HEBREWS 11:5 (LB)
ENOCH TRUSTED GOD TOO, AND THAT IS WHY GOD TOOK HIM AWAY TO HEAVEN WITHOUT DYING; SUDDENLY HE WAS GONE BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED GOD HAS SAID HOW PLEASED HE WAS WITH ENOCH.
JUDE 1 : 14-16 (LB)
ENOCH WHO LIVED SEVEN GENERATIONS AFTER ADAM, KNEW ABOUT THIS MEN AND SAID THIS ABOUT THEM; “SEE, THE LORD IS COMING WITH MILLIONS OF HIS HOLY ONES
“ HE WILL BRING THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD BEFORE HIM IN JUDGMENT, TO RECEIVE JUST PUNISHMENT, AND TO PROVE THE TERRIBLE THINGS THEY HAVE DONE IN REBELLION AGAINST GOD, REVEALING ALL THEY HAVE SAID AGAINST HIM.”
THESE MEN ARE CONSTANT GRIPERS, NEVER SATISFIED, DOING WHATEVER EVIL THEY FEEL LIKE; THEY ARE LOUD-MOUTHED “SHOE-OFFS,” AND WHEN THEY SHOW RESPECT FOR OTHERS, IT IS ONLY TO GET SOMETHING FROM THEM IN RETURN.
JUDE 1 : 14-16 (AMP)
It was about this people that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, when he said, “look, the Lord came with myriads of his holy ones to execute judgment upon all and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh and cruel things ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
These people are (habitual) murmurers, griping and complaining, following after their own desires (controlled by passion); they speak arrogantly, (pretending admiration and) flattering people to gain an advantage.
JOB 19:25-27 (LB)
BUT AS FOR ME, I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND THAT HE WILL STAND UPON THE EARTH AT LAST
AND I KNOW THAT AFTER THIS BODY HAS DECAYED, THIS BODY SHALL SEE GOD!
THEN HE WILL BE ON MY SIDE! YES, I SHALL SEE HIM, NOT AS A STRANGER, BUT AS A FRIEND! WHAT A GLORIOUS HOPE!
ISAIAH 45:15
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. KJV
The God of Israel, who saves his people, is a God who conceals himself. GNB
ISAIAH 8:17
I will wait for the Lord to help us, though he is hiding now. My only hope is in Him. LB
The Lord has hidden himself from his people, but I trust him and place my hope in him. GNB
MALACHI 3:1
The Lord Almighty answered, “I will send my messenger to prepare the way for me. then the Lord you are looking for will suddenly come to His temple . the messenger you long to see will come and proclaim my covenant.” GNB
“BEHOLD, I am going to send my messenger, and he will prepare and clear the way before Me. and the Lord, [the Messiah], whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold He is coming,” says the Lord of hosts. AMP
“Listen: I will send my messenger before me to prepare the way. And then the one you are looking for will come suddenly to His Temple – the Messenger of God’s promises, to bring you great joy. Yes He is surely coming.” Says the Lord of hosts. LB
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. KJV
LUKE 1:17
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; TO MAKE READY A PEOPLE PREPARE FOR THE LORD. KJV
“It is he who will go as a forerunner before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteousness (which is to seek and submit to the will of God) – IN ORDER TO MAKE READY A PEOPLE (PERFECTLY) PREPARED (SPIRITUALLY AND MORALLY) FOR THE LORD”. AMP
He will go ahead of the Lord, strong and mighty like the prophet Elijah. He will bring fathers and children together again. He will turn disobedient people back to the way of thinking of the righteousness; he will get the Lord’s people ready for him”. GNB
HEB. 9:28
So also Christ died only once as an offering for the sins of many people; and he will come again, but not to deal again with sins. This time he will come bringing salvation to all those who are eagerly and patiently waiting for him. LB
So Christ has once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. KJV
In the same manner Christ also was offered in sacrifice once to take to take away the sins of many. He will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are waiting for him. GNB
So Christ, having been offered once and once for all to bear (as a burden) the sins of many, will appear a second time (when he returns to earth), not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly and confidently waiting for him. AMP
PHIL. 2:6-7
Who, although existed in the form and unchanging essence of God (as one with him possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes – the entire nature of Deity) did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted (as if he would not already possess it or afraid of losing it) but emptied himself (without renouncing or diminishing his Deity, but only temporary giving up the outward expression of the divine equality and rightful dignity) by assuming the form of a bond servant and being made in the likeness of men (he became completely but was without sin) being fully God and fully man. AMP
