The syrian civil war and narration

[Abu Nur]

Salaam Aleikum,

There is very interesting narration that can be interpreted of the recent Syrian civil war:

Al-Hakim narrated from ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “There will be at the end of time a trial that will sort out men as gold is sorted out from metal (fitnatul Duhaima). So do not revile the people of Sham, but revile their evil ones, for among them are the Abdal [Awliya/Saints]. A flood is about to be released upon the people of Sham (the Arab spring) that will split their unity, so that even if foxes (ISIS and Al Qaeda) attack them they would defeat them. At that time, a man from my household will come out with three banners (to the people of Syria). The one who estimates highly will say that they are fifteen thousand. And the one who estimates lower will say that they are twelve thousand. Their sign will be: “Amit, amit [kill, kill].” They will meet in battle seven banners, and under each of those banners will be a man seeking the kingdom (Syria). Allah will kill all of them, and restore to the Muslims their unity and bounty and their far ones and near ones (the Syrians who emigrated will come back).” (These Ahadith are found in the references of Abu Dawud, Ahmad, Ibn Majah and At-Tabarani and al Hakim reported them).

----

"But revile their evil ones" Sunnis will inteprete here Asad and his group, when actually it means the evil ones of people of Syria.

"(ISIS and Al Qaeda) attack them they would defeat them". Asad did defeat ISIS and Al Qaeda, and FSA joined ISIS and Al Qaeda, so FSA is not the good guys at all.

"At that time, a man from my household will come out with three banners", Could this means Ayotullah Khamenei who is sayyed from Ahlulbayt (عليه السلام) lineage. And they fought all of different groups who all wanted the kingdom of Syria and they all were destroyed.

Or could this means later event about Imam Mehdi (عليه السلام)?

So what are you trying to say? I didn’t get it.

A prophecy. It implies also who is in right side.

To be honest, this is why I keep returning to SC. To find others who are also looking forward to the reappearance. As for your question I think where so many other signs have been fulfilled then the explanation you have provided for the narration seems correct.

[Abu Nur]

What we have witnessed or witnessing currently is the event of Duhaima, the peak of it:

The Prophet (saws) said: “It will not leave any single individual of this Umma (nation) but slap him on the cheek” (test his faith). In the Ahadith on the Duhaima, the Prophet (saws) said it will test the entire Ummah “Until people become two camps: one of faith (religion) with no hypocrisy and one of hypocrisy with no faith (religion).” This shows that the fitnah of the Duhaima will separate the believers from the people of fitan, doubt and hypocrisy, making each stand out from the other as both are forced to take one of two sides that will be known to all, and the Du- haima is the greatest fitna that will occur prior to the appearance of the Antichrist (Allah's curse be upon him), in the words of the people of hypocrisy “they are making their actions easy to see nowadays”.

[Abu Nur]

A Shia sahih Hadith:

He said: Remain on the ground and do not mobilize a hand or a leg until you see the signs that I mention to you. I do not perceive that you [O Jabir] will see them: A schism between Banu fulan,1 a Caller who will call from the sky, a liberating sound that will come to you from the direction of Damascus, the swallowing-up of a village from the villages of Sham called al-Jabiyya2, the advance of the Turkish brothers until they descend to the peninsula (jazira),3 the advance of the rebels of Rome until they descend to ar-Ramla.4 In that year there will be many schisms in the whole Earth from the direction of the West (al-maghrib). The first land that will be destroyed is Sham, and they will schism at that point upon three banners: the red banner, the spotted banner, and the banner of the Sufyani. (Tusi’s Ghayba, Signs Before His Appearance, hadith #434)

(sahih) (صحيح)

1 This may refer to Banu `Abbas. And Allah knows best.

2 Al-Jabiyya is at the western gate of the city of Damascus.

3 This may refer to the Arabian Peninsula.

4 ar-Ramla is a place in Palestine.

Rebels of Rome are the US and West.

--

Because A call need to be heared from Sky have not happened, this event is future, perhaps very near.

[Abu Nur]

Insha'Allah observe four leaders who are going to lead the resistance till the fath. Ayotullah Sayyed Sistani, Ayotullah Sayyed Khamenei, Sayyed Muqtadar Sadr and a leader from Lebanon. And Palestine, Yemen, Pakistan and Afghanistan will help these leaders.

