In the shades of Akaabir

Merit or Flaw
Though the main focus of this book is held upon matters of dajjal, this topic of Dajjaliyaat2 has been
delayed until its final chapters. Firstly it will establish knowledge of both Hadhrat Imam Mahdi (May
Allah be pleased with him) and Hadhrat Isa alyahi salam. Mention of these great personalities prior to
the mention of Dajjal has been deliberate. It is against the nature of shari’ah for emphasis to be placed
upon the power of evil without mention of the good which throws this evil. Therefore it will be wise to
follow the order of the book and educate oneself with two major topics of Mahdawiyyat3 and
Maseehiyaat before progressing to the focal one of Dajjaliyaat. Consequently Maseeh al Huda4 will
precede Maseeh Adh-dhalaalah5

With the quality of various books, one will find a very attractive index entailing a number of
beneficial topics which fail to be addressed sufficiently within the book, this however is a variation
from the nature of this book which may not hold such outward attractions yet the content holds
rewarding and extremely favourable additions in comparison to its moderate index.

Doubts and complexities

The final concern within this topic is the immense nature of the hidden uncertainties one finds within
the ambiguity of Signs of Qiyamah. Firstly, the difficulties faced in allocating these signs in accordance
with their times is a rather complex task and though opinion on this maybe formed by unanimous and
fitting speculation, when the reality of these events occur the initial consensus may seem far fetching.
These mentioned factors may seem somewhat interesting but the task of Tatbeeq will remain an
arduous one.

The author of this book has presented all that is within his capability, holding onto the Daman of
ahtiyat and taking shelter under the explanations of akaabir. Though utmost care has been taken in the
desire to perform Asri Tatbeeq of hadith, preference has not been given to dubious interpretations nor
has an attempt been made to mould them to specific circumstances. Apparent meaning has been
preferred without attachment to any one view in particular.

As we progress and acknowledge the subject being addressed, questions may arise as to why it wasn’t put forward earlier; if
we are approaching the closing stages and the fitnah of this period is of such importance then we may ask why this subject
matter hasn’t been spoken of previously? Was this for a genuine reason or was it left out of fear? Was it a deliberate attempt
to be missed and not given attention to or was it unintentional? Such questioning itself is very thoughtful and with time the
answers will surface adequately within the first chapter of the book. That which has been within the capabilities of us
limited people we have carried out. Ultimately, who other than Allah subhanahu wata’ala alone knows about his affairs?
Other than begging Allah and treating his servants with earnestness what do we beggars hold?

Discrepancy in Agreement

It should be understood that the three heavenly religions; Islam, Judaism and Christianity, who make up the majority of the
world population, are waiting for a personality who is due to come in the closing stages. He will prove to be the ultimate
saviour of all humanity and though all heavenly ummahs accept this promised messiah, there is much discrepancy in his
detail.
The Muslims are waiting for Hadhrat Isa Alayhi salam’s descent from the heavens. Within their doctrine this promised
individual will be responsible for the onslaught of Dajjal after his appearance. The cross will no longer be a symbol of faith
and the eating of pigs will be abandoned. Tax will be abolished and the world will be ruled under a just Islamic system.

for the onslaught of Dajjal after his appearance. The cross will no longer be a symbol of faith and the eating of pigs will be
abandoned. Tax will be abolished and the world will be ruled under a just Islamic system.
According to the Christian doctrine, Isa alyhi salam (Jesus) will appear before them, they will be lifted to the skies
witnessing the end of all non-Christians.
Muslims do not believe Isa Alyhi salam was crucified nor that he suffered mischief from Jews. After his arrival, all Zionists
will be defeated, Zionist Christians and Jews alike. The Christians of true devotion will convert to Islam at the hands of
Hadhrat Isa alayhi salam.
The Jewish belief entails anticipation of The Awaited One since the time of Dawood Alyhi salam. According to their
principles of faith, they will rule the entire world and through this awaited personality a universal Jewish state will be
formed. All non Jews will submit to their beliefs and refinement process will proceed leaving a population of subservience.

The Last Battle

Between the three ummahs, there is common expectation of a destructive war which will cause the eradication of two
thirds of the world’s population. This great battle is known as Umm al-ma3aarik.6 The remaining population will gain
exclusive sovereignty of the whole world.

The above information awakens further curiosity; which nation will gain this power? Which religion will hold such
influential significance?

However this decision is yet to be made. Its location is a place near Palestine in a valley known as Armageddon. People
of the west, both Christians and Jews have been preparing for this battle, they are awaiting a huge outburst; this eruption
will come alive due to the falling of Dome of The Rock.
