The time we are living in is the end times, in which all the excesses of past peoples are being experienced at once
Mahdi, antichrist, sufyan, kahtani are all figures of End Times and they can’t be recognized before hadiths about them come true.
Bediuzzaman stated that Sufyan will be a great scholar; that he will go astray with his knowledge and make a lot of scholars and teachers his followers.
By making use of the education system as well, Sufyan will make a lot of people his followers.
Dajjal (antichrist) will trick some people into obeying the Sufyan by proving them easy means of living.
It is Sufyan who wants to attack religious communities; dajjal (antichrist) has assigned him for the task.
Sufyan is one of the dajjals that dajjal (antichrist) will assign among Muslims.
