Just curious, what's the update with Mahdi(as)? Are the sufi's and shaykhs saying anything else?

Salam 'Alaykum,

It seems that every year Sufis and Shaykhs make predictions of the Mahdi, and every year they are proved wrong. The point is that they are making these prediictions either on the basis of kashf (unveiling), or on the basis of ijtihad, and neither source is infallible. So we should take everything they say on this subject with caution.

Wa al-Salam,

[Omar HH]

I have learned that we can take all of these predictions which contradict each other with different years to have at least one thing we can say has some basis: many people believe the Mahdi is coming "soon" (and "soon" is up for interpretation).

was Salam.

Well one of his signs is going to be that we all start to talk about him..ahem! lol! people have been talking about the Mehdi for years.

Now a few years back on Egyptian TV they started a show that interpreted dreams. So this one lady comes and says she saw a dream where the sun and moon were "feeding" one another. This dream so happened to be interepreted as that the Mehdi has been born.

I guess people believe what they want to believe in the end time will only tell. So Allahu Alim

Yes indeed, I remember reading about that too. It was around 2004 or 2005 I think.

If that is so, then the Mahdi won't actually APPEAR so to speak until another 30 to 40 years, i.e. around 2040. So we have a long time to wait until then.

As I have mentioned many times before, people should beware of these predictions that he's coming this year or next year etc., as according to the relevant ahadith and athar, there are quite a few crucial events that need to take place before the appearance of the Mahdi, the vast majority of which have not yet occurred. Wallahu a'lam.

2 things to wait and look for are that Turkey will be attacked (a big attack) and that Saudi Arabia will be in a civil war. Awliyah get signs but never know the exact time. If they told their murids what they know .. the murids would get lazy. So they tell you struggle against your nafs and purify your batini actions. Don' think Awliyah don't know they give hints. From the deobandis to barelwis to others all of them are saying time is soon. So lets wait and see.
