First of all, it must be known that the fall of Constantinople will be followed by the emergence of the Antichrist, and that the Antichrist will be accompanied by seventy thousand Jews
The first epic (The Antichrist has 70,000 Jews from Isfahan against the Muslims)
In a hadith of Muslim, they will conquer Constantinople (now Istanbul). While they are dividing the spoils, they have hung their swords on olive trees, when Satan shouts at them: The Antichrist has left you with your families, so they will return to Syria, and that is false. When they reach Syria, the Antichrist will actually come out. While they are preparing for battle, the Antichrist will straighten the rows when the prayer is called, and Jesus, son of Mary, will descend, That the camp or leadership, the leadership center of the Muslims in Damascus, in the Ghouta, so when the Muslims return to their place, and straighten the rows for prayer, at this time when the call to prayer is made, Jesus - peace be upon him - will descend, placing his hands on the wings of two angels, he descends at the White Minaret east of Damascus. The White Minaret is now located, and it is one of the minarets of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. When Jesus, peace be upon him, descends, peace be upon him, he said: Then Jesus, son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend and lead them in the prayer of the Muslims. When the enemy of God, the Antichrist, sees him, he will melt away as salt melts in water. If he were to leave him, he would melt away until he perishes. But God will kill him with His hand and show them his blood on his spear. [Narrated by Muslim: 2897] when the Antichrist comes, and with him are seventy thousand Jews, from the Jews of Isfahan, which is a city in Persia that is now well-known, the Antichrist and the Jews who are with him will besiege Jesus and the Muslims, but God will grant victory to the Muslims, so they will conquer the city and attack the Antichrist and those with him.
The details of the battle between the Muslims and the Jews of Isfahan led by the Antichrist
A very great battle will take place between the Muslims and the Jews who are with the Antichrist. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said in this battle: The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them until the Jew hides behind rocks and trees, the stone or tree will say: O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, so come and kill him, except for the gharqad, for it is one of the trees of the Jews. [Narrated by Muslim: 2922]
On the authority of Ibn Omar, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
The Antichrist will descend into this salt marsh, which is a salty land that does not grow anything, and what is meant is outside the city. He will not enter the city of the Prophet but he will roam the earth and then the end will be that he will be besieged. The last round of the Antichrist will be that he will be besieged by Jesus, son of Mary, and the Muslims. He said: Then God will give power to the Muslims over him, and they will kill him and kill his followers. And who are his followers? the Jews, even if a Jew hides under a tree or a stone, the stone or tree will say to the Muslim: There is a Jew under me, so kill him [Narrated by Ahmad: 5353]. Al-Albani said: “Its chain of transmission is good, were it not for the narration of Ibn Ishaq” [The Story of the Antichrist: 1/23].
It is also indicated that this fighting will take place after the emergence of the Antichrist
What Ibn Majah narrated on the authority of Abu Umamah al-Bahili, who said: “The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, gave us a sermon, and most of his sermons were hadiths. We told him about the Antichrist and warned him.”
He mentioned his exit, then the descent of Jesus - peace be upon him - to kill him. In the hadith: Jesus - peace be upon him - said after finishing the prayer that was called, and the Muslims were besieged and had prayed, he said: Open the door, so it opens and behind him is the Antichrist, with him are seventy thousand Jews, all of them with a adorned sword and a saqeel: It is the green cloak and a type of clothing. He said: When the Antichrist looks at it, that is, at Jesus, he will melt as salt melts in water and will run away. Jesus, peace be upon him, will say: I have a strike against you that you will not be able to defeat before I strike you. You will not melt before I strike you. He will catch up with him at the eastern gate of Lod and kill him, and God will defeat the Jews.
The eastern Lod
It is a Canaanite city, one of the largest and oldest cities in historical Palestine.