Muqtadar Sadr will have nothing to do with Imam Mahdi, and he is rejected and condemned by the majority of Iraqi Shias who understand him better than anyone else.

I don't hold such a viewpoint and I have very confidence and belief that he is very important leader who have many followers who will sacrifice their life in this jihad. We just need to witness it and I have absolute no doubt about it.

His followers are violent, chaotic, and dangerous to the public. The majority of Iraqi Shias condemn him and his followers. And we don't like him because he is extremely easy to manipulate, and our enemies regularly do this to compromise Shias. Every event that I've been to that celebrates the memory of Shaheed Mohamad Baqir al Sadr has no pictures of him, or mention of him. At the most one of the speakers will allude to him in only one sentence, because he knows everyone in the room is not a fan of him.

Muqtada reminds me of Abdullah ibn Zubayr in many ways-

1. Son of an important political figure with a huge following, uses it to his advantage.(Zubayr ibn Awwam, Muhammad Sadiq al-Sadr). 

2. Determined to achieve his goals by hook or crook. 

3. Extremely disrespectful of the rightful  authority of his time (Ibn Zubayr against Imam Ali (عليه السلام), Muqtada against Sayyid Sistani (ha) ; I vividly remember how his followers used to taunt the Sayyid for being Iranian, claiming that Sadr is more rightful to lead the Iraqi shia since he is 'ibn al-balad', and how Sistani is a 'mute marja'. This was the case until as recently as 10 years ago). 

4. Took shelter in a holy place when faced with imminent defeat and even death (Ibn Zubayr in the Masjid al-Haram when besieged by Yazid's army, Muqtada in Ameer al-Mu'mineen (عليه السلام) 's haram when cornered by the Americans). 

Although since 2016 he has become somewhat mellower and doesn't attack Sayyid Sistani directly because he knows there'll be a public backlash, but he still displays his true feelings by attacking his students (recently he had spewed venom against Sayyid Muneer al-Khabaz; he's not worth even a hair in the beard of Sayyid Muneer (ha)). 

I don't like him either. 

Some months ago I was talking to a sister who grew up in poverty in Sadr City but later moved to the USA. She was saying how he and his men always had money to give to the boys there to buy more guns and handmade bombs, but never did they think of distributing any relief material among the area's poor residents.

I know brother, Sayyid Majid made a huge blunder by siding with the enemy (I don't like him either), and his son Haidar al-Khu'i is a sellout and a shill. I am not a fan of the descendants of Ayatullah Khu'i (rh) and don't believe that any of them can hold a candle to their grandfather's name, but I still believe that Sayyid Majid shouldn't have been murdered.

If he was collaborating with the enemies then a public trial would have been more fitting.

Agreed, I am no fan of inter-shi'a disputes and camp-ism either.

Instead of bickering based on marja politics we should focus more on stressing what is common between all of us- the authority of the 14 infallibles (ams).

This information I got from one of the Shaykh Bahjat student who he and his 23 student all saw the same dream in the same day when Sayyed Nasrallah was martyred. Here is the english translation (https://youtu.be/F5hmOkSVrEo):

"At the beginning of this broadcast, I had previously informed you about the vision I saw in the world of meaning or the world of symbols. It was a vision seen not only by me but by all the students of the school. This happened during a critical time, after we heard the news of the martyrdom of the hero of the resistance, Hussein, and Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah.

After hearing rumors about whether or not he was martyred, we were deeply saddened. During that time, I had a small heart condition and was admitted to the hospital.

In the vision, I was wearing religious attire, walking on a path that resembled a corridor or a bridge rising up into the sky. The bridge was surrounded by complete darkness, as if I was in the world of the grave, walking through the realm of Barzakh. I was walking on this dark path, and on both sides were lights, images that seemed to depict martyrs. Some were in their bloodstained clothing. I recognized some of them, those who had passed away, either executed during the days of the previous regime or those who fought in the fields of Jihad against the occupiers and terrorists. I remembered the scholars who were with me, and I saw them in the form of lights. Some I recognized, some I did not, but they were walking on the sides, their light illuminating our path.

I was being held by the hand by a noble man, and when I looked at his face, I imagined it was Sayyid Al-Qadi. He was leading me, and we walked amidst the lights until we reached a high place, a mass of light, like the moon, with stars along the way.

I saw a beautiful figure of a Sayyid wearing a green scarf and holding a staff in his hand, which resembled the staff of Moses that we hear about. He had a long staff and a sword by his side, in the Arab tradition, surrounded by lights. Near him were scholars dressed in religious attire. On one side, I saw many scholars, with my teacher Sheikh Bahjat, may God have mercy on him, in front of them. I also saw Sayyid Khomeini, Sayyid Hussein, the son of Sayyid Al-Sabzawari, and Sayyid Nasrallah Al-Mustambit, among others. They were all in the form of light, standing together.

At the forefront was the light of the martyr Sayyid Muhammad Al-Sadr, may God sanctify his soul, and beside him was Sayyid Muhammad Baqir Al-Sadr, also in the form of light. These were the martyrs, standing close to the Imam. Sayyid Abdul Alaa Al-Sabzawari and Sayyid Al-Qadi were also with them.

The Sayyid Al-Qadi let go of my hand and left, but I saw them as if they were welcoming a new group, bringing flowers. Someone was holding someone's hand the way Sayyid Al-Qadi had held mine. When I looked closely, I realized it was Sayyid Musa Al-Sadr, may God sanctify his soul. He was walking with the former Secretary-General, Sayyid Abbas Al-Musawi, and they were carrying another martyr, whose light was very bright, shining with an immense light.

I saw it was Sayyid Hussein, the martyr Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, being brought near the place where Sayyid Muhammad Al-Sadr and Sayyid Abdul Alaa were standing. Sayyid Al-Qadi also stood with them, and these lights illuminated the entire path.

The Imam seemed to be the leader, giving them instructions. I had the feeling that a new phase was beginning, as we were returning to the world. I looked back and saw the world of the living behind me, and it was as if dawn was rising over a city below us.

The Imam pointed towards that direction, and four lights emerged. He said, 'These will lead the upcoming victory.' I heard him ordering those present, saying, 'These will prepare the foundation for our next movement.' He pointed towards the four lights, and when I looked closely, I recognized the first one as the light of Sayyid Sistani, may God protect him. The second light was beside him, and I realized it was the Mujahid, Sayyid Muqtada Al-Sadr. The third light, a powerful one from the east, was that of Sayyid Khamenei, may God protect him. The fourth light appeared from Lebanon, but I will not mention the name, as it is not appropriate at this time. However, these four lights were the leaders of the forthcoming victory.

The Imam said that these four leaders should be held onto, as they will lead the preparations for the reappearance of the Imam, God willing. The vision ended, and it was shared by all the students of my school in the same way, as we all saw it the night we stayed up until dawn, praying for Sayyid Hassan's safety. But God showed us in the vision that he had been martyred and was returning with the Imam.

This collective vision attests to its truthfulness. These four leaders will guide the Shi'ites, so pay attention. The global powers, including America and Israel, have realized that the real threat to their existence comes from the school of Ahlulbayt and Shi'ism in particular. These four leaders have the power to influence, and they have recognized that Shi'ism is tied to its leaders. These are the leaders, and they will try to eliminate them. But God will fulfill His light, even if the disbelievers detest it.

These four leaders will remain, God willing, and there are others assisting them. I also saw smaller lights from Palestine, Yemen, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. But the main leaders are these four, who will lead the coming victory, God willing.

This is the good news of the upcoming victory, the return of the Imam, may God hasten his reappearance. May we be among his supporters, helpers, and martyrs under his command. Peace and blessings be upon Muhammad."

This is obviously fake then, and this annoyed me because it had me going until I was slapped in the face with this namedrop. It is obviously a lie, or a fake dream. As a brother detailed above, reality shows us what the deal with Muqtada is. He is obviously not the same category of people as anyone else mentioned in that video. He has done things and said things that are unlike the ways of the leaders.

another thought: 

Something like this happened before. There's a story that sometime in the early 2000s Bahjat (رضي الله عنه) was giving a sermon. Then he suddenly started to weep. People asked him what's wrong and he says that the woman who will murder Imam Mahdi (عليه السلام) was just born. I was amazed. But then Bahjat's school said that story never happened.

Same thing here. Are there 22 people claiming to have the same dream, or is there one person claiming that 22 students of Bahjat (رضي الله عنه) had the dream? It's just illogical when you think about the history of the Muqtada movement.

You can reject as much you want because of your Muqtada Sadr viewpoint. It is logical to think that Muqtada is one of the leader because he have over million follower that he can influence them to fight America and Israel. If Israel and America extend, then they are very threat to all of us Shias and we will unite to fight them back inshaAllah.