Who though he was God did not demand and cling to his right as God but laid aside mighty power and glory taking a disguise of a slave and becoming like men. LB
He always had the nature of God but he did not think that by force He should try to remain equal with God. Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had. GNB
SONGS OF SOLOMON 1:6
“Look not upon me , because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept”. KJV
Don’t look down on me because of my color, because the sun has tanned me. my brothers were angry with me and made me work in the vineyard. I had no time to care for myself”. GNB
ISAIAH 63:1
“Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save”. KJV
“Who is this coming from the city of Bozrah in Edom? Who is this so splendid in red, matching along in power and strength? It is the Lord, powerful to serve, coming to announce his victory”. GNB
ISAIAH 25:9
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. KJV
When it happens, everyone will say, “He is our God! We have put our trust in him, and he has rescued us. He is the Lord! We have put our trust in him, and now we are happy and joyful because he has saved us”. GNB
It will be said in that day, “Indeed, this is our God that we have waited that He would save us. This is the Lord for whom we have waited; let us shout for joy and rejoice in his salvation.” (AMP)
MATTHEW 22:29
Jesus answered and said unto them, ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. KJV
Jesus answered them, “How wrong you are! It is because you don’t know the scriptures or God’s power”. GNB
The above situation that Jesus met in his day is still prevalent in our own day, which is the generation of the Son of Man. It is said that the greatest fool is one who doesn’t know, he doesn’t know that he does not know and he does not want to know. When you declare the wholesome scriptural truth to the people of this generation, they curse you, scorn you and even tag you an anti-Christ. When they see the anti-Christ with his messengers, they bow before him, calling him a great man of God. This occurs simply because they are ignorant of the scripture and the power of God.
People have been erring and it hinders them from getting acquainted and identifying with God and his messenger in every age, dispensation or generation because they do not know the scripture.
Did God promise to send his prophets? Yes! Did He say that people would accept them? Hear the scripture on this matter:
MATTHEW 23:34
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city. KJV
Therefore, take notice, I am sending you prophets and wise men (interpreters, teachers) and scribes (men educated in the Mosaic Law and the writings of the prophets); some of them you will kill and even crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue and persecute from city to city. AMP
And so I tell you that I will send you prophets and wise men and teachers; you will kill some of them, crucify others, and whip others in the synagogues and chase them from town to town. GNB
I will send you prophets and wise men, and inspired writers, and you will kill some by crucifixion, and rip open the backs of others with whips in your synagogues, and hound them from city to city. LB
The scripture never said that people would clap for those true prophets and messengers sent by God. They are disregarded and not counted among the clergies or big men of God as can be found in our society.
If you wish to come out of this error borne out of ignorance of the scripture and God’s power, incline your ears to this godly truth from Al-Mahdi himself.
ISAIAH 25:9
IN THAT DAY THE PEOPLE WILL PROCLAIM, “THIS IS OUR GOD, IN WHOM WE TRUST, FOR WHOM WE WAITED. NOW AT LAST HE IS HERE.” WHAT A DAY OF REJOICING! LB
SECTION 2
SOME SECRETS ON MAHDI (PBUH) IN ENOCH KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF PROPHET IDRIS (PBUH)
SOME SECRETS ON MAHDI (PBUH) IN ENOCH KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF PROPHET IDRIS (PBUH)
There is a book called the Book of Prophet Idris (pbuh). This book is accepted by some Jews and Christians. It is a very ancient book. However, the information inside the book is really amazing.
