Al Mahdi , as in Sahih Muslim you find this hadith , he will come out , he will appear in Makkah .
He will appear in Makkah , and the scholars will identify him with the descriptions that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam placed about him .
There are certain features about him .
Wide forehead , sharp eyes , big big sharp eyes , a thin nose which slightly hooked on the top .
Al Mahdi , they know his other signs .
Some of other some of his other signs are the following .
So that no one can think Al Mahdi is someone else , he has particular signs .
They are all authentic narrations from the prophet You'll find them inside Bukhari , inside Muslim and other sahar , the authenticated hadiths .
A lot of the scholars agree that the first of the major signs will be the Mahdi .
Who is Al Mahdi ?
Al Mahdi literally in Arabic , Al Mahdi means in English , the awaited one and the anointed one .
So the chosen awaited one .
His name is Muhammad .
You find this hadith in Sahih Muslim .
Rasool salallahu alaihi wa sallam says his name is like my name and his father's name is like my father's name .
So his name is Muhammad the son of Abdu Baq .
And he resembles the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam not in his physical form , but in his character .
He resembles the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam in his character .
Allah said about the prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam , You O Muhammad are on an amazing character .
This is Allah witnessing to this .
So his character is perfect .
This man Al Mahdi will be will resemble the character of the prophet salamahu alaihi wa sallam .
And he said , he will rule and lead the Muslims until he transforms the world .
He will fill it with justice and peace as it was filled with injustice and tyranny .
So how many years did it take for the world to be in this terror and tyranny now ?
Al Mahdi , in only a little while , in a short span of time , by the help of Allah , with his knowledge and with his ability , will change this state of the whole world from injustice to justice .
From tyranny to peace , just as it was filled the other way .
So every the balances will be returned with the coming of the Mahdi alaihis salam .
And the Mahdi , some scholars say he's born now , and others they say not yet .
We don't know , Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala only knows this .
But as I said before , the minor signs make it a possibility that he probably is right now here .
But Allah knows best .
We don't we can't the thing about the signs of the last hour is that we can never pinpoint them or describe them or give it a time or a or a time span exact or to say , you know , this is when it's gonna happen or whatever .
So we can't do that and pinpoint it , we can only speak in general .
There will be a group of Arabs from within the Jazir al Arabiya , from within the Arabian Peninsula , somewhere near Mecca .
They will hear about the Mahdi and they will not agree with him .
They they they'll say he's not the real one .
And they will come from an eastern direction of Mecca , they'll come in with an army to to to fight Al Mahdi .
So the first people in Mahdi will fight are Arabs who are under the banner of Islam , but they've gone wrong .
As they are approaching , a group of them , Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes the earth swallow them .
They all die .
And a group of them fight him and Al Mahdiab destroys them all .
Prophet said he will fight offsprings of 2 Khalifas .
And we've had many Khalifas in the past .
We've had the Ottoman Empire .
We've had the Abbasi , the Fatimi .
We've had the Umayy Khilafa .
We have many different And when he says the offsprings , meaning of them .
Allahu a'ala which ones exactly ?
But the first ones are Arabs .
They could be of the Abbasi or the Umayy ones .
And and he said he will wipe them off .
So the first of the Arabs .
And the companions asked , our messenger of Allah , what if among those Muslims who fight him are proper Muslims , and they die within their ba'ul like that , what's gonna happen to them ?
Rasul alaihis salam said , everyone of them will be gathered on the day of judgment on the intentions they died for .
On the intentions they died for .
Even if they were the wrong army .
That's one of the first major signs of al Mahdi .
