In His Name, be He glorified!
Firstly: At the suggestion of some hodjas who support the innovations, the indictment has objected to a matter in the Fifth Ray, as though it does not accept the coming of the Islamic Antichrist (Dajjal), and numerous other Antichrists.
An answer to this is the sound Hadith, a brilliant and certain miracle of the Prophet (UWBP): The caliphate will continue with the sons of my uncle ‘Abbas until it passes into the destructive hand of the Antichrist.
That is, the ‘Abbasid caliphate will continue for the lengthy period of five hundred years, then it will be wiped out by one of the three antichrists, known as Jenghiz and Hulagu, then he will treacherously rule within Islam. That is, as is indicated by numerous Hadiths, there is clear evidence that three antichrists will appear in the Islamic world. The predictions made by the above Hadith are two clear miracles.
The First is that the ‘Abbasid Caliphate, which was to come into existence, would continue for five hundred years.
The Second was that it would come to an end at the cruel, destructive hand of an Antichrist called Jenghiz and Hulagu.
Is it at all possible that the Owner of the Shari‘a, who in the books of Hadith foretold even the most minor things related to the Qur’an and marks of Islam, should not have foretold the extraordinary events of our times? And is it at all possible that there should be no allusions to the Risale‑i Nur students, who steadfastly serve the Qur’an in the midst of those strange events, in the widest sphere and under the severest conditions, and the fruits of whose service are affirmed by friend and foe alike?
