Yasir Mahdi Biography & Facts

In Islam, the day of judgement (or Arabic: یوم الدین, romanized: Yawm ad-din, lit. 'Day of Judgement') is the time when all human beings are raised from the dead to be judged by Allah as to whether they shall spend eternity in Jannah (Paradise) or in Jahannam (Hellfire). Belief in the existence of Judgment Day is considered a fundamental aspect of faith by all Muslims, and one of the six articles of faith. While interpretations of what the Quran and hadith say about the end times are "diverse and complex", the signs of Judgment Day's arrival include disruptions in the order of both human morality and the natural world; but also the appearance of the saviors, Mahdi and Jesus, which "is seen to represent the ultimate victory of the ummah of Islam ... in some senses". Piety will be lost as music, wine drinking, usury, homosexuality, disobedience by wives and fornication abound, and the earth will be destroyed. However during this era ʿĪsā (Jesus) and the Mahdi will also vanquish the Antichrist figure al-Dajjāl, while Allah will eliminate the monstrous Gog and Magog, liberating the world from injustice and restoring sharia. The signs have been divided into minor and major by commentators. They are reported in various ḥadīth collections, and described in commentaries of various medieval Muslim scholars, including al-Ghazali, Ibn Kathir, and Muhammad al-Bukhari, among others. Islamic apocalyptic literature describing Armageddon (or fitna) is often known as Al-Malhama Al-Kubra (The Great Epic), or (in Shia Islam) Ghaybah (Occultation). Sources The trials and tribulations associated with it are detailed in both the Quran and the hadith, (sayings of Muhammad) which are "diffuse and fragmented". These are elaborated on in creeds, Quranic commentaries (tafsịrs), and theological writing, eschatological manuals and commentaries of the Islamic expositors and scholarly authorities such as al-Ghazali, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Majah, Muhammad al-Bukhari, and Ibn Khuzaymah who explain them in more detail. The signs and many other social aberrations are detailed in such works as Muḥammad ibn Rasūl al-Ḥusaynī al-Barzinjī's al-Ishā'a li-ishrāṭ al-sā'a, and Mishkāt al-maṣābīḥ. Muqaddimah by Ibn Khaldun, is said to introduce "a full and detailed discussion of the various theories regarding the mahdi and the traditions considered most authoritative in relation to it." Quran Many verses of the Quran, especially the earlier ones, are dominated by the idea of the nearing of the Day of Judgement. When the sun is put out, and when the stars fall down, and when the mountains are blown away, and when pregnant camels are left untended, and when wild beasts are gathered together, and when the seas are set on fire, and when the souls ˹and their bodies˺ are paired ˹once more˺, and when baby girls, buried alive, are asked for what crime they were put to death, and when the records ˹of deeds˺ are laid open, and when the sky is stripped away, and when the Hellfire is fiercely flared up, and when Paradise is brought near— ˹on that Day˺ each soul will know what ˹deeds˺ it has brought along. Indication that there will be signs of its coming are found in Q.47:18: Are they only waiting for the Hour to take them by surprise? Yet ˹some of˺ its signs have already come. Once it actually befalls them, will it not be too late to be mindful? Interest in end times Traditionally interest in "apocalyptic speculation" was strongest among mainstream Shia (Twelver Shia), Isma'ili Islam, Sunni on the "doctrinal and geographic margins"—such as present day Morocco—but was weaker in the heartland of Sunni Islam. Various eschatological interpretations exist within Shia Islam. The concept of seven celestial Hells, as well as the idea that after death but before the End Times, one's soul would temporarily wait in either Paradise or Hellfire, are accounted for throughout Isma'ili Shi'i literature. Shia tradition broadly tends to recognize the coming of the Mahdi as signifying the coming punishment for non-believers. Minor signs The Minor or Lesser Signs (Ashraat al-Saa'ah al-Sughra) are "moral, cultural, political, religious, and natural events designed to warn humanity that the end is near and to bring people into a state of repentance." According to one Salafi source IslamQA.info, "For the most part", these signs will have occurred a long time before the Resurrection begins. Some of them have already happened – although they may be repeated; some of them are currently occurring; and some have not yet taken place but will. One source, Islam House, lists 50 signs, 10 of which "are past, 13 are present and 27 are future". Islamic Finder website, lists 48 signs, 9 of which are past, 13 "are happening at present", and 26 are "yet to happen". Islam Question and Answer lists 28 Minor Signs and 10 major signs. Islam Online lists similar numbers: 10 past, 13 "Present?", 27 future. Some of these signs tend to be so general that "it is possible to find indicators of them in any modern society (for example, crime, natural disaster, etc.)". The appearance of the Mahdi, (a Leading figure) is said to be a link between the minor and major signs. In the ḥadīth literature, it is mentioned that minor signs will occur first, then the Mahdi will come and then the major signs. There is debate over whether they could occur concurrently or must be at different points in time. Some sources divide the signs into those that have already occurred, that are happening at present, and that are yet to happen.

Events that [it is argued] are active/currently happening The slave-woman will give birth to her master or mistress; A trial (fitnah) which will enter every Arab household; Knowledge will be taken away (by the death of people of knowledge), and ignorance will prevail; Tribulations (fitna) will prevail; A man will pass by the grave of another and wish he was in the latter's place; Trustworthiness will be lost, i.e. when authority is given to those who do not d....