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar used this hadith in Al-Fath as evidence that this battle with the Jews will take place after the emergence of the Antichrist and the descent of Jesus. [Fath Al-Bari: 6/610]
And his saying: “Open the door” means
the door of the mosque, and the eastern Lod in the old city of Jerusalem is well-known, and Jesus will catch up with him there.
Al-Gharqad: a thorny tree known in Jerusalem.
Ahmad also mentioned in the hadith of the eclipse that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
He said in the sermon on the eclipse after the prayer: By God, I have seen since I began praying what you will encounter in your worldly and afterlife affairs. By God, the Hour will not come until thirty liars emerge, the last of whom is the one-eyed Antichrist, then he said: He will appear on the entire earth, he will roam the earth and wipe out all of it except the Sacred Sanctuary and the Holy House. The Antichrist will not be able to storm the Holy House, and he will confine the believers in the Holy House, and they will be shaken violently, then God Almighty will destroy him and his soldiers until he cuts off the wall or says: the root of the wall, calling out, or saying: O believer, or he says: O Muslim, this is a Jew, or he says: This is an infidel, so kill him [Narrated by Ahmad: 20190]
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar said: Its chain of transmission is good. [Fath Al-Bari: 13/87], and Al-Albani commented on Ibn Khuzaymah by declaring him weak [Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah: 1397] The stone's pronunciation here is a real pronunciation, there is no doubt about that.
Another weak hadith was reported by Al-Tabarani
You will fight the polytheists until the rest of you fight the Antichrist on the Jordan River, you are on its east and they are on its west [Musnad al-Shamiyyin by al-Tabarani: 638, and Da’if al-Jami’: 4656].
The Second Epic with the Jews (The Battle of Armageddon)
Or what the Jews and Christians call it in their books (Tel Megiddo)
It is a well-known hill in the land of Palestine, because Har means mountain in Arabic, Megiddo is the valley “Megiddo”, and this place is 55 miles from Tel Aviv and 20 miles east of Haifa, and 15 miles from the shores of the Mediterranean. The Talmud, in which the ancient rabbis interpreted the texts of the Torah, mentioned in it.
Before the Jews finally rule, a war must break out between the nations during which two-thirds of the world will perish. It will last seven years, and the weapons they acquired after victory will be, some Jews wrote about their understanding of this: we read in the Law of the Prophets that we are chosen by God to rule the earth and God has given us the genius to be able to do this work, If there is a genius in our enemy's camp, he may fight us, but the newcomer will not be a match for our old hands.
Al-Bukhari (3593) and Muslim (2921)
narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar, may God be pleased with them both, who said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say: (The Jews will fight you, and you will prevail over them. Then the stone will say: O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, so kill him.)
In Sahih Muslim (2922) on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
(The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them until the Jew hides behind stones and trees, Then the stone or the tree will say: O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, so come and kill him, except for the gharqad, for it is one of the trees of the Jews.
The Comment
This is how life on earth ends as it began, and the life that people knew has changed. The descent of the Antichrist and with him Jews from the Jews of Isfahan who fight with him is one of the major signs of the Hour, If it starts from one of them, it will fall apart like a broken necklace, such as the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of the Antichrist, and the descent of our master Jesus - peace be upon him and the emergence of the beast and others - so the descent of Jesus - peace be upon him - at the end of life on earth (Islam’s perspective on the end on earth) and the Muslims’ leadership in the Muslims’ prayers is like the heavenly messages that had ended with the final Muhammadan message with Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, so the earth ends with what it began (the heavenly messages) All of which call for the oneness of God - the Almighty - and that there is no god but God - the Blessed and Exalted - not for those who claim divinity (like the Antichrist) or those who attribute to someone that he is a god (like Jesus, peace be upon him). God - the Blessed and Exalted - will inherit the earth and everything on it after it has changed in form and content. The beginning of the afterlife will begin, which is the blowing of the trumpet and the death of everyone on the earth, then the blowing of it again, and then all people will rise from their graves to be held accountable before the Lord of the Worlds.
