All About Islam - Tempat Kemunculan Imam Mahdi
The emergence of the Mahdi as delivered by Ibn Kathir is going to come from the East or al-Masyriq. He said: "the emergence of the Mahdi from the lands East of Samarra from the cave, not as alleged by those ignorant of the Shia" [1].
Ibn katheer said: "and those from the East support (al-Mahdi), helped him and enforcing his religion, as well as mengokohkannya. Their flag is black, and it is the clothing that has the authority, as the flag of the black Prophet named (al-Iqab) ", then he also asserts that:" that is, al-Mahdi who had promised commendable discharge at the end of the time of origin of the emergence is from the East, and diba'iat in the Kaaba as mentioned by the text of the Hadith (nas)" [2].
There are other opinions about the emergence of the Mahdi with different views of the mother Katsir, namely that the Mahdi will come out of the West or the maghrib, this opinion of Imam al Qurtubi.
But the right for authors is the view which says that places the emergence of the Mahdi is from the East, namely the Earth God next to the East (masyrik), as history clearly shows, such as the following history:
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ فِتْيَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اغْرَوْرَقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَتَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا نَزَالُ نَرَى فِي وَجْهِكَ شَيْئًا نَكْرَهُهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ اخْتَارَ اللَّهُ لَنَا الْآخِرَةَ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي سَيَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي بَلَاءً وَتَشْرِيدًا وَتَطْرِيدًا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ مَعَهُمْ رَايَاتٌ سُودٌ فَيَسْأَلُونَ الْخَيْرَ فَلَا يُعْطَوْنَهُ فَيُقَاتِلُونَ فَيُنْصَرُونَ فَيُعْطَوْنَ مَا سَأَلُوا فَلَا يَقْبَلُونَهُ حَتَّى يَدْفَعُوهَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَيَمْلَؤُهَا قِسْطًا كَمَا مَلَئُوهَا جَوْرًا فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَأْتِهِمْ وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَى الثَّلْجِ
From Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said: "our side During the Prophet, all of a sudden a group of youth than the Bani Hashim came. When the Prophet saw them, both eyes King teary-eyed and hue of the Prophet's face changed. Then I said, "we look upon your face our sadness that makes the hue of the restless". Rasullah saw then said: "Verily, we the people of the temple. God Almighty has chosen the afterlife for us from the world. And, indeed, sepeninggalku, my family will get to the disasters and expulsion. So come a House from the East, together they are no black flags. They ask for a favor, but they were denied, and they fight and got help so they were given what they ask, but they don't accept it. So they handed the leadership to one of my father's House. Then he filled the Earth with justice as the person to comply with the terrors. Whoever among you shall meet him, then come to meraka, although with crawling on top of the snow ". (Sunan IBN maajah, no.: 4072).
عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْتَتِلُ عِنْدَ كَنْزِكُمْ ثَلَاثَةٌ كُلُّهُمْ ابْنُ خَلِيفَةٍ ثُمَّ لَا يَصِيرُ إِلَى وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ تَطْلُعُ الرَّايَاتُ السُّودُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ فَيَقْتُلُونَكُمْ قَتْلًا لَمْ يُقْتَلْهُ قَوْمٌ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ شَيْئًا لَا أَحْفَظُهُ فَقَالَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَبَايِعُوهُ وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَى الثَّلْجِ فَإِنَّهُ خَلِيفَةُ اللَّهِ الْمَهْدِيُّ
From Tsauban, the Prophet bersabad: three men will fight on the side of the Repertory. All of them was the son of the Caliph, but none of them managed to master it. Then came the flag-flag (banner) black from the East, then they kill you with a murder that has never been experienced by a people before you. So if you see it, do the bai'at though with crawling over snow, because he was Caliph of God ". (Sunan IBN maajah, no.: 4074).
Pembai'atan is told that the Mahdi will be done between the pillars (the black stone) and the Maqam (Abraham), as clearly mentioned in the Hadith:
يُبَايَعُ لِرَجُلٍ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ، وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَسْتَحِلُّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ أَهْلُهُ، فَإِذَا اسْتَحَلُّوهُ، فَلاَ تَسْأَلْ عَنْ هَلَكَةِ الْعَرَبِ، ثُمَّ تَجِيء الْحَبَشَةُ، فَيُخَرِّبُونَهُ خَرَابًا لاَ يُعَمَّرُ بَعْدَهُ، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ كَنْزَهُ.
"A man will dibai'at between pillars (the black stone) and the Maqam (Abraham). Nothing can justify the Kaaba unless residents around it, then when they have menghalalkannya, do not asked again would be the destruction of the Arab people. Then people will come to Habasyah tore it down until completely collapsed, and there will be no longer be built after that time. It was they who unleashed the Kaaba Treasury. " (Sahih Ibn Hibbaan, no.: 6827).
Signs of the emergence of the Mahdi
Among the signs of the emergence of the Mahdi at the end of the age, in a Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad gave a general overview about the sign of the coming of the Mahdi. He will be sent to earth when the dispute, the dispute between pergaduhan and-humans increasingly hard and rampant, the occurrence of many natural disasters of earthquake. And the two social phenomena and phenomena of this nature has been a lively variety of the country today.
أُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِالْمَهْدِيِّ يُبْعَثُ فِي أُمَّتِي عَلَى اخْتِلَافٍ مِنْ النَّاسِ وَزَلَازِلَ فَيَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا وَظُلْمًا
"I'm khabarkan happy news about the coming of the Mahdi sent by God into the midst of my people, exactly when many quarrels between humans and earthquake-earthquake. He will fill the Earth with justice and uphold honesty as was previously filled with despotism and arbitrariness "(Musnad Ahmad, no: 10898).
In another Hadith, described that the coming of the Mahdi will be accompanied by three major events and important, so that will attract the attention of humans when it it was:
- First: the prolonged Dispute on the death of a leader
- Second: dibai'atnya a man (the Mahdi) forcibly in front of the Kaaba.
- Third: its troops assigned to capture Mahdi and those who pledge allegiance to him. God immerse the entire army will stay at it except one or two people to report to a tyrant ruler gives them orders for the capture of the Mahdi. This is described in a history:
يَكُونُ اخْتِلَافٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ خَلِيفَةٍ فَيَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ هَارِبًا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهِنَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُ وَهُوَ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ وَيُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْثٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ فَيُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ
"Disputes will occur after the death of a leader, a man came forth from the inhabitants of Medina sought refuge to Mecca, then this man came to some people of the inhabitants of Mecca, and they forced the Mahdi membai'at, he dibai'at between the Pillars with Maqam Ibrahim (in front of the Kaaba). Then a man from the diutuslah residents of Sham, then they are immersed in an area called Al-Baida between Mecca and Medina. " (Sunan Abu Dawood: 3737).
When God allowed the Imam Mahdi to win his battles in a range, then at the end he will lead the world with pattern and line of leadership based on aqeedah Unity, namely human servitude to Allah alone. And will prove victorious war that will be led by the Mahdi. As the promise of Allah swt in the Hadith:
تَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللَّهُ
"You guys perangi Arabian peninsula and God give you guys a victory. You guys later Persian culture (the State Iran), and God give you guys a victory. Then you guys perangi Rum, and God give you guys a victory. Then you guys perangi Dajjal, and God give you guys a victory. " (Sahih Muslim, no: 5161).

Umm Salamah stated that the Prophet said:
يَكُوْنُ اخْتِلاَفٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ خَلِيْفَةٍ فَيَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ المَدِيْنَةِ هَارِبًا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَأْتِيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَيَخْرُجُوْنَهُ وَهُوَ كاَرِهٌ فَيُبَايِعُوْنَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ وَيُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْثٌ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَيُخْسِفَ بِهِمْ بِالبَيْدَاءِ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالمَدِيْنَةِ فَإِذَا رَأَى النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ أَتَاهُ أَبْدَالُ الشَّامِ وَعَصَائِبُ أهْلِ العِرَاقِ فَيُبَايِعُوْنَهُ، ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الشَّامِ أَخْوَالُهُ كَلْبٌ فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ بَعْثًا فَيُظْهِرُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَذَلِكَ بَعْثُ كَلْبٍ وَالْخَيْبَةِ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ غَنِيْمَةَ كَلْبٍ فَيُقَسِّمُ المَالَ وَيَعْمَلُ فِي النَّاسِ بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيُلْقِيَ الإِسْلاَمَ بِجِرَانِهِ فِي الأَرْضِ فَيَلْبَثُ سَبْعَ سِنِيْنَ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّى وَيُصَلِّى عَلَيْهِ الُمسْلِمُوْنَ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَيَلْبَثُ تِسْعَ سِنِيْنَ
The dispute "will appear when the death of a Caliph. Then a man Medina residents fled to the city of Makkah. Inhabitants of Makkah ever approached him, and asked her by force to get out of his house, while he did not want to. Then they membaiatnya among the Pillars (the black stone) and the Maqam (Abraham). Disiapkanlah troops from the army for her Sham to victory at Baida ', a place between Makkah and Madinah. When the people saw it, he was accosted by the figures and the Chief of the Sham Iraq, and they were membaiatnya. Then comes a (enemy) of Sham, which paman-pamannya from the tribe of Kalb. He was sending the troops to face them, then God hung up troops from the Sham, the army was the Army (which is driven by ambition) tribe of Kalb and that a defeat for the people who don't get ghanîmah Kalb. Hence Imam Mahdi gave the possessions and work in the midst of a society based on the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, convey Islam to the region around it. Not long after, for seven years, he died, and dishalatkan by the Muslims (in another narration is expressed, then, for nine years) ". (Sunan Abi Dawood: 3737).
In a Hadith mentioned the existence of the four wars that will be led by the Mahdi. The fourth war will be started with the Arabian peninsula's liberation from the domination of the Jabbriyyan Mulkan (Kings that imposing the will while neglecting the will of God and his Messenger). The following Hadith:
تَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ – ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللَّهُ
"You guys will perangi Arabian Peninsula so God you guys win it. Then you guys Persian perangi so God you guys win it. Then you guys perangi Ruum so God you guys win it. Then you guys perangi Dajjal so that God you guys win it. " (Sahih Muslim, no: 5161).