Only really time can tell if this dream is correct, but I don't doubt it is fake.

23 student of this shayk witnessed all the same dream, not the students of Bahjat. The Shayk is student of Bahjat, the 23 student are not.

Like we've established before, this man has embarrassed himself with his mishaps and mistakes, and his followers are astounding to put it very mildly. I'm not accusing him of malice or bad intentions, but he is very gullible, very easy to manipulate, emotional, and the list goes on. Like if you actually sit down and examine him and his followers, you will not move away thinking he has anything to do with Imam Mahdi (عليه السلام). Plus now the Shia resistance in Iraq is headed by other people, they've taken over that "market."

That's even worse. Bro do you really believe someone when they say they have a dream just like that? When the source is associated with someone as shaky as Muqtada? His followers have insulted Sistani man, I don't take them as a reliable source. I should have been suspicious when Shaheed Muhamad al Sadr was elevated above Khomeni, how does that make sense? This is like that guy Muhamad Qasim who claims to have had hundreds of dreams of the Prophet, and people have elevated him to being Imam Mahdi. Can anyone actually prove he even had the dreams? What a flimsy thing to base an opinion on.

Don't get me wrong, when people share near death experiences, or say they saw an Imam in their dream, or a great Shia figure, I am inclined to believe them. Because they usually have some evidence going for them (like predictions), or their information correlates to what another separate claimant says, or it's a harmless story that at the most nudges us to be better people. But this? It is obviously a lie made up by Muqtada's followers, whose history has proven that they are not at all above doing such a thing. At one point even Muqtada himself was like "What is wrong with you? Why are you hurting innocent people?"

Why is Khamenei legit? Because he successfully fought the Shah, Saddam, ISIS, and is currently the core of the fight against Israel. Why is Sistani legit? He's the top faqih and grant maraj3 have vouched for him. Why is NasrAllah legit? He defended his country from Israel.

Why is Muqtada legit? Because of who he happens to be related to, and because someone somewhere claims to have seen a dream. 

 

I will leave by saying that there are reports of dreams where Muqtada is not depicted favorably. I heard from one the best people I knew that he saw Muqtada being rejected by the Kaaba. I don't remember the details to be honest. I don't remember who was rejecting him, or what he was rejected from. But he was pleading and begging but the rejecter gave him a firm "NO!" I highly doubt he's lying because he's easily top 10 people I ever met. Is it possible that the dream was just a dream? Yeah, but I don't think he was lying.

Excuse my tone and thank you for reading. May Allah reveal the truth to the both of us.

[Abu Nur]

Brother, I think you are taking it too far about Sadr. Even if he have done such a things and his followers are harsh, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) can still use him and his followers in His cause. I don't think the light in the dream indicate sainthood, rather a supporter in this cause.

Salaams

This one just came out.

The Sufyani-From Sham to Iraq and advent of Imam Mahdi. 

[hamz786]

As Salamu Alaykum,

I wonder if anyone else has come across a certain Hadith that I saw mentioned in a book but can't seem to find. It mentions that someone rises in Syria and causes a few years of peace. Then after this peace is when the chaos mentioned in all other Hadiths starts. 

I can't remember seeing any of the other Hadiths about Sham in the End Times mentioning a time of peace, except in this one.

[Ashvazdanghe]

Salam @hamz786 i only have found some narrations about peace of Imam Mahdi (aj) with Romans  after defeat of Sufyani in similar fashion of The Treaty of al-Hudaybiya which in similar fashion it will be a long peace nearly for 2 or 7 years but Romans will break it after 3 years or based on some narrations after 9 months.

 

Quote

Narrated from Prophet Muhammad (pbu):

((Four peace treaties will be established between you and Rome, the fourth of which will be signed by a man from the family of Heraclius and will last for years (two years). A man from Abdul Qays who named Saud ibn Ghilan asked: Who will be the leader of the people on that day? He said: The Mahdi is from my children.))(1)

Islamic view of Heraclius

[edit]

Purported letter sent by Muhammad to Heraclius, emperor of Byzantium; reproduction taken from Majid Ali Khan, Muhammad The Final Messenger Islamic Book Service, New Delhi (1998). Purported letter sent by Muhammad to Heraclius, emperor of Byzantium; original version of the letter.

