ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON AL-ALAM, IRAN
(Istanbul, September 2008)
ADNAN OKTAR: The coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the descend of the Prophet Jesus (as) is a matter of certainty in all four Sunni schools, the Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki and Sha’afi. His descend is of certain decree. That is also the case in the Jaafarite school. And with the Shiites, Alawites, and all of them. There is full agreement among them all. There are two great denominations in Islam, Sunni and Shiite. These make up 90% or more of the Islamic world. They all agree on the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the descend of Prophet Jesus (as). That means there is no room for doubt on the subject.
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON EKIN TV (2 FEBRUARY 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Of course, there are many verses on this in the Qur’an. It is also described in detail in the al-Kutub as-Sitta [Six Books.], which as you know is a completely trustworthy work. For example, the coming of Jesus, son of Maryam is related in Bukhari’s 118th hadith. “I swear to Allah who holds my breath in His hand that Jesus, son of Maryam will descend among you as a just judge. He will break the cross and slay the pig, and he will abolish the tax on non-Muslims. Goods will be so plentiful that nobody will want any more, and a single prostration in prayer is more valuable than the world and everything in it.” He says that prostration, prayer in other words, is a very great blessing. Hadith 119 reads, “What will become of you when Jesus son of Maryam descends among you and abides by your imam, even though your imam, your head of state, is one of you?” There are many more instances. In the 37th hadith of al-Bukhari, “Doomsday will not take place until Jesus son of Maryam ... descends among you as a just ruler, smashes the cross, slays the pig and abolished the capitation tax on non-Muslims, and until there are so many goods around that nobody wants any more.” That is from Bukhari, though it is in all of them: Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah. There are some 20 references to world dominion in the Qur’an.
