Khatamul Awliyā'

Seal of the Saints 23

Afterwards there will be a reign of Violently Oppressive Rule (the reign of the
Muslim Sultans), and it will remain with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain.
Then there will be a reign of Tyrannical Rule and it will remain for as long as Allah
wills it to remain. Then Allah will raise it up whenever He wills to raise it up. Then
there will be a Caliphate that follows the Guidance of Prophethood (Khilafa
Rashida)." Then Hudhaifa said, "The Prophet, SAAS, stopped speaking." As-Silsilah
As-Sahihah, vol. 1, no. 5

The reign of the Tyrannical rule mentioned in this hadith began when the
Uthmaniyyah Khilafa was terminated in the year 1924 up to the present time. It is
the Rule of the Kuffar all over the world through open conquest, and later on
through more subtle subjugations. There was seen an unprecedented killings of
Muslims all over the world since then, from nations farthest from Arabia to their
borders in the land of Iraq, Syria and Palestine of the present conflict.

The present day conflicts in Iraq and the Levant (Syria, including Palestine) are the
trials upon the faith of the present day Arabs, and they miserably failed. They failed
to rise to the challenges of their time: they did not take to arms and fight in the
Cause of Allah for the defense of the religion, blood, honour, and properties of the
Muslims. They just stood to watch at the sidelines the slaughtering of the Muslims
by the tyrants. These will stand as witnesses to the irreligiousness of the Arabs
and it is for these that the honour shall be taken away from their land and race.
They failed to rise to the standard of being the best nation ever raised for mankind
as is mentioned in the verse, -

"You are the best of people ever raised for mankind, you enjoin Al-Ma'ruf and forbid
Al-Munkar, and you believe in Allah. And had the people of the Scripture believed, it
would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most
of them are Al-Fāsiqoon." Surah Al-Imran, 3:110

They took the matter of the deaths of thousands upon thousands of Muslim lives
as insignificant when it was a matter so great before Allah as was explained by the
Prophet, SAAS, in the hadith,-

The Messenger of Allah, SAAS, said, "The wiping away of the world means less to
Allah than a believer to be killed unjustly." Ibn Majah

The present day Arabs gave more importance to their worldly life. They did not
fight in the Cause of Allah as they were ordered in the Qur'an,
"Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor
forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, (4) and those
who acknowledge not the Religion of Truth (i.e. Islam) among the People of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians) until they pay the jizya with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued." Surah Taubah, 9:29

"Then kill the Mushrikoon wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege
them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush." Surah Taubah, 9:5

Their desertion of their brothers and sisters in Islam to the slaughters of the kuffar
without raising even a word much less take arms to fight for their defense until
they were slaughtered amounted to their giving leave to the kuffar to their killings,
thus partaking in the slaughters as mute devils on the sidelines. Their silence and
betrayals made them murderers themselves of their fellow Muslims. The Wrath of
Allah fell upon the majority of them. They are a nation with no love and
compassion in their hearts so Allah sealed their hearts and made them a useless
people. Excluded among them are those who perform deeds, open or secret,
following the orders of Allah, and are accepted by Allah to be free from His Wrath.

Instead of defending the Muslims, they made friendship with the rulers of the West
taking them as Awliyā, honouring them and helping them by allowing military
bases in the Arab lands while the Prophet, SAAS, ordered the expulsion of the
Jews and Christians, their likes, from the Arabian Peninsula.

They gave wealths to the Tyrants of Egypt, supporting their armies to war the
mujahideen in those parts of lands, including Lebanon and other lands.

They banned all private and individual donations to the fighters mujahideen all over
the world.

They branded the mujahideen as Khawārij tainting their honours and their deed of
Jihad.

They imprisoned the best and the brightest of their scholars and beat them and
torture them for dissenting with their opinions, wishes and evil ways.

They excommunicated the bravest of their sons,- the mujahideen from the Arab
lands. It was unbearable and shameful for them to see the bravest of their sons
taking to the obedience of Allah by fighting in His Cause while they were not able
to do so being weak in faith and cowards to the bones. So they drove the bravest
of them away from their homeland.

