Seeking Traces of the End Times, Al-Fitan - Ibn Kathir

In this article I want to publish a book that I just know its existence. Moreover, I am a person who is very fond of the science of the end times, the book is very encouraging to me to know anything about any discussion therein. But unfortunately, I had to pause the time to read it due to cost issues, and hard finding this book. (Hopefully there are other alternatives to be able to enjoy the science therein) Without mince words anymore, we immediately wrote to the resensinya.

Final day of faith, including one of the six pillars of faith and the faith of a Muslim is not valid except with faith in him. Judgment Day is a very terrible day in which all Muslims agree that the day it will happen. Syar'i so many texts that describe the position of the day, both globally and detailed.Explanation for the delay has consequences that Muslims in earnest in mengimaninya hard and give warning to those who reject it.

To believe in the end, a Muslim will be tempted to always perform his devotion to expect reward for the day and avoiding disobedience to Him because of fear of punishment in the day. Thus, increased knowledge of a Muslim on the Day of Judgment, about which permanent easement for the worshipers and a painful punishment for the transgression, is a huge motivator in implementing the devotion and kindness as well as a very strong deterrent to leave the prohibition of God.

Imperfect faith of a believer who believes in the Day of Judgment, until she mengimani the signs of Doomsday. Judgment Mengimani signs including mengimani part of the Day of Judgment. On the other hand, deny some of the signs of Judgment perfection means reducing one's faith on the Day of Judgment. As an illustration, a person who does not believe that the Antichrist will come out with all slandering, meaning it has really hit defamation, that the imperfections of his faith and dragged into slaves. On the other hand, one who is convinced will release the Antichrist as one of the signs of Judgment, he will be protected from defamation. Someone who knows the properties of the Antichrist and various defamation and discover groups of supporters waited for his coming among the Jews, would have to be careful with them. He will know how to position themselves with precision and passion, and going straight in the mensikapi and analyze various events related to the plot and intrigue that they do. The influence of faith on the Resurrection signs of a believer is very clear, going straight religion, his conviction will be solid and will even prilakunya manners and good.

In part of the book also explains about the release of a man from among the Ahlul Bait, Allah will establish Islam with him, he will be the leader for seven years. The earth will be filled with justice as it was filled before with kezhaliman. All people feel pleasure in his time with the pleasures that have not felt before; earth came out with a variety of plants, the sky rained, and the property will be transferred without limit.

Ibn Kathir rahimahullah said, " At the time, the fruit is very abundant, many plants grow lush, abundant wealth, strong government, religion upright, bend the enemy, and the lasting benefit of his days . "[1]

- The name and nature

The men's names as the name of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, and his father name as the name of the father of the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam. So his name is Muhammad or Ahmad-ibn-'Abdillah. He descended from Fatima bint Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, and from the descendants of al-Hasan ibn' Ali radi anhuma.

Ibn Kathir rahimahullah said about al-Mahdi, " He is Muhammad ibn 'Abdillah al-' Alawi al-Fathimi, al-Hasani . "[2]

And the nature described in the history that he has a broad forehead and a pointed nose.

- The exit of

Al-Mahdi will come out of the east. Described in the hadith, the Tsauban anhu, he said, "The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"There are three people who will kill each other on the side of your savings; them all is the son of the Caliph, then no going back to one of them. Finally came the black flags from the east, and they will fight you to the battle that was never done by any one of the ... (then he relates: something that I do not understand it, then he said :) If you see it, then bai ' atlah him! Despite crawling in the snow, because surely he is the Caliph al-Mahdi Allah . "[3]

Rahimahulah Ibn Kathir said, " The definition of deposits in the editor is saving the Ka'bah. Three of the sons of the Caliph would kill each other fighting over her side to the end of time to arrive. Then quit al-Mahdi and his coming from the east, instead of Sardab Samira as said by ignorant people of the al-Mahdi Rafidhah that currently exist in them, and they were waiting for his appearance at the end of time. It is a form of lying, backwardness highly visible, and the greatness of deceit devil, because there is no proof that shows it, is also evidence of al-Qur'an, the Sunnah, common sense, and the assumption is right . "

He said, " She supported by the people from the east who help him make his power, strengthen joints-joints, and their current flag went black, which symbolizes peace, as the flag of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam first black with a reference al-'Uqaab . "

Until his words, " And the meaning of the statement that al-Mahdi, who is credited with more promised in the last days of its existence, the origin of emergence is from the east. And he will dibai'at in the Haram (near Ka'bah), as shown by some hadith . "[4]
