CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION OF LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL

What are the Tribes of Israel?
Israel is actually the title of Prophet Yaqoob(Jacob)Alayhay Salam.Israel means the Traveller of the Night. Prophet Prophet Yaqoob(Jacob)Alayhay Salam is the son of Prophet Ishaaq (Isac)Alayhay Salam and grandson of Prophet Ibraheem(Abrahim)Alayhay Salam). Prophet Yaqoob(Jacob)Alayhay Salam had twelve son and of the off springs of his family are today known as the Bani Israel (The Children of Israel). The twelve tribes according to Bible are the following. Jacob's twelve sons (in order) 1. Reuben, 2. Simeon, 3. Levi, 4. Judah, 5. Dan, 6. Naphtali, 7. Gad, 8. Asher, 9. Issachar, 10. Zebulun, 11. Joseph 12. Benjamin. These are the ancestors of twelve tribes Israel. Today people see that in Israel only the sons of Judah are to be seen.The Jews are mainly the sons of Judah and thats why they are called Jews.(However a small minority of Tribe of Benjamin also exists as the Jews claim). The ten tribes of Israel disappeared from Biblical and all other historical accounts after the kingdom was destroyed in about 720 BC by ancient Assyria.The last thing known about them was that these Tribes of

Israel went towards the East

This book about the search of Lost Tribes of Israel among Muslims. I have used the following references to identify the Lost Tribes of

1. Islamic References of Quran & Authentic Ahadith. 2. Living References in the shape of exising Biblical Israeli Names 3. References from Muslim Scholars. 4. References from Non Muslim Scholars.
May Allah make this book easy to understand and also to gain useful knowledge. Ameen (Allahuma salay ala Muhammad)

CHAPTER 2 : Introduction of The Muslim Bani Israeli Tribes

Quran tells us about the two divsions among the Progeny of Prophet Isaaq (alayhay salam) 037:113

037:113( )

We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.-37-113
Again Quran tells the division of Muslims and Non Muslims amongst the Bani Israel at the time of Prophet Musa (Alayhay salam)

007:159 007:159 .
Of the people of Moses there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth.7:159) (
This clearly shows that family of Prophet Isaaq (alayhay salam) or the Family of His Son Prophet Israel is divided in two groups both in his life and afterwards (since Quran is for all times till the end of time and not only for the time of Prophet Isaaq(alayhay salam))

1-Mulim Bani Ishaq or Bani Israel (Bani Israel also means Bani Ishaq since Isaaq is father of Israel) 2-Non Muslim Bani Ishaq (i.e the Jews which make only 2 out of 12 tribes of Bani Isreal / Isaaq)

Who Among Muslims Belong to the Lost Tribes of Israel?

According to Britannica 1997 the following groups of people are said to be from the Lost Tribes of Israel. Peoples who at various times were said to be descendants of the lost tribes include the Nestorians, the Mormons, the Afghans, the Falashas of Ethiopia, the American Indians, and the Japanese. Now among the all above,the only Muslims told to be from Bani Israel are the Afghans(The Pathans) and also from the same area where the Army of Mahdi will rise .Since army of madhi will be from the Muslims from Bani Israel,hence the Pathans are the lucky ones to make the majority of that sacred Army insha Allah. Amongst Muslims only the Pathan or Pashtun or Pakhtun or Ethnic Afghan are known to be amongst the 10 lost tribes of Israel.

Who are Pathan or Pashtun ?

Pashtuns are an ethnic/religious group of people, living primarily in Afghanistan,Pakistan, who speak Pashto or Pakhto language and indigenous religion. The Pashtuns are the world's largest patriarchal tribal group in existence. The total population of the group is estimated at 52 million.(This population is from 1979 but since then no one knows what is the population as millions innocent Pashtun Muslims have been killed since the 1979 so called Soviet Invasion)

Pathans are the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan.Infact the word Afghan is synonymous to Pashtun as told in the following reference:

Until the term Afghan came to mean any native of Afghanistan, Pashtuns were called Afghans.1

Israeli origin of Pathans is not an oral tradition.

The theory that the Pashtun or "ethnic Afghan"s are descended from the ancient Israelitesmore precisely, from the perspective of Jewish history the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel has a longstanding basis as a tradition among the Pashtun themselves, was widely accepted by 19th century British scholars, and has been accepted by some reasonably recent and prominent individuals such as Itzhak Ben-Zvi, second President of Israel. 2 says in his books: Ref:http://www.pakhtun.com/israeliSource.htm .Ben-Zvi

The claim of Afghans to be the Bani Israel (Children of Israel) is not founded on oral tradition alone. It is supported by ancient monuments, old inscriptions, manuscripts, and historical works, many in the public domain, and many others in private collections.

Written references older than 1000 years

Apart from our own reference, the oldest written reference we find is HUDUD-AL-ALAM written in 982AD by an Arab Geographer which clearly tells that PATHANS are not from from BANI ISRAEL.

Encyclopedia Encarta http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761587080/Pashtuns.html 2 Second President of Israel.

1

The word Afghan ... first appears in history in the Hudud-al-Alam, a work by an Arab geographer who wrote in 982 A.D." Until the advent of the modern Afghan state in the 18th century, the word Afghan has been

synonymous with Pashtun.

Its a pity how the West change history inorder to hide the elemination of Pathans in Afghanistan.They even changed the meaning of the word Afghan which always meant the PATHANS or PASHTUNS. Now in moderen times some of the Western Historians tell us that the Pathans are from the ARYANS and deny the ancient claim of the Pashtuns that they belong to the Lost tribes of Israel.This doesnt make any sense that someone from outside deny the claim of a whole Nation.

Why some of the Western writers want to Hide the Truth?

This is told in the Quran.

002:146 ( ) 002:146
Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (Muhammad salallaho alayhay wa sallam ) as they recognize their sons. But verily, a party of them conceals the truth while they know it -2:146

CHAPTER 3 : Proof of The Muslim Bani Israeli from Quran & Hadith
Quran tells about the Division of Bani Israel in two groups.
Quran tells us about the two divsions among the Progeny of Prophet Isaaq (alayhay salam) 037:113

037:113 ( )

We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.-37-113
Again Quran tells the division of Muslims and Non Muslims amongst the Bani Israel at the time of Prophet Musa (Alayhay salam)
007:159

. 007:159
Of the people of Moses there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth.7:159) (
The same is told again in this verse and also it shows that Bani Israel is scattered all around the world

 861:700

( ) () ( ) 861:700
And We cut them up into communities on the earth; some of them righteous, and some of 861-7.them otherwise; and We proved them wifh good and evil that haply they may return
We again see the same division between Muslims and Non Muslim Bani Israel )at the time of Prophet Eisa (Alayhay salam

. 410:160 ! () ( ) .410:160
,O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones 41-16-.that prevailed

Who are the Muslim Bani Israel ?

We shall make this discussion in two part.i.e

1. Discussion Part-1. Proving that Bani Israel will join Imam Mahdi & Prophet Eisa(alayhay salam). 2. Discussion Part-2.Signs of the Bani Israelis who will join Imam Mahdis Army

1-DISCUSSION PART
Proving that Bani Israel will join Imam Mahdi (or Bani Israel) fight the Mainly the Bani Isaac .)Armageddon with the Romans(The West
The Armegeddon with the Christians will only and only be fought by the Bani Isaaq Muslims and not the Arab Muslims as it is clear from the following three Ahadith


Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from a city (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army). which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eye, would be killed ani the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Dajjal has taken your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).3
Vimp Note: The word Madina here means A CITY and not particularly Madina city because in Arabic the word for city is Madina
The above hadith tells us the biggest fight with the Christians or the Armageddon. We see these points in this hadith 1. 2. 1/3rd of Muslims will be left behind after this Armageddon These 1/3rd Muslims will conquer Constantinople.

Saheeh Muslim, Kitaab al-Fitan,Hadith 2897 .

