Syria and Islamic prophecy

Many major end time events in Islamic Prophecy take place in Syria.

1. The anti-Christ will appear on the way between Syria and Iraq

“He will appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and will spread mischief right and left. O slaves of Allah! Remain adhered to the truth.'' (Sahib Muslim)

2. Jesus' second coming will take place in Syria

"In the meantime, while the Dajjal will be busy doing this and this, Allah will send down the Messiah son of Mary (Jesus عليه السلام). He (Jesus عليه السلام ) will descend in the eastern part of Damascus, near the white minaret (tower), dressed in the two yellow garments, with his hands resting on the arms of two angels. When he will bend down his head, water drops will appear trickling down, and when he will raise it, it will appear as though pearl--like drops are rolling down. Any disbeliever whom the air of his breath reaches, and it will reach up to the last limit of his sight, will fall dead. Then, the son of Mary will go in pursuit of the Dajjal, and will overtake him at the gate of Lud , and will kill him." (Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah).

3. The Muslims defeat an invading army of "Romans" in a place called Dabiq, that is in Syria.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). (Sahih Muslim)

4. An army from Syria is "swallowed" by the ground, which is considered a major sign of the end.
etc

An army will then be sent against him from Syria but will be swallowed up in the desert between Mecca and Medina. " (Abu Dawud)

I am convinced that the present situation in Syria are signs pointing to the appearance of the anti-Christ. It doesn't look like the Syria situation will be resolved any time soon.

Can you provide sources and educate us?

I am well aware that there are many elements within Islam that want to bring on the appearance of the Mahdi.

Is this what ISIS is up to in Syria? Trying to make the prophesies you mention come to fruition?

Jesus has a second coming in an Islamic prophecy?

Yes, see below

In Islam, Jesus (or Isa; Arabic: عيسى‎‎ ʿĪsā) is considered to be a Messenger of God and the Masih (messiah) who was sent to guide the Israelites (banī isrā'īl) with a new scripture, the Injīl.[50] The belief in Jesus (and all other messengers of God) is required in Islam, and a requirement of being a Muslim. However, Muslims do not recognize Jesus as the Son of God but merely as a prophet. In the Quran, the second coming of Jesus is heralded in Az-Zukhruf (the Quran's 43rd surah or chapter) as a sign of the day of judgement.

Jesus is only considered a prophet though, not the Christ. Muslims do not believe it was Jesus who was crucified and that the resurrection as a result is a big lie.

I updated the OP with the quotes

en.wikipedia.org...

Dabiq (Arabic: دابق‎‎ /ˈdaːbiq/) is a town in northern Syria, about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of Aleppo and around 10 km (6.2 mi) south of Syria's border with Turkey. It is administratively part of the Akhtarin nahiyah (subdistrict) of the A'zaz District of Aleppo Governorate. Nearby localities include Mare' to the southwest, Sawran to the northwest, and Akhtarin town to the southeast. In the 2004 census, Dabiq had a population of 3,364.[1] The town was the site of the battle of Marj Dabiq in 1516, in which the Ottoman Empire decisively defeated the Mamluk Sultanate. In Islamic eschatology, it is believed that Dabiq is one of two possible locations (the other is Amaq) for an epic battle between invading Christians and the defending Muslims which will result in a Muslim victory and mark the beginning of the end of times. The Islamic State believes Dabiq is where an epic and decisive battle will take place with Christian forces of the West, and have named their online magazine after the village.

In Islamic eschatology as found in the Hadith, the area of Dabiq is mentioned as a place of some of the events of the Muslim Malahim (which would equate to the Christian apocalypse, or Armageddon).[6][7] Abu Hurayrah, companion to Muhammad, reported in his Hadith that Muhammad said: The Last Hour would not come until the Romans land at al-A’maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them).[8] Scholars and hadith commentators suggest that the word Romans refers to Christians.[9] The hadith further relates the subsequent Muslim victory, followed by the peaceful takeover of Constantinople with invocations of takbir and tasbih, and finally the defeat of the Anti-Christ following the return and descent of Jesus Christ.[10][11]

While researching this subject I got this from a thread with 34 flags on ATS!

"If you see the black flags *, then remain on the ground and do not move a hand or a leg.
A group of feeble folk to whom no concern is given will then appear - their hearts are like iron [1].
They are the owners of the state [2].
They fulfill neither a contract nor a covenant [3].
They call to the truth, but they are not its people [4].
Their names are a kuniya and their lineage (surnames) are a town [5].
Their hair is unwinding, like the hair of a women [6].
(Do this) until they differ in it between themselves, then Allah will give the right to whomever HE desires."

- ISIS uses a black flag which fits in perfectly with the prophecy.

1. - The hadith says they are a feeble folk to whom no concern is given, i.e. they are relative newcomers to the fight in Syria, which then surprisingly achieve much success in a lightning flash - but their hearts are from iron. The arabic used here means they are CRUEL and MERCILESS. The countless slaughterings from ISIS surely fit in here quite well.

2. - The most amazing part of the prophecy is this here: The hadith says LITERALLY (in arabic) that these people are the owners of DAWLA (state) - a word which wasn't even used in the time of Muhammad because there was no concept of "states" in that time - the word DAWLA from the prophecy was basically used verbatim as said by Muhammad although hadith collectors for generations most probably had no idea whatsoever what it meant! But, how does ISIS call itself today? "DAWLA al Islamiya" (the Islamic State). This fact is simply amazing!

3. - ISIS had quite a few contracts with other rebel groups and other al-qaida groups and they BROKE all their covenants! This is a known fact.

