Followers, and Wadlraq (which is outside the law), and these are the characteristics of (the requirements of the Iraqi chest), and how much the people of Iraq have suffered from afflictions from their soldiers.

The siege of Iraq is like the siege of Sham. Jabir bin Abdullah said: "It is almost that the people of Iraq will not receive a Qafiz nor a Dirham. We said: From where is that? He said: From the Persians, they will prevent that. Then he said: It is almost that the people of Sham will not receive a Dinar nor a Mudd. We said: From where is that? He said: From the Romans. Then he was silent for a while, then he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "There will be a Caliph in the end of my Ummah who will distribute wealth abundantly without counting it." (Sahih Muslim) - The Qafiz is a measure of ancient weights, a symbol of the prevention of food and human necessities. The Dirham and Dinar are symbols of money and trade exchange.

- The siege begins with Iraq, then with Sham, and it is from the Romans (Europe and America).

- If this siege occurs to Iraq and Sham, the Mahdi will be alive, but his matter has not appeared, as indicated by the word (then), which suggests a close succession without delay, and the time of the siege indicates that the required sign is (the year), and as the linguists said: its duration is 40 years, and this was during the siege of Iraq from 1980 to 2000, and this is 20 years, so this is the required one. Because Iraq has been besieged many times.

Increase in killings in Iraq From Abu Jaafar Muhammad bin Ali, he said: "The Mahdi will not appear until a sedition encompasses the people in Sham, and they seek a way out of it and do not find it, and there will be killings in Kufa and Hilla." (Al-Aqd by Al-Maqdisi) And from the close signs of the appearance of the Mahdi: If the killing increases in Iraq, then the relief will be to complete the rule of the Mahdi, peace be upon him, and this has been achieved.

Signs in Sham: Wars and seditions From Saeed bin Al-Musayyib, he said: "There will be a sedition in Sham, the beginning of which is like the play of children. Whenever it subsides in one direction, it flares up in another, and it will not cease until a caller calls from the sky: 'Behold, the Amir is so-and-so.'" (Al-Aqd by Al-Maqdisi) - It is a sedition and events in Syria. Other texts have specified the place in the Levant.

- After the events in Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen, children no older than fifteen years emerged, writing "Bashar, go away." These children were imprisoned and tortured until some of them died. They were students from the Al-Arbaeen school in Daraa. Then the guardians of the children emerged in demonstrations to release their children from prison. The families were met with bullets and violence, which was met with counter-violence, and the Syrian sedition ignited.

- It will not end except with the appearance of the Mahdi, so the time of the Mahdi is very close to the Syrian sedition.

- "Whenever it subsides in one direction, it flares up in another": meaning it will not calm down at all until the Mahdi comes, and whenever it calms down in one place, it flares up in another. This is what is happening in the Syrian events.

Bashar Al-Assad: From Al-Zuhri, he said: "... Then a man from them will follow him, whose name is the same as his father's name, and his name has eight letters. He is like a hunchback, with thin arms and legs, a broad head, and sunken eyes. People will perish after him." (Al-Fitan by Nu'aym) Al-Zuhri said: His name and his father's name have eight letters.

- The word "from them" means: as if it is talking about a party, a group, a faction... The father and son are from the same group, the Syrian Ba'ath Party.

- (Hafiz + Bashar) His name and his father's name have eight letters.

- Hunchback: meaning his shoulders are like the position of the hunchback on the skin, slightly curved downwards. Thin arms: slender limbs, so they are thin. Broad head: broad-headed. Sunken eyes: whose eyes are inwards, towards the inside of the head. These are the characteristics of (President Hafiz Al-Assad), and he is one of the Sufyanis.
