. Iran, as the heir to the ancient Persian Empire, holds historical significance for Jews due to Cyrus the Great, who facilitated the return of the Israelites from Babylonian exile and enabled the rebuilding of the Temple. If a powerful leader were to emerge in Iran, claiming to be the reincarnation or ideological successor of Cyrus, he would gain immense credibility among both Jews and Shiites.

This "New Cyrus" could then transition from being the Shiite Mahdi to the Jewish Moshiach, solidifying his power in the Holy Land. As the Jewish Moshiach, he will be welcomed by Zionist Jews who see him as the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. At this stage, his influence will extend beyond the Middle East, reaching the broader Christian world.

The Antichrist as the Christ of the Holy See

The final stage in the Antichrist’s deception will be his acceptance as the global Christ figure, including by segments of the Christian world. The Vatican, with its historical involvement in interfaith dialogue and political maneuvering, may be instrumental in presenting him as a universal savior. Given that the Bible warns of a great apostasy in the end times (2 Thessalonians 2:3), it is likely that even the Catholic Church, or at least its leadership, will fall into this deception.

Revelation 13 describes a beast with global authority, worshiped by all nations. If the Antichrist first emerges as the Islamic Mahdi, then as the Jewish Moshiach, his ultimate step would be to claim the title of Christ, thereby completing his deception across all three Abrahamic faiths. This would not be a mere theological event, but a global political and economic transformation, solidifying his rule over a world desperate for unity and peace.

A Universal Tribulation

The Antichrist is not a threat to one religion alone. His deception will transcend religious boundaries, affecting Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike. His emergence will mark the greatest tribulation in human history, one that demands vigilance and discernment from all believers.

For Muslims, it will be a test of faith, requiring adherence to the authentic teachings of Prophet Muhammad and resistance to innovations that distort Islam. For Christians, it will be a call to distinguish between the true Christ, who will return in divine glory, and the false one who seeks political power. For Jews, it will be the ultimate reckoning of whether they choose divine guidance or political expediency.

Prophet Muhammad warned that Dajjal (the Antichrist) will perform miracles to deceive the masses, and that his arrival will be one of the greatest trials for humanity. Similarly, Jesus Christ warned against false Messiahs who would claim his title and deceive many.

Conclusion: A Call for Discernment

The convergence of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish eschatology points toward a singular deceptive figure who will claim divine legitimacy. The Antichrist will not merely be a political leader; he will be a religious figure who unites disparate traditions under his rule. Beginning in Iran as the Twelfth Imam, he will transition to Israel as the Moshiach before finally positioning himself as the Christ recognized by a corrupted Christian establishment.

The coming of the Antichrist is not a distant myth—it is the looming tribulation of our future. This deception will not discriminate between Muslims, Jews, or Christians; it will be a universal trial that tests the faith and discernment of all believers. The only safeguard against his influence is a steadfast commitment to the truth revealed in divine scriptures and an unwavering rejection of false saviors who seek earthly power.

In these times of rising global deception, it is imperative to remain vigilant, recognizing that the Antichrist’s emergence will not be an isolated event but a calculated, multi-stage strategy that will ensnare the unprepared. May God guide us all to the truth and protect us from the greatest tribulation yet to come.

David Icke

David Vaughan Icke, pronounced /aik/ (born April 29, 1952) is a former professional football player, reporter, television sports presenter, and British Green Party national spokesperson. Since 1990, he has been what he calls a "full-time investigator into who and what is really controlling the world." [1]
The Green Party distanced itself from him in 1991 after he announced that he was "the son of God," [2] (video) and a "channel for the Christ spirit." [3] He began to dress only in turquoise and maintained that the world was ruled by a secret group called the "Global Elite", or "Illuminati", which he linked to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic hoax. [4] [5] In 1999, he published The Biggest Secret, in which he wrote that the secret world government consists of a race of reptilian humanoids known as the Babylonian Brotherhood, and that many prominent figures are, in fact, reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie. [4][6]
Icke has further claimed that a small group of Jews, namely the Rothschild family — who are really a "reptilian humanoid bloodline" — secretly financed Adolf Hitler and supported the Holocaust. [7] As a result, Icke's speaking tours at one time attracted the interest of British neo-Nazis such as Combat 18, [5] and he continues to face opposition from Jewish and anti-racist groups such as the Anti-Defamation League in Canada. Icke has strongly denied that he is an anti-Semite, stressing that the Rothschilds are reptiles, not Jews. [2]