Now Which Muslims are left to conquer Constantinople after the Armageddon(with the ??)West
The folowing Hadith will clear this question as it clearly tells that these .Muslims are from the BANI ISHAQ only

-- - ! ( ( ()

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) saying: You have heard about a city the one side of which is in the land and the other is in the sea (Constantinople). They said: Allall's Messenger, yes. Therer upon he said: The Last Hour would not come unlesss seventy thousand[1] persons from Bani lshaq would attack it. When they would land there, they will neither fight with weapons nor would shower arrows but would only say:" There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," that one side of it would fall. Thaur (one of the narrators) said: I think that he said: The part by the side of the ocean. Then they would say for the second time:" There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest" that the second side would also fall, and they would say:" There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," that the gates would be opened for them and they would enter therein and, they would be collecting spoils of war and distributing them amongst themselves that a noise would be heard and It would be said: Verily, Dajjal has come. And thus they would leave everything there and would turn to him.4

So this proves that Bani Ishaq will fight against the Christians in the Armageddon and 1/3rd of them will be left behind to conquer Constantinople.
Now we have two more points by reading the above Ahadith i.e

3. After conquering Constantinople these 1/3rd Muslims will hear a cry of coming of Dajjal. 4. Then these 1/3rd Muslims will start preparing for prayers (Salat )before the war when Prophet Sayyidna Eisa (Jesus) Alayhay Salam will come.

Now when they Army of Mahdi will be waiting for the Prayers (Salat) what will be the situation of the Arabs?
This is told in the following hadith. When these two events will be over then a small number of Arabs will join these forces as told in this hadith.

: .....

Saheeh Muslim, Kitaab al-Fitan,Hadith 2920

 . . .)) : ! (( . . . .... ..... ( ) . ( ) ! ( ) .

Narrated by Hadrat Umama a long Hadith from Dear Prophet(salallaho alayhay wa sallam) where Umm Sharik said: Where would be the Arabs then in that day?(Meaning why the Arabs wont come forward and fight for Islam ). He(salallaho alayhay wa sallam) said: They would be small in number? And from that remaning Arabs,most of them will be in Bait-ul-Muqaddas (Sham) and their leader will be a pious man (Mahdi).When their leader will move forward to lead the Morning prayers,then,Hazrat Eisa(Alayhay salam) will descend from the sky.The leader will step back so that Hazrat Eisa(Alayhay salam) will lead the prayers but Hazrat Eisa(Alayhay salam) will put his hand on his back between his shoulders and say Move forward and lead the prayers because the Aqamah was called for you. Then the Imam will lead the prayers to all people.5
This hadith (along with the above two ahadith) clearly tells that Arabs will join only when Bani Ishaq Muslims will be preparing for war and at the time of Salat, Prophet Eisa Alayhay Salam will come. Two points are cleared here that

Sunan Ibn-e-Majah, Kitaab al-Fitan,Hadith 4077

Majority of the Arabs Will not take part in the war with the Christians and Majority of the Arabs Will not participate in the conquest of Constantinople. The Arabs willy come (in a very small number) when Bani Ishaq Muslims will be preparing for Prayers (Salat) after the conquest of Constantinople (before war against Dajjal) and when Prophet Jesus arrives

Please be clear that these two ahadith tells that The time of Waiting for Salat (prayers) and coming of Prophet Jesus (Eisa) is after the Armageddon with the Christians and AFTER the conquest of Constantinople.

Also the following hadith again clearly tells that Non Arabs of the East will fight the Great Wars of the end times
. : : : : " ".

! " ".
-- :

Sharik reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (Salallaho alayhay wa sallam) as saying: The people would run away from the Dajjal seeking shelter in the mountains. She said: Where would be the Arabs then in that day? He said: They would be very few.6
and also its clearly told about the Great Wars of End of times that Non Arabs from the East will make these lucky armies . . : :

Narrated Hazrat Abu Huraira(R.A)"When great wars will occur, then Allah subhanahu wa ta ala will rise an Army from the Non Arabs who will be greater riders and will have better weapons than the Arabs. Allah subhahu wa ta ala will support Deen (Islam) by 7"them

& Bani Israeli Muslims in Mahdis Army Mahdi living among Bani Israel Please check this fact from the following hadith ( ) ( ( ) ( ) : 862179
)Narrated Hazrat Umama reported Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa alay he wa sallam said: You and the Romans(Christians) will have four peace treaties . The fourth peace
7

.3 Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 971,Page 778 volume

would be at the hand of a person who would be from the Al-e-Haroon( family of Prophet Haroon).This peace treaty would be for seven years. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was asked who would be the Imam of the Muslims at that time. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said That person would be from my family,his age would be 40 years ,his face would be bright as a start and a black spot would be on his right cheek.He would be wearing two Qutwani Cloaks.He will appear exactly as the person from Bani Israeel. He will rule for 10 years and will conquer the cities of the Mushrikeen(Idolaters). 8

We have two results from the above Hadith.

1. Bani Israel is among Imam Mahdi Army as Al-e-Haroon (Family of Prophet Aron) is from Bani Israel 2. Imam Mahdi is living among Bani Israel and thats why he is wearing clothes of Bani Israel.

Can the Al-e-Harun in above hadith points towards the Non Muslims?
This is not possible as Quran has told us that misguided persons are not be related to the Prophets of Allah as we can see in the following verse where the misguided son of Prophet Nooh(alayhay salam) is considered out of the family of Prophet Nooh(alayhay salam).

.11-46 - ( ) ) ( ( ) 11-46 (
(Allah) said, :O NuH, in fact, he(Nuh's son) is not a part of your family. Indeed, he is (a man of) bad deeds. So do not ask Me something of which you have no knowledge. I exhort you not to be among the ignorant.(11:46)

Wrong Explanation of Hadith mentioning Bani Isaaq

of Saheeh Muslim

There are three baseless explanation of the above hadith about Childern of Prophet Ishaq. I shall explain one by one.

Baseless explanation No1

Some people say that the word Bani Ishaq refers to the ROMANS who are actually descendants of the so called 2nd son of Prophet Ishaq i.e. ESU or ISU .This baseless because of the following facts

Quran is always telling about the Single son of Prophet Ishaq(alayhay salam)
Check the following verses of Quran about the family of Prophet Ishaaq alayhay Salam

! . )02:136(-

002:136

Say (O Muslims), "We believe inAllah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrhim (Abraham), Ism'il (Ishmael), Ishque (Isaac), Ya'qb (Jacob), and to Al-Asbt [the twelve sons of Ya'qb (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Msa (Moses) and 'Iesa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)."(02:136)

(041: 20)Or say you that Ibrhim (Abraham), Ism'il (Ishmael), Ishque (Isaac), Ya'qb (Jacob) and Al-Asbt [the twelve sons of Ya'qb (Jacob)] were Jews or Christians? Say, "Do you know better or doesAllah (knows better...; that they all were Muslims)?

940:910 () - 940:910 So when he had turned away from them and from those whom they ,)worshipped besidesAllah, We gave him Ishque (Isaac) and Ya'qb (Jacob .)94:91(and each one of them We made a Prophet 270:120 ( ) () () ( ) 270:120 .)And We bestowed upon him Ishque (Isaac), and (a grandson) Ya'qb (Jacob )27:12(.Each one We made righteous 720:920 () . 720:920 And We bestowed on him [Ibrhim (Abraham)], Ishque (Isaac) and Ya'qb .(Jacob), and ordained among his offspring Prophethood and the Book [i.e

And remember Our slaves, Ibrhim (Abraham), Ishque (Isaac), and Ya'qb (Jacob), (all) owners of strength (in worshipping Us) and (also) of religious understanding.(38:45)
We only one son of Prophet Ishaaq(alayhay salam) is mentioned i.e Prophet Yaqoob(Israel)(Alayhay salam).

If 12 sons of Prophet Yaqoob can be mentioned by Quran then why not the so called 2nd twin son of Prophet Isaaq is mentioned?
Even then if(for a moment) we consider the Romans as the Bani Ishaq then Again it doesnt make sense as

Mahdi Army will come from the EAST while Romans are in the West
Adbullah bin Haris (R.A) reported that Dear Propet(salallaho alayhay wa sallam) said, Some people will come out from the EAST who will make Caliphate(Islamic rule) easy for Imam Mahdi.9

Mahdi Army will come from Khorasan where there are no Romans
Narrated by Thoban that Dear Prophet Muhammad(salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) said thatWhen you hear the news of Black Flags coming from the East, then, you must join them even if you have to crawl over ice(to reach them).10

10

Sunan Ibn Majah Kitab-al-fitan hadith No 4088 Masnad Ahmad 5:277.Also in Sunan Ibn Majah

 Mahdi Army will be among & Al-e-Haroon who is among Children of Yaqoob (& not the so called Esu)

Narrated Hazrat Umama reported Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa alay he wa sallam) said: You and the Romans(Christians) will have four peace treaties . The fourth peace would be at the hand of a person who would be from the Al-e-Haroon( family of Prophet Haroon).This peace treaty would be for seven years.,,(Hadith continues). 11

Mahdi will be wearing clothes of Bani Israel(& not like the Romans)
Narrated Hazrat Umama reported Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa alay he wa sallam) said(Im not mentioning the beginning part of the hadith) Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was asked who would be the Imam of the Muslims at that time. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said That person would be from my family,his age would be 40 years ,his face would be bright as a start and a black spot would be on his right cheek.He would be wearing two Qutwani Cloaks.He will appear exactly as the person from Bani Israeel. He will rule for 10 years and will conquer the cities of the Mushrikeen(Idolaters) 12
.

So as a summary I ask Are the ROMAN FROM THE EAST? Are the Romans from Khorasan? Are they from Bani Israel or Al e Haroon? (they are BANI ESU according the base less claim described above) Are the Romans wearing the Bani Israeli dress of Qutwan?

11 12

Kanz-ul-Aamal, Page 268, Hadith No 3868.Also Tabrani Kanz-ul-Aamal, Page 268, Hadith No 3868.Also Tabrani

So its proved that Bani Ishaaq never stands for the Romans of the West

Baseless explanation No2

According to some Scholars the word Bani-Ishaq (Children of Prophet Isaac ) actually means Bani-Ismael(Childern of Prophet Ismael ) or the Arabs.This is totally wrong because of the following reasons.

There is no hadith in any of the original copies of Saheeh Muslims that use the word Bani Ismael in this hadith. Majority of the Non Arabs will fight the great wars of end times for Islam
. . : : (( .))

Narrated Hazrat Abu Huraira(R.A)"When great wars will occur, then Allah subhanahu wa ta ala will rise an Army from the Non Arabs who will be greater riders and will have better weapons than the Arabs. Allah subhahu wa ta ala will support Deen (Islam) by them"13

70,000 means majority while hadith tells that Arabs will be less to fight Dajjal
. : : : : " ". ! " ". -- :
13

Sunan Ibn Majah Kitab-al-fitan hadith No 4090

Umm Sharik reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (Salallaho alayhay wa sallam) as saying: The people would run away from the Dajjal seeking shelter in the mountains. She said: Where would be the Arabs then in that day? He said: They would be very few. 14 You see for very less Arabs the word 70 thousand can never be used which means that Bani Ishaq can never point out towards the Arabs

Mahdi Army will come from Khurasan while Bani Ismael(Arabs) are not in Khurasan Mahdi will appear from a place with ICE while the Arab areas have deserts.
Thawban (R.A) reported that Dear Prophet(salallaho alayhay wa sallam) said, Three people will fight for your treasure (and get killed).All three of them will be sons of a Ruler but none of them will get the treasure. Then Black Flags will appear from the East & will kill you as no one (in History) has killed you before. Then Dear Prophet(salallaho alayhay wa alay hesallam) said soemthing that I didnt remember.Then again Dear Prophet(salallaho alayhay wa alay he sallam) said if you see him then give him your allegiance, even if you have to crawl over ice, because he is the Khalifah of Allah, the Mahdi15

Baseless explanation No 3
Some Scholars said that the Bani Ishaq is pointing towards a group of people in Bilad Ush Sham (Syria,Lebanon,Israel etc ) who claim to be from Bani Ishaq. This is contradictory to the following points of ahadith:

Mahdi Army will come from the East while Syria is in the West(according to ahadith) Mahdi Army will come from Khurasan & not Syria

Proof from Quran that Muslim Bani Israel will join Prophet Eisa(Alayhay Salam)
Quran tells us that a Prophet always comes a-Among his own people and bhave the language(culture) of his people.

014:004

) ( 014:004
We sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom(14:04)
So Quran clearly tells that Bani Israeli Prophet Eisa (Alayhay salam) will first come among his own Muslim Israeli brothers insha Allah. Note :It should be noted that Prophet Eisa(alayhay salam) will follow Islam and will not bring a new religion

END OF DISCUSSION PART -1

We have proved from Quran and Hadith that Bani Israel will join Imam Mahdi and Prophet Eisa (alayhay salam) in majority insha Allah.Also we have seen that Imam Mahdi will be living among the Muslim Bani Israel and would have adopted their Israeli culture.

DISCUSSION PART-2
Signs of the Bani Israelis who will join Imam Mahdis Army
Now keep in mind the above Ahadith so that now we shall search for the Bani Ishaq among the Muslims who will join Imam Mahdi. In other words ,it also means that if we search for the Muslims who will join Imam Mahdi then we can find out who are the Bani Ishaq among the Muslims. We shall do this by the following 3 steps.

1. Finding the Geographical Location of Mahdis Army from Ahadith. 2. Finding the Culture of Mahdis Army from Ahadith 3. Finding the specific Race of Mahdis Army from Ahadith. 4. Finding special feature of Mahdi's army from Ahadith.

1. Finding the Geographical Location of

the Bani Israelis of Mahdis Army

Sign-1 They will come from the East

Thawban (R.A) reported that Dear Propet(salallaho alayhay wa sallam) said, Three people will fight for your treasure (and get killed).All three of them will be sons of a Ruler but none of them will get the treasure. Then Black Flags will appear from the East & will kill you as no one (in History) has killed you before. Then Dear Prophet(salallaho alayhay wa alay hesallam) said soemthing that I didnt remember.Then again Dear Prophet(salallaho alayhay wa alay he sallam) said if you see him then give him your allegiance, even if you have to crawl over ice, because he is the Khalifah of Allah, the Mahdi(The hadith is Saheeh(Most Authentic) according to the standards of Saheeh Bokhari & Saheeh Muslim).16
Note : There are many more Ahadith also about the army of the East helping Mahdi, but only these two are written so that the discussion doesnt become too lengthy.

Sign-2 They will be from Khorasan

The following 2 authentic ahadith further proves that the East in the above hadith means Khurasan.

Thoban r.a(Companion of Dear Prophet Muhammad Salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) reported that Dear Prophet Muhammad Salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) said: When u see that Black Flags have appeared from KHORASAN ,go to (join) them even if you have to walk over ICE on your knees as the Khalifah of Allah MAHDI will be among them.17

Abu Huraira r.a(Companion of Dear Prophet Muhammad Salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) reported that Dear Prophet Muhammad Salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) said: Black Flags will appear from KHORASAN ,Nothing will will stop them until they will be placed at Elya(The Holy Land of Jerusalem)18.

The above three Ahadith are Authentic

All the above 3 ahadith are Saheeh Ahadith.Famous Hadith scholar Ali Mutaqqi says about the above hadith (of Masnad Ahmad )that these are authentic and further says in the beginning of his book that:

Also another famous Hadith Scholar, Ibn Hajar, said the same thing

Translation : Famous scholar of Hadith,Hafiz Ibn Hajar also accepted the same rule about Masnad Ahmad and said that there is no Daif Hadith in Masnad Ahmad.Also Ibn Hajar did not accepted the ruling of Ibn Jauzi considering some of the ahadith of Masnad Ahmad as Daif.Infact Ibn Hajar wrote a book called Al-Qaul-ul-Masdood in which he proved the claim of Ibn Jauzi wrong and proved that even these ahadith were not Daif(Reference from Muntakhib Kanzul Amal,Ali Hamish,Page 8,9, volume 1).22
Now so far we have found out that the Madhis Army will be from The East and then in Khorasan in the East. We all know that Pashtun live in the East and in Khorasan.

Its ruling is that it is obligatory to accept and act upon it. 20 af, ( ,) is the categorization of a hadith as weak. Ibn Hajar described the cause of a hadith being classified as weak as "either due to discontinuity in the chain of narrators or due to some criticism of a narrator. 21 asan, ( ,) linguistically means good and there exist somewhat convergent technical definitions, however, in general, it expresses the categorization of a hadith's authenticity as acceptable for use as a religious evidence, however, not established to the extent of a 22 Page 68 & 75 of the book,Aqeedah Zahur-e-Mahdi by Dr.Mufti Nizam-ud-din Shamzai.