“And I looked, and I saw in it, a high throne, and its appearance was like ice, and its surrounds like the shining Sun and the sound of Cherubim.” (Enoch, p. 62, 18)
“And from underneath the high throne there flowed out rivers of fire so that it was impossible to look at it.” (Enoch, p. 62, 19)
For instance, the Book says, “And I looked, and I saw in it, a high throne, and its appearance was like ice” in other words, a vehicle with metallic appearance in which an occupant can be seated. “And its surrounds like the shining Sun”, in other words, there are lights around the object, such as the headlights and the rear lights. “And the sound of Cherubim”, which, refers to the sounds of the car. “And from underneath the high throne there flowed out rivers of fire.”
You know that the car has the combustion chamber, right? That is, the car has an engine, and the burning gases emit from there. “So that it was impossible to look at it” , in other words, the car is speeding up. That is a very interesting statement in a 2000-year old book; it is quite interesting.
“And He who is Great in Glory sat upon it, and his raiment was brighter than the Sun, and whiter than any snow.” (Enoch, p. 62, 20)
“And He who is Great in Glory sat upon it,”, in other words, it refers to the horse. “And his raiment was brighter than the Sun, and whiter than any snow.” He wears a white suit and shines like the Sun, insha’Allah.
“And all the valleys were deep and narrow, of hard rock, and a tree was planted on them.” (Enoch, p. 92, 5)
“A tree was planted on where they were located,” which is very remarkable as well, the Book says, “There was a tree planted inside a house.”
“And I saw their dwelling, under the Wings of the Lord of Spirits, and all the righteous and chosen shone in front of him, like the light of fire. And their mouths were full of blessing, and their lips praised the name of the Lord of Spirits. And righteousness will not fail in front of him, and truth will not fail in front of him.” (Enoch, p. 112, 7)
“And I saw their dwelling, under the Wings of the Lord of Spirits, and all the righteous and chosen shone in front of him, like the light of fire”, says the Book. It resembles Mahdi (pbuh) to the light of fire: “such bright and impressive.” “I saw their dwelling, under God, in front of him,” says the Book. “And their mouths were full of blessing,” it says. “Their lips praised the name of the Lord of Spirits,” in other words, they always praise God and chant the name of God.
“… And the second voice I heard blessing the Chosen One and the chosen who depend on the Lord of Spirits. (Enoch, p. 116, 4)
“And on that day I will cause My Chosen One to dwell among them and I will transform Heaven and make it an Eternal Blessing and Light.” (Enoch, p. 126, 4)
“The second voice I heard blessing the Chosen One and the chosen who depend on the Lord of Spirits,” in other words, it means that they, Mahdi (pbuh) and his followers, will be persecuted. “And on that day I will cause My Chosen One to dwell among them,” this means, ‘I will cause Mahdi (pbuh) to dwell.’ “I will transform Heaven”, that is, the sky, the sun, the stars and the moon, all, augur something to come. You know that there is the mentioning of solar and lunar eclipses in the hadith, which reads “the sun is a portent of things to come.” The sun produced the greatest explosion in this century. “Make it an Eternal Blessing and Light.” It means that ‘I will make it a blessing eternally.’
“And I will transform the dry ground and make it a blessing, and I will cause My Chosen Ones to dwell upon it; but those who commit sin and evil will not tread upon it. For I have seen, and have satisfied with peace, My Righteous Ones, and have placed them in front of Me; but for the sinners My Judgment draws near so that I may destroy them from the face of the earth.” (Enoch, p. 126, 5-6)
“And I will transform the dry ground”, “and make it a blessing”, in other words, it refers that ‘I will transform the earth,’ that the whole world will change. “I will cause My Chosen Ones to dwell upon it”, in short, I will cause Mahdi (pbuh) to dwell upon it. “But those who commit sin and evil will not tread upon it”, that is to say, I will render them, those who commit sin and who are opposed to the religion and to Islam, ineffective.
“This is the Son of Man who has righteousness and with whom righteousness dwells. He will reveal all the treasures of that which is secret.” (Enoch, p. 126, 3)
“This is the Son of Man who has righteousness and with whom righteousness dwells. He will reveal all the treasures of that which is secret,” says, the Book. It refers to, you know, the hidden treasures that date back to before the time of our Prophet (saas), and also those that date back to the time of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) and the Prophet Moses (pbuh), as well as, to the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant containing holy relics.
