The Signs of Emergence of Imam Mahdi (AJ)
The Signs of Emergence of Imam Mahdi (AJ)
A Hadith from Imam Baqir (A):
I asked Imam Baqir (A), when will Imam Mahdi (AJ) Emerge?
Imam (A) replied:
When men make themselves like women
And women make themselves like men
And men marry men
And women marry women
And women ride in the saddles
And false testimonies are accepted
And the testimonies of righteous people are not accepted
And it becomes easy for people to shed blood
And committing adultery
And usury becomes normal
And the wicked people are respected for fear of their speech and actions
And “Sufyani” emerge from Sham (current Syria area)
And “Yamani” emerge from Yemen
And sinking and eclipse occurs
And the killing of a young man from the family of Prophet Muhammad (S) happens between the pillar and the position (Mecca), whose name is Muhammad ibn Hassan or “Nafs Zakiyah”
And the heavenly voice from the sky which says that he (Imam Mahdi (AJ) and his Shia’s followers are right
This is when our “Qaim” (Imam Mahdi (AJ)) emerges
And when he appears, he will lean on the house of the Ka’bah (Mecca) and three hundred and thirteen righteous people will gather around him, and his first words are this verse of the Holy Quran: “What remains [lawful] from Allah is best for you, if you would be believers” (Hud:86)
Then he says: I am the remainder of God on earth, and I am the caliph of God and His authority (Hojjat) over you
People greet him as follow:
Peace be upon you, the remainder of God on earth (السلام علیک یا بقیه الله فی ارضه)