The Prophet, Muhammad warning about The Antichrist, by Ahmad Nor

The Last Messenger to Humanity did warn about The Beast of the Bible who will emerge and terrorize and conquer every city except Makkah and Madinah. The False Messiah (Arabic 'Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal') according to the Prophet will appear as a young person with deformed physical characteristics; he will be blind on his right eye and his left eye which he sees with will be shining green.

And apart from appearing between Syria and Iraq and making his appearance known in Isfahan, he will have a large following of the Jews (Zionists?), women (feminists?), illegitimate children and the Bedouins (according to Wikipedia, the Shiites of today are religious descendants of Bedouin Kharijites who had infiltrated Shiism after death of Ali) and will bring his own religion, with him as the Deity.

Here, we have compiled authentic narrations from Sahih Muslim, the third most authentic source of Islamic Religion regarding the Prophet's predictions of the future, in particular the coming of the one-eyed Antichrist.

We urge Humanity, from any religions and backgrounds to take heed of the predictions of the Prophet, as we may sometimes take heed of later Prophecy figures like Nostradamus. We will see that so many of these prophecies had come into being, indeed the Prophet did not speak from his own desires. A few coincide with what Nostradamus had prophesied.

PERTAINING TO THE CONQUEST OF CONSTANTINOPLE AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST AND DESCENT OF JESUS SON OF MARY (JESUS CHRIST)

Book 041, Number 6924:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army). which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eye, would be killed ani the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Antichrist has taken your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah (the Antichrist) would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront him at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill him by his hand and he would show them his blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).

THERE WOULD BE MUCH BLOODSHED AMONG ROMANS AT THE TIME OF THE APPEARANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST

Book 041, Number 6927:
Yusair b. Jabir reported: Once there blew a red storm in Kufah that there came a person who had nothing to say but (these words): Abdullah b. Mas'ud, the Last Hour has come. He ('Abdullah b. Mas'ud) was sitting reclining against something, and he said: The Last Hour would not come until the people divide in- heritance and rejoice over booty, and then said pointing towards Syria, with the gesture of his hand like this: The enemy shall muster strength against Muslims and the Muslims will muster strength against them (Syrians). I said: You mean Rome? And he said: Yes, and there would be a terrible fight and the Muslims would prepare a detachment (for fighting unto death) which would not return but victorious. They will fight until night will intervene them; both the sides will return without being victorious and both will be wiped out. The Muslims will again prepare a detachment for fighting unto death so that they may not return but victorious. When it would be the fourth day, a new detachment out of the remnant of the Muslims would be prepared and Allah will decree that the enemy should be routed. And they would fight such a fight the like of which would not be seen, so much so that even if a bird were to pass their flanks, it would fall down dead before reaching the end of them. (There would be such a largescale massacre) that when counting would be done, (only) one out of a hundred men related to one another would be found alive. So what can be the joy at the spoils of such war and what inheritance would be divided! They would be in this very state that they would hear of a calamity more horrible than this. And a cry would reach them: The Antichrist has taken your place among your off-spring. They will, therefore, throw away what would be in their hands and go forward sending ten horsemen, as a scouting party. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I know their names and the names of their forefathers and the colour of their horses. They will be best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day or amongst the best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day.

