There’s always a battle between the soul and the nafs (desires)
A battle with no end in sight
A fierce and terrifying battle
In the history of internal battles, nafs is always the winner
Nafs get the privilege to raise the flag: a sign of victory
The victory for the nafs is the main cause of calamity in this universe
Cruelty, discrimination, wars and killings are all caused by the victory
of the nafs
Bloodshed occurs everyday
Human death are all over the surface of the earth
Not to mention the injuries and disabilities and continuous sufferings
Oh! this internal battle is terrifying
Its dangers and destructions involving the physical aspects of our lives
Human beings at a loss, with no more ideas, wondering what to do next
So that in this battle, the victory is for the heart and soul, and not more the nafs
No brilliant professor is capable of stopping the victory of the nafs
The philosophers are disheartened, a lot have even given up
Towards the advancement, victory after victory are achieved by the nafs
All mankind is at a loss, feeling hopeless and disappointed
They are weary of living this way!
We are hopeful for God the AlMighty, to appoint the world a spiritual leader
Who is able to prevent the victory for the nafs
and able to help provide the victory for the soul
So that the world will be in peace, prosperity, tranquility and harmony

Heliconia’s Weblog @ Malaysia lahir pada 20 Disember 2006, untuk mengisi satu ‘niche’ dunia internet yang tersendiri. Ia lahir atas inisiatif dan usaha peribadi, berupa himpunan pendapat bebas yang dikutip, juga diselang-selikan dengan tulisan sendiri. Heliconia memasuki dunia blogsfera ini untuk memberitahu bangsanya dan dunia seluruhnya, apa yang diyakininya dan diimpikannya, setelah melihat suatu ketidakadilan dan ’stereo-typing’ yang wujud sekian lama dalam medan politik dan media negaranya.

DALIL SISTEM KHILAFAH AKAN MUNCUL SEBELUM KIAMAT;
1. Dalil Al Quran
Dan Allah telah menjanjikan kepada orang2 beriman di antara kamu dan yg mengerjakan amal soleh, bahawa mereka sesungguhnya akan dijadikan khalifah yg berkuasa di muka bumi ini
sebagaimana telah dijadikan khalifah orang2 sebelum mereka, dan sungguh Dia akan meneguhkan bagi mereka agama yg telah diredhaiNya untuk mereka, dan dia benar2 akan menukar [keadaan] mereka, sesudah mereka berada dalam ketakutan menjadi aman sentiasa’
An Nur: 55
2. Dalil Al Hadis
Dari Nukman bin Basyir, katanya…
‘Suatu ketika kami sedang duduk2 di Masjid Nabawi dan Basyir itu seorang yg tidak banyak bercakap.
Datanglah Abu Saklabah lalu berkata
” Wahai Basyir bin Saad, adakah kamu hafaz hadis Rasulullah tentang para pemerintah?’
Huzaifah RA lalu segera menjawab.
” Aku hafaz akan khutbah Rasulullah SAW itu.”
Maka duduklah Abu Saklabah Al Khusyna untuk mendengar hadis berkenaan.
Maka kata Huzaifah RA, Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda.
“Telah berlaku Zaman Kenabian ke atas kamu, maka berlakulah Zaman Kenabian sebagaimana yang Allah kehendaki. Kemudian Allah mengangkat zaman itu seperti
yg Dia kehendaki.”
Kemudian belakulah zaman Kekhalifahan (Khulafaur Rasyidin) yang berjalan sepertimana Zaman Kenabian. Maka berlakulah zaman itu sebagaimana yang Allah kehendaki. Kemudian Allah mengangkatnya.
Lalu berlakulah zaman pemerintahan yang mengigit (Zaman Fitnah -keamiran/beraja /zaman kesultanan ) Berlakulah zaman itu seperti yang Allah kehendaki. Kemudian Allah mengangkatnya pula.
Kemudian berlakulah zaman penindasan dan zaman penzaliman(Zaman pemerintahan diktator dan demokrasi) dan berlakulah zaman itu seperti mana yang Allah kehendaki.
Kemudian berlakulah pula zaman kekhalifahan (Imam Mahdi dan Nabi Isa as ) yang berjalan di atas cara hidup Zaman Kenabian.”
Kemudian Rasulullah SAW pun diam….
~Hadis ini diriwayatkan oleh Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal di dalam
kitabnya Musnad Al Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, Juzuk 4, halaman 273.
Juga terdapat dalam kitab As-Silsilatus Sahihah, Jilid 1,
hadis nombor 5.]

