There is a regular increase in the number of earthquakes since 1980’s. Our Prophet (pbuh) foretold that the increase in earthquakes is a portent of the appearance of the Mahdi.

The increase in the number of the earthquakes is one of the portents of Mahdi’s appearance.

The authenticity of the hadiths about the Mahdi is confirmed when the happenings informed in the hadiths become reality. All the portents described in the hadiths about the Mahdi have occurred exactly the same way as informed in the hadiths.

All scientific data shows that there has been a rapid increase in the number of earthquakes since 1980. This is one of the portents of Mahdi.

One of the characteristics of the movement of the Mahdi is that the majority of people would resist it in the beginning. Our Prophet (pbuh) knew that people would adopt a negative attitude about the Mahdi. That is why he explained the movement of the Mahdi very comprehensively. Those against the system of the Mahdi should be able to say, “None of the signs pertaining to the Mahdi have been realized”. But they can’t because they have all been realized.

Momentous incidents will occur before the advent of the Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah. Everyone should remain resolute; the end will be all good.

Some people are panicking because they saw the signs of the Mahdi’s coming and understood that it is a fact. But they can never stop the Mahdi movement.

The hadiths of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) states that the Mahdi will definitely appear even if there is one day left for the Last Day to break. The fact that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul has been stated in the Jewish resources as well.

The fact that so many people shout out in unison in the media that ‘the Mahdi won’t come’ is one of the signs of his coming. Those who deny the Mahdi’s coming will be embarrassed when they see the Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh).

Those opposing the Mahdi movement can never deny that the signs in the hadiths came true. All of them came true.

In the entire Kutub al-Sittah, in all the authentic hadith collections, in books that Turkish Religious Affairs Dept publish, the Mahdi is a fact and all these signs have come true.

Our Prophet foretold the signs of Mahdi’s coming and they are coming true one after another. For the first time in 1,400 years all the signs are coming to pass in this same time period.

Our Prophet has foretold the sequence of events that are signs for the Mahdi’s coming. And these have all come true. This is a great miracle yet most people don’t understand.

Our Prophet (pbuh) related more than 600 portents related to the appearance of the Mahdi. All of these portents have appeared since 1400 Hijri.

Some claim there is a lot of time until the Mahdi's appearance, but they do not ever mention hadiths of the Prophet (pbuh) on lifespan of the world. Hadiths by Al-Suyuti state that the lifespan of the world is 7,000 years, and 5,600 of that has already passed. Thus, the Mahdi has already come this century. Those who deny the coming of the Mahdi should also deny that solar and lunar eclipses took place in 15-day intervals which is foretold in the hadith. They can't deny it as this event has already occurred. In a similar way they should also deny the war in Syria, the bloodshed in the Ka'aba [in 1979], the invasion of Iraq or the appearance of the two-horned comet all of which have taken place and they can't do so. Hundreds of signs have already taken place in the last 35 years as portents of the Mahdi's arrival. Those who oppose the coming of the Mahdi hide away these truths. Nobody could ever stop the movement of the Mahdi. The way of the Mahdi is a truth as a part of destiny.

It's the first time in the last 1,400 years that people claim "The Mahdi will not come." This is another sign for the Mahdi's appearance.

The symposium that was held to say that there is no Mahdi is in fact a sign of appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). The Mahdi is heralded in all books of the Qutub al-Sittah. All Ahl al-Sunnah scholars agree on the fact that the Mahdi will come. In Shia belief it is a fundamental tenet of faith. How could people’s beliefs be erased? Will they burn all books dating back 1,000 years? Those who are against the way of the Mahdi are struggling in vain. Those who claim that the Mahdi won’t come are willingly or not serving the movement of the Mahdi. The movement of the Mahdi grows stronger.

Hadiths about the movement of the Mahdi are coming true in a breathtakingly precise way. Hundreds of hadiths have come true so far.

All of the portents of the Mahdi heralded by our Prophet (pbuh) have appeared within the last 35 years. Solid evidence shows that the existence of the Mahdi is true.

For the first time in a thousand years, the voices saying ‘The Mahdi will not come’ have been raised this much. This's a sign of the Mahdi’s emergence.

The conferences and panel discussions organized to say ‘The Mahdi will not come’ are also one of the portents of the emergence of the Mahdi (pbuh)

Every event has a turn in destiny. We will see the Mahdi himself just like we have seen the hundreds of signs of his appearance inshaAllah.

Hundreds of incidents like the appearance of a double-tailed comet and the eclipse of the sun and the moon during Ramadan show the emergence of the Mahdi to people.

Our prophet foretold all the details about the time of the Mahdi so that they cannot come up with excuses when these portents are realized. In their own minds, they try to postpone the system of the Mahdi and come up with excuses to do so. But the system they are trying to prevent is advancing step by step.

Some scholars are misleading our people by saying, "The Mahdi did not come." Those scholars should talk about the portents mentioned in the hadiths along with the incidents that took place and leave the conclusion to our people.