THE CONQUESTS OF THE MUSLIMS BEFORE THE APPEARANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST

Book 041, Number 6930:
Nafi' b. Utba reported: We were with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) in an expedition that there came a people to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock and they met him as Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was sitting. I said to myself: Better go to them and stand between him and them that they may not attack him. Then I thought that perhaps there had been going on secret negotiation amongst them. I however, went to them and stood between them and him and I remember four of the words (on that occasion) which I repeat (on the fingers of my hand) that he (Allah's Messenger) said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you to Conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack the Antichrist and Allah will enable you to conquer him. Nafi' said: Jabir, we thought that the Antichrist would appear after Rome (Syrian territory) would be conquered.

ACCOUNT OF THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS FEATURES AND WHAT WOULD BE ALONG WITH HIM

Book 041, Number 7005:
Ibn Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). made a mention of the Antichrist in the presence of the people and said: Allah is not one-eyed and behold that the Antichrist is blind on the right eye and his eye would be like a floating grape.

Book 041, Number 7006:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar through another chain of transmitters.

Book 041, Number 7007:
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There is never a prophet who has not warned the Ummah of that one-eyed liar; behold he is one-eyed and your Lord is not one-eyed. On his forehead are the letters k f. r. (Kafir).

Book 041, Number 7008:
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There would be written three letters k. f. r., i. e. Kafir, between the eyes of the Antichrist.

Book 041, Number 7009:
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Antichrist is blind of one eye and there is written between his eyes the word "Kafir". He then spelled the word as k. f. r., which every Muslim would be able to read.

Book 041, Number 7010:
Hudhalfa reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Antichrist is blind of left eye with thick hair and there would be a garden and fire with him and his fire would be a garden and his garden would be fire.

Book 041, Number 7011:
Hudhaifa reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: the Antichrist would have with him water and fire and his fire would bays the effect of cold water and his water would have the effect of fire, so don't put yourself to ruin. Abu Mas'ud reported: I also heard it from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).

Book 041, Number 7012:
'Uqba b. 'Amr Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari reported: I went to Hudhaifa b. Yaman and said to him: Narrate what you have heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) pertaining to the Antichrist. He said that the Antichrist would appear and there would be along with him water ant fire and what the people would see as water that would be fire and that would burn and what would appear as fire that would be water and any one of you who would see that should plunge in that which he sees as fire for it would be sweet, pure water, and 'Uqba said: I also heard it, testifying Hudhaifa.

Book 041, Number 7013:
Hudhaifa and Ibn Mas'ud met together. Hudhaifa said: I know more than you as to what there would be along with the Antichrist. There would be along with him two canals (one flowing with water) and the other one (having) fire (within it), and what you would see as fire would be water and what you would see as water would be fire. So he who amongst you is able to see that and is desirous of water should drink out of that which he sees as fire.

Book 041, Number 7014:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: May I not inform you about the Antichrist what no Apostle of Allah narrated to his people? He would be blind and he would bring along with him an Image of Paradise and Hell-Fire and what he would call as Paradise that would be Hell-Fire and I warn you as Noah warned his people.

