T H Assalam Alaykum Wa Rahamatullah Wa Batakatu to every person who believes that there is a higher power whether you are a Muslim, Jew, Christian, or Athiest. We as Muslims believe in Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his purified family, because Allah (swt) tells us about him in the Qur'an, and Christians believe in Jesus, peace be upon him and his holy Mother Mary, because God talks about him in the Bible, and Jews believe in Elijah peace be upon him, because God talks about him in the Torah. Either way there is someone that we look up to no matter what religion we are in, someone that we believe is closer to God than us. E S T R A I G H T P Qur'an Al-Ra'ad (The Thunder): I begin in the Name of God the Merciful the Compassionate, ... "And there is a guide for every people." Since we believe Prophet Muhammad, May God bless him and his pure family, is the last Prophet sent from God, because of what God says in the Qur'an, then we also believe in his narrations. Prophet Muhammad, May God bless him and his pure family, wrote a Will and there were other witnesses that were present when this Will was written. Prophet Muhammad, the night in his death he called Ali (a.s) and his family, and there were also Miqdad (pbuh), and Abu Dharr (pbuh), and Sulaiman Muhammadi (pbuh). A T H not revert to any of them, Black banners shall appear from the East, and fight you like nobody has ever before. He then mentioned a young man and said when you see him, pay homage to him as he is the SUCCESSOR of Al Mahdi." This narration is in Evangel of Islam page 30. This narration has a lot of meaning, the meaning of the Black Banners shall appear from the East is not a literal statement, it means that the message will start to get out that the Messenger of Mahdi (a.s) is here and fight you like nobody has ever before, means that the group of people who are with Ahmed Abdullah Al-Mahdi will fight the people who are against the successor of Mahdi (a.s) like they Today there is someone among us Now maybe you think to yourself it is have never before. When you see him that is closer to God more than any not him, Ahmed al Hassan (a.s), that said the Prophet of God, May Allah scholar, priest, or rabbi. His name is Prophet Muhammad, May Allah bless Bless him
