hear of this, so he will go out with an assembly of soldiers under flags to fight
them (this refers to his second coming to Iraq), and the people of the East will be
defeated until they enter Kufa, where he will kill their fighting men, take their

(Iraq) but Allah will defeat him (Az-Zuhri) and those with him (other Roman
soldiers from other lands) will be terrified at the sight of all the dead bodies thrown
into the river, and they will realize they have been defeated. So (after the battles),
their (The Mawla and his army) cavalry will head to Yemen. While they are camped
between the two rivers and Allah will give victory to him (The Mawla) and those
with him (i.e. before the battles and before heading to Yaman). So the people's
affair will be righted, and they will enjoy a happy unity. Then they will go until they
settle in Ash-Sham where they will remain for a long time under a righteous rule
(Rule of Al-Qahtāni).

Then Qays (tribe in Iraq whose people are the major supporters of Az-Zuhri) will
rise up against them (i.e. this line refers to the battles before the victory of The
Mawla), so the people of Yaman (The Mawla and his army) will kill them until one
would think that (almost) no one from Qays is left alive. Then a man from the
people of Yaman will stand up and say, "Fear Allah regarding your brothers!"

Then the remnants of Qays will go until they settle between the two rivers where
they assemble a great army and appoint as their ruler a man from Banu Makhzum.
Then the ruler of the Yaman (The Mawla) will die, and Qays will rejoice at his
death. The Makhzumi will march (wage war) until when the last of them (Al-
Qahtāni's army) has crossed the Euphrates (to war the Makhzumi), the Makhzumi

people of Palestine, who will rise up against him. So he will seek help from the
people of Jordan, remaining among them for two months. Then he will draw his
sword against them, and they will rise up against him. So he will leave, fleeing, until
he settles in Damascus. Have you seen the door posts at the gate of Al-Jabiya at
the place of the money-changers, there is a circular stone at five cubits from it?
There, he (Az-Zuhri) will be slaughtered (beheaded), and the mention of his blood

3. Chapter V
Al-Qahtāni, Al-Mufrij
The Fifth Rightly-Guided Quraishi Caliph of Islam of the End Times

======================================================
The Rise of Al-Qahtāni [1]
The Fifth Rightly-Guided Quraishi Caliph of Islam of the End Times
======================================================

After the martyrdom of The Mawla, Fourth Rightly-Guided Quraishi Caliph of Islam
of the End Times, the Romans deep in the valleys of Antioch will celebrate for their
success in killing him. There will be a great celebration in the town,- eating,
drinking and music. Then few gunshots will be heard, people will be running in fear,
fleeing. The gun shots turn into the sounds of fierce gun battles. The leader of the
Ajam Romans will be alarmed. His men will come to him and will inform him that
the Muslim Armies have come by surprise. The two Mahdis (Al-Qahtāni and Al-
Mansur) will have arrived for their promised revenge.

The two brothers will attack the Roman strongholds in Antioch. They will war them
fiercely and they will kill them without mercy. The juggernaut attack will burn down
forts and towns. Many Ajam Romans will be killed, the rest scattered fleeing. Then
they will capture their leader and bring him to City Fort Madina, the same man who
orders the killing of The Mawla and the same man who converted Az-Zuhri to
Christianity. They turn him over to the Adviser to the Mawali Caliphs and after that
nothing will be heard of him anymore.
The two brothers will be successful in their attacks against the Ajam Romans, but
news from Iraq will bring them grief. The Qays/Quraish of Iraq under a Makhzumi,
after having assembled a great army, [2] attack and kill all the fighters of the
Caliphate stationed there, the deaths doubled to what The Mawla killed of their
kinsmen and people during his rule.[3] While the two brothers were slaughtering
the Romans in Antioch, the Makhzumi and his army in Iraq were slaughtering the
forces of the Caliphate stationed there, until nobody among them remains alive
except for their women.[4] Qays/Quraish gains total control of Iraq. They are the
Khawārij that the Prophet, SAAS, prophesied about that will rise in Iraq in the End
Times.[5]

The people of Yaman will be alarmed of the new development in Iraq. They will
fear for their family and territory from the attacks of the Makhzumi and his army.
So the two brothers withdraw from Antioch to Baytul Maqdis. The fighters of
Yaman in the army of the two Mahdis will withdraw from the ranks and will go to
Yaman. There they meet with other Yaman leaders and unite to create a new
armed front in Yaman.[6] This is the time that the Black Flags of the East will be
divided into three: one Khawārij army in Iraq, one army in Yaman and one army in
Ash-Shām. [7] The two brothers are the leaders of the Army of Ash-Shām and they
comprise the majority of the people that day. In a hadith, the Prophet, SAAS, was
asked as to which group a man (i.e. the questioner) should join if he should reach
that time? The Prophet, SAAS, replied, "You should go to Ash-Shām for it is the
best of Allah's lands, and the best of his servants (i.e. the Mawali group) will be
drawn to there. If you do not (go to Ash-Shām), go to the Yemen and drink from its
wells. For Allah has guaranteed me that He will look after Ash-Shām and its
people." [8]

Meanwhile, the matter of leadership of the Caliphate will not have been settled
then, because just after the burial of The Mawla, the two brothers immediately
attack the Roman strongholds in Antioch. Then it is followed by the attacks of
Qays/Quraish upon the Islamic nation's forces in Iraq, and then the immediate
result of division of the armed forces. So the two brothers become angry of this
division and they decide to choose a man to lead the Caliphate. So they say  to the
people of Yaman and the people of Iraq, "Come, let us appoint as our ruler a man
from the knowledgeable people of religion."[9] So the people of Yaman will send
their group of leaders, the people of Iraq, from Mudhar, will also send their group
and also a group from The Mawali and they will meet in Baytul Maqdis. Then they
will read Qur'an verses to remind themselves to fear Allah in the great
responsibility of choosing a Caliph, and will make du'a and ask Allah to guide them
to make the correct choice. Each group will take turns to speak as to who they
believe should best rule. They will not agree on one person, so they call to the
Adviser to the Mawali Caliphs for mediation and he will announce to them, "Give
bay'ah to so and so, and do not turn back on your heels after emigrating." So they
will look but they will not know the man (owner of the name) who was  called to be
given bay'ah. He will announce it again three times. Then they will give bay'ah to Al-
Qahtāni,[10] The Mahdi II, the man with the pierced ears, [11] a man from the
Mawali, to become their Caliph, the youngest of the leaders of the Hashimis. This
bay'ah will be given to him in the year 2044, [12] the same year he will rule. So they
return to their places, having appointed a man from the people of religion. So woe
unto the enemies of Islam, the Romans and the Khawārij of Qays/Quraish from his
rule. He truly is a young Caliph to be feared![13]

So the Caliph, Al-Qahtāni, Mahdi II, will settle the problem of rebellion of the people
of Iraq, the Khawārij. He will send a delegation of ten men to the Makhzumi, to
facilitate preliminary talks on the possibility of achieving peace through peaceful
means. But the Makhzumi will kill nine of them and leave one alive to return to Al-
Qahtāni, Mahdi II, and inform him of what happened. Then Al-Qahtāni will send
five, and he (Makhzumi) will kill four and let one go. Then Al-Qahtāni will send
three men, and the Makhzumi will kill two and leave one. [14] Al-Qahtāni will finally
decide that the affair of Iraq will not be solved by peaceful means. So he prepares
an army and attacks the people of Iraq. He will have the support of the people,
including those of Yaman. There will ensue a fierce fight and Allah will give the
Qahtāni, the Second Mahdi, victory. Allah, SWT, will cause the Makhzumi to be
killed as well as the Qays/Quraish people. None will escape except those who flee.
He will not leave a single Qays/Quraishi without killing him, so that if one were to
look for a single Qays/Quraishi he would not find one. They will be a clan totally
extinguished in Iraq. They are the people/clan of Jurhum.[15]

