Signs of the Mahdi

1. Before his coming will come the red death and the white death. The red death is the sword and white death is plague. (see also Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse)

2. Several figures will appear: the one-eyed Dajjal, the Sufyani and the Yamani. Another figure, the Pure Soul (an-Nafs az-Zakiyya), will be assassinated.

3. The sun will rise from the West and a star will appear in the East giving out as much light as the moon.

4. The Arabs will throw off the reins and take possession of their land, throwing out the authority of the foreigners.

5. A caller will call out from heaven.

6. There will be a great conflict in the land of Syria until it is destroyed.

7. Death and fear will afflict the people of Baghdad and Iraq. A fire will appear in the sky and a redness will cover them.

8. According to Imam Jaffar Sadiq after the second coming of Imam Mehdi his face shall appear in the moon.

9. Imam Mehdi and Dajjal both shall raise the dead. Making it very difficult for Believers to ascertain who is the real Mehdi. Dajjal's raising of the dead shall be a trick as he will order a Jin to enter a soulless dead body and move and speak from within that dead boy. If someone recites Quran especially Ayat-ul-kursi that body shall fall dead again.

10.Imam Mehdi's followers shall organize themselves into an army and the followers of Jesus Christ shall also become an army and both these armies shall unite to defeat the army of Dajjal (Anti Christ) in the last war of Human history on earth.
