Bābil was a major city of ancient
Mesopotamia in the fertile plain between the
Tigris and
Euphrates
rivers.Babylon was originally a small
Semitic Akkadian city dating from the period of the
Akkadian Empire c. 2300 BC. Babylon eclipsed
Nippur as the "holy city" of Mesopotamia around the time Amorite king
Hammurabi created the first short lived
Babylonian Empire in the 18th century BC. Babylon grew and South Mesopotamia came to be known as
Babylonia.
Halfway between the cities of Ur and Sippar - that is, between Sumer and northern Babylon, but it also was the seat of Enlil, the chief god of the Sumerian pantheon, the "Lord Wind," ruler of the cosmos and one of the triad of gods including Anu (Sumerian: An) and Ea (Sumerian: Enki). The city also played a major role in politics.
Even after 1800 BC., when the Babylonians made Marduk the most important god in southern Mesopotamia, Enlil was still worshiped and had his sanctuary. Nippur still remained a holy and prestigious city
, with more than a hundred temples, regardless of which dynasty ruled Mesopotamia.
About .2300 BC, Sargon's Akkadian empire controls the city and around the year 2230 BC Sargon's grandson - Naram-Sin - under the influence of the oracle of the temple attacked Enlil in Nippur. As a result, there was a meeting of the eight most important gods, who withdrew their support for the king; the city’s inhabitants began to suffer from hunger.
Iranians are working on MIRV but there is lot of work have to be done with multiple warheads and guidance system. I dont think that Iranian military will deploy any missile inside Pakistan which will be directed against Republic of India and Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
Narrated ‘Abd Allah (b. Mas’ud):
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: “When
the black flags come from Khurasan, go to them, for among them is the
khalifah of Allah, the Mahdi.”
Abu Nasr al-Khaffaf – Khalid – Abu Qilabah – Thawban:
“When you see
the black flags coming out from the direction of Khurasan, then go to them even if you have to crawl on snow, for verily among them is the
khalifah of Allah, the Mahdi.”
Ali bin AbuTalib narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
قال صلى الله عليه وسلم ( يخرج رجل من وراء النهر يقال له الحارث بن حراث , على مقدمته رجل يقال له منصور , يوطيء او يمكن لال محمد كما مكنت قريش لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وجب على كل مؤمن نصره او قال اجابته
“A man called Al-Harith bin Harrath (Farmer son of a farmer, this is his description) will come forth from Ma Wara an-Nahr (“the place behind the river”. Transoxiana, meaning the region, between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers, which includes Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, bordering Afghanistan ). His army (the black banners) will be led by a man called Mansur (His General) who will make matters ready and enabled (Shape the Middle East) for Muhammad’s family as Quraish enabled matters for the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم. Every believer must help him, or he (the Prophet) said: ‘respond to him (to his calls)’.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan AnNisa-ee, and Al-Buhaiqi)
Abdullah bin Al-Harith bin Jiz Al-Zubaidi said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “People from the East will come to assist the Mahdi in laying the foundation for his dominion (before He emerges).” (Ibn Maja, Tabarani)
Abu Hurairah said that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “(Armies carrying) black flags will come from Khorasan. No power will be able to stop them and they will finally reach إيلياء Eelya (Jerusalem) where they will erect their flags” (they will conquer Israel, America is no longer around to defend them). (Tirmizi)
Amr Bin Marra Al-Jamli said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ” ‘Surely, Black Flags will appear from the Khorasan until a group (of them) will tie their horse leashes to the Olive Trees between Beit-Lahia (in Gaza district, Palestine) and Harasta (near Damascus, Syria).’ We asked: ‘Are there any Olive trees between these places?’ He said, ‘If there isn’t any, then, soon (Olive trees) will grow so that those people (of Khorasan) will come and tie their horses there’.” (Nuaim Ibn Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan p. 215)
Buraida said that Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “After me, there will be many expeditions (armies). You should be in the expeditions (armies) of Khorasan.” ( Jalal-uddine AsSuyuti’s Al-Urf Al-Wardi fi Akhbar Al-Mahdi, a part of Al-Hawi li Al-Fatawa)
Muhammad bin Al-Hanafia, said: ” A black banner (Army battalion) of Bani Al-Abbas ( family of Prophet Mohammad’s صلى الله عليه وسلم uncle, Al-Abbas) will come out (this was the Abbasid Khalifah in the past). Then, another black banner (Army battalion) will come from Khorasan (in the Future). Their turbans are black and their clothes are white. At their front end will be a man named Shuayb bin Salih (this is the name of al-Harith Ibn Harrath), from Tamim (tribe). They will defeat the supporters of the Sufyani (and proceed further) until he (Shuayb bin Salih) arrives in Jerusalem (where) he will lay the foundation for the Mahdi’s (future) dominion. He will be supplied with three hundred (men) from AshSham (Syria). From the time, he comes out (from Khorasan) until he hands over the matter (rule) to the Mahdi, there will be seventy-two months (six years).” (Nuaim Ibn Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)
“If the black banners split into 3 groups: a group calling for the progeny of Fatima (Ahl al Bayt to rule the Muslims), a group calling for the progeny of the Abbas (tribe of the prophet), and a group calling for (the kingship to be) for themselves…” (Nuaim bin Hammad’s book Kitab Al-Fitan)
Ali bin Abi Taleb (r.a.) said: “When the black banners differ among each other, a town/city of the towns/cities of Iram and the western side of its Mosque collapses (from the Earthquake). Then, in AshSham, three banners (armies) come out for each (warlord) of the As’Hab (reddish white man), Abqa’, and Sufyani. The Sufyani comes from AshSham and the Abqa’ from Egypt. The Sufyani will defeat them.” (Nuaim bin Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)
Abi Ja’far said: “A young man from Bani Hashem (Prophet Mohammad’s صلى الله عليه وسلم family clan) with a mark in the palm of his right hand comes out from Khorasan with black banners (this is Mansur their General). Between his hands (meaning assisting him) will be Shuayb bin Salih (their leader). He fights the followers of the (1st) Sufyani and defeats them.” (Nuaim bin Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)
Ali bin Abi Taleb (r.a.) said: “If (the 1st) Sufyani’s Cavalry marsh to Kufa (in Iraq), the people of Khorasan will be requested to come to aid. The people of Khorasan will come out seeking the Mahdi (wishing for him to appear, they know the prophecies and what will occur after they go to war). So, the Hashimi (Mansur, the General of the Army) with an army carrying black banners, at its front end is Shuayb bin Salih, He will meet the followers of the Sufyani at Istakhar Gate and a great battle will occur between them. The black banners will be victorious. Sufyani’s Cavalry will run away. At that time, people will wish for the Mahdi (to appear) and ask for him.” (Nuaim bin Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)