Narrated by Hazrat Abdullah Bin Masood(raddi Allah anho) that Dear Propher (salallaho alayhay wa sallam) said: A Nation carrying black banners will come out of the east. They will instruct the people to do good, but the people will refuse; they will fight until they are victorious, and the people do as they asked, but they will not accept it from them until they hand over power to a man from my household. Then the earth will be filled with fairness, just as it had been filled with injustice. If any of you live to see this, you should go to him even if you have to crawl across ice.24

And also the following ahadith(also previously mentioned therefore I have not used the Arabic Text of these Ahadith here)
Dear Prophet Muhammad(salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) said that When you hear the news of Black Flags coming from the East, then, you must join them even if you have to crawl over ice(to reach them).25 Thoban r.a(Companion of Dear Prophet Muhammad Salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) reported that Dear Prophet Muhammad Salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) said: When u see that Black Flags have appeared from KHORASAN ,go to (join) them even if you have to walk over ICE on your knees as the Khalifah of Allah MAHDI will be among them.26
There are more Ahadith also telling about the emergence of Imam Mahdis army from a place with ICE or a cold climate place.We all know that the Pashtuns live in a cold climate area with snow fall.

2. Finding the culture of Bani Israelis of Mahdi Army

( ) ( ( ) ( ) 971 : 862
Narrated Hazrat Umama reported Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa alay he wa sallam) said: You and the Romans(Christians) will have four peace treaties . The fourth peace would be at the hand of a person who would be from the Al-e-Haroon( family of Prophet Haroon).This peace treaty would be for seven years. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was asked who would be the Imam of the Muslims at that time. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said That person would be from my family,his age would be 40 years ,his face would be bright as a start and a black spot would be on his right cheek.He would be wearing two Qutwani Cloaks.He will appear exactly as the person from Bani Israeel. He will rule for 10 years and will conquer the cities of the Mushrikeen(Idolaters). 27

Sign-4 Mahdi wearing Israeli clothes & having Bani Israel in his Army.

Kanz-ul-Aamal, Page 268, Hadith No 3868. Tabarn narrated it in al-Mujam-ulkabr (8:101#7495), Musnad-ush-shmiyyn (2:410#1600); and Haytham in Majmauz-zawid (7:318,319).
27

We have two results from the above Hadith.

1. Bani Israel is among Imam Mahdi Army as Al-e-Haroon (Family of Prophet Aron) is from Bani Israel 2. Imam Mahdi is living among Bani Israel and thats why he is wearing clothes of Bani Israel.

What is meant by Qutwani cloaks?

Qutwani cloaks resembles the "TALLIT of present day as called by the Israelis.Both Qutwani cloak and TALLIT have fringes (tzitzit) on borders and its mostly made of Wool.. It generally falls across the head, neck, and shoulders. However the Qutwani cloak is larger and more conspicuous prayer shawl than the Tallit.28
Now the Qutwani cloak has following features: They are made of Wool (as many scholars described it ) They are wrapped around the body(as the above hadith also mentiones). It has fringes on its borders. Its a warm dress of cold weather. Qutwani cloak is exactly like the cloaks worn by the Pashtoons of Afghanistan and Pakistan and its also worn in the same way like the Qutwani cloak described in the hadith and its explanation. Infact these cloaks are often the necessary part of the Pashtun dress (In Contrast to the present day Jews who wear the so called Tziitzit as a symbol and which are much smaller to be wrapped around the body. In fact it has just become a something to show off by Jews and not essential part of dress).

Britannica 1997

Fig- Qutwani Cloak of The Pathans The above mentioned hadith telling that Imam Mahdi would be from the family of Dear Prophet (salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) but would not look like Dear Prophet(salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) in appearance clearly tells that Mahdi will not be living among the Arabs .His appearance described as wearing Qutwani cloaks and looking like a person from Bani Israel shows that he must have been living among the Pathans for a long time and therefore IMAM MAHDI would be dressed also like the Pathans. Remember Family of the Prophet Muhammad(salallaho alayhay wa sallam) is all over the world and have adopted different cultures.

Another hadith telling that Imam Mahdi is not wearing the dress of the Arabs

: : : :

 : ".. . 897 . : :
Hadrat Ali looked at son ,Hassan, and said that this son of mine will be the Leader just like he was named by Dear Prophet Muhammad salallaho alayhay wa sallam and soon a person will be born from his progeny whose name will be like the name of your Prophet salallaho alayhay wa sallam.He will have Akhlkaq(Character) like your Prophet Salallaho alayahay wa sallam but his Khalaq(appearance) will not be like him.Then told a long story and then said that he will fill the earth with Justice.29

Family of Dear Prophet (Salallaho alayhay wa sallam) is all over the World adopting different cultures.
So Imam Mahdi will be from the family of the Prophet salallaho alayhay wa sallam but living among the Bani Israel and therefore not wearing clothes like the Arabs. Now we have located the Area from where the Army of Mahdi will come also the appearance of Mahdi and his army.

3-Finding the specific Race of Army of Mahdi from Ahadith.

We should know that Sayyidna Ishaq (Alayhay Salam) is father of Sayyidna Israel (Alayhay Salam) so Bani Israel and Bani Ishaq have same meaning. Also Sayyidna Haroon (Aron)(Alayhay salam) is from Bani Israel

Sign-5 Bani Ishaq will be in Mahdis Army.

This has already been discussed and the ahadith of Saheeh Muslim quoted before here in this article.One of those ahadith is quoted again below. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) saying: You have heard about a city the one side of which is in the land and the other is in the sea (Constantinople). They said: Allall's Messenger, yes. Therer upon he said: The Last Hour would not come unlesss seventy thousand[1] persons from Bani lshaq would attack itcontinued..30

Sign-6 Family of Prophet Harun will be with Mahdi in Mahdis Army.

This hadith has already been quoted.Part of the hadith is Narrated Hazrat Umama reported Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa alay he wa sallam) said: You and the Romans(Christians) will have four peace treaties. The fourth peace would be at the hand of a person who would be from the Al-e-Haroon( family of Prophet Haroon)..continued..31 This hadith shows that family of Prophet Harun (Aron) Alayhay salam is in the army of Mahdi.We know that Prophet Harun(Aron) is from Bani Israel,therefore,it proves that Muslim Bani Israel is making the majority of Imam Mahdis army.

Can the Al-e-Harun in above hadith points towards the Non Muslims?
This is not possible as Quran has told us that misguided persons are not be related to the Prophets of Allah as we can see in the following verse where the
30 31

Saheeh Muslim Kanz-ul-Aamal, Page 268, Hadith No 3868

misguided son of Prophet Nooh(alayhay salam) is considered out of the family of Prophet Nooh(alayhay salam).

Pathans wearing Israeli Qutwani Cloaks in daily Life

Sign-7 Tribe of Kash Kash will be in Mahdis Army

The following Authentic Hadith tells about the fight of Qais tribe with a Sufyani(from Arab tribe of Quraish) who is enemy of Imam Mahdis

Narrated by Hazrat Abu Huraira(R.A) Dear Prophet(Salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) said: That a person called Sufyani will appear from the suburbs of Damascus and his general followers will be the people of Kulaib Tribe(a branch of Arab Banu Tamim tribe).He attack(so fiercely) that he will cut the bellies of Women and kill children. To fight against him, the people of the Tribe of Qais will gather. Sufyani will fight them and kill them so much that no valley will be left without their dead bodies .32

Where is the tribe of Kash or Kish or Qais ?

Qais Abdur Rashid Khan (575 - 661) Also known as Kash, Qesh and Qais

is a legendary ancestor of the Pashtun race, It is said that he travelled to Makkah and Medina in Saudi Arabia during the early days of Islam.[ He is believed to be the 37th descendent of King Saul (or Malik Talut in Quran) The children of Israel, in Ghore(place in Afghanistan), preserved their knowledge of the unity of God and the purity of their religious belief, and that on the appearance of the last and greatest of the prophets (Mohammed salallaho alayhay wa sallam) the Afghans of Ghore listened to the invitation of their Arabian brethren, the chief of whom was Khauled (or Caled), son of Waleed, so famous for his conquest of Syria, and marched to the aid of the true faith, under the command of Qais, afterwards surnamed Abdool Rasheed.His name is actually KASH or KISH but the Arabs pronounced it QAIS.33

32 33

Hakim Al-Mustadrik.Volume 4, Page 520 (Kitab al Fitan)Hadith 8586 Makhzan-e-Afghan

QAIS or KASH is actually the name of numerous personalities of the Childern of Isalm according to the Chronicles such as the following examples from the Chronicles.