They became contented with the life of this world: wealth is their god and women
is their qibla. They forgot the verse of Allah,-
"And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. But far better is the
abode of the Hereafter for those who are Al-Muttaqoon (the pious). Will you not
then understand?" Surah Al-An'aam, 6:32

And yet in another verse, "Beautified for men is the love of things they covet:
women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle
and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world's life: but Allah has
the excellent return (Jannah) with Him." Surah Al-Imraan, 3:14

The Arabs failed in their duty as the upholders and the defenders of the deen
because of the lack of Jihad. Because of their not fighting in the Cause of Allah
when it was obligatory for them to do so. Allah, SWT, shall take away their honour
by raising the Righteous Khilafa of the Last Six Rightly Guided Quraishi Caliphs of
the End Times, and the Righteous Khilafa of Prophet Jesus, AS, from their Arab
land to the Ajam land, and from Arab race to the Ajam race. They will not have the
honor of the rise of the Righteous Khilafa of the End Times anymore in their land.

Allah, SWT, will bestow the honor of making the deen victorious to the Ajam (Non-
Arab) Muslims, and they are the Ahlul Kahf, the People of the Cave.

This transition of transferring of honour from Arab land to Ajam land, and from
Arab race to Ajam (Non-Arab) race is mentioned in the Qur'an, in the ayah,

"O you who believe! Whosoever from among you turns back from his religion (of
Islam, by not fighting in the Cause of Allah while it is obligatory to all, to make His
word victorious, specifically referring to the present day Arabs of Saudi Arabia)
Allah will bring a people whom He will love, and they will love Him; humble towards
the believers and stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Cause of Allah, and
never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allah on whom He
wills, and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creature's needs, All-Knower." Surah Al-
Maidah, 5:54

This is the Promise of Allah that shall soon come to pass, and the people that shall
be raised by Allah to change the Arabs are the Ajam, as pointed in other ahādith of
the Prophet, SAAS:

From Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, SAAS, recited the verse, "If you
(Arabs) turn back (from your religion by not fighting in the Cause of Allah), He will
substitute other people for you, and they will not be your likes." (Surah Muhammad,
47:38) The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who are those people whom
Allah has mentioned will be substituted for us and will not be like us?" He stuck
Salman Al-Farsi (Ajam/Non-Arab) on the thigh and said, "This man and his people
(Ajam/Non-Arab), this man and his people (Ajam/Non-Arab) (said two times). If
the Religion were in the Pleiades [Ath-Thuraiya (the highest star)] men from among
the Persians (Non-Arabs) would attain it." Tirmidhi, Mishkat

Abu Hurairah said, "When we were sitting with the Prophet, SAAS, Surah Al-
Jumu'ah came down. Then when the words, 'And others of them who have not yet
joined them.' (Al-Jumu'ah, 62:3) came down, the people asked the Messenger of
Allah who they were. Salman Al-Farsi was among us and placing his hand on
Salman the Prophet, SAAS, said, 'If Faith were in the Pleiades (Ath-Thuraiya, the
highest star) some of these men (Ajam/Non-Arabs) would attain it'." Bukhari

The Ajam that Allah shall raise in exchange for the Arabs is the nation of Ahlul
Kahf. The Quraish blood will still remain mixed with the blood of this nation of
fierce warriors. They are the Ahlul Kahf from the Ajam more trusted by the Prophet,
SAAS, than the nation of present-day Arabs,-

From Abu Hurairah that he said, When the Ajam (foreigners/non-arabs) were
mentioned in the presence of Allah's Messenger, SAAS, he said  "I have more trust
in them (or in some of them) than I have in you (or in some of you)." Tirmidhi,
Mishkat

This transition is also explained in the ahādith:

Abdullah Ibn Umar said that the Prophet, SAAS, said, "Allah will give your
(Muslims') power (rule of might) to the Ajam (Non-Arabs), they are like lions that
will never desert the battlefields. They will kill you and plunder your properties."
Hilyatul Awliyā', vol. 3, p. 24, Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabir, vol. 7, p. 268, Abdur-Razzaq,
Musannaf, vol. 11, p. 385, Firdaws Al-Akhbar, vol. 5, p. 445

