Mohammed's Prophecies of the Imam Mahdi (VANITY)

Banking on Imam Mahdi

Imam Mahdi is becoming commercialized just like Jesus has in the West

Advertising in a newspaper in Iran, November 2000.

Translators?

For our Mahdi, there are two signs. Since the birth of Universe, these events have never taken place. Those two signs are that there will be Lunar Eclipse on the first night of Ramadhan and Solar Eclipse in the middle of Ramadhan.

OK astronomy buffs. We should be able to calculate when this will occur. When is it?

He will fill the earth with justice as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. He will rule for seven years.
(Abu Dawud, Sahih, Vol. 2, p. 208; Fusul al-muhimma, p. 275)

Hmmmm. Sound familiar? Anyone?

Hint: Substitute 'peace' for 'justice'.

[PRND21]

15. Once all these signs appear, the Christians will have control over all the countries. At that time, a person from the progeny of Abu Sufyân will be born. He will kill many sayyids and exercise his power and rule over Syria and Egypt. In the meantime, the Muslim ruler of Byzantine will wage a war with a group of Christians and make peace with another group. The warring group will invade Istanbul and rule over it. The ruler of Istanbul will flee to Syria, join forces with that group with which he had made peace, and engage in a severe war with the warring group. The Muslim army will gain victory. Within a few days, one of the Christians who had helped the Muslim ruler will come to the latter and tell him that we gained victory through the blessing of our "cross". The Muslim will reply that we gained victory through the blessing of Islam. This conversation will get more serious to the extent that each person (the Muslim and the Christian) will call his followers and a fight will ensue. The Muslim ruler will be martyred and Syria will also fall under the rule of these Christians. This Christian group will make peace with the group that was at war with the Muslims (in the beginning). The few Muslims who are left will go to Madinah. The Christians will exercise their power and rule up to Khaybar (a place outside Madinah).

The Muslims will then decide to search for Imam Mahdi so that they may overcome all these difficulties. At that time he will be in Madinah, but out of fear of being made ruler, he will go away to Makkah. All the pious people of that time will search for him. Many imposters will claim to be Imam Mahdi. But the genuine Imam Mahdi will be making tawâf of the Ka'bah and will be between the Hajr-e-Aswad and the Maqâm-e-Ibrâhîm. A few pious people will recognize him and impose upon him to become the ruler and they will give him the bay'ah. While giving him the bay'ah, a voice from the skies will come down and it will be heard by all those who will be present over there. This voice will say that this person is the khalîfah of Allah (i.e. he has been chosen to be the ruler) and that he is Imam Mahdi.

Ramadan's coming up. Even if it's not this year astronomically, he could fake the rest if he's got a good audience, a "miraculous" entrance, and a timely release of a WMD in America.

Bet you half the moslems here would join.

I think they're talking about Mecca Striesand from a South Park Episode????

[harpseal]

I guess this means Victoria rules.

"OK astronomy buffs. We should be able to calculate when this will occur. When is it?"

Not sure about the next time, but according to this, the last time it occurred was in 1894.

An Eclipsed Fraud
or A Fraud of Eclipse?

"Similarly if he asks that your Prophet had prophecised that at the time of appearance of Imam Mahdi, moon will get eclipsed in the first day of the days of its eclipse and sun will eclipse in the middle date of Ramadhan and these two eclipses took place in the Ramadhan of 1894 but there is no sign of Imam Mahdi ?

You will have nothing to say except silence or embarassment."

[Sabertooth]

"I guess this means Victoria rules."

No arguement here.

[TopDog2]

Ok. I looked it up myself. According to The US Naval Observatory, here are the upcoming solar and lunar eclipses. If ramadan is in November, looks like we have a match in November 2003 (lunar eclipse followed two weeks later by a solar eclipse).

"If ramadan is in November, looks like we have a match in November 2003 (lunar eclipse followed two weeks later by a solar eclipse). "

Take a look at December of this year...

• 2001 December 14 - annular solar eclipse (see map)

• 2001 December 30 - penumbral lunar eclipse (see data sheet)

So, if we bomb during Ramadan, they delay throwing our the first pitch, rescheduling for December. Flip flop the eclipses...

What d'ya got?

[TopDog2]

Well, according to the prophecy posted, the lunar comes first and then the solar. ramadan is in November this year. I don't think that they can change the date of that at this late date.

[Sabertooth]

" I don't think that they can change the date of that at this late date."

We're talking about people who believe the World Trade Center was brought down by Zionists.

[AlGone2001]

From your link:

He will fill the world with justice and fairness at a time when the world will be filled with oppression. He will rule for seven years." Back to the drawing board, I guess?

[TopDog2]

According to the website, Ramadan Eclipses, the next time there is a double total eclipse (solar and lunar) is in 2003.

This site also explains that a ramadan with two central (total) eclipses (Table 2) is supposed to portend a very special event.

[TopDog2]

It just accured to me. If we accept that osama believes this prophecy, we can look at it and it will help us to anticipate his next moves. If he wants to be the 12th iman, then he will want be revealed in November of 2003. Looking at what he has to do before then will let us know where is is going to be. Should we tip the FBI on this?

Welcome to the Sietch MadIvan!!

The answer is "never". In the Moslem calendar, the month always begins with the sighting of the new moon. So the first night of Ramadan will always fall on a new moon, when a lunar eclipse is impossible.

By the way, almost all Moslems deny the authenticity of this hadith. It was first recorded by Amr bin Shamir, who was a notorious liar, and his attribution of the saying to "Mohammed bin Ali", ie Imam Baqir, is almost certainly fraudulent.