Jeiel* the father of Gibeon lived in Gibeon, and the name of his wife was Maacah. 30His firstborn son: Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal,* Nadab, Chronicles 29 Gedor, Ahio, Zecher, 32and Mikloth, who became the father of Shimeah. Chronicles 33 Ner became the father of Kish, Kish of Saul,* Saul* of Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal; Chronicles12 The following are those who came to David at Ziklag, while he could not move about freely because of Saul son of Kish; they were among the mighty warriors who helped him in war.
KASH ABDUR RASHEED had his name from his Bani Israeli forefathers. The following figure shows the geneology of majority of the Pathans.

Fig: Pashtun Tribes Geneology34 In Pakistan and Afghanistan we find many places where Pashtuns live by the name of KISH/KASH such as DASHT-E-KASH (a desert in southern Afghanistan), The city of Kish Khenjak in Afghanistan in Velayat-e Oruzgan .

The Solomon mountain range is also know by Pashtuns as the KASH GHAR (The Mountain of KASH or QAIS) The HINDU KASH mountain range. The KASH GHAR in China is also named after KASH since he was the King of this area and a famous personality. There are several other cities by his name which can be seen in the detailed list of Biblical Israeli names in the next chapter insha Allah.

4-Finding the special feature of Army of .Mahdi

A MIGHTY WARRIOR NATION / VALIANT WARRIOR NATION .WILL ATTACK & DESTROY JEWISH KINGOM ONCE AGAIN Please read the following verses carefully.(The translation in Urdu is by )Hussain Ahmad Madni & in English its from Ifran-al-Quran

400:710 () ( ) 500:710 ( ) ( ) ( ) 600:710() ( ) ( )700:710 ( ) ( ) 800:710 And We categorically conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Book: You shall make mischief twice in the land and employ a violent defiance (against )40:71(obedience to Allah So when the promised first time of the two came to pass We brought upon )you those of Our servants who were great warriors. Then, in (your

400:710 500:710 600:710 700:710 800:710

search they penetrated up to your dwellings. And (this) promise was sure to be fulfilled.(17:05) Then We turned the victory over them to your favour and helped you with (affluence in) wealth and children and increased your numerical strength Whenever you did good, it was to your own advantage; and (as well).(17:06) whenever you committed evil, it was to your own disadvantage. So, when the time of the fulfillment of the second prophecy drew near, (We raised other enemies that would) disfigure your faces and enter the Temple (of Jerusalem) as they had done the first time, and destroy whatever they would lay their hands on. (17:07) It may well be that (after this) your Lord will have mercy on you, but if you revert to the same (rebellious and defiant behaviour), then We too will get back to the same (tormenting once again). And We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers. (17:08).
Please concentrate on the two main points and words described in the verses(4-8) of Sura Bani Israel

We brought upon you those of Our servants who were great warriors...(07:04)..
Allah destroyed Jews in Al Quds before by Mighty Warrior Nation and if they disobey again, its a promise that IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN

( ) ( ) /////

.......

But if you do this again, We shall do that again(07:08),

SO WE HAVE TWO POINTS IN THE VERSE

1-If the Bani Israel is having control of the Holy Land (Jerusalem) & 2-They are not on the right path (of Islam)

Then Allah will send a Mighty warrior Nation to destroy them. Today we see the both conditions fulfilled as Jews (The misguided Bani Israel) are in control of Jerusalem. So once again a Great Warrior Nation will come to destroy them.

The Warrior Nature of the Muslims in Prophet Isa (Alayhay salam)s Army
The following hadith confirms the warrior nature of the Army of Imam Mahdi and Prophet Eisa (Alayhay salam)

. . : : .593.
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: A section of my people will not cease fighting for the Truth and will prevail till the Day of Resurrection. He said: Jesus son of Mary would then descend and their (Muslims') commander would invite him to come and lead them in prayer, but he would say: No, some amongst you are commanders over some (amongst you). This is the honour from Allah for this Ummah.35
We are all well aware of the fact that Pathans have always fought for Islam and never been defeated just as the above hadith tells. This hadith also confirms what is told in the above Quranic verses that a always a famous warrior nation will destroy the misguided Israelis(The Jews) in Holy Land

The meaning of in the above Hadith of Saheeh Muslim

We should remember that the commander-in-chief of the Muslims armies will be Prophet Eisa Alayhay salam and not Imam Mahdi.Following someone in Salat doesnt indicate his superiority because Dear Prophet Muhammad(salallaho alayhay wa sallam) also prayed behind sahaba like Sayyidna Abu Bakar & Abdur-Rehman bin Auf.
35

Saheeh Muslim,Vol 1, Hadith 395

Also it should be noted that there are many ahadith telling that Prophet .Sayyidna Eisa Alayhay salam will be the Caliph of Islam at that time Now the meaning of the last words of the above hadith are cleared by the .following hadith .
( ) : : 493 31 01

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: What would you do when the son of Mary would descend amongst you and would lead you as one amongst you? Ibn Abi Dhi'b on the authority of Abu Huraira narrated: Your leader amongst you. Ibn Abi Dhi'b said: Do you know what the words:" He would lead as one amongst you" mean? I said: Explain these to me. He said: He would lead you according to the Book of your: Lord (hallowed be He and most 63.)exalted) and the Sunnah of your Apostle (may peace be upon him

)Saheeh Muslim,Vol 1,Hadith 392(Kitab-ul-Eman

This Time The Fierce Warrior Nation that will conquer Jerusalem Will be From Khurasan.Insha Allah

: . .
Thoban r.a(Companion of Dear Prophet Muhammad Salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) reported that Dear Prophet Muhammad Salallaho alayhay wa alay he wa sallam) said: When u see that Black Flags have appeared from KHORASAN ,go to (join) them even if you have to walk over ICE on your knees as the Khalifah of Allah MAHDI will be among them.(This hadith is Saheeh(Most Authentic) according to the conditions of Saheeh Bokhari & Saheeh Muslim).37

:- : ( ) ( ) ( )
Abu Hurairah (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa alay he wa sallam) said: "(Armies carrying) black flags will come from Khorasan( Land of the Rising Sun meaning the East). No power will be able to stop them and they will finally reach Eela (Baitul Maqdas) where they will erect their flags."38

37 38

Mustadrak Hakim Hadith 8531. Jamia Tirimdi (Chapter of Kitab-al-Fitan) Hadith 2371

The Fierce Warrior Nation will be from the Muslim Bani Israel.
Since the leader of the end time Army of Islam will be Bani Israeli Prophet Eisa (Alayhay salam),therefore it also means that this Fierce warrior nation will be from Muslim Bani Israel as Quran tells us about the conditions of coming of a Prophet. )14:04(

We sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them.(14:4)
This tells us two things that a Prohet comes 1-amongst his own nation around him 2-and speaks their own language Like Dear Prophet Muhammad salallaho alayhay wa sallam is Arab,and he came amongst the Arabs and speak Arabic and like all Prophets before. Similarly when Bani Israeli Prophet Sayyidna Eisa Alayhay salam will come,in the beginning,his own nation will be around him,i.e the Muslim Bani Israel. Today only the Pathans are known to be from the Bani Israel and at the same time they live in Khurasan where Mahdi army will appear and also they are famous all over the world as a FIERCE WARRIOR NATION.

CONCLUSION
Therefore it means that the warning given in Quran to the misguided Bani Israel i.e

We brought upon you those of Our servants who were great warriors...(07:04)..
This warning to the Jews by Quran will be fulfilled by the Pathans of Khurasan Insha Allah This the the main reason for their genocide in Pakistan and Afghanistan since 1979 using different names and different reason such as so called Taliban,Al-qaeda,War on Terror etc etc.. No matter how much they torture and kill them with the help of fake reasons in Pakistan & Afghanistan),this Fierce Warrior Nation can never be stopped insha Allah.