Book 041, Number 7015:
An-Nawwas b. Sam'an reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) made a mention of the Antichrist one day in the morning. He sometimes described him to be insignificant and sometimes described (his turmoil) as very significant rand we felt) as if he were in the cluster of the date-palm trees. When we went to him (to the Holy Prophet) in the evening and he read (the signs of fear) in our faces, he said: What is the matter with you? We said: Allah's Messenger, you made a mention of the Antichrist in the morning (sometimes describing him) to be insignificant and sometimes very important, until we began to think as if he were present in some (near) part of the cluster of the date palm trees. Thereupon he said: I harbour fear in regard to you in so many other things besides the Antichrist. If he comes forth while I am among on, I shall contend with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth while I am not amongst you, a man must contend on his own behalf and Allah would take care of every Muslim on my behalf (and safeguard him against his evil). He (Antichrist) would be a young man with twisted, contracted hair, and a blind eye. I compare him to 'Abd-ul-'Uzza b. Qatan. He who amongst you would survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Sura Kahf (xviii.). He would appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and would spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! adhere (to the path of Truth). We said: Allah's Messenger, how long would he stay on the earth? He said.. For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days. We said: Allah's Messenger, would one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of day equal to one year? Thereupon he said: No, but you must make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer). We said: Allah's Messenger, how quickly would he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he said: Like cloud driven by the wind. He would come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion) and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He would then give command to the sky and there would be rainfall upon the earth and it would grow crops. Then in the evening, their posturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. He would then come to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he would go away from them and there would be drought for them and nothing would be lef t with them in the form of wealth.
He would then walk through the waste, land and say to it: Bring forth your treasures, and the treasures would come out and collect (themselves) before him like the swarm of bees. He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness) and it would at this very time that Allah would send Christ, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he would lower his head, there would fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he would raise it up, beads like pearls would scatter from it. Every non-believer who would smell the odour of his self would die and his breath would reach as far as he would be able to see. He would then search for him (Antichrist) until he would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd and would kill him. Then a people whom Allah had protected would come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that Allah would reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur, and then Allah would send Gog and Magog and they would swarm down from every slope. The first of them would pass the lake of Tiberius and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass, he would say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions would then be besieged here (at Tur, and they would be so much hard pressed) that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one hundred dinirs and Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would supplicate Allah, Who would send to them insects (which would attack their necks) and in the morning they would perish like one single person. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then come down to the earth and they would not find in the earth as much space as a single span which is not filled with their putrefaction and stench. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then again beseech Allah, Who would send birds whose necks would be like those of bactrin camels and they would carry them and throw them where God would will.
Then Allah would send rain which no house of clay or (the tent of) camels' hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it could appear to be a mirror. Then the earth would be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there would grow (such a big) pomegranate that a group of persons would be able to eat that, and seek shelter under its skin and milch cow would give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it. And the milch camel would give such (a large quantity of) milk that the whole tribe would be able to drink out of that and the milch sheep would give so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that and at that time Allah would send a pleasant wind which would soothe (people) even under their armpits, and would take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them.

Book 041, Number 7016:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition that Gog and Magog would walk until they would reach the mountain of al-Khamar and it is a mountain of Bait-ul-Maqdis and they would say: We have killed those who are upon the earth. Let us now kill those who are In the sky and they would throw their arrows towards the sky and the arrows would return to them besmeared with blood. And in the narration of Ibn Hujr (the words are):" I have sent such persons (Gog and Magog) that none would dare fight against them.

THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE ANTICHRIST AND A BAN ON HIS ENTRY TO MADINAH AND HIS KILLING OF A BELIEVER AND THEN RESTORING HIM TO LIFE

Book 041, Number 7017:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) one day gave a detailed account of the Antichrist and in that it was also included: He would come but would not be allowed to ether the mountain passes to Madinah. So he will alight at some of the barren tracts near Madinah, and a person who would be the best of men or one from amongst the best of men would say to him: I bear testimony to the fact that you are the Antichrist about whom Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had informed us. The Antichrist would say: What is your opinion if I kill this (person), then I bring him back to life; even then will you harbour doubt in this matter? They would say: No. He would then kill (the man) and then bring him back to life. When he would bring that person to life, he would say: By Allah, I had no better proof of the fact (that you are the Antichrist) than at the present time (that you are actually so). The Antichrist would then make an attempt to kill him (again) but he would not be able to do that. Abu Ishaq reported that it was said: That person would be Khidir (Allah be pleased with him).

Book 041, Number 7019:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Antichrist would come forth and a person from amongst the believers would go towards him and the armed men of the Antichrist would meet him and they would say to him: Where do you intend to go? He would say: I intend to go to this one who is coming forth. They would say to him: Don't you believe in our Lord? He would say: There is nothing hidden about our Lord. They would say: Kill him. Then some amongst them would say: Has your master (Antichrist) not forbidden you to kill anyone without (his consent)? And so they would take him to the Antichrist and when the believer would see him, he would say: O people, he is the Antichrist about whom Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) has informed (us). The Antichrist would then order for breaking his head and utter (these words): Catch hold of him and break his head. He would be struck even on his back and on his stomach. Then the Antichrist would ask him: Don't you believe in me? He would say: You are a false Messiah. He would then order him to be torn (into pieces) with a saw from the parting of his hair up to his legs. After that the Antichrist would walk between the two pieces. He would then say to him: Stand, and he would stand erect. He would then say to him: Don't you believe in me? And the person would say: It has only added to my insight concerning you (that you are really the Antichrist). He would then say: O people, he would not behave with anyone amongst people (in such a manner) after me. The Antichrist would try to catch hold of him so that he should kill him (again). The space between his neck and collar bone would be turned into copper and he would find no means to kill him. So he would catch hold of him by his hand and feet and throw him (into the air) and the people would think as if he had been thrown in the Hell-Fire whereas he would be thrown in Paradise. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He would be the most eminent amongst persons in regard to martyrdom in the eye of the Lord of the world.

