EXPLANATIONS ON THE HADITHS CONCERNING SUFYANI

Related from Is’af al-Raghibin of Muhammad b.’Ali al-Sabbah, it says in Talismans, page 212; "Sufyan is a denier", in other words, he denies the existence of God. He believes in evolution, Darwinism or whatever it is he believes in. "He rejects God, the Qur'an and the prophets." He deems himself superior to God and the prophets; his mentality resembles that of the Rumi philosophy. He is akin to certain deviant Rumi followers. "He is against everything concerning Islam." In other words, he rejects  Islamic law. "He operates in a systematic and hypocritical manner. He seeks to weaken and eliminate the fundamental principles of faith that are the pillars of Islam. And he keeps constant watch on Hazrat Mahdi (as)", he monitors Hazrat Mahdi (as). "Sufyani's siege on Mahdi is ever-lasting." This is related from Is'afur-Ragibin as written in Talismans, page 212.

It is narrated in the hadiths that Sufyani will be a great scholar. His knowledge will lead him astray and many scholars will follow his suit. “The true knowledge is with God. Another interpretation of this," says Said Nursi, "is that unlike other rulers that reign by means of force, might, linage, courage or wealth, he will achieve his position through his sagacity," his wisdom, "and material knowledge," that is his cultural and political knowledge, "and entice many scholars through his intelligence." In other words, he will influence the minds of many scholars and Muslims. "He will grant them the authority of judgment and attract many teachers to his side." This is written in the Risale-i Nur.

"Sufyani will build an army out of men with scowling expressions and stone hearts, and they will inflict oppression on Muslims everywhere. And they will occupy many provinces. Rendering bloodshed lawful, they will turn against the family of  Muhammad (saas). They will deem betraying virtuous people licit." In other words, they will render it permissible and lawful. "They will inculcate treachery into virtuous people. They will say 'Betrayal is lawful'". (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman) This is a very old and acclaimed hadith book. Its author, Al-Muttaqi, is a highly regarded Sunni scholar.