From Samurah that the Messenger of Allah, SAAS, said, "Allah will fill your palms
with the Ajam (Non-Arabs). He will then make lions of them and they will war with
your enemies (the kuffar) and will enjoy your spoils." Ahmad, Bazzar, At-Tabarani,
Abu Nua'im, Al-Hākim

The Righteous Khilafa of the End Times will rise in the land of Arabs and to its
people no more.

===========================================
II. Ash-Shām of the End Times: The Elite of All Lands
===========================================

Ash-Shām of the End Times is the Elite (the cream) of all lands on the face of the
earth. It is the Chosen Land by Allah, SWT, for the believers of the End Times, and
from where the Righteous Khilafa will soon rise. It is in Ash-Shām that the Pillar of
Faith and Religion is lodged and erected by the angels and the importance of this
during the trials on the End Times is explained by the Prophet, SAAS, mentioned in
a hadith qudsi,-
From Abdullah Ibn Hawalah who said, "O Messenger of Allah, dictate a land for me
to be in, for if I knew that you will remain (alive) I would not choose (anything) over
nearness to you." So he said, "Upon you is Ash-Shām. Upon you is Ash-Shām. Upon
you is Ash-Shām." So when the Prophet saw his dislike for Ash-Shām he said, "Do
you know what Allah Azza wa Jalla says? He says, 'You are the Elite from My
lands. I enter unto you the best of My slaves.' and I saw the angels carrying a pillar,
like a pearl, the night of my night journey. I said, 'What are you carrying?' 'We are
carrying the Pillar of Islam. We were ordered to place it in Ash-Shām'." Abu Dawud,
Ahmad

From Abdullah Ibn Amr who said, "The Prophet, SAAS, said to us one day, 'Indeed I
saw the angels in my sleep, they took the Pillar of the Book, and they settled with it
in Ash-Shām. So if the great trials occur, then the Faith will be in Ash-Shām."
Narrated by Abi Na'eem in Al-Heela, Ibn Asakir and Tabarani in Kabeer and Awsat
and Al-Hākim and  declared it Sahih and was agreed to by Dhahabi and was
declared Sahih by Al-Albani in Fadāil Ash-Shām

It is in this elite of all lands that Allah will raise the Righteous Khilafa of the last Six
Quraishi Caliphs of the End Times, and that of Prophet Jesus, AS.

The Messenger of Allah, SAAS, said, "The foundation of the state of the believers
is in Ash-Sham."

And the hadith, "Glad tidings are for Ash-Shām, for the angels of the Most Merciful
cover it out of their kindness with their wings." Ahmad, Tirmidhi

======================================================
III. Distinctive Features of the Land of Ash-Shām of the End Times
======================================================

The land of Ash-Shām of the End Times is a land of meadows and streams. This is
mentioned in the following ahādith:

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah, SAAS, said, "The Hour will not
begin until the land of the Arabs (Muslims) goes back to being meadows and
streams; until a rider will travel between Iraq and Makkah not fearing anything
except losing his way; and there is a lot of harj." They asked, "What is Harj, O
Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Killing." Ahmad

"The Hour will not begin until wealth increases and becomes abundant, until a man
goes out with his zakah from his wealth and will not find anyone to accept it, and
until the land of the Arabs (Muslims) goes back to being meadows and rivers."
Muslim
"The Day of Judgment will not take place until rivers and streams flow through
Arab (Muslim) lands." Ash-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tadhkirah Al-Qurtubi, p. 471

The land of the Arabs (Muslims) will return to being meadows, rivers and streams
and this is because Almighty Allah shall take away from the Arabian Peninsula and
raise the last Khilafa Rashida of the Six Caliphs of the End Times in the land of
Ajam that is Ash-Shām, where it's distinctive features are that of rivers, streams
and meadows. Ash-Shām of the End Times is also the land of open seas, great
lakes, thick jungles, green forests, lush mountains, hills and plateaus. It is also in
this land of the Ajam that the last five World Wars will be fought. Alas to the
present-day land of Saudi Arabia. Their deserts will remain arid. Neither rivers nor
streams will flow through the present Arabian lands.