THE ANTICHRIST WOULD BE VERY INSIGNIFICANT IN THE EYE OF ALLAH, THE MAJESTIC AND GLORIOUS

Book 041, Number 7020:
Mughira b. Shu'ba reported: No one asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) more about the Antichrist than I asked him. He said: He should not be a source of worry to you for he would not be able to do any harm to you. I said: Allah's Messenger, it is alleged that he would have along with him (abundance of) food and water. Thereupon he said: He would be very insignificant in the eye of Allah (even) with all this.

Book 041, Number 7021:
Mughira b. Shu'ba reported that none asked Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) about the Antichrist more than I asked him. I (one of the narrators other than Mughlra b. Shu'ba) said: What'did you ask? Mughira replied: I said that the people alleged that he would have a mountain load of bread and mutton and rivers of water. Thereupon he said: He would be more insignificant in the eye of Allah compared with all this.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS STAY UPON THE EARTH AND THE DESCENT OF JESUS AND HIS KILLING HIM (ANTICHRIST) AND THE DEPARTURE OF GOOD PEOPLE OF STRONG CONVICTION AND THE SURVIVAL OF THE WICKED PEOPLE AND THE WORSHIP OF IDOLS AND THE BLOWING OF THE TRUMPET AND THE RAISING UP FROM THE GRAVES

Book 041, Number 7023:
'Abdullah b. 'Amr reported that a person came to him and said: What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Antichrist would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty-I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no ran. cour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his heath. I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the charactertistics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then the Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend hfs neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered." (lxviii. 42).

Book 041, Number 7024:
Ya'qub b. 'Asim b. Urwa b. Mas'ud reported: I heard a person saying to 'Abdullah b. Amr: You say that the Last Hour would come at such and such time, whereupon he said: I had made up my mind that I would not narrate anything to you. I only said: But you would soon see after some time a very significant affair, for example the burning of the House (Ka'ba). Shu'ba said like this and 'Abdullah b Amr reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said: The Antichrist would appear in my Ummah. And in another hadith (the words are): None would survive who would have even a speck of faith in his heart, but he would be dead. Muhammad b. ja'far reported that Shu'ba narrated to him this hadith many a time and I also read it out to him many a time.

Book 041, Number 7025:
Abdullah b. 'Amr reported: I committed to memory a hadith from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and I did not forget it after I had heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The first sign (nut of the signs of the appearance of the Antichrist) would be the appearance of the sun from the west, the appearance of the beast before the people in the forenoon and which of the two hap-pens first, the second one would follow immediately after that.

Book 041, Number 7026:
Abu Zur'a reported that three persons amongst Muslims had been sitting in Medina in the presence of Marwan b. Hakam and they heard him narrate these signs from him and the first amongst them was the appearance of the Antichrist. 'Abdullah b. 'Amr reported that Marwin said nothing (particular in this connection). I, however, heard a hadith from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and I did not forget that after I had heard that from Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and he reported a hadith like the foregoing.

Book 041, Number 7027:
Abu Zur'a reported that there was a discussion in the presence of Marwan about the Last Hour, and Abdullah b. 'Amr said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying. The rest of the hadith is the same, but there is no mention of forenoon.

