Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his students are the “B’nai Israel” of the End Times. In the Torah, when we look for B’nai Israel the first thing that comes to mind is the Moshiach, that is, the Mahdi and his students. They are the true B’nai Israel.

Young girls will live their lives fully as young girls and so will the young men. The group of the Mahdi (pbuh) will pull people out of their graves, so to speak. In the hadiths our Prophet (saas) says “He will rejuvenate the world that was ruined before,” for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

People will approach the community of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) with suspicion as well. The whole Islamic world will have suspicions about them, and because of those suspicions they will only be 313 people.

The system of the Mahdi does not consist of a spiritual identity. Mahdi is a person, he has students. But of course his personality and his students together constitute a spiritual identity as well.

The real Mahdi (pbuh) has small power. I mean he has a small community, a small group of friends. Almighty God loves creating big things from scratch, He loves making tiny things great. For instance, God creates a big, 25 or 30 meter high fig tree from a small, tiny fig seed within 15 to 20 years and lets us eat hundreds of thousands of figs from that tree.

God does not only send Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), but He also sends Hazrat Mahdi's students as well. People might assume that it is only Hazrat Mahdi that is being sent but that is not the case. His 313 students are sent specifically as well.

If Mahdi and his students sincerely put an end to idolatry, God promises in Surat An-Nur verse 55 that He will make Islam prevail in the world. God says; "I will give you security, in place of your fear” “I will firmly establish your religion for you in all respects all through the world. But you should not ascribe partners to Me, that is all I ask from you," God says.

The students of the Mahdi are striving with all their might to get rid of this policy of hatred all over the world.

Our Prophet (saas) says that there will be three big breakaways in from the community of the Mahdi (pbuh).

Patience and determination are two characteristics of the students of the Mahdi (pbuh).

Both the People of Ar-Raqim [Inscription] and the People of the Cave consist of young people. The People of Ar-Raqim are the students of the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) and the People of the Cave are the students of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

Following all these sufferings a beautiful light, a radiance will prevail in the world insha'Allah. May God give us those beautiful days as soon as possible. May God make me and you as well, all of us students to the Mahdi. May God give us a beautiful system that would bring peace to the whole world.

Those following the Mahdi, those who are God-fearing are the students of the Mahdi (pbuh) and - God willing- they are the people of Heaven. Our Prophet (saas) refers to those 313 students as the center.

Love is the main characteristic of the community of the Mahdi; God loves them and they love God.

The bigots and the radicals of the End Times would have a great egocentricity, they would put on airs and would get wild and act like Pharaohs; some of them will. But the students of the Mahdi will be humble and loving. Towards whom? Towards Muslims.

Very rare, elect people, those who are specifically been inspired by God, those who are taken into a deep sleep approach the Mahdi (pbuh). Just like the People of the Cave. Such a person would not be able to go anywhere even if he wants to, because it is in his destiny. The will of a genuine student of the Mahdi would not be able to leave him. But the other ones cannot become his students even if they want to.

Adhesions to the system of the Mahdi in a calm, covert environment are much more eligible. For instance, there had been groups adhering to our Prophet (saas) but the good deeds they will attain for doing so is much less. The first ones to pledge allegiance are very eligible. The first 313 people, like the number of the companions who fought in the Battle of Badr, they are very important.

The students of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) are very loyal to their Master. They are very much committed to eachother. The students of the Mahdi are geniune Muslims.

The community of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) continues until Hijri 1506 (2082-2083 ). After Hijri 1506, the form of preaching the message of religion, their system changes completely. I mean after that date, Muslims would only be able to communicate with each other with very secret, hidden symbols, because they will kill all Muslims. The Qur'an will be burned and there will be nothing left pertaining to acts of worship. They will burn down the mosques, they will demolish the Kaba'a and only the plain field of the Kaba'a will remain. They will not leave behind anything pertaining to what is holy.

313 people that will accompany Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be people who have complete faith in Allah.

Bediuzzaman calls the students of Mahdi "sacred flowers."

Unbelievers are one nation. Some of them appear as the militants of the PKK, some others will appear in another form. The same holds true for ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria); it is a system that doesn’t abide by the Qur’an and it acts in line with the system of the idolaters. Eventually they will abide by the Mahdi (pbuh) and bend their knees before him.

There will be no murder and slaughter in the time of the Mahdi (pbuh). There will be no bloodshed. Radiance will come when Islam comes, love will come.

After the appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh) and the establishment of the Islamic Union, the impact of the good deeds one collects would drop from one million to three. That is because the rest will be very easy. All hardships will thus be removed. The antichrist (dajjal) will then be dead. The attacks of one’s lower-self would be removed as well, so everything will be fine.

Islam is all about love, compassion and mercy. However the system of the Mahdi would not come into existence without the system of the antichrist (dajjal). Cruelty will come first, then compassion will follow; cold-heartedness will come first, then compassion will follow; first there will be lack of love, then love will come. Almighty God creates all these for people in order for them to appreciate these blessings.
