The emergence of a man from Amsu (Al-Harith bin Harith) paving the way for his sultanate.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A man will emerge from beyond the river, called Al-Harith bin Harith... paving the way for the family of Muhammad." (Abu Dawood) And this man is Osama bin Laden, for Osama and Al-Harith are names of lions, and Al-Harith is a class of Hadrami people to whom Ibn Laden belongs. He emerged from Afghanistan, which is the land beyond the river, and he established the Black Banners with his wealth and effort, which paved the way for the Mahdi's sultanate.
The flow of the Turks into the Arabian Peninsula and their conflict with the Romans.
From Ammar bin Yasir, he said: "Your Prophet's family has signs, so stay on the land until the Turks flow." (Al-Nu'aym) In another narration: "Until the Turks flow upon you and enter the Peninsula." The Peninsula here refers to regions in Syria. If it means the Arabian Peninsula, then Syria is included within it. Whoever means Khuz and Kerman, they are Turks, and they are the Russians. And whoever means the Turks today, although the former is more accurate, because it is Russia that gathers soldiers to Syria today (for interests). As in the narration: "When the Turks flow upon you, and armies are prepared against you." (Al-Aqd by Al-Maqdisi). Both of these have come to pass.
The emergence of Asis from Abyssinia.
It is narrated: "A man came from Abyssinia called Asis or Asbis, and he caused great chaos." (Al-Nu'aym) This narration is mentioned in the discussion of the end times in Al-Nu'aym. We can say that this figure is Asis Afwerki, and his emergence preceded the great chaos. Thus, it would be a sign preceding the Mahdi. And this was so. The meaning of Abyssinia is not limited only to Ethiopia today, but includes Eritrea. The important thing is that he took charge of leadership or presidency in Abyssinia, and he is hostile to the Arabs. This has come to pass, and major world powers, including America and Israel, have sided with him. He emerged, and the incident of the occupation of the Greater and Lesser Hanish Islands, belonging to Yemen, occurred.
The war of the Arabs and Muslims against Russia.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "You will make a secure truce with the Romans, and you and they will fight an enemy from behind you." (Abu Dawood) And it is narrated: "...Then you and the Romans will also fight some of the people of the East, and you will be victorious over them." (Al-Nu'aym) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "There will be a truce and peace between the Muslims and the Romans, until they fight with them an enemy that is theirs, and they will share their spoils with them." (Al-Nu'aym) The truce between the Muslims and the Romans (America and Europe) has come to pass, with the alliance of most Arabs with America and Europe.
Then there will be a war against some of the people of the East, and this has come to pass in the Afghan war against Russia, and they are people of the East.
A sign in the sky in the shape of a hand.
From Saeed bin Al-Musayyab, he said: "There will be division and disagreement until a hand appears from the sky, and a caller calls out, 'Behold, your leader is so-and-so.'" (Al-Nu'aym) And it is narrated: "A hand will appear from the sky, pointing to the Mahdi." (Muhammad Issa) And it is narrated: "And the Mahdi will have a clear sign from the sky, and a similar one on earth in Al-Suwayya." (Hand of the five-fingered one) (Muhammad Issa) And this is what has come to pass. Division and fragmentation have occurred. NASA, the American space agency, has detected a mass of neutron stars formed in the shape of a hand, surrounding another solid mass, using telescopes from different parts of the Earth from 2004/11/23 to 2005/10/12, which corresponds to the Hijri date from 1425 Dhu al-Qi'dah to 1426 Ramadan. The images taken by the observatory show that this hand is extending towards the East.
A sign in the sky, which is a luminous tail.
From Ka'b, he said: "A celestial body will appear from the East before the emergence of the Mahdi, with a luminous tail." (Al-Aqd by Al-Maqdisi) From Ka'b, that he said: "A celestial body will appear from the East before the emergence of the Mahdi, with a tail." (Al-Nu'aym) And Ka'b said: "It is a celestial body that appears from the East, and it illuminates the people of the Earth like the illumination of the moon on the night of the full moon." (Al-Nu'aym) From Ibn Mas'ud: "There will be a sign in Safar, and a celestial body with a tail will begin to appear." (Al-Nu'aym) And the appearance of the comet has come to pass. The light of Halley's Comet was like the light of the moon between 1985 and 1986. As well as Comet Ison in Safar in 2013.
Lunar eclipse and solar eclipse, which is darkness.