THE NARRATION PERTAINING TO THE SPY OF THE ANTICHRIST

Book 041, Number 7028:
Amir b. Sharahil Sha'bi Sha'b Hamdan reported that he asked Fatima, daughter of Qais and sister of ad-Dahhak b. Qais and she was the first amongst the emigrant women: Narrate to me a hadith which you had heard directly from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and there is no extra link in between them. She said: Very well, if you like, I am prepared to do that, and he said to her: Well, do It and narrate that to me. She said: I married the son of Mughira and he was a chosen young man of Quraish at that time, but he fell as a martyr in the first Jihad (fighting) on the side of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). When I became a widow, 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf, one amongst the group of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), sent me the proposal of marriage. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) also sent me such a message for his freed slave Usama b. Zaid. And it had been conveyed to me that Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) had said (about Usama): He who loves me should also love Usima. When Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) talked to me (about this matter), I said: My affairs are in your hand. You may marry me to anyone whom you like. He said: You better shift now to the house of Umm Sharik, and Umm Sharik was a rich lady from amongst the Anqir. She spent generously for the cause of Allah and entertained guests very hospitably. I said: Well, I will do as you like. He said: Do not do that for Umm Sharik is a woman who is very frequently vizited by guests and I do not like that your head may be uncovered or the cloth may be removed from your shank and the strangers may catch sight of them which you abhor. You better shift to the house of your cousin 'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. Umm Maktum and he is a person of the Bani Fihr branch of the Quraish, and he belonged to that tribe (to which Fatima) belonged. So I shifted to that house, and when my period of waiting was over, I heard the voice of an announcer making an announcement that the prayer would be observed in the mosque (where) congregational prayer (is observed).
So I set out towards that mosque and observed prayer along with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and I was in the row of the women which was near the row of men. When Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit smiling and said: Every worshipper should keep sitting at his place. He then said: Do you know why I had asked you to assemble? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: By Allah. I have not made you assemble for exhortation or for a warning, but I have detained you here, for Tamim Dari, a Christian, who came and accepted Islam, told me something, which agrees with what I was-telling, you about the Antichrist. He narrated to me that he had sailed in a ship along with thirty men of Bani Lakhm and Bani Judham and had been tossed by waves in the ocean for a month. Then these (waves) took them (near) the land within the ocean (island) at the time of sunset. They sat in a small side-boat and entered that Island. There was a beast with long thick hair (and because of these) they could not distinguish his face from his back. They said: Woe to you, who can you be? Thereupon it said: I am al-Jassasa. They said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: O people, go to this person in the monastery as he is very much eager to know about you. He (the narrator) said: When it named a person for us we were afraid of it lest it should be a Devil. Then we hurriedly went on till we came to that monastery and found a well-built person there with his hands tied to his neck and having iron shackles between his two legs up to the ankles. We said: Woe be upon thee, who are you? And he said: You would soon come to know about me but tell me who are you. We said: We are people from Arabia and we embarked upon a boat but the sea-waves had been driving us for one month and they brought as near this island. We got into the side-boats and entered this island and here a beast met us with profusely thick hair and because of the thickness of his hair his face could not be distinguished from his back. We said: Woe be to thee, who are you? It said: I am al- Jassasa. We said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: You go to this very person in the monastery for he is eagerly waiting for you to know about you. So we came to you in hot haste fearing that that might be the Devil. He (that chained person) said: Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baisan. We said: About what aspect of theirs do you seek information? He said: I ask you whether these trees bear fruit or not.
We said: Yes. Thereupon he said: I think these would not bear fruits. He said: Inform me about the lake of Tabariyya? We said: Which aspect of it do you want to know? He said: Is there water in it? They said: There is abundance of water in it. Thereupon he said: I think it would soon become dry. He again said: Inform me about the spring of Zughar. They said: Which aspect of it you want to know? He (the chained person) said: Is there water in it and does it irrigate (the land)? We said to him: Yes, there is abundance of water in it and the inhabitants (of Medina) irrigate (land) with the help of it, He said: Inform me about the unlettered Prophet; what has he done? We said: He has come out from Makkah and has settled In Yathrib (Madinah). He said: Do the Arabs fight against him? We said: Yes. He said: How did they deal with him? We informed him that he had overcome those in his neighbourhood and they had submitted themselves before him. Thereupon he said to us: Had it actually happened? We said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If it is so that is better for them that they should show obedience to him. I am going to tell you about myself and I am the MESSIAH (Antichrist) and would be soon permitted to get out and so I shall get out and travel in the land, and will not spare any town where I would not stay for forty nights except Makkah and Madinah as these two (places) are prohibited (areas) for me and I would not make an attempt to enter any one of these two. An angel with a sword in his hand would confront me and would bar my way and there would be angels to guard every passage leading to it; then Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) striking the pulpit with the help of the end of his staff said: This implies Taiba meaning Madinah. Have I not, told you an account (of the Antichrist) like this? 'The people said: Yes, and this account narrated by Tamim Dari was liked by me for it corroborates the account which I gave to you in regard to him (Antichrist) at Madinah and Makkah. Behold he (Antichrist) is in the Syrian sea (Mediterranean) or the Yemen sea (Arabian sea). Nay, on the contrary, he is in the east, he is in the east, he is in the east, and he pointed with his hand towards the east. I (Fatima bint Qais) said: I preserved it In my mind (this narration from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).

