Saya ada mendengar Imam Mahdi sudah lahir ke dunia tahun lepas. Tanda beliau telah lahir ke dunia ialah berlakunya dua kali gerhana dalam bulan Ramadhan. Pada tahun 2004 telah berlaku kejadian sedemikian. Apa pandangan Tan Sri?
Do two eclipses in the month of Ramadan indicate that Imam Mahdi has been born?

Summary
No text states when the Day of Judgement will come, as only Allah knows it. The coming of Imam Mahdi is mentioned in hadith, though there is disagreement over who the Imam refers to. The fatwa cites a mutawatir report in Fathul Bari identifying the Imam as al-Mahdi, behind whom Prophet Isa prays. Eclipses are signs of Allah's greatness for general reflection and have no connection with the birth or coming of Imam Mahdi as claimed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak ada satu nas pun yang menyebut bila akan tiba hari Kiamat, hanya Allah yang mengetahuinya.
