Question:
Assalamu ALeykum WRWB
I have read your response, http://www.eshaykh.com/hadith/arrival-of-mahdi-as/ but have heard MSN stating that this is the year of his appearance and explains that S Mahdi AS will appear at Hajj ul-Akbar and this year will be Hajj ul-Akbar Inshal’Allah. Our beloved MSN also said that if not this year, we may have to wait another 7 years or so for the next Hajj ul-Akbar and the world cannot last that long in its current condition. Please forgive me for my bad adab and for asking this. Astagfirullah, Wassalaam
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Insha-Allah we pray this is the year that Sayyidina al-Mahdi (as) makes his final appearance.