AL MAHDI, JESUS and MOSHAIKH [the ANTICHRIST].
http://www.allah.com/download/ALMAHDI.doc
Narrated by the late Grand Muhaddith of Morocco, Shaykh Abdullah ben Sadek Al Ghumari , Ph.D,
(1914 - 1993) may Allah be pleased with him
1. The Youth of Tamimi
The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him,
was among a group of migrants and supporters.
Ali, the son of Abi Talib was on his left side and Abbas on his right side
when Abbas and a man from the supporters started to debate
with one another.
The supporter spoke harshly to Abbas,
then the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,
took the hand of Abbas and the hand of Ali and said:
“From the loins of this (indicating to Abbas)
will come a youth who will fill the earth with transgression and injustice
and from the loins of this (indicating to Ali)
a man who will fill the earth with fairness and justice.
If you see this pay attention to the Tamimi youth who will come
from the direction of the east — he is the owner of the
Banner of Al Mahdi.”
Al Hasan Al Basri said:
“A man of medium stature will come from Ar-Ray (a far-eastern town).
He will be dark and from the children of Tamim -
a Wasaj, named Shuayb son of Salih with four thousand men.
Their clothes will be white and Banners black,
and at his front is Al Mahdi.
He meets no one that he does not defeat and scatter”.
Ka’b, the son of Alkamah said:
“In front of the Banner of Al Mahdi will come a youth
whose beard is yellowish and thin.
If he fights the mountains, he will destroy them
until he reaches Alya’.”
2. Black Banners from the EAST asking for the truth
Ibn Masood reported: “We went to the Messenger of Allah,
praise and peace be upon him,
and he came out with good news -
and happiness was easily recognizable upon his face.
When we asked him about a matter
he would tell us about it,
and we were never silent about anything until he spoke of it,
until a party from the Bani Hashim passed by
amongst whom were Al Hasan and Al Hussain, peace be upon them.
When he saw them he hugged them with tears in his eyes,so we asked:
‘O Messenger of Allah’
we see something has changed your face which distresses us
‘Thereupon he replied:
‘We are a Family of a House
for whom Allah has chosen the Hereafter rather than the present.
After me my family will be refugees,
driven out of countries until the Black Banners are raised in the east.
They will ask for the truth
but they will not be given it,
so they will ask again for it,
and they will not be given it ,
so they will fight and be given victory.
Those of you or your descendants who live during that time
go to the Imam of the Family of my house
even if you have to crawl over ice to him.
Indeed, they are banners of guidance.
They will deliver it to a man from the Family of my House
his name is the same as my name,
and the name of his father is the same as my father,
and he will fill the ground with fairness and justice.
3. Black Banners from the East
“The Black Banners will come from the East for
the children of Al Abbas.
Then there will remain whatsoever Allah wishes.
Then, small Black Banners will come
to fight a man from the children of Abu Sufyan from the East.
They will give their allegiance to Al Mahdi.
“Allah will send a Black Banner from the East,
and Allah will give victory to whosoever supports it.
Whosoever does not support it, Allah will forsake them!
4. Hearts like Iron
“The Black Banners will come to you from the East,
their hearts are like iron.Whosoever hears about them
let them go crawling — even over ice!”
5. The Government of Al Mahdi:
“People will come from the east
and will establish the government for Al Mahdi.”
6. Al Mahdi : Resemble an Arab or an Israel
“Al Mahdi is a man from my children.
His face is like a glittering star,
his skin is the color of an Arab,
and his body is like that of Israel.
He will fill the earth with justice
just as it will have been filled by injustice,
and the dwellers of Heaven and Earth
will be pleased with his Caliphate.”
“If only one day remains in the world,
Allah will send a man with a name like mine.
His manners will be likened to my manners.”
“Al Mahdi is a man from my children
his color is that of the Arab,
and his body is like that of Israel.
On his right cheek there is a mole
that glitters like a star.”
7. Al Mahdi with his banner
Al Mahdi will come upon his Banner and the herald will proclaim:
‘This is Al Mahdi, the Caliph of Allah so follow him!”
8. A group keep fighting for the truth
A group from my nation will keep fighting for the truth
until Jesus, the son of Mary descends at dawn in the
Mosque of Jerusalem.
He will approach Al Mahdi who will say:
‘O Prophet of Allah, come, lead us in prayer.’
But he will decline saying:
‘This nation has princes over each other’
~God will bring out from concealment al-Mahdi from my family and just before the day of Judgment; even if only one day were to remain in the life of the world, and he will spread on this earth justice and equity and will eradicate tyranny and oppression.
~Terjemahnya : Allah akan mengeluarkan dari persembunyiannya, Al Mahdi (iaitu) dari kalangan kaum keluargaku sejurus sebelum hari kiamat walaupun kiamat itu tinggal sehari sahaja lagi. Dia akan menyebarkan keadilan dan kesaksamaan di atas muka bumi ini dan menghapuskan kezaliman dan penindasan.[ A Hadith in Musnad Ahmad ibnu Hanbal, Vol 1, p 99 ]