And this Son of Man, who you have seen, will rouse the kings and the powerful from their resting places, and the strong from their thrones, and will loose the reins of the strong, and will break the teeth of the sinners. (Enoch, p. 128, 4)
“And this Son of Man, who you have seen,” that is referring to Mahdi (pbuh). “Will rouse the kings from their resting places,” that is, the ruling will stand up in the time of Mahdi (pbuh). “Will loose the reins of the strong”, that is to say, they, namely the strong, subdue people and He will loose this symbolic yoke. In a sense, Mahdi (pbuh) will lose the yoke and people will feel at ease. “Will break the teeth of the sinners”, in other words, Mahdi (pbuh) will eliminate the power of the destruction of sinners and prevent them from damaging people, since their teeth symbolizes their destruction.
“… And they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits, and they will be driven from the houses of his congregation, and of the faithful, who depend on the Name of the Lord of Spirits.” (Enoch, p. 128, 7-8)
It refers to the system of dajjal, “And they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits”, as denying the name of God is that dajjal system. The expression of “Of his congregation, and of the faithful, who depend on the Name of the Lord of Spirits” refers to Mahdi (pbuh), and the followers of Mahdi (pbuh) who will be driven from their places of worship, namely their homes, and will be arrested and detained. It is quite interesting, is it not? It says that the followers of Mahdi (pbuh) will be driven from their homes and put in custody.
“And in that place I saw an inexhaustible spring of righteousness and many springs of wisdom surrounded it, and all the thirsty drank from them and were filled with wisdom, and their dwelling was with the Righteous and the Holy and the Chosen.” (Enoch, p. 130, chapter 48, 1)
See, “… All the thirsty drank from them and were filled with wisdom”, that is to say, everyone who listened to them and obtained this information, were filled with wisdom. “Their dwelling was with the Righteous and the Holy and the Chosen”, in other words, their call was with the Righteous and the Holy and the Chosen.
“And in that place I saw an inexhaustible spring of righteousness and many springs of wisdom surrounded it”, that is to say, a spring providing wisdom constantly. “An inexhaustible spring of righteousness,” which belongs to Mahdi (pbuh) who is the righteous. Bediuzzaman says Mahdi (pbuh) is righteous and faithful. He says, “Faithfulness, sincerity, solidarity.” “And in that place I saw an inexhaustible spring of righteousness”, which indicates that the power and loyalty is enormous.
“All the thirsty drank from them and were filled with wisdom and their dwelling was with the Righteous and the Holy and the Chosen”, that is to say, everyone who listened to them and obtained this information, were filled with wisdom. “Their dwelling was with the Righteous and the Holy and the Chosen”, in other words, their call was with the Righteous and the Holy and the Chosen.
“He will be a staff to the righteous and the Holy, so that they may lean on him and not fall, and he will be the Light of the Nations, and he will be the hope of those who grieve in their hearts.” (Enoch, p. 132, chapter 48, 4)
“He (Mahdi) will be a staff to the righteous and the Holy, so that they may lean on him and not fall,” which indicates that Mahdi (pbuh) will be an indestructible staff for mankind. “He will be the Light of the Nations”, which refers that he will be the light of all nations. “He will be the hope of those who grieve in their hearts.”
“All those who dwell upon the dry ground will fall down (on the ground) and worship in front of him, and they will bless, and praise, and celebrate with psalms, the name of the Lord of Spirits.” (Enoch, p. 132, chapter 48, 5)
“All those who dwell upon the dry ground will fall down (on the ground)”, which means that they will be rendered ineffective. It also refers to the destruction of Darwinism and materialism. “They will bless”, in other words, they will worship to God. They will be obedient to God, and they will praise Him. The book says, “(They) will celebrate with psalms, the name of the Lord of Spirits” at that time. That is, they will sing together.
And there will be neither iron for war nor material for a breastplate; bronze will be no use, and tin will be of no use and will count for nothing, and lead will not be wanted. (Enoch, p. 140, chapter 48, 8)
“At that time, there will be neither iron for war nor material for a breastplate”, which means that people will not need to protect themselves, and the arms industry will not use iron any more since there will be no weapons. “And lead will not be wanted.” It is quite noteworthy, see, the Book says that lead will not be wanted, which is reported by a two-thousand-year-old work.
