ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON EKIN TV (March 9th, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: You will hear a soulful call to prayer at Hagia Sophia, insha’Allah. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will take our Prophet’s (saas) jacket from Topkapi Palace and it will be placed upon him. He will strap on his sword, as a blessing, and will unfurl the Holy Banner, insha’Allah. He will then come to Hagia Sophia for the prayer. And at the moment the Prophet Jesus(as) will appear, insha’Allah.
The Prophet Jesus(as) will tell Hazrat Mahdi (as) “do not pass that, you will lead the prayer”. He will have to work hard with Mahdi at that. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will insist saying “ Please your highness, it is you, it is you who is worthy of this, insha’Allah. Please you lead”. But he will refuse. When Hazrat Mahdi (as) continues to resist like that, just the same, the Prophet Jesus (as) will push him from his back. He will draw him ahead by force, by pushing him. In other words by pushing him. The Prophet Jesus (as) is masha’Allah an upstanding strong man. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be very strong, too. But they are brothers after all.
Both are descended from the Prophet Abraham (as) and they resemble each other very closely. The people will say they resemble one another, in physical terms too. They will resemble one another in appearance and in style.
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV (January 13th, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: The most distinctive and irrefutable characteristic of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the prayer he will perform with the Prophet Jesus (as). The Prophet Jesus (as) will push him from his back to lead the daily prayer. I mean he will push him from both his shoulders. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will say “Please you come ahead”. But the Prophet Jesus (as) will decline, and say “ You are the imam and that you are to lead the prayer.” And thus he will lead Hazrat Mahdi (as) forward to lead the prayer. In this way, he will emphasize the leadership of Hazrat Mahdi (as). There is a hadith to that effect. That is how we will clearly realize the presence of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