See also: Diplomatic career of Muhammad § Letter to Heraclius of the Byzantine Empire, and Ar-Rum

In early Islamic and Arab histories, Heraclius is the most popular Roman emperor, who is discussed at length.^[74] Owing to his role as Roman emperor at the time Islam emerged, he is remembered in Arabic literature, such as the Islamic hadith and sira. He is also indirectly mentioned in Sura Ar-Rum and his victory against Sassanid empire was prophesied here. In the third and fourth verses, the Muslim community is promised that the Byzantines will reverse their defeat into a victory and retake Jerusalem "in a few years' time".^[75]

And in Shiite sources, quoting the Ahl al-Bayt ((عليه السلام).) it is stated that the most virtuous martyrs in the sight of Allah are the companions of the chief martyrs of Imam Hussain ((عليه السلام).) and the martyrs who are the companions of Imam Mahdi ((عليه السلام).).

But during the recent invasion, the Islamic lands: According to the narrations, the period of the peace treaty with the Westerners is seven years, but after two years, and according to some, three years, they betray and break the treaty, as stated in the narration of Ibn Hammad, quoted by Al-Artaat:

Quote

((A peace will be established between the Mahdi and the rebellious ruler of Rome after the killing of Sufyani and the conquest of the Kalb tribe. In such a way that your merchants and theirs will travel to each other's countries and they will spend three years building their ships (equipping their naval forces.) Until the Roman ships will anchor on the coast between Tyre and Acre, and there will be a battle scene.)) (9)

(9)manuscript of Ibn Hammad p 142

 

Quote

((The Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his family) said: A peace treaty will be established between you and the Banu Asfar (the yellow-skinned people) who will betray you as the period  of  the pregnancy of a woman (after nine months) and will attack you by land and sea with eighty armies, each army consisting of twelve thousand soldiers, who will land between Jaffa and Akka(Acre). Their leader will set their ships on fire and order his companions to defend and fight for their land and country. Then war and slaughter will begin on both sides. The soldiers and armies will rush to help each other, even those who are in Hadhramaut in Yemen will come to your aid. On that day, Allah will strike them with His spear, sword and arrow, and because of that, there will be a great slaughter among them.)) (2)

((The Roman ships will anchor and settle between Tyre and Akka, and that will be a great battle formation and battlefield.)) (3) It is also stated that: ((There are two types of killing of Allah among the Christians: one of them has passed away and the other has remained.)) (4)

And the meaning of what was said: ((Allah will harm them with His spear and...)) is that Allah will help the Muslims against the enemies with the help of angels and His unseen help.

(2)manuscript of Ibn Hammad p 141

(3)manuscript of Ibn Hammad p 142

(4)manuscript of Ibn Hammad p 115

The narration that has passed narrates their betrayal and breaking the treaty as the period of a woman's pregnancy, that is, after nine months after signing the peace treaty. Allah, knows best.

 

Quote

And the narration states that:

((In Palestine, two conflicts with the Romans will occur, one of which is called "Flower Picking" and the other "Harvesting").) (7)

In the sense that the second will be more destructive than the first.

The next narration indicates that the battle of Mahdi (peace be upon him) with the Westerners is an unequal war, and of course, the balance of power is apparently in their hands and in their favor, so some cowardly Arabs will join them and the rest will remain neutral. Ibn Hammad narrated from Muhammad ibn Ka’b in his interpretation of this verse: “You will soon be called to a very powerful people.” He said: The Romans will have a great day of battle. He said: Allah called the Arabs at the beginning of Islam to fight the infidels. They said: “ our wealth, women and children have kept us busy  .” Then he said: You will be called to a very powerful people. On the day of battle, they will say the same thing they said at the beginning of Islam. And this verse will be fulfilled about them: “allah will punish you with a painful punishment.” Safwan said: “Our master said that on that day some of the Arabs will turn away from their religion and become apostates, and some others will be filled with doubt and will refuse to support Islam and its army.”