CONCLUSION
From Quran and Hadith we found that Bani Israel will make majority of Prophet Eisa(alayahay salam) & Imam Mahdis army. Now further we found out They will come from the East. They will come from Khurasan. They will be from the tribe of KASH. They will be wearing Qutwani Cloaks. They will be famous in the world as a Great Warrior Nation.

So now the only Muslim race that is I. Living in the East II. Living in Khorasan III. Wearing the Qutwani Cloaks. IV. From the Descendants of Kash or Qais. V. Famous as a Great Warrior Nation in the world. Are Pashtuns and at the same time they are the only Muslim race living in the same location and considered to be from the VI. Lost tribes of Israel This proves from the Ahadith that the Pashtuns are from the lost tribes of Israel. It also means that the Pathans are from that Bani Israel who will join Imam Mahdi and Israeli Prophet Eisa Alayhay salam.

Objection
There are other races also living in Khurasan like the races having Turkish origin or having Turkish culture.Can they be from the Bani Israel who will join Mahdi?
This is not possible since Ahadith tells that the Turk races (majority of them) will join the army of Dajjal. Please check the following hadith telling about army of Dajjal with faces like shields.

Narrated 'Amr bin Taghlib: The Prophet said, "One of the portents of the Hour is that you will fight with people wearing shoes made of hair; and one of the portents of the Hour is that you will fight with broad-faced people whose faces will look like shields coated with leather."39

The following Hadith tells that these people with faces like shields will be in Dajjals Army.
: . .: :((

( ) 952 : :
Narrated by Amr ibn Hurayth quoted AbuBakr as-Siddiq as saying that Allah's Messenger (Salallaho alayhay wa sallam)told them the Dajjal would come forth from a land in the East called Khurasan, followed by people whose faces resembled shields covered with skin 40

Who in Khurasan have having faces like Shields (or flat faces)?
The Turks nations living in Khurasan have appearance just like that described in the Ahadith.Also ahadith tells that flat facespeople will be the Turks. We know that Khorasan (part of central Asia) has different nations sharing the sameTurkish culture.There are different Turkish countries but all of them share the same Turkish culture and are sometimes known as the Turkish states of Central Asia.One nation out them doesn not consider itself as Turk but they share the same Turkish culture i.e The Tajiks,as told in the words of Britannica 1997: Tajik people have been turkicised in the past centuries" Further discussion is beyond the scope of this book.I will write the detail about this in my next book Insha Allah. Please check for yourself who are the Turkic people of this area and who has adopted Turkish culture and have small eyes and round flat faces. Some people give a reference of the following hadith about the end times but this hadith is Daif (not authentic) and can never be used as a reference.Also there is no any other authentic hadith which supports the meaning of the following hadith.

Is The following Hadith Authentic?

CHAPTER 5: Medieval References of Muslim scholars about the Israelite Origin of Pathans
Here are some examples of very old references from Muslim scholars telling about the Israeli origin of Pathans.
Article written by Navras Aafreedi Source : http://bechollashon.org/database/index.php?/article/2802

(1317 AD/717 AH )The Garden of the Learned in the History of Great Men and Genealogies
One of the oldest manuscripts in the world is Abu Suleman Daud bin Abul Fazal Muhammad Albenaketis Rauzat uo Albab fi Tawarikh-ul-Akabir wal Ansab (The Garden of the Learned in the History of Great Men and Genealogies) written in AH 717, in which the author traces the ancestry of the Afghans to the Israelites Abu Sulayman Dauds Rauza-ul-Bab Twarikh-ul-Akbar-wal-Ansab (The Garden of the Learned in the History of Great Men and Genealogies) (AH 717/1310 CE) is considered the earliest work on the subject of the Israelite origin of Afridi Pashtuns/Pathans. It is a history of the Afghan/Pashtun/Pathan nation since the time of Moses. (Ref : Benjamin, Joshua M., The Mystery of Israels Ten Lost Tribes and the Legend of Jesus in India, 2nd edition, Mosaic Books, New Delhi, p. 16) The author in his Introduction explains that ever since the times of Moses the ancestors of Afghans have had to face great hardships. They were expelled from place to place and exterminated. Their ancient ancestors were sacked more than once and carried into captivity. In Chapter I a detailed history of Yacub (Jacob) is given and in Chapter II the genealogies of the Afghan tribes are further traced. Genealogies of the Pashtun/Pathan/Afghan tribes, right up to King Saul, are given in the second chapter of the book.

Note: It should be noted that this book is written in 717 Hijri and we do find authentic ahadith written upto 1000 hijri in hadith books such as Mustadrik Hakim.

(AH 816/1409 CE)Book by Sheikh Mali Yusufzai

Sheikh Mali of the Yusufzai tribe wrote in Pushto a book on the Israelite descent of the Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans between AH 816/1409 CE and AH 828/1412 CE.

(AH 900/1493 CE) Book by Khan Kaju

Another work in Pushto on the same subject is ascribed to Khan Kaju, written in circa AH 900/1493 CE. In this book its also told that all Pathans belong to the Bani Israel

(1259-60 CE) Tabaqat-i-Nasiri by Courtier of Sultan Shabuddin Ghauri.43

Upon these two works(i.e by Sheikh Mali Yusufzai 1409 AD & Khan Kaju 1493 AD) were based Tarikh-e-Hafiz Rahmat and Khulasat al-Ansab of Hafiz Rahmat Khan. Minhaj-i-Siraj Jurjari, who had close contact with the Ghurids and held posts of qazi (qadi), khatib, sadr-i-jahan and principal of the Nasiriya Madrassa, wrote in his Tabaqat-i-Nasiri (1259-60 CE), In the time of the Shansbani dynasty there were people called Bani Israel living in Ghor, and that some of them were extensively engaged in trade with the neighbouring countries( Ref: Imamudin, op. cit., p. 200) Tabaqat-i-Nasiri is an encyclopaedic history from the patriarchs and prophets, viz., Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to the time of Nasiruddin Mahmud. It is an invaluable source of information for the history of the early Turkish sultans and their maliks and amirs.(Ref: Habib, Mohammad and Khaliq Ahmad Nizami, eds., op. cit., p. xx)

(1326 AD) Tarikh-e-Guzeedah & Majma-ul-Ansab

Even before the political rise of Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans, Hamidullah Mustawfi had speculated that they were most likely Israelites in his monumental work Tarikh-e-Guzeedah (AH 730/1326 CE), as stated by
Shabudding Ghori(1150 15 March 1206), was a ruler of the Ghurid dynasty who reigned over a territory spanning present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India.

Neamatullah.44.This is a general historical account dedicated to Khwaja Ghiyasuddin Muhammad, son and successor of Rashiduddin Fazlullah.45 Mustawfis Majma-ul-Ansab gives a detailed genealogy of Qais (Kash), the tribal head of the Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans in a series of thirty-seven generations to King Saul and forty-five generations to Abraham ( Ref: Ibid)

Mirat-ul-Alam by Bukhtawar Khan

We find a detailed account of the journey of Afghans from Israel to Afghanistan in Bukhtawar Khans Mirat-ul-Alam, according to which Afghans are descendants of Israel (Jabob/Yacov/Yaqub) through King Saul46

(1551-1602 CE) Akbarnama by Abu Fazl courtier of Emperor Akbar47

An outline of the main tribal traditions of the Pashtuns/Pathans/Afghans have been chronicled by Abul Fazl (1551-1602 CE) in Akbarnama. This also tells about the Israeli origin of the Pathans. (13th Centry AD)Sulayman Makus Tadhkirat al Awliya (allegedly of the thirteenth century CE).Slightly different versions are given in Sulayman Makus Tadhkirat al Awliya (allegedly of the thirteenth century CE).He also has old about the Israeli origin of the Pathans

(1611 AD)Tadhkirat al-Abrar by Akhund Darwiza

Another scholar Akhund Darwiza had declared the Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans to be Israelites in his Tadhkirat al-Abrar (an account of his adventures in Afghan territories) in 1611 CE.48

Imamuddin, op. cit., p. 205 Habib, Mohammad and Khaliq Ahmad Nizami, eds., op. cit., p. xxi) 46 Ibid., pp. 16-17 47 Akbar the Great :(23 November 1542 27 October 1605), was the third Mughal Emperor of India. 48 .(Ref: Imamuddin, op. cit., p. 206)
44 45