“…The Pillars of the Earth were shaken from their foundations. And the sound was heard from the ends of the Earth to the ends of Heaven throughout one day.” (Enoch, page. 150, chapter 57, 2)
“The Pillars of the Earth were shaken from their foundations. And the sound was heard from the ends of the Earth to the ends of Heaven throughout one day”, which refers to the occurrence of earthquakes; the Book further says, “the Pillars of the Earth were shaken” , a tremor will happen. “And the sound”, namely the earthquake, “was heard from the ends of the Earth to the ends of Heaven throughout one day.” “Was heard from the ends of the Earth to the ends of Heaven throughout one day”, that is to say, the news of earthquake will spread over the world, and will be heard from the ends of the Earth.
And when the Day, and the Power, and the Punishment, and the Judgment come that the Lord of Spirits has prepared for those who worship the Righteous Judgment, and for those who deny the Righteous Judgment, and for those who take His name in vain – and that Day has been prepared. For the chosen a covenant, but for the sinners a visitation. (Enoch, page. 156, chapter 57, 6)
And when the Day, and the Power, and the Punishment, and the Judgment come that the Lord of Spirits has prepared for those who worship the Righteous Judgment, and for those who deny the Righteous Judgment, and for those who take His name in vain – and that Day has been prepared. For the chosen a covenant, but for the sinners a visitation”, which means that the opponents of Mahdi (pbuh) will be legally rendered ineffective in the world and in the Day of Judgment as well.
And thus the Lord commanded the kings, and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell upon the earth, and said: “Open your eyes and raise your horns if you are able to acknowledge the Chosen One.” (Enoch, p. 166, chapter 57, 1)
“And thus the Lord commanded the kings, and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell upon the earth”, that is to say, the Lord commanded the rulers in the world. If “you are able to acknowledge the Chosen one” namely, Mahdi (pbuh), “open your eyes”, in other words, if you are able to notice him, open your eyes.
And one half of them will look at the other, and they will be terrified, and will cast down their faces, and pain will take hold of them when they see that son of a woman sitting on the throne of His Glory. (Enoch, p. 166, chapter. 57, 5)
“And one half of them will look at the other, and they will be terrified, and will cast down their faces.” “When they see that son of a woman sitting on the throne of His Glory”, this refers to the mother of Mahdi (pbuh), since Mahdi (pbuh) does not have a father. See, “When they see that son of a woman sitting on the throne of His Glory”, in other words, sitting on the throne of Islam as the spiritual leader of Muslims; the Book further says, “they will pain will take hold of them when they see that” which means that His opponents will become overwhelmed.
“And one half of them will look at the other, and they will be terrified, and will cast down their faces”, that is to say, this will put a damper on them.
And the mighty kings, and all those who possess the earth, will praise and bless and exalt Him -the hidden one- who rules everything that is hidden. For from the beginning that Son of Man was hidden. The Most High kept him in the presence of His power, and revealed him only to the chosen. (Enoch, p. 168, chapter 57, 6-7)
“And the mighty kings, and all those who possess the earth, will praise and bless and exalt Him -the hidden one- who rules everything that is hidden”; in other words, all of them will praise and bless the hidden one, namely Mahdi (pbuh). That is, they will acknowledge the spiritual leadership of Mahdi (pbuh). “For from the beginning that Son of Man was hidden,” which indicates that Mahdi (pbuh) was already in concealment. It means that he was always hiding himself. “The Most High kept him in the presence of His power, and revealed him only to the chosen”, which means that he only revealed Mahdi (pbuh) to his distinguished followers. In this regard, Bediuzzaman says: “His elect and those close to him will recognize him through the light of belief” (Letters, p. 60). The 2000-year old book refers to the same thing, and mentions that those who set a trap for Mahdi (pbuh) will be judged. God says that He will punish those who persecute Mahdi (pbuh) and render them ineffective.
