Summary of "THE END OF I$RAEL IS NEAR! (IRAN VS I$RAEL) | Belal Assaad"
Summary
The video "THE END OF I$RAEL IS NEAR! (IRAN VS I$RAEL)" by Belal Assaad discusses the current situation in Palestine and Israel through an Islamic eschatological lens, addressing misconceptions and providing hope grounded in religious texts.
Key points covered include:
- Misconceptions about the Mahdi and Current Events: The presenter clarifies that there is no direct connection in the Quran or authentic hadiths between the current state of Israel/Palestine and the coming of the Mahdi (the guided one). Many claims circulating on social media linking the Mahdi’s appearance to present-day events are not supported by Islamic scripture.
- Islamic Eschatology and the Mahdi: According to authentic hadiths, the Mahdi will appear at a time when Israel has already fallen. The Mahdi will be a righteous leader who follows the Sharia and will be respected by other leaders, including Jesus (Isa). Jesus will descend in Damascus, confront the Dajjal (the false messiah or Antichrist), and kill him, leading to a period of justice and truth. The Dajjal will be accompanied by 70,000 Jews from the region of Esfahan (in modern-day Iran), distinct from Zionist Israelis.
- Signs and Timeline: The Mahdi is prophesied to emerge from the East (around Iraq/Medina), fleeing from armies until he finds refuge in Mecca, where scholars will recognize him. The Mahdi’s arrival is linked to a series of events involving political strife and conflict but is not tied to the immediate fall of Israel.
- Current Political and Social Context: The presenter asserts that Israel’s current trajectory is unsustainable and predicts its eventual fall, independent of religious prophecy. Social media, despite its harms, has become a tool for raising awareness and conducting a “PR jihad” to expose injustices and support Palestinians.
- Call for Muslim Action and Faith:
The speaker urges Muslims to focus on what is within their power:
- Harboring hatred for injustice in their hearts.
- Making sincere dua (prayers), which reinforces faith and hope.
- Giving charity to support affected communities.
- Engaging in awareness campaigns responsibly.
- Patience and Divine Wisdom: The delay in divine intervention is attributed to Allah’s wisdom, possibly because humanity is not yet ready or would misuse immediate victory. The suffering and oppression are part of a divine plan, and believers are encouraged to remain steadfast.
- Inspiration from Palestinian Youth and History: The courage and resilience of Palestinian children are highlighted as symbols of hope and strength. Historical parallels are drawn with past Muslim hardships, such as the Mongol invasions, showing that revival and victory can come after great trials.
- Quranic Assurance and Prayer: The talk concludes with Quranic verses reminding believers that Allah is aware of oppressors’ actions and that martyrs are alive and rewarded. The presenter makes heartfelt dua for the victory, protection, mercy, and steadfastness of Muslims worldwide, especially those suffering in Palestine.