===============================================
IV. The People of Ash-Shām are the Best of Allah's Slaves
===============================================

The land of Ash Shām of the End Times is home to the best of Allah's slaves. It is
the home of the fiercest warriors of Islam of the End Times.

Allah, SWT, says in a hadith qudsi, "I enter unto you (i.e. Ash Shām) the best of My
slaves..." Abu Dawud, Ahmad

It is related that Abdullah Ibn Amr said, "There will come a time when there will be
no believer left but he will go and live in Ash-Shām." Ibn Abi Shaybah

From Ash-Shām will rise the best of Allah's slaves of the End Times. They are
Caliph Harith, Imam Al-Mahdi, Shua'ib Ibn Salih, Al-Mawla, Al-Qahtāni, Al-Mansur,
righteous Caliphs and Quraishis. From Ash-Shām will rise the race of people given
to terrible warfare, the Ahlul Kahf (People of the Cave), then the Foreign Legion of
Mujahideen, from among the muhajiroon (emigrants) of the world. They are the
people of Ash-Shām. They are Imam Al-Mahdi's army.

The narration, "Upon you is Ash-Shām for it is Allah's choice (land) from his earth
(and) Allah selects for it the best of His slaves."

The people of Ash-Shām! They are the people honoured by Allah with His love, and
they are the beloved people to the Prophet,SAAS.

The verse: "O you who believe! Whosoever from among you turns back from his
religion, Allah will bring a people whom He will love, and they will love Him..." Surah
Maidah, 5: 54

In a hadith, the Messenger of Allah, SAAS, said, "Some people will come on the Day
of Judgment and their Imaan (faith) will be outstanding. It's light will shine from
their chests and from their right hands. It will be  said to them, 'Glad tidings upon
you today. As-Salāmu alaykum (peace be upon you) and goodness for you. Enter
into it (jannah) forever!'

So the Angels and the Prophets will be jealous of the love of Allah for them.

His Companions asked, 'Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, "They are
not from us (our time) and they are not from you (from your race). You are my
Sahaba (Companions) but they are my Beloved. These will come after you and will
find the Book (Qur'an) made redundant by the people and a Sunnah (prophetic
way) has been killed by them. They will grab hold of the Book and the Sunnah and
revive them. Then they will read them and teach them to the people and they will
experience in that path a punishment more severe and more ugly than what you (O
Sahaba) have experienced.

Indeed, the Iman of them is equivalent to the Imaan of forty of you. The shaheed
(martyr) of one of them is equivalent to forty of your shuhada' (martyrs). Because
you found a helper towards the truth (i.e. the Prophet, SAAS) and they will find no
helper towards the truth. They will be surrounded by tyrant rulers from every place,
and they will be in the surroundings of Baytul Maqdis. The Nusrah (help) of Allah
will come to them, and they will have the honour of it in their hands.' Then he said,
O Allah, give them the Nusrah and make them my close friends in Jannah."
Musnad Imam Ahmad, chain no. 77,  Hadith No. 17561

The people of Ash-Shām of the End Times are the best of Allah's slaves. They are
the best of His slaves from among the Ajam. The blood of Quraish runs in their
veins.

In a hadith, Abu Hurairah said, "When we were sitting with the Prophet, SAAS,
Surah Al-Jumu'ah came down. Then when the words, 'And others of them who
have not yet joined them.' (Al-Jumu'ah, 62:3) came down, the people asked the
Messenger of Allah who they were. Salman Al-Farsi was among us and placing his
hand on Salman the Prophet, SAAS, said, 'If Faith were in the Pleiades (Ath-
Thuraiya, the highest star) some of these men (Ajam/Non-Arabs) would attain it.' "
Bukhari

Among the Ajam that will reach the highest status and honour in the End Times
are the Six Rightly Guided Quraishi Caliphs of the End Times (including the Imam
Al-Mahdi and his three righteous sons) the greatest of Allah's Slaves from the Ahlul
Kahf and from the Foreign Legion of Mujahideen, the Emigrants, and the People of
Ash-Shām.