The apostates are those who support the Romans, and those who turn away from the support of Islam are the same neutral people, and they will be defeated by the powerful hand of Hazrat Mahdi ((عليه السلام).) after the victory over the Romans. They will be subjected to a painful punishment. Ibn Hammad has narrated a narration that considers the reward of the martyrs of this war to be equivalent to the reward of the martyrs of Badr alongside the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family):

(The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: The best martyrs under this sky since the beginning of creation are: the first: Abel, who was killed unjustly by the cursed Cain, then the prophets who were martyred by their nations, although they were sent to guide them, and their saying was that our Lord is Allah and they called people to Him, then the believer of the family of Pharaoh, then the companion of Yasin, then Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib, then those killed in the battle of Uhud, then those killed in Hudaybiyah, then those killed in the battle of Ahzab, then those killed in Hunayn, then those killed after me by the wicked Khawarij, after them the fighters in the way of Allah... until the great Roman campaign occurs, the victims of which will be like the martyrs of Badr.) (8)

Perhaps the phrase "the victims of Hudaybiyah" included in the narration is a mistake or an addition, because historical sources do not record the occurrence of the battle and the casualties in Hudaybiyah.

And it is also stated:

((Then Allah will make the wind and birds dominate the Romans so that the birds will beat their wings on their faces so that their eyes will pop out of their sockets and the earth will split because of them. Then they will be struck by lightning and an earthquake and they will fall into a valley and a precipice. And Alah will help the patient and reward them well, just as He rewarded the companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) and He will fill their hearts and breasts with courage and strength.)) (5)

It seems that their goal in landing naval forces between Jaffa and Akka or between Tyre and Akka, as can be seen in these two narrations, is to return Palestine and give it back to the Jews, which is actually a strategic goal and a license for their invasion.

And in the next narration it is stated that they will land their forces along the coast of Arish in Egypt to Antioch in Turkey. It was narrated from Hudhayfah bin Yaman that he said:

((The Messenger of Allah was granted a victory and conquest the like of which had not happened since the time of his mission. We said: O Messenger of Allah, may this victory and conquest be blessed upon you. Did the war end with this victory? He said: Never, never, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, O Hudhayfah, there are six characteristics before it... And he mentioned the last war as the Roman sedition, when they betrayed the Muslims and broke the peace treaty with eighty armies and descended in the distance between Antioch and Arish.)) (6)

In the narrations related to the descent of Jesus (peace be upon him) it is stated that the war will end at that time and this is supported by the reality of our wars with the Romans (Westerners) which have not ended and will not end until the Imam appears and the Messiah (peace be upon him) descends from the sky and Allah will triumph us against them in a stage of Their global rebellion .

The Book Of Tribulations The Syrian Muslim Apocalyptic Tradition By Naim Ibn Hammad

Salaams

 

This one just came out.

The Sufyani-From Sham to Iraq and advent of Imam Mahdi. 

Salam even it matches with prophecy so then civil war will be initiated by Abqa (black and white flag or man)  & Ashab ( Red & white flag/man ) which Sufyani will defeat Abqa so then Ashab .

Quote

 three main groups ([R...] and allies, ISIS –possibly Ashab- and other opposition-possibly Abqa-) have emerged in Syria. For that reason, it is worth to study to predict Sufyani because of strong similarities with the prophecies mentioned before.

 

Quote

Three groups or armies, named differently in some sources, will fight or struggle with each other in Syria before the arrival of Imam Mahdi ((عليه السلام).). Imam Ja’far Sadiq ((عليه السلام).) mentioned these three armies as piebald army, red army and army of the Sufyani. He also mentioned, Hasanide, Umayyad, the Qaisiya and Sufyani (From Imam Ja’far Sadiq (عليه السلام).)[8] which will fight in Syria. Imam Muhammad Baqir ((عليه السلام).) indicate these groups as Ashab, Abqa, Abras and Sufyani. (From Imam Muhammad Baqir (عليه السلام).).[9]

 

 

Quote

And three men will raise their flags in Syria, and all three will claim the throne. One of them is black and white, the other is red and white, and the third is from the family of Abu Sufyan.

The Promised Mahdi (translation of  Bihar al-Anwar) p. 983

Three groups will raise flags there: the flag of the red and white man, the flag of the black and white man, and the flag of Sufyani.

The Promised Mahdi (translation of  Bihar al-Anwar) p. 987

In Shaam (Syria), three different flags will clash with each other, one flag is red and white, the second flag is black and white, and the third is the flag of Sufyani. Sufyani will reach the black and white flag and they will fight, and he will kill him and all his companions, and after that he will tear the red and white flag into pieces, then he will has no goal except to go ahead of the Iraqian.

The Promised Mahdi (translation of  Bihar al-Anwar) p. 1025

Who is Abqa?

