THE ARTIFICAL RAIN OF THE FALSE MESSIAH

1859

“The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, mentioned the anti-Christ one morning and described him, lowering our expectation, then raising it, until we thought he might already be present in a nearby date-palm grove.

When we returned to him and he noticed our prior concern he asked us, ‘What is troubles you?’ We replied, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, you spoke about the anti-Christ this morning and lowered expectations, then raised them until we thought he might be present in one of the date-palm groves.’ He said, ‘It was something other than the anti-Christ that makes me fear for you. I do not fear for you regarding the anti-Christ. If he appears while I am among you I will be your defender against him, but if he appears when I am not among you then each of you must defend himself. Allah will be the guardian of every Muslim in my place.

He (the anti-Christ) is a young man with coarse hair and an eye that floats like a grape. I think that he might resemble Abdul Uzza the son of Katan. Whosoever encounters him from among you should recite to him the opening verses of the chapter Al-Kahf (Chapter 18 The Cave 1-10). He will emerge from the road between Syria and Iraq and will cause destruction and blood-shed left and right. O worshipers of Allah remain firm!’

We asked him, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, how long will he remain on the earth?’ He answered, ‘Forty days. One of his days will be like a year, one will be like a month, one will be like a week and the rest of his days will be like your days.’

We asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, on the day which will be like a year, will it suffice for us to observe the prayers of one day?’ He answered, ‘No, you should estimate of the passage of time.’

We asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, what will be the speed of his movement in the earth?’ He answered, ‘Like a cloud left behind the wind (prophecy of air travel).’

He will approach people and invite them, and they will respond by believing in him. He will command the sky and it will send down (artificial) rain on the people. He will command the earth (mobile, hydroponic technology and bakeries) and it will produce green herbage for them; cattle will return in the evening with firm humps, full udders and fattened sides.

Then he will come to another people and invite them to obey him, but they will reject his call and he will turn away from them. They will be stricken with drought and famine and then become destitute.

He (the anti-Christ) will pass through desert places and will call on them to bring forth their treasures and their treasures will follow him like wasps.

He will call a man in the prime of his youth and (magically) strike him with his sword cutting him into two pieces. The pieces will be separated from each other the distance of an arrow. Then he will summon him and the youth will respond coming with a cheerful, smiling face.

While he (the anti-Christ) is doing this, Allah, the Exalted, will send the Messiah, (Jesus) son of Mary who will descend near a white minaret to the East of Damascus, wearing two yellow dyed garments, his hands resting on the wings of two angels. As he bends his head, droplets of water will fall from it and when he raises it there will be drops like pearls falling from it. It is not permitted for any unbeliever to find the fragrance of his breath except that he dies, and his breath will reach as far as his sight reaches.

He will pursue the anti-Christ and will find him at the Gate of Lud and will kill him. Jesus will then come to the people whom Allah had shielded from the anti-Christ. He will wipe away the dust from their faces and will inform them of their ranks in Paradise.

At that time Allah, the High will reveal to Jesus: ‘I have brought out some of My worshipers with whom no one is able to withstand. Therefore lead these, My worshipers, to Mount Tur (Sinai).’ Allah will then raise Gog and Magog and they are let loose and slide down out of every slope (see Koran Ch.21:96). Their advance groups will pass over Lake Tabariah and consume all its water and when its rear groups pass near it they will say, 'At one time there was water here.'

The Prophet of Allah, Jesus, and his companions will be besieged until a bull's head will appear better to them than a hundred dinars appear to you today.

Then the Prophet of Allah, Jesus the Messiah, and his companions will pray to Allah, the Exalted, and supplicate to Him and He will create worms in the necks of the people of Gog and Magog from which they will all die in the morning like the victims of lions.

After this Jesus, the Prophet of Allah, and his companions will descend from the Mount but will not be able to find even the space of a span of a hand free among the corpses of the followers of Gog and Magog - and their stench!

Then Jesus, the Prophet of Allah, and his companions will supplicate to Allah, the Mighty, the High, and He will send birds as large as the necks of camels which will carry off the corpses and drop them wherever Allah wills.

After this Allah, the Mighty, the Glorified, will send down rain whereby every dwelling, whether it is constructed from clay or hair, will be cleansed and become like a mirror.

Then the earth will be commanded to produce its fruits and to return its blessings, in such a way that a party of people will be sufficed by sharing just one pomegranate and shelter will be found under the shade of its peel.

Allah will bless the newly birthing camels in its milk that it will suffice a large group of people and the milk of a cow will suffice a tribe and the milk of a goat will suffice a branch of a tribe.

While they are in this condition Allah, the High, will send a pure breeze which will take the Muslims under their armpits whereby the soul of every believer and every Muslim will pass away.

After this only the worst people will be left who will copulate with women openly, unabashed like donkeys. It is on such people the Hour will commence.

Muslim with a chain up to Nawas the son of Sam'an who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