(1621AD) Mirat-al-Afghani Khwaja Neamatullah courtier of Emperor Jahangir49

Naematullah was the first historian to present a systematic genealogical table of Pathans/Pashtuns/Afghans from Israel/Jacob. However he cant be given credit for propounding the theory of their Israelite origin because many others have done research in this subject long before him.His book was translated in English by Bernard Dork in 1829 Neamatullah sent five historians, viz., Qutb Khan, Sarmast Khan Abdali, Hamza Khan, Umar Khan Kakarr and Zarif Khan, to the Afghan/Pashtun/Pathan territories in AH 1030/1621 CE to investigate the descent of Afghans. Naematullah writes: Khaled sent a letter to the Afghans who had settled in the mountainous countries around Ghor ever since the time of the expulsion of the Israelites by Bokhtnasser, and informed them of the appearance of the last of the Prophets. When this letter reached them, several of their chiefs departed from Medina; the mightiest of them, and of the Afghan people, was Kais, whose pedigree ascends in a series of thirty-seven degrees to Talut, of forty-five to Ibrahim(Ref: Makhzan-i-Afghani (History of the Afghans) of Naematullah (1612 CE), translated . By Bernhard Dorn.50

THE WORD PASHTO

Another theory is that whenever people asked the Pathans/Pashtuns/Afghans about their nationality, they replied in Hebrew phasq or phasht. Phasq means to liberate, to make free, to split, while phasht means to spread. The word Pashtun seems to have been derived from this very word. (Ref: Imamuddin, op. cit., pp. 206-207)In Hebrew, Pasht is the name of a deity and also of a city in Egypt. In the Pashto language Pastu means an inner room with just one entrance, which indicates that they might have migrated from Israel to their present mountainous country and called themselves Pusht after a village in Israel ( Ref: Ibid., p. 207) Some believe that Pathans got their name from Jonathans great-grandson Pithon

THE THREE TRIBES

According to Pashtun/Pathan/Afghan genealogies, Kish married the daughter of Khalid ibn al-Waleed, from whom he had three sons Sarban, Bitan and Ghurgasht, Sarban in turn had two sons Sacharj Yun and Karsh. As per the tradition, the descendants of Yun are Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans. ( Ref: Benjamin, op. cit., p. 16)

Risal-i-Ansab-i-Afghana.
Fareed-ud-Din Ahmad tries to prove the Israelite descent of Pashtuns/Pathans/Afghans from King Talut (King Saul) in his Risal-i-Ansab-iAfghana.

Tarikh-i-Hafiz Rahmatkhani, by Hafiz Muhammad Zadeek 1770 AD

This books deal with the early history of the Afghans, their origin and wanderings in general. They particularly discuss the Yusuf Zyes (the Yusefzai, "Sons of Joseph") and their occupation of Kabul, Bajoor, Swat, and Peshawar.

Syed Jamal-ud-Din Afghani51 (Tarikh-i-Afghana / History of Afghans), and Syed Abdul Jabbar Shah (Mun'ameen-i-Bani Israel, MS
It is worth mentioning the names of Syed Jalal-ud-Din Afghani and Syed Abdul Jabar Shah, the ex-ruler of Swat (NWFP, Pakistan), who have given genealogies of different Afghan/Pashtun/Pathan tribes right up to King Saul and conclude that the Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans represent the Lost Tribes of Israel. Ref: Ibid., p. 17) Both these writers discuss the question exhaustively and come to the conclusion that the Afghans represent the Lost Tribes of Israel as viewed from the perspective of the Jewish/Western world.

"The Corrigendum of an Historic Fact" by The Nawab of Hoti, Sir Akbar Khan
The Nawab of Hoti, Sir Akbar Khan, writes in his famous book "The Corrigendum of an Historic Fact" that in 570 BC, the King of Babul Bukht Nasir ordered the two grandsons of Afghana, Armia and Burkhia, to settle the

"Christ in Heaven on Earth" by Khwaja Nazer Ahmad

Khwaja Nazer Ahmad proves in his book "Christ in Heaven on Earth" . that the Pashtoons belong to the lost tribes of Israel

CONCLUSION
The Pashtuns or Pathans are the world's only claimants of Israelite descent whose claim is backed by so many medieval references, spanning hundreds of years.

CHAPTER 6: References of Western Scholars about the Israelite Origin of Pathans

Here are some examples of Western scholars agreed on the Israeli origin of the Pathans Henry Vansittart 1788
If we turn to Anglo-Western writers during the time of the British Empire we find that they also have come to the same conclusion. The first to reach such is Henry Vansittart. In a letter which appeared in Indian Researches he commented on the Israelitis descent of the Afghans. He expressed the opinion that the claim of the Afghans to be Bani Israel are more than justified given his own observations of their indigenous traditions. [Indian Researches, 1788, Vol. 2: 69]

William Moorcroft 1819

William Moorcroft traveled during 1819 to 1825 through various countries adjoining India, including Afghanistan. "The Khaibarees," he says, "are tall and have a singularly Jewish cast of features." At Push Kyun, within Afghan territory, he came across a very old copy of the Old Testament in Hebrew. [Moorcroft, Travels in Himalayan Provinces of Hindustan and the Punjab; in Ladakh and Kashmir, in Peshawar, Kabul, Kunduz and Bokhara, 12]

Henry Walter Bellew(1834-1892)

Henry Walter Bellew(1834-1892) said that "The true Afghans(The Pathans) calle themselves Bani Israel.Infact their claim would be at once admitted and their country considered a second Palestine,for in support of the belief there is the mount Moriah(Morah),the peaks of Ilam and Dumah,the valley of Sodom(Sudhum),the stram of Gadarenes(Gadhar),the plain of Galilee(Jalala),for places;whilst for tribes there

are the Amazites (Amazai),the Moabites (Muhibwal),the Hittites (Hotiwal) ,the Yusuz Zai (Children of Joseph) etc.52

Sir Alexander Brunes,1835 AD

Sir Alexander Brunes in his Travels into Bokhara, which he published in 1835, speaking of the Afghans said: "The Afghans call themselves Bani Israel, or the children of Israel, but consider the term Yahoodi, or Jew, to be one of reproach. They say that Nebuchadnezzar, after the overthrow of Israel, transplanted them into the towns of Ghore near Bamean and that they were called after their Chief Afghana... they say that they lived as Israelites till Khalid summoned them in the first century of the Mohammadans... Having precisely stated the traditions and history of the Afghans I see no good reason for discrediting them... the Afghans look like Jews and the younger brother marries the widow of the elder. The Afghans entertain strong prejudices against the Jewish nation, which would at least show that they have no desire to claim without just cause a descent from them. [Sir Alexander Brunes, Travels into Bokhara, Vol. 2:139-141.] Brunes was again in 1837 sent as the first British Envoy to the Court of Kabul. For some time he was the guest of King Dost Muhammad Khan. He questioned the King about the descent of the Afghans from the Israelites. The King replied that "his people had no doubt of that, though they repudiated the idea of being Jews".

J.B. Frazer,1843 AD

J.B. Frazer in his book, An Historical and Descriptive Account of Persia and Afghanistan, which he published in 1843, says: "According to their own tradition they believe themselves to be descendants from the [Hebrews]...they preserved the purity of their religion until they met with Islam." [J.B. Frazer, A Historical and Descriptive Account of Persia and Afghanistan, 298]

J.P. Ferrier,1858 A.D

J.P. Ferrier wrote his History of the Afghans in 1858. It was translated by Capt. W. M. Jesse. He too was disposed to believe that the Afghans represented the Ten Tribes of Israel. In support of his view he recorded, among others, a very significant fact: When Nadir Shah marching to the Page 75 , "The races of Afganistan being a brief account of the principal nations inhabiting that country". by Henry Walter Bellew MRCP (18341892)
52

conquest of India arrived at Peshawar, the chief of the tribe of Yoosoof Zyes (Sons of Joseph) presented him with a Bible written in Hebrew and several other articles that had been used in their ancient worship and which they had preserved. These articles were at once recognized by the Jews who followed the camp. J.P. Ferrier, History of the Afghans, 4.

