Question:
Assalam.o.Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu
May Allah bless You and May Allah forgive all of us. I am writing to know something that I have been eager to know. On November 19 2010 Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil Al Haqqani (q) (May Allah Bless him and give him Long life Aameen) said in a Sohba :
“And we have knowledge about the time of Sayyidina Mahdi (a): he will come to power in `Arafat in Hajj al-Akbar, and this Monday was the day of `Arafat and Tuesday was `Eid. Now standing up and asking forgiveness was Monday, next year it is going to be on Friday. And up to today we are knowing that the power of Heavens that will destroy Shaytan’s kingdom is going to appear on Hajj al-Akbar, the day of Friday, in `Arafat.
That is good tidings that am taking and I may say to people, look what is going to happen after one year. He will take the sword of Heavens on Shaytan and Shaytan’s soldiers, agents and armies to destroy them. That is making my heart happy! Ask that you will reach that pleasure and good tidings; look for it. May Allah forgive us and may we ask, “O our Lord! Make us to be with Sayyidina Mahdi (a)!” I have been waiting for Mahdi for 70 years and my pleasure is that good tiding! I am feeling inshaa-Allah I will reach to that most brightened day to see Mahdi (a)!”
I am so happy to hear this from Sultan-ul Awliya (q) that I cannot describe my feelings in words.May Allah make all of us to be the supporters of Sayidina Mahdi (a.s) may we all witness his emergence and May Allah give long life to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim(q) Aameen. What a good news he has given to his mureeds.
Is There anything that we can recite to become one of the soldiers of Mahdi(as) Army?
Thank You.
Allahumma Salli ala Muhammdin wa ala aali sayyidina Muhammadin’ Wassallim Sallallahu Alyhi Wassalam.
Answer:
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim said:
We do not accept that God be disobeyed, and that the Nation be tormented, and that the flag of Satan continue to be raised for one, two, or four more years, nor for one day more. Therefore, every morning we say, “Tonight he will appear;” and every night we say, “Tomorrow he will appear.”
Excerpt from Joys of Cyprus, which I authored.
Recite the first and last 10 verses of Surat al-Kahf, which the Prophet (s) prescribed as protection from anti-Christ and thus will enable one to recognize al-Mahdi (as), as the du`a, allahu arina’l-haqqa haqqan, wa arina’l-batila batilan, O Allah show us truth for the Truth and grant us to follow it and show us falsehood as Falsehood and grant us to avoid it.
