Messiah To Come In The 14th Century

References for the Coming of the Messiah from Saints and Scholars of Islam

 

The Muslim Ummah is waiting for the Imam Mahdi. In this thread, I will be sharing references of the early and modern-day scholars who testified to the coming of the Imam Mahdi around the thirteenth and fourteenth century Hijri. The references are from the following individuals who went through extreme hardship in finding these references:

  1. Maulana Dhost Muhammad Shahid Sahib
  2. H.M Tariq Sahib
  3. Maulvi Muhammad Azam Sahib
  4. Ahmad Butt Sahib
  5. Qazi Nazir Sahib

May Allah Bless them all

The non-Ahmadi Muslim scholars are so frustrated that they are now telling Muslims to stop waiting for the Imam Mahdi:

The Prophet Muhammad (sa) prophesied that the signs will come after the 200 years. The 200 years refer to the 200 years after the 1000 years:
