Hagia Sophia

Firstly, the spirit of Hagia Sophia must be opened. For this the God-denying philosophy must be intellectually defeated; otherwise, Hagia Sophia can be opened, but it would remain empty.

Mahdi (pbuh) is the one who will lead the first prayers in the Hagia Sophia. He will do that with whom? With the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). Istanbul is one of those places Jesus (pbuh) will visit. The second one is Jerusalem and Mecca is the third.

Hagia Sophia will be opened but it will be in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). The opening of Hagia Sophia, Hazrat Mahdi's girding himself with our Prophet's (saas) sword and cardigan; they will all take place at the same time. Nothing of that sort will happen before that, insha'Allah.

Hazrat Khidr (pbuh) is waiting for centuries to perform prayers in Hagia Sophia with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh).