The Quraish blood flows in the veins of the People of the Cave, the Ajam. They are
the descendants of the Hashimis from the Ahlul Bayt and Makhzumis. The blood
of Quraish honoured by Allah will enter into their blood and race and will rise again
in the End Times among them, supporting the deen, establishing it on the earth
and making it victorious. This will be in fulfillment of Allah's honoring the Quraish
blood with leadership as mentioned by the Prophet, SAAS, in the ahādith:

"Allah has favoured Quraish with seven special characteristics. He favored them in
that they worshipped Allah for ten years in which nobody but Quraish worshipped
Him, and that He favoured them in that He gave them victory on the Day of the
Elephant while they were polytheists, and that He favoured them in that a chapter
of the Qur'an was revealed about them in which none other of the creation was
mentioned, and it is, "For the taming of Quraish" Surah 106, and He favoured them
in that the Prophethood is with them , and the Khilafah, and cupping, and the trait
of serving others with food and water." Saheeh Al-Jaami As-Sagheer, #4208

Narrated by Jabir bin Samurah, "I heard the Prophet, SAAS, saying, "There will be
Twelve Muslim Rulers (who will rule all the Islamic World as Rightly Guided
Caliphs)." He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, "All of them
(those mentioned Caliphs) will be from Quraish." (Sahih Al-Bukhari) Abu Dawud
also reported this hadith but added to it, "The whole community will agree on each
of them."

Narrated Ibn Umar that Allah's Messenger, SAAS, said, "This matter (Khilafa) will
remain with Quraish even if only two of them were still existing." Bukhari

Narrated Abu Hurairah that Allah's Messenger, SAAS, said, "The Kingship (Khilafa)
belongs to the Quraish, the Legal Authority (belongs) to the Ansaar, the Call to
Prayers belongs to the Abyssinians, and Faithfulness belongs to the Azd (tribe in
Yaman)." Tirmidhi

The Quraish blood in the Ahlul Kahf (People of the Cave) among the Ajam will
support the deen. They comprise the core nation army of the Imam Al-Mahdi and
will be augmented by the Foreign Legion of Mujahideen,- the Muhajirun from all
over the world. The Muhajirun, they comprise the Elite Forces of the army of the
Imam Al-Mahdi.

The Quraish blood remains in supporting the deen, but the land and race will
change. From the Arab land it will transfer to Ajam land. From the Arab race it will
transfer to Ajam race. With this we come to understand that Quraish blood runs in
the Ajam veins of Caliph Harith, Imam Al-Mahdi, Shua'ib, and of Imam Al-Mahdi's
Righteous Caliphs sons, including the People of the East. They will make ready and
enabled for the Imam Al-Mahdi his rule. They comprise the army of the Imam Al-
Mahdi.

Ibn Marduwayh narrates from Ibn Abbas, "Ahlul Kahf (People of the Cave, from the
Ajam) will be Mahdi's Helpers (Army)." Muhammad Al-Barzanji's Isha'ah li Ashrat
As-Sa'ah
The above hadith also means that the Ahlul Kahf (People of the Cave) is the
Tāifatul Mansurah (Victorious Party) of the Muslim Ummah of the End Times.