Quote

In the dictionary, Abqa means anything black and white, especially a black crow mixed with white, and any unclean person, a leper, a person with scabies, salt marsh and someone who wears patched and colorful clothes. And Abqa is the name of one of the three commanders who will rebel in the land of Syria before the advent of the Imam to gain power and rule. His army will fought against the Ashab, who is infidel. It seems that the command center of Abqa is inside the capital, because as the narrations show, the Ashab' army wiil rebel from outside the center or capital. However, apparently neither can defeat the other. In the meantime, Sufyani will enter from outside of  the capital and will overpower both.

The attributes mentioned for Abqa in the narrations:

1- He is a rebel commander who is about to emerge in Syria with his troops in eve of advent.

2- He has a black and white face or a black and white flag

3- He may be the same as Raqati, رقطي , meaning someone who wears colorful clothes

4- He may be from Egypt or have connections with Egypt

5- Abqa may be the same as Qays, who are a tribe in Egypt.

5- Apparently, Abqa will take a position inside the Syrian capital

6- It is possible that Abqa will have more experience in governing or fighting the government of Damascus than the As'hab

7- Abqa's departure will follow the sighting of a comet and an eclipse

8- Abqa will achieve some victory, but not a definitive victory

9- Abqa's political positions are more inclined towards the West and are anti-Islamic, and he will be supported by them

10- He will be defeated and destroyed by Sufyani.

It has been narrated from the Holy Prophet ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) and the Imams of the Ahlul Bayt (عليه السلام) that the emergence of the Abqa in Egypt will be followed by the sighting of a comet, a solar eclipse, and a lunar eclipse, all of which will occur near the advent.

 

Quote

Also, Abqa could be a leader of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, which has good relations with the West and is currently active and in conflict against the Syrian regime. As we know, the Muslim Brotherhood is based in Egypt, and this could be Abqa's connection to Egypt.

 

Who is the As'hab?

Quote

 

"As'hab" literally means a red-haired camel, and the Romans were also called that because of their complexion and hostility to Islam, and in a special sense, it is the name of one of the two claimants to power and rivals of Sufyani. According to the narrations, "As'hab and Abqa'" are two leaders who will oppose Sufyani, with whom Sufyani wiil fight in the Levant and overcame them. (Abqa' is someone whose skin is black and white) The narrations have spoken about him and the As'hab in detail.

It is likely that As'hab wiil be a non-Muslim, because some narrations have introduced him with the adjective "Alaj",«علج» , and this expression is usually used for "infidel soldiers". However, from the narrations that have criticized Abqa' and the As'hab, it is clear that their political positions are against Islam and in favor of the enemies of religion and infidels.

The characteristics mentioned for the As'hab in the narrations:

1- He is a rebel commander who will set out with his troops on the eve of the advent in Syria.

2- He has a red and white face or a red and white flag.

3- The As'hab may be Azraq, meaning he has blue eyes and raven-colored.

4- He may be an infidel and a non-Muslim, or a person with many crimes who is characterized as infidel.

5- He wiil start his movement from outside the capital.

6- His positions are more inclined towards the Turks.

7- Before the As'hab, the infidel ruler in Syria will perish.

8- After the As'hab, the government will pass to the Turks.

9- He will be defeated and destroyed by Sufyani

It seems that the ruler Abqa' (i.e. the one with black and white spots on his face) has more experience in ruling Syria than his rival As'hab (i.e. the yellow-faced one)

Because the narrations indicate that the uprising of the As'hab arises from outside the capital or center and he will be defeated in the attempt to conquer it, while Abqa' is a strong main force or a revolutionary who will win to some extent and the As'habs will rise up in competition with him and attack him from outside the capital, but neither can achieve a definitive victory over the other. Therefore, Sufyani will take advantage of this opportunity and attacks from outside the capital and destroys both of them. It is likely that the As'hab is non-Muslims because some narrations have described him with the adjective "alaj" which is usually used to describe infidels.