The death of the Makhzumi and of Qays/Quraish people will bring peace again to
Iraq. For the rest of his rule he will go after the Qays who fled to the seas and
borders. He will hunt them down until not one of them from the clan of the
Makhzumi will be found alive. The people's affair will be righted, and the people
will be united again under one leadership and they will be happy for this unity. Then
they will go until they settle in Ash-Shām (Greater Syria)[16] where they will remain
for a long time under the righteous rule of Al-Qahtani, Second Mahdi.[17]

After eight years of Al-Qahtani's rule in Baytul Maqdis, the Romans will launch their
Third Invasion.[18]

======================================
The Third Roman Invasion, World War VI, 2052
======================================

After the Romans' defeat in the Second Invasion, they will amass an army larger
than their first army. They will head to and disembark in Akka (Acre) in Palestine.
They will have chosen as a king, the son of their king who was killed. Al-Qahtāni
will prepare his army and he will meet the Roman army in the battlefields of Akka.
In the final days of the battles, there will be a fierce fight and victory will be
withheld from the Muslims for forty (40) days. So Al-Qahtāni will ask for
reinforcements from the people of all Muslim lands. There will be slowness in
sending these support armies on the part of other Muslim groups. On the Roman's
side there will not be a Christian freeman or slave who will not go to help the
invading Romans.[19] So one third of the people of Ash-Shām will flee and one
third will be killed and Allah will grant victory to those remaining third. Some time
near the end of this forty days battle, Al-Qahtāni will send a man from the people
of the West, heavy built and broad-shouldered, to lead brigades to attack the
Romans.[20] This man is an Unsheathed Sword of Allah that He will send to
slaughter a great number of Romans in this invasion. He will become the major
cause for the defeat of the Romans. He will kill whoever he meets in the battles.
No Roman who stands in his way will live. He will break through their defenses
until he reaches Baytul Maqdis. There he will be wounded by a mounted armoured
vehicle and will be martyred. [21] In the fortieth day of the Battle, Al-Qahtāni will
lead the Muslims in their final attack spearheaded by those brigades that were
under the command of the martyred man of the West, and defeat the Romans
such a defeat that has never been heard of before, and they will kill the king of the
Romans. The remnant Roman army of the land will flee by land and those of the
sea will flee by sea.[22]

From the time of the invasion to the end of his rule spanning six years, Al-Qahtāni,
Mahdi II, will launch wars against the Romans of the northern valleys of Antioch.
He will kill everyone of them that he captures.

=================
Al-Qahtāni, Mahdi II
=================

He is the man whose lineage will be witnessed by Harith Ibn Harrath on paper. His
father will say, "I would like to ask you to be my witness that nine months from
now my wife will give birth to my child. I ask and inform you this to be free from
any Fitnah regarding my wife's pregnancy and my son's lineage, for the situation
will be out of my control then by the that time in the very near future. You once
asked me to bear witness for the lineage of your youngest daughter before her
birth, I ask you to do the same for me now." So Harith signs a paper attesting to
this.

His mother will keep the knowledge of her pregnancy only to herself. Al-Qahtani's
birth will then come unexpected. He will be born hidden from the knowledge of the
people. His mother will have his ears pierced [23] and he will become the daughter
she will never have. He will be born in a place called "Krimith" in Baytul Maqdis.[24]

He will grow up away from his father and brothers. His grandmother will rear him
to his teen age.

People will say that the Mawla has died. But every time they look at Al-Qahtāni and
call him by his name, they know that The Mawla is alive.

He will study religion from the universities of Madina, and he will become a learned
person in the matters of religion.

He will join the battles in his early teens. In the later battles of Malhama he will be
seen with his two brothers The Mawla and Al-Mansur. But he will not be as popular
and charismatic as they will be. Very few people will know about him but he will be
well-known among the learned Mujahideen. He will be hidden from the general 
knowledge of the people.