================================================
V. Characteristics of the People of Ash-Sham
The Tāifatul Mansurah (Victorious Party) of the End Times
================================================

====================================
1.) They are a Warrior Nation of Mujahideen
====================================

They are a warrior nation fighting in the Cause of Allah, giving honor to the religion
with their victories and conquests:

"O you who believe! Whosoever from among you turns back from his religion (of
Islam, by not fighting in the Cause of Allah while it is obligatory to all, to make His
word victorious, specifically referring to the present day Arabs of Saudi Arabia)
Allah will bring a people whom He will love, and they will love Him; humble towards
the believers and stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Cause of Allah, and
never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allah on whom He
wills, and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creature's needs, All-Knower." Surah Al-
Maidah, 5:54

They fight in the Cause of Allah only in obedience to His, SWT's, command to the
Ummah to wage Jihad in His Cause:

From Uqbah Ibn Amr who said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, SAAS, saying,
"There will never cease to remain a faction from my Ummah fighting upon the
Command of Allah, subjugating their enemies. They are not harmed by those who
oppose them, until the Hour arrives and they are upon that." Muslim

They follow in the footsteps of the Prophet, SAAS, and emulate his Sunnah as a
Prophet and as a man of war. They are the followers of Muhammad, SAAS, in the
path of Jihad:

The Messenger of Allah, SAAS, said, "I am the Prophet of mercy, I am the Prophet
of war." Ahmad

========================================
2.) They are Fierce Men Given to Terrible Warfare
========================================

Foremost among their leaders is the Imam Al-Mahdi who is the Mahdi of Blood
and the As-Saffah (The Butcher/Slaughterer) of the Ahlul Bayt. He is a man given
to slaughter and terrible warfare. The ahādith:

Al-Walid said that he heard a man speaking to people saying, "The Mahdis are
three: The Mahdi of Khair (Prosperity and Wealth) is Umar bin Abdul Azeez, Mahdi
of Blood with whom blood will be soothed (cooled down, i.e. Imam Al-Mahdi) and
the Mahdi of Religion who is Jesus, Son of Mary. His nation will become Muslim
during his time." Nua'im bin Hammad's Kitab Al-Fitān, Jalaluddin As-Suyuti's Al-Urf
Al-Wardi Fie Akhbar Al-Mahdi, a part of Al-Hawi lil-Fatāwa

Abdullah Ibn Abbas said to Mujahid, "If I have not heard that you are like the people
of this House, I would never tell you this." Whereupon Mujahid said, "This surely will
be kept a secret. I will not mention it to someone you hate." So Abdullah Ibn Abbas
told him, "There are four people from the House, from us is As-Saffah, and from us
is Al-Mundhir, and from us is Al-Mansur, and from us is Al-Mahdi." So Mujahid said,
" Clarify these four for me." He answered, "As for As-Saffah (The
Butcher/Slaughterer) he may kill his supporters and forgive his enemy. Al-Mundhir
(The Warner) will give away plenty of wealth, he will be humble and keep but a little
of his rights. Al-Mansur (Mahdi III) will be given victory over his enemy and be
given by Allah part of what was given to the Messenger of Allah, and that is his
(the Prophet's, SAAS) enemies were frightened away from him the travelling
distance of two months whereas the enemies of Al-Mansur will be frightened the
travelling distance of one month. Al-Mahdi (the Guided One) will fill the earth with
justice, just as it has been filled with transgression-..." Al-Hākim's Mustadrak

The Tāifatul Mansurah is a nation of slaughterers. It is their most distinct feature

and their extreme violence against their enemies will be seen throughout their rule.
They are a people who love slaughter if only for the sake of slaughtering,
beheading the kuffar, hacking and cutting them to pieces. In the hadith it is
mentioned:

Thawban reported that the Prophet, SAAS, said, "(Before the Conquest of Az-
Zawra), three men will be killed at the place where your treasure (Imam Al-Mahdi)
is. Each of them will be the son of a caliph (Harith), but none of them (enemies)
will get hold (capture) of the treasure (Imam Al-Mahdi). Then the Black Banners
will come out of the East (and conquer Az-Zawra) and they will slaughter you in a
way that has never been seen before. If you see him (Imam Al-Mahdi), give him
your allegiance, even by crawling over snow, because he is the Caliph, the Mahdi."
Ibn Majah, Musnad Ahmad, Al-Hākim's Sahiha, Ibn Kathir's Nihaya fil-Fitān wal
Malahim, Nua'im bin Hammad's Kitab Al-Fitān, Muhammad Al-Barzanji's Isha'ah li
Ashrat As-Sa'ah

They are the followers of Muhammad who would realize to actions his words to
his enemies, "I have come to slaughter you." Ahmad
They are stern and severe against the kuffars:

"Humble to the believers, stern to the disbelievers." Surah Al-Maidah 5:54, "Severe
against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves." Surah Fath, 48:29

They enrage the kuffar with their deeds and they do not care about their enmity
and of those who have taken them as enemies.

