Will the Mahdi participate in the liberation of Palestine?
By Dr. Nasr Fahjan – Gaza
It is worth mentioning here that the Mahdi, peace be upon him, has nothing to do with the liberation of Palestine from the Jews, And that the hadiths in which Muslims fight with Jews are mentioned, the Mahdi is not mentioned at all, And to this went Sheikh Al-Albani in (The Series of Guidance and Light), It is that Palestine will be liberated from the Jews before the Mahdi leaves, God willing.
It is the same as what I deduce from the authentic hadith: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: (O son of Hawala, If you see the Caliphate has descended the Holy Land, earthquakes, bulbuls and great things have come, And the hour is then closer than people to this hand of yours.”
Therefore, the caliphate will be in Jerusalem before any of the great signs of the Hour occur. And great things, From which the Mahdi exodus, The caliphate in Jerusalem will be a sign of the approaching signs of the Hour.
Shaykh Ahmad ibn Muhammad Razzouq says: (Signs that occur before the Mahdi’s departure include: Liberating Palestine and preparing it to be the land of the next caliphate, God willing, And this will be before the Mahdi, It is not, as some people think, that the one who will liberate Palestine is the Mahdi).
This is confirmed by what is stated in the authentic hadith, From um Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her, It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: (There is a difference when a successor dies, And a man shall come out of the people of the city, Fleeing to Mecca, And they shall bring him out while he is hating, And they pledge allegiance to him between the corner and the shrine, And send him a mission from the Levant, He will destroy them with the bida between Mecca and Medina…).
The appearance of the Mahdi (peace be upon him) will be after the death of Khalifa, It is known that the term (Khalifa) is used to refer to the one who has the caliphate over Muslims. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: (They pledge allegiance to him between the corner and the shrine), that is, they pledge allegiance to him a great pledge of allegiance to him to be the caliph over them after the caliph who died.
Professor Bassam Jarrar says: (Some think that the end of the Israeli state means the approach of the Last Day, This is not true, And has no origin, With regard to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): The Hour will not arise until the Muslims fight the Jews… ، Some scholars have gone on to say: What is meant is that it has to happen, It is not meant that fighting them is a sign of the Day of Judgment).
(Some Muslims repeat a statement that is inwardly negative for those who say it, And their love for sitting, So they say: We will not triumph over the Jews except at the time of the appearance of the Mahdi, And the exit of the Antichrist, And the descent of Jesus, peace be upon him, And this saying, although it was stoned to the unseen, and disruption of Sharia, There are texts to the contrary, It proves that the Muslims will fight with the Jews, And they triumph over them in it before the appearance of the Mahdi, and before the time of the Dajjal).
The researchers have noted: D. Nassim Yassin, Affection. Saad Ashour Attention to the error of those who say that (Israel) will remain in existence until the descent of the Messiah Jesus son of Mary peace be upon him, They have gathered the anecdotal and mental evidence that proves the demise of Israel before the appearance of the Mahdi, God willing.
Their research stated: (Many Muslims make mistakes, in our opinion, in understanding texts, They think that the state of the Jews will continue until before the hour until the Messiah (peace be upon him) descends. This is wrong and an illusion, The texts state that when the Messiah Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) descended, Jerusalem would be the capital of the Islamic Caliphate.
I can say: The Muslim mujahideen will liberate Palestine, And they will remove the Israeli corruption from all the blessed land of Palestine, They will establish a caliphate in Jerusalem before the appearance of the Mahdi, God willing. And that the Mahdi would later be the successor of the Muslims, And that when the Dajjal comes out, the Muslims in Palestine are fighting him through the caliphate state, Under the leadership of the Prophet of God Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon him), Who will kill the Dajjal himself at the gate of Lyde, God willing.