During his rule the Romans will not mention his name except that they shudder in
fear. They will know him as the man who brings the fires of hell just to burn their
Christian souls.

The Duhaima Trial [25] will begin in his rule when he fights the Khawārij of Qays
people of Iraq under the leadership of a Makhzumi, spanning fourteen years of
war, and ends upon his martyrdom.

He will rule for fourteen years.[26] He will be the longest ruling Mahdi of Quraish,
the youngest of the Mahdis, among the best loved of the Ahlul Bayt by the people,
and among the most feared by the enemies of Islam.

==========================
Epilogue to Al-Qahtāni, Mahdi II
==========================

Al-Qahtāni, Mahdi II, will be best known as the Qahtāni who will drive the people
with his stick.[27]

He will be a terrible and a ruthless enemy of the Romans and of the Khawārij. He
will not have any peace treaties with them and will war them fiercely and will not
forgive even the smallest of their crimes. He will order the digging of a very deep,
big and round pit hole on the earth and cements the edges of that pit like that of
the brink of a water dam. Then he will fill that concave with firewoods and oil. The
Qahtāni will light a great fire, a fire that will burn for fourteen long years.

So he lines up his shackled Romans and Khawārij enemies on the brink of that pit
and the breath of the fierce burning fire they feel will bring great terror to their
hearts and make them move backwards. So the Qahtāni drives them forward to
the edge, pushing their backs with his long stick, until they fall, one by one, to burn
in that pit of fire. He will drive thousands upon thousands of them with his stick
into the fire to burn for the next fourteen years of his rule, without mercy.

While the kings that have walked before on the earth strove to build paradise in
this world, Al-Qahtāni, Mahdi II, of the Ahlul Bayt, builds hell. He is Al-Qahtāni, the
Hell-Raiser.

and leave one. Then he will march to him and Allah will make him victorious over
him. Allah will kill him (Makhzumi) and those with him and none escapes except
those who flee.

He (Al-Qahtāni) will not leave a single Qays/Quraish (of the Khawārij) without
killing him, so that if one were to look for a single Quraishi, he would not find one.

Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas said, "I found in some of the Books (of Christians and
Jews) when we conquered on the Day of Yarmouk: The name of Abu Bakr As-
Siddiq, you got his name right, Umar Al-Farouq as an iron horn, Uthman who is Dhu
Nurain (the one with two lights) has been given two portions of mercy for he was
innocently killed, you got his name right, then there will be As-Saffah (Butcher).
Then there will be Al-Mansur. Then there will be the Mahdi. Then there will be Al-
Ameen (Trustworthy). Then there will be Seen and Peace. Then there will be Amr
of Usab. Six of them will be from the descendants of Ka'ab bin Luay, and one man
from Qahtān. Each of them (these Caliphs) will be good and not be seen like him."
Nua'im bin Hammad's Kitab Al-Fitān

18.]  From Awf Ibn Malik Al-Ashjā-i that the Messenger of Allah, SAAS, said, "There
will be born among Banu Al-Asfar (Romans) a boy from the descendants of kings,
who will age in a day as a child ages in a week, and who will age in a week as a
child ages in a month, and who ages in a month as a child ages in a year. When he
reaches the age of twelve (12) years they will make him their king..." Al-Hākim

19.]  "In the Second War, they (Romans) after their defeat (in the First War during
the rule of The Mawla) will amass an army larger than their first army. They will
head to and disembark in Akka (Acre) in Palestine. They will have chosen as a
king, the son of their king who was killed. He will meet the Muslims (in the
battlefields) in Akka. Victory for the Muslims will be withheld for forty (40) days.
So, the people of Ash-Shām (Baytul Maqdis) will ask for help from the people of
Muslim lands. There will be slowness in sending support armies. (On the Roman's
side) there will not be a Christian freeman or slave who will not go to help the
Romans. So one third of the people of Ash-Shām will flee and one third will be
killed and Allah will grant victory to those remaining third. They
