but none-the-less do it, because this is bad behavior towards the Prophet, praise and
peace be upon him.
Question:
If the Day of Judgement comes after Al Mahdi and Jesus, and the Religion of Islam has
been described, what is the meaning of the saying of the Holy Prophet, praise and
peace be upon him: "Islam started strangely and will return as it started."

Answer:
The Hadith is:
"Islam started strangely
and will return as strangely as it started."
This Hadith is reported amongst those classified as 'mutawatira'. The Holy Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, referred to this time because Islam is a stranger in it and
will remain as it is. Its strangeness will increase until Al Mahdi comes, then Islam will
reappear and he will revive its justice. During this revival, trials and hatred will disappear
between Muslims. Then, as this time ends, a good, delicate wind will come and take the
spirit of every believer leaving no one on earth who knows Allah or remembers Him. The
remaining nations will stampede like cattle, and it is upon them that the Day of
Judgement will start. This has been reported in the authentic collection of Imam Muslim
as well as others, and Allah is the Most Knowledgeable.
FOOT NOTES
¹. Linguistically, "Mutawatira" means "successive". In Hadith terminology it means that
each Hadith has been transmitted by many Companions, which is also the same way in
which the verses of the Holy Koran were transmitted. Whosoever rejects a Hadith that
has been classified as "mutawatira" becomes an unbeliever.
². When the average reader hears the phrase "Al Hafiz", he or she automatically
associates it with the person who remembers all of the Koran by heart. However, when it
is used in reference to Hadith it bears the meaning of the highest authority in Hadith
Science.
³. The Arabic word "Masiih" = the Messiah.
The Arabic word "Masiikh" = the false messiah, which is equivalent in pronunciation to
the Hebrew word "Moshiakh" which means the Messiah.
When the Arabic language is compared to the Hebrew, it is found that the Arabic letter 's'
is equal to that of the Hebrew 'sh', as in the Arabic word 'Salaam' and the Hebrew word
'Shalom' both of which mean peace. The Jews await the coming of the 'Moshiakh' to
lead them, therefore one understands the Jews will follow the false messiah, and once
again reject Jesus who is the true Messiah.
⁴. Plural of 'Hafiz'.
⁵. Also the Shi'ite scholars. Mentioned on page 5. maybe renumber superscript?
⁶. The pilgrimage seasons
⁷. Sunnah, the teachings and ways of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him
⁸. The Family of the Holy Prophet, praise and peace be upon them
⁹. The Arabic word 'yuslihu' means forgive him, give him success and the inspiration of
wisdom and guidance, the like
peace be upon him.
