Christians Must Heed Jesus
Chapter 6:
Some Christians’ Error Regarding Armageddon
The End Times is When the Corruption of the Antichrist will Take Place
We are now living in the End Times. This important period is the last time before the Day of Judgment. This blessed age is described in detail in the hadiths of our Prophet (pbuh) and in passages from the Gospel and the Torah. This period before the Day of Judgment, the End Times, will be when the corruption of the antichrist, disasters, oppression, disorder and unhappiness, slaughter, war, degeneration, economic crises, material collapse, terror and violence will all reach the most intense levels and all people will seek a savior from them. A great many people will spread evil in this time, will tend to forget God and religious observances and will seek false solutions to problems through war, slaughter and evil, and will cause all manner of disorder and corruption.
With the spread of the corruption of the antichrist in the End Times, disasters being visited on societies and people begging God for a savior, our Lord will send us the holy individuals of the End Times. These holy personages are Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). With their coming, peace will descend on the earth, the corruption of the antichrist will disappear and there will come a Golden Age, the like of which has never been seen before. Wars will come to an end in this time, not a drop of blood will be shed, there will be no use for guns and other weapons, and nobody will be oppressed any more. Hazrat Mahdi will bring an environment of peace to the world.
He will rule with justice and not so much as wake anyone who is asleep. This great and important truth is revealed thus in the hadiths of our Prophet (pbuh):
People will seek refuge in Hazrat Mahdi as honeybees cluster around their sovereign. He will fill the world that was once full of cruelty with justice. His justice will be as such that he will not wake a sleeping person or even shed one drop of blood. The world almost turns to the time of the Age of Bliss. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, pp. 29 and 48)
In his [Hazrat Mahdi's] time no one will be woken up from their sleep or have a bleeding nose. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 44)
Those swearing allegiance to him [Hazrat Mahdi] will swear allegiance between Rock and Pillar (around Ka'bah). They never wake a sleeping person, never shed blood. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 24)
There will be no war in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh):
The (components of) battle will abandon its load (arms and equipment). (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/334)
(The components of) war will abandon its load (namely, arms and the like). (Al-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 496)
He will do away with enmity and hatred... The world will be filled with peace as a bowl is filled with water. There will be unity of religion, and none other than God will thenceforth be worshiped. War will also relinquish its burden. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/334)
There will be no more enmity between anyone. And all enmity, conflict and envy will disappear. (Ash-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 496)
All evils will disappear and be replaced by goodness in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh):
Through Hazrat Mahdi's love, compassion, moral virtue and profound faith, his time will be one when "the goodness of good people increases, and even the wicked are treated well." (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 17)
Earth will be filled with peace just like water fills the pot. No hostility will remain and all hostilities, quarrels, envy will absolutely vanish. (Sahih Muslim, 1/136)
The Torah also reveals that wars will come to an end in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh):
.. In the last days... He [the Lord]... will settle disputes for many peoples... Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. (Isaiah, 2:2-4; Micah, 4:1-3)
I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the warhorses from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be broken.... (Zechariah, 9:10)
In that Era [in the era of Hazrat Mahdi]... there will be no starvation or war, jealousy or enmity... (Maimonides, Mishnah Torah, Laws of Kings 12:5)
... Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety. (Hosea, 2:18)
... I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid... and the sword will not pass through your country. (Leviticus, 26:5-6)
... "Burn them [the weapons] up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears... They will use them for fuel"... declares the Sovereign Lord. (Ezekiel, 39:9-10)
... They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.... (Isaiah 2:4; Micah, 4:3)
