THE SUFYAN WILL APPEAR FIRST, AND HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL MAKE GOOD THE HARM HE DOES. The sufyan will unwillingly prepare the way for Hazrat Mahdi (as). There could be no foundation for Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) struggle without the sufyan. The sufyan will serve with negative force, and Hazrat Mahdi (as) with positive. - Harun Yahya
