A Blessed Hadith and Prophecy of Muhammad Rasulallah (saw)….
On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, who said : One day I was behind the prophet and he said to me:“Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] :
Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you.
Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you.
If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah.
Know that if the Nations were to gather together to benefit you with anything,
it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you,
and that if they gather together to harm you with anything,
they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you.
The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.”
and also…“Be aware that if the whole of mankind gathered together in order to do something to help you,
they would only be able to do something for you which Allaah had already written for you.
Likewise, if the whole of mankind gathered together to harm you,
they would only be able to do something to harm you which Allaah had already written to happen to you”The Black Banners from Khurasaan…

“(Armies carrying) black flags will come from Khurasan (Afghanistan).
No power will be able to stop them and they will finally reach Jerusalem where they will erect their flags.” (Tirmidhi)The black banners will come from Khurasan.
Their turbans will be black and their clothes white.
At their front will be a man named Shuayb, the son of Salih, from Tamim.
They will defeat the companions of The Sufyaani until he comes to the House of Jerusalem where he will establish his power for the Mahdi,
and he will be supplied with three hundred (men) from Syria after his arrival and the matter will be settled for the Mahdi in seventy-two months (six years).”
