Our Grandshaykh said...


“If twelve thousand real believers 
were to fight against seven kingdoms, 
they would win.”


Hadith also tells us that...


“It is impossible not to win, 
if twelve thousand of my nation 
will go against any army.”

The quantity isn’t important.

But the quality is.

In the army of Mahdi ﷺ , each man will be worth an army.

What will be their qualities?

“If you cut off their skins,” said our Shaykh, they would not change!”

The owner of Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him)...

placed him under a rock in the desert.

His only reply was, “Allah, Allah!”

If a person has real faith like that, in difficult situations Heavenly power will come to him. 

If there is no faith, he will die.

Our Grandshaykh told Mawlana...

that one day, he was at sea in a terrible storm.

Quickly, the little boat in which he was traveling began to fill with water. All the people began to panic, except our Grandshaykh and one other man. Our Grandshaykh asked that fellow, “Why aren’t you afraid?” “O Shaykh ‘Abdullah,” replied the man, “nothing is changing. We are in Allah’s hands!”

Soon, a big ship came.

And saved them all from the storm.

In this way...

Allah Almighty was testing and trying his servants.

When He sees that their lman is all right, He takes them out of danger. For this, a servant must develop ‘sakina’ [calm, tranquility] in the face of difficulties.

When Mahdi ﷺ comes...

twelve thousand soldiers from five countries in the West (known only to the Awliya) will come.

Those twelve thousand are always in contact with Divine powers, a sign of real faith. They are forever steadfast, never turning their faces from the Face of Allah Almighty, under any circumstances.

Armies turn to ashes under their gaze. They are descendants of Sayyidina Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). When Mahdi ﷺ says, “Allahu Akbar!” they will be ready at the south gate of Damascus, from Aman. Allah sets limits, and this one is soon to be suddenly finished. Each happening has its proper time. You may wake in the morning to a different world!