Nothing will make them cower from war. They fear no superpower enemy nations
and they fight them valiantly. The fears the greatest of wars bring will not shake
them but will only increase their faith. They are described thus in the hadith:

"Their hearts are like iron and they are lions by day and worshippers at night." Al-
Burhan fie Alamatil Mahdi Akhir Az-Zaman, p. 57

They are the bravest of all races and people on the face of the earth. They will war
the whole world of disbelievers,- their nations and might of their armies, in world
wars. They are described in the ahādith:

Abdullah Ibn Umar said that the Prophet, SAAS, said, "Allah will give your
(Muslims') power (rule of might) to the Ajam (Non-Arabs), they are like lions that
will never desert the battlefields. They will kill you and plunder your properties."
Hilyatul Awliyā', vol. 3, p. 24, Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabir, vol. 7, p. 268, Abdur-Razzaq,
Musannaf, vol. 11, p. 385, Firdaws Al-Akhbar, col. 5, p. 445

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet, SAAS, said, "A group of my community will
not cease to fight holding on to the order of Allah, the Almighty. The betrayal or
desertion of whomever deserts them will not harm them in the least, fighting its
enemies. Every time a war ends, a war with another people ensue. Allah will
restrain the hearts of a people to sustain them with it, until the Final Hour comes,
like a portion of dark night, and they will get scared by it, until they shall wear for it
shields" and the Prophet, SAAS, said, "They are the people of Shām." and then the
Prophet pointed his finger to Shām until he tired it." Sahih, Silsila Al-Ahādith As-
Saheeha

They are the people whom Allah will raise in the End Times to break the back of
every stubborn tyrant:

Narrated by Hudhaifa that the Prophet, SAAS, said, "Woe to this nation from the
dictatorship of kings! Why do they kill and make pious people fear except those
who obey them, and the pure believer soothes them with his tongue but resists
them with his heart? If Allah wishes to revive Islam in might He will break the back
of every stubborn tyrant. He is able to do anything and can reform the nation after
its corruption. O Hudhaifa! If there remains but one day left in the world Allah will
prolong that day until a man (Imam Al-Mahdi) from the family of my House will
govern and fierce battles will be in his hands, and Islam will spread. Allah does not
change His Promise and He is quick to recompense." Abu Nu'aym, At-Tabarani,
Abu Amru Ad-Dani

Lastly they are described in the Old Testament of the Jewish Scriptures:

"Behold! A people comes from the north country (Baytul Maqdis),

And a great (Islamic) nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth (i.e.
Iraq)

They will lay hold of bow and spear (they are the people of Jihad in the Cause of
Allah),

They are cruel and have no mercy (i.e. they are the People of Slaughter),

Their voice roars like the sea (i.e warcries and thunders of armaments),

And they ride horses (conquering enemy nations),

As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion (on the path of war
against the kuffar).

Jeremiah 6: 22,23

=======================
3.) They Establish the Deen
=======================

Harith Ibn Al-Harrath and General Mansur will make matters ready and enabled for
the rule of the Imam Al-Mahdi. They will establish an Islamic Emirate/Sultanate
but Khilafa Rashida in nature. The best of the slaves of Allah from the four corners
of the world will come and will help build the Islamic Nation. The laws of Qur'an
will rule in that land and the Sunnah of the Prophet, SAAS, will be revived and
applied by the people in their way of life.

In a hadith, the Messenger of Allah, SAAS, said, "Some people will come on the Day
of Judgment and their Imaan (faith) will be outstanding. It's light will shine from
their chests and from their right hands. It will be  said to them, 'Glad tidings upon
you today.
