First Sufyani

First Mahdi Will Confront First Sufyani

Ibni Munavi said that, “Danyal (Daniel) (as) reported in his book that, “There are 3 Sufyaanis and 3 Mahdis.When the first Sufyaani appears and his name and fame become widespread, the first Mahdi will confront him,the second Mahdi will confront the second Sufyaani and the third Mahdi will confront the third Sufyaani andAllah, the Exalted, will send him (the third Mahdi) to save the ones who have suffered mischief, and the believers. The Sunnah will be revived through him and oppression, injustice and cruelty will come to an end through him. The people will be highly prized and become victorious over their opponents at his time. A beautiful life will be lived, and the earth and the heavens will increase their blessing.. (*)