In those days, the mighty kings who possess the dry ground will entreat the Angels of His Punishment to whom they have been handed over so that they might give them a little respite. And so that they might fall down and worship in front of the Lord of Spirits, and confess their sins in front of Him. (Enoch, p. 170, chapter 63, 1)
“In those days, the mighty kings who possess the dry ground will entreat the Angels of His Punishment.”
And everything secret is clear, in front of You, and your power is for all generations, and your glory is forever and ever. Deep and without number are all your secrets and your righteousness is beyond reckoning. (Enoch, p. 170, chapter 63, 3)
“And everything secret is clear, in front of You” -namely, Mahdi (pbuh). “Your power is for all generations,” which refers to the generation of Mahdi (pbuh) as he is a descendant of our Prophet (saas), and the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). See that the Book says: “for all generations.” “And your glory is forever and ever. Deep and without number are all your secrets and your righteousness is beyond reckoning.”
And at that hour that Son of Man was named, in the presence of the Lord of Spirits, and his name brought to the Head of Days. (Enoch, p. 194, chapter. 70, 1)
“And at that hour that Son of Man was named, in the presence of the Lord of Spirits,” that is to say, Mahdi (pbuh) was named, “and his name brought to the Head of Days.” That is, everyone will speak of Mahdi (pbuh), which is mentioned in the hadiths as well:
“Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear, EVERYONE WILL SPEAK OF HIM (Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)) , drink of his (Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)love and SPEAK OF NOTHING ELSE.” (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhiraz-Zaman, p. 33)
“After a herald from the sky has cried out, “Truth lies with the people of Hazrat Muhammed (saas),” love for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will settle in people’s hearts and they WILL TALK OF NOTHING ELSE (Other than Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).” (IbnHajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 20)
“And it came to pass, after this, that my spirit was carried off, and it went up into the Heavens. I saw the sons of the Holy Angels treading upon flames of fire their garments were white, and their clothing, and the light of their face, was like snow.” (Enoch, p.194, chapter 71, 1)
“And it came to pass, after this, that my spirit was carried off, and it went up into the Heavens… their garments were white” which also refers to Mahdi (pbuh). “The light of their face was like snow,” in other words, they are saintly looking. The expression of “the light… was like snow” refers to the faces of Mahdi (pbuh) and his followers.
“And round about were the Seraphim and the Cherubim, and the Ophanim; these are They Who Do Not Sleep but keep watch over the Throne of His Glory.” (Enoch, p. 196, chapter 71, 7)
“And round about were the Seraphim and the Cherubim, and the Ophanim; these are They Who Do Not Sleep but keep watch over the Throne of His Glory.” Our Prophet (saas) says in the hadiths that Michael and Gabriel will protect Mahdi (pbuh):
“… His (Hazrat Mahdi’s (pbuh)) followers will be from the people of Yemen and Damascus. Gabriel will be before them, and Michael behind…” (IbnHajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi Alamat al-Mahdi al- Muntadhar, p. 47)
“GABRIEL WILL BE BEFORE THEM (HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH)), MICHAEL WILL BE ON HIS RIGHT, AND RAPHAEL WILL BE ON HIS LEFT SIDE. And fear will go before him, from his right and from his left on a monthly path. Angels close (to Allah) will be on his level…” (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 274)
“Allah will support him (Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)) with three thousand angels… ” (IbnHajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 41)
See, the Book says, “And round about were the Seraphim and the Cherubim, and the Ophanim; these are They Who Do Not Sleep,” which indicates that angels never sleep. “These are They Who Do Not Sleep but keep watch over the Throne of His Glory”, in other words, they will always protect Mahdi (pbuh). It is extensively narrated, which is noteworthy.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Enoch, known to be the book of the Prophet Idris (pbuh), consists of Enoch 1 and Enoch 2. The original language of Enoch 1 is GE’EZ, the official language of the King of Aksum (Axum) in Ethiopia. GE’EZ consists of the variations of Semitic alphabet depending on vocals.
The Book of Enoch was originally discovered by British explorer James Bruce in the Ethiopian monastery and subsequently translated by these two authors at different times. Certainly, it is not exactly a proof; however, it is very surprising and remarkable that a 2000-year old work describes Mahdi (pbuh) in detail… (Adnan Oktar’s live conversation on A9 TV dated January 31th 2013)