Book 041, Number 7029:
Al-Sha'bi reported: We visited Fatima b. Qais and she served us fresh dates which are called rutab and she also served us barley. I asked her about that woman in whose case three divorces had been pronounced as to how much time she should count as the waiting period. She said: My husband pronounced three divorces in my case and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) permitted me to spend any waiting period in my family. (It was during this period) that announcement was made for the people to observe prayer in the bigger Mosque. I went there along with people and I was in the front row meant for women and it was adjacent to the last row of men and I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) deliver sermon sitting on the pulpit. He said: The cousin of Tamim (Dari) sailed in the ocean. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this addition:" (I see) as if I am looking to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) pointing his rod towards the land (and saying): It is Taiba, i. e. Medina."

Book 041, Number 7030:
Tamim Dari came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and informed Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) that he sailed in an ocean and his ship lost direction and thus landed at an island. They moved about in that land in search of water. There they saw a person who had been pulling his hair. The rest of the hadith is the same. And he (Antichrist) said: If I were to be permitted to set out I would have covered all the lands except Taiba. Then Allah's Messerger (may peace be upon him) brought (Tamim Dari) before the public and he narrated to them and said: That is Taiba and that is the Antichrist.

Book 041, Number 7031:
Fatima b. Qais reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) sat on the pulpit and said: O people, Tamim Dari has reported to me that some persons of his tribe sailed in the ocean in a boat and it capsized and then some of them travelled on one of the planks of the boat and they went to an island in the ocean. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Book 041, Number 7032:
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There will be no land which would not be covered by the Antichrist but Makkah and Madinah, and there would no passage out of the passages leading to them which would not be guarded by angels arranged in rows. Then he (the Antichrist) would appear in a barren place adjacent to Madinah and it would rock three times that every unbeliever and hypocrite would get out of it towards him.

Book 041, Number 7033:
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Anas that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said this but with this addition that (the Antichrist would come) and pitch his tent in the waste-land of Juruf and thus there would come out of (the city) every hypocrite, man and woman.

THE REMAINING NARRATIONS PERTAINING TO THE ANTICHRIST

Book 041, Number 7034:
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Antichrist would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls.

Book 041, Number 7035:
Umm Sharik reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The people would run away from the Antichrist seeking shelter in the mountains. She said: Where would be the Arabs then in that day? He said: They would be small in number.

Book 041, Number 7036:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Juraij with the same chain of transmitters.

Book 041, Number 7037:
Abu Qatada reported: We used to go to Imran b. Husain passing in front of Hisham b. 'Amir. He, one day, said: You pass by me (in order) to go to some persons but (amongst the living persons) none remained in the company of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) more than I and none knows more narrations than I. I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There would be no creation (creating more trouble) than the Antichrist right from the creation of Adam to the Last Hour.