4. - ISIS calls to "Sharia" (God's Law) but they themselves do not uphold it! The Sharia for example orders the muslims to treat their prisoners well, to feed them with what they feed themselves and then to FREE THEM and escort them to wherever they would wish to go! The Sharia PROHIBITS the torture or killing of prisoners. Yet, what does ISIS do?

5. - Another amazing part of the Prophecy: The hadith says these ISIS guys will have a Kunya as their name (a kunya is a pseudonym), like Abu-so and so - and what are the names of all the ISIS Leaders? "Abu-Bakr", "Abu-Musa", etc. But wait, the hadith even says that they will use "towns" as their last names! Again, what are the "last names" of the ISIS dudes? "Al-Baghdadi", "Al-Anbari", etc. Simply amazing!

6. - Have you seen pictures of the overwhelming majority of ISIS dudes? Almost all of them have long hair!

It's a known thing that ISIS are quite deliberate in a number of things concerning Islamic prophesy.

The parallels between ISIS and the Nazi Third Reich are astonishing. Hitler was also very deliberate about trying to trigger prophesy in order to fulfil what he saw as destiny.

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Isaiah 17:1

If this is it for Damascus, it's been a long time coming.

Not really. Thee Messiah comes. Depending on who you ask.

a reply to: firefromabove

Lol, who will Christ be backing when He comes? Is He gonna be like Bin Laden and take out the pesky Romans (Christians) and establish the Muslim Caliphate? Or is He going to be the defender of Israel and the U.S and take Trump and Netty out for a meal?

I know what I would do. I would beat them all over the head with that Iron Rod and say they are all losers for putting their stupid politics before the blood of their women and children. Little beasts, all of them! They need a good hard spanking.

How come humans are like this? We are total insane behaving like this. We are just blowing each other up like naughty little boys.

"Dr Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
And all his sexless patients
Are trying to blow it up
His nurse, some local loser
In charge of the cyanide hole,
She also keeps the cards that read
Have mercy on his soul!"
(Bob Dylan - Desolation Row)

Sigh.

Where to start?

The first quote you mention - who or what is Sahib Muslim? Sahib is a Sikh word. Did you misspell Sahih? If so, I am afraid the idea of Syria and Iraq didn't exist at the time of the prophet so where your quote comes from I have no idea.

The second quote - are you suggesting that the Dajjal is on Earth and doing certain things? If so, who is it? And you expect Jesus to fly down from somewhere and kill people with his breath?

The third quote - the Romans are ancient history, literally. That's the problem with prophecies. Knowledge of the distant future always seems to stop short of ever getting any language or words correct, almost as if they are couched in the fog of the unknowing present and unable to predict the future. I imagine the Byzantines can take credit for making the Arabians fear them at the point that this was written, though, as its clear they are the prospective enemy.

The fourth quote - Do you believe Assad is going to send his army to attack Yemen just for a bit of a distraction? That's the only possible way I can see them being swallowed up down on the west coast of the Arabian peninsula. I would have thought he's got enough on his plate just fighting off the insurgents etc. in his own region.

I think we're safe from the antichrist for the time being. Unfortunately, not from gullible fools who are taken in by religion.

I think the Bible makes clear that there will be no partiality given. "ALL nations shall be judged," for none do the will of God.

Well this prophecy will never occur. Rome isn't a nation anymore. It's merely just a city.

I see a flaw. Jesus never lied. and he would never ever lied to his apostles and followers. So for muslims to belieive he played a trick is proof enough their prophet was told wrongly by "an angel of light" AKA lucifer alot of half truths.

WHy was this allowwed? because its part of the overall plan for Jesus to return one day.

If yesterday's strikes have helped the rebel rabble, Russian cruise missiles are already on the launch rails to hit them in their positions, at this precise moment1

P.S. Turkey hasn't been baited into this fight yet ... US might need to repeat!

Uh...ok. Exactly what is "the will of God", in your personal opinion?

In all actuality, I believe the so called god of "Isaac, Abraham, and Jacob...needs a little judgment on his own...from mankind.
The atrocities he commanded, on top of the ones he performed, make him quite suspect of being good.
What do I know though, eh?

Annnnd...how do you know if "Isis" isn't bascially a "frontman" or proxy that was instigated and weaponized by the US or others?

God's honest truth here...(not every muslim wants to chop off the heads of those who won't bow to Allah, nor do most Muslims even give a care about what the war is all about (just like most Americans)...until it lands in their backyard (you know..bombs and stuff). Esp., if they have U.S.A. stamped on them.

Nope. Jesus never lied..and you are right..He would never, ever lie to his apostles and followers.
Let me see....who else saw a blinding light/heard a voice?? (that all depends on which version Paul told you believe to be the legitimate one).
Point is, Paul had a "blinding light experience" on the road to Damascus. I mean, "literally" blinding, according to Paul.
Hmmmm....sounds like a "coinkydink" there.
Muhammad apparently, (according to "Christians)..say Muhammad was "deeeeceeived", by said, "angel of light".
HOWEVER, PAUL was NOT deceived by an angel of light (or voice)...depending on which of the three versions Paul told you believe.

Oh, and once again...Jesus never lied. That's WHY He said, "beware of those who come in "my Name", but are wolves in sheep's clothing. Oh, and Jesus also warned us (and His disciples about the "leaven of the Pharisee's).
Leaven is not good in the bible...cause it's usually related to deception and sin, lol.
Oh gosh...then how come Paul is "legit" and Muhammad isn't??
(by the way...I'm not Muslim, and I know Paul was a "false apostle", who told just as may "half truths as Muhammad.
The devil may or may not have something to do with that. All I know is, Jesus is the real deal, and Paul ain't.
