Question:
Respected Sir
Assalamoalaikum
I am deeply grieved at the maqams being demolished in libya and rest of the islamic world. Yesterday I was conducting mehfil-e-zikar, during that three shaikh from libya joined spiritually, they were tall and wearing green sheets over jubba, and white turbans. Their faces were having jalal. Today morning I found out three mazarat were demolished in libya.
Sir, when all of this will end. When our prayers will be answered for making true Islam rule over the world. My heart is weeping. the grief I can’t express.
pl. pray for me and the Umma, and give us good tidings.
W/Salam
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam
Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani relates that Grandshaykh `Abdullah al-Fa’iz ad-Daghestani (q) asked Sayyidina Muhammad (s) in the Diwan al-awliya, which is held every night, “Ya sayyidee, ya Rasulullah until when will these ones be in control?” to which the Prophet (s) replied, “Ya waladee. These are the best ones to bring about the events of the Last Days.”
This is a reference to the events predicted in manyahadith of the Prophet (s) in which darkness and oppression cover the earth, until the advent of Sayyidina al-Mahdi (as).
The Prophet (s) said about him:
If this world has just one day remaining Allāh will extend that day until a man comes. He is from me, (or from my family). His name is like my name, (i.e. Muhammad), his father’s name is like my father’s name (i.e. `Abd Allāh). He fills the earth with equality and justice, as it has been filled with injustice and oppression.
So the Wahabis are the most ignorant of Islam and its ways and they are the most oppressive and harmful, as mentioned, bringing darkness everywhere. Thus, their advent in itself is a sign that we are in the Last Days, and that we can expect no relief from their evil until the last group of them appears with the Dajjal, and they will not be stopped except by Sayyidina al-Mahdi (as) and Sayyidina `Isa (as), and Allah knows best.