It seems that Marwani, who is mentioned in primary sources such as the book of al-Nu'mani's occultation, is the same Abqa' and he  is not considered a ruler as rival of Sufyani.
However, the political orientation of Abqa' and the As'hab is evident from the narrations that have criticized them, that they are opponents and enemies of Islam and supporters of the fans of the enemies of Islam and the infidels, and the next narration is used that the As'hab  follows  the Russians (Turks).
(When that infidel, the As'hab revolts and it becomes difficult for him to stay in the capital or center, it will not take long for him to be killed and then the Turks will become the rulers of that state.) (Taken from the book of the Age of Revelation "عصر ظهور " "Asre Zohour")

 

Quote

There seem to be different examples of As'hab. Some believe that this person, considering his being a servant and also the other meaning of the word As'hab, which is a lion, could be Bashar al-Assad. Of course, I did not find the meaning of lion for As'hab. On the other hand, the attribute of As'hab being an infidel to Bashar al-Assad, who is now one of the main members of the resistance, is not true at all, just as the other attribute of As'hab, which is being present outside the capital and attacking the capital, Damascus, is also completely ruled out and illogical.

Other examples of As'hab can be include the Kurdish leaders of the region, including the Kurds of Iraq, Turkey, and Syria, who have long been calling for the formation of a unified government and are now considered one of the main opponents in Syria. Surely, as the situation in Syria worsens, the Kurds will intervene in a more transparent and intense manner.

 

Quote

When the Turks and Romans come together, a village in Damascus will collaps and part of the western wall of the Damascus mosque will collap, three banners will be raised in Syria: Abqa, As'hab and Sufyani. Damascus will be besieged and a man and his companions will be killed. Two men from Abu Sufyan's family will emerge, and the victory belongs to the latter. When the followers of "Abqa" come from Egypt, Sufyani goes out against them with his army, then he kills so many Turks and Romans in Qarqisiya that wild animals will be satisfied with their flesh.

The Compliance of the Current Developments in Syria with the Predictions of the Noble Narrations

As we saw in the first and second parts, with a little attention, we can understand to what extent the developments that are currently taking place in the country of Syria and the surrounding areas are consistent with the events mentioned in the narrations of the Age of Revelation, the existence of widespread seditions since long ago, the strange coordination of demonic forces including the West, America, Israel, Turkish leaders and reactionary Arab leaders to collapse Syria and equip internal opposition forces and the intensification of the internal situation in Syria and Turkey's strange turn against Syria and this country's military movements on the borders during recent months and... All of this shows that the final stage before the departure of Sufyani in Syria has begun and these countries will witness great and widespread developments in the very near future, as the beginning of it has begun.

Meanwhile, Iran, Hezbollah, and the axis of resistance are doing their best to preserve Syria. The loss of Syria will be a severe blow to the axis of resistance, and in addition to strengthening the arrogant forces, it will also weaken the resistance forces. In addition, if the enemies can dominate Syria with the opposition forces, perhaps there will be no need for the movement and rebellion of Sufyani for a while. However, if the evil forces cannot dominate the situation in Syria and the Levant with their numerous forces, at these critical moments they will have no choice but to move their main pawn, namely Sufyani.

Quote

The Turks and their presence in the land of Syria before the departure of Sufyani:

After that, the Turks will enter Damascus and from there go to the Jazirah (island maybe Al-Hirah) ....

The Occultation of Sheikh Tusi 279, Besharat al-Islam p. 177 and ...

Artat says: Sufyani will fight the Turks and after that they will be eradicated by the hands of Mahdi (peace be upon him).

Malahim wa Fitan, chapter 57 - p. 24

Yazid ibn Jabir and others have narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) that he said: The Turk tribe will have two exits: first, they will destroy (wherever they come across), and second, they will rush towards the Euphrates River.

Malahim wa al-Fitn, Chapter 57 - Page 24

The role of the Turks in the developments of the era of the advent and before it has been stated in numerous narrations by the Ahl al-Bayt ((عليه السلام).). Some researchers, such as Allamah Kurani, believes that the Turks have a broad meaning and can be considered to include the Russians in the north, some Eastern European nations in the west, as well as the Mongols and Tatars, and of course the Turks of Turkey and Azerbaijan.

notice:sahipkiran contains false information about Iran & Bashar al-Assad based on pan-Turkish (neo ottoman) accusations against  Iran & Bashar al-Assad & Hezbollah which only narration can be used but on the other hand conclusion of site from it is totally wrong .

Not really,  most of the people celebrating are doing so more because of Bashar being removed. Many of them aren't particularly religious and just needed something to celebrate, similar to Egypt and Tunisia in the past.

If they are cheering for that system then they must be made to enjoy all the advantages of that system. 

Let them know that choices come with consequences. Send them back to their 'free Syria'; they were fleeing Assad, right? Now that he's gone, they don't have any excuse to stay back. Deport them