The Lost Tribes by George Moore 1861 AD

George Moore published his famous work The Lost Tribes in 1861. He gave numerous facts to prove that these tribes are traceable to the Afghans. After giving details of the character of the wandering Israelites, he said: "And we find that the very natural character of Israel reappear in all its life and reality in countries where people call themselves Bani Israel and universally claim to be the descendants of the Lost Tribes. The nomenclature of their tribes and districts, both in ancient Geography, and at the present day, confirms this universal natural tradition. Lastly, we have the route of the Israelites from Media to Afghanistan and India marked by a series of intermediate stations bearing the names of several of the tribes and clearly indicating the stages of their long and arduous journey." [George Moore, The Lost Tribes] Moore goes on to say: "Sir William Jones, Sir John Malcolm and the missing Chamberlain, after full investigation, were of the opinion that the Ten Tribes migrated to India, Tibet, and Cashemire [Kashmir] through Afghanistan." [[George Moore, The Lost Tribes] Moore has mentioned only three eminent writers on the subject. But reference can also be made to General Sir George Macmunn (Afghanistan from Darius to Amanullah, 215), Col. [G.B. Malleson (The History of Afghanistan from the Earliest Period to the outbreak of the War of 1878, 39), Col. Failson, (History of Afghanistan, 49), George Bell (Tribes of Afghanistan, 15), E. Balfour (Encyclopedia of India, article on Afghanistan), Sir Henry Yule (Encyclopedia Britannica, article on Afghanistan), and the Hon. Sir George Rose (Rose, The Afghans, the Ten Tribes and the Kings of the East, 26). They, one and all, independently came to the same conclusion. Another, Major H.W. Bellew, went on a political mission to Kandahar and published his impressions in his Journal of a Mission to Kandahar, 1857-8. He then wrote in 1879 his book Afghanistan and Afghans. In 1880 he was sent, once again on another mission to Kabul, and in the same year he delivered two lectures before the United Services Institute at Simla: "A New Afghan Question, or "Are the Afghans Israelites?" and "Who are the Afghans?" He then published another book: The Races of Afghanistan. Finally he collected all his facts in An Enquiry into the Ethnography of Afghanistan, which was published in 1891.

An Enquiry into the Ethnography of Afghanistan by H.W. Bellew

In this work he mentions Killa Yahoodi ("Fort of the Jews") (H.W. Bellew, An Enquiry into the Ethnography of Afghanistan, 34), as being the name of the eastern boundary of their country, and also speaks of Dasht-iYahoodi ("Jewish plain") (ibid., 4), a place in Mardan District. He concludes: "The Afghans accounts of Jacob and Esau, of Moses and the Exodus, of the Wars of the Israelites with the Amalekites and conquest of Palestine, of the Ark of the Covenant and of the election of Saul to the Kingdom, etc., etc., are clearly founded on the Biblical records, and clearly indicate a knowledge of the Old Testament, which if it does not prove the presence of the Christians at least corroborates their assertion that the Afghans were readers of the Pentateuch up to the time of the appearance of Mohammad." (Ibid., 191) Note, it is well understood and undisputed that there have never been Christian communities in Afghanistan pre- or for many centuries after the dawn of Islam.

Thomas Ledlie, More Ledlian, Calcutta Review, January, 1898

Thomas Ledlie wrote an article in the Calcutta Review, which he subsequently elaborated and published in two volumes. He expressed his views on the subject very clearly: "The Europeans always confuse things, when they consider the fact that the Afghans call themselves Bani Israel and yet reject their Jewish descent. Indeed, the Afghans discard the very idea of any descent from the Jews. They, however, yet claim themselves to be of Bani Israel." [Thomas Ledlie, More Ledlian, Calcutta Review, January, 1898] Ledlie goes on to explain: "Israelites, or the Ten Tribes, to whom the term Israel was applied after their separation from the House of David, and the tribe of Judah, which tribe retained the name of Judah and had a distinct history ever after. These last alone are called Jews and are distinguished from the Bani Israel as much in the East as in the West." [Ibid., 7]

Dr. Alfred Edersheim, The Life and Times of Jesus, the Messiah
Among more contemporary writers Dr. Alfred Edersheim says: "Modern investigations have pointed to the Nestorians and latterly, with almost convincing evidence (so far as it is possible) to the Afghans as descendants from the Lost Tribes." [Dr. Alfred Edersheim, The Life and Times of Jesus, the Messiah, 15]

The Gates of India by Sir Thomas Holditch

Sir Thomas Holditch in his The Gates of India says: "But there is one important people (of whom there is much more to be said) who call themselves Bani Israel, who claim a descent from Cush and Ham, who have adopted a strange mixture of Mosaic Law in Ordinances in their moral code, who (some sections at least) keep a feast which strongly accords with the Passover,...and for whom no one has yet been able to suggest any other origin than the one they claim, and claim with determined force, and these people are the overwhelming inhabitants of Afghanistan." Sir Thomas Holditch, The Gates of India, 49. There are many additional references, recorded incidents, manuscripts and artifacts related to the Hebraic history of the Pashtuns for the dedicated objective researcher who seeks them out.

The Exiled and the Redeemed,1957 Itzhak Ben-Zvi (2nd President of Israel)
In his 1957 classic The Exiled and the Redeemed, Itzhak Ben-Zvi, second President of Israel, writes that Hebrew migrations into Afghanistan began, "with a sprinkling of exiles from Samaria who had been transplanted there by Shalmaneser, King of Assyria (719 BC). From the recurrent references in the Book of Esther to the "one hundred and twenty seven dominions" of King Ahasuerus, the deduction is permissible that eastern Afghanistan was among them." [[The Exiled and the Redeemed, 176] Ben-Zvi continues, "The Afghan tribes, among whom the Jews have lived for generations, are Moslems who retain to this day their amazing tradition about their descent from the Ten Tribes. It is an ancient tradition, and one not without some historical plausibility. A number of explorers, Jewish and non-Jewish, who visited Afghanistan from time to time, and students of Afghan affairs who probed into literary sources, have referred to this tradition, which was also discussed in several encyclopedias in European languages. The fact that this tradition, and no other, has persisted among these tribes is itself a weighty consideration. Nations normally keep alive memories passed by word of mouth from generation to generation, and much of their history is based not on written records but on verbal tradition. This was particulary so in the case of the nations and the communities of the Levant. The people of the Arabian Peninsula, for example, derived all their knowledge of an original pagan cult, which they abandoned in favor of Islam, from such verbal tradition. So did the people of Iran, formerly worshipers of the religion of Zoroaster; the Turkish and Mongol tribes, formerly Buddhists and Shamanists; and

the Syrians who abandoned Christianity in favor of Islam. Therefore, if the Afghan tribes persistently adhere to the tradition that they were once Hebrews and in course of time embraced Islam, and there is not an alternative tradition also existent among them, the matter certainly deserves careful and critical examination." [The Exiled and the Redeemed] [New York Times Magazine, 42, Aug. 25, 2002]

New York Times Magazine, 42, Aug. 25, 2002

The claim of Afghans to be the Bani Israel (Children of Israel) is not founded on oral tradition alone. It is supported by ancient monuments, old inscriptions, manuscripts, and historical works, many in the public domain, and many others in private collections. Of recent report is the 12th century Hebrew cemetery a mile and a half from the base of the Tower of Jam in the middle of a very desolate region of Western Afghanistan. [New York Times Magazine, 42, Aug. 25, 2002]

International Encyclopaedia of Islamic Dynasties

Ancient tradition of Pashtun tribes is described in International Encyclopaedia of Islamic Dynasties .It written that there is a tribal tradition that the Pashtuns originated in Israel in the days of King Saul, from whom they claim descent through a son, Irmia (Jeremiah), and a grandson, Afghana, from whom the name Afghanistan is derived, with its inhabitants called Afghans. Pashtuns/Pathans/Afghans maintain that they grew great in Israel, where they were favourites of Daud (David) and Sulaiman (Solomon); and where the latter assigned them to guard the temple from the assaults of jealous demons. To aid them in this task, Sulaiman (Solomon), master of djins and afreets, taught the Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans the language of hell. At this time there appeared a wicked magician, Bukht-ud-Nasir (Nebuchadnezzar), who scattered the tribes of Israel and sent the Afghans, as the most obstreperous, far to the east, to the land of Sham or Syria. From there they migrated to the mountains of Ghor in western Afghanistan, and settled down, adhering to monotheism, although surrounded by countless idolaters and polytheists. As the legend goes, in the time of Muhammad, an Afghan/Pashtun/Pathan, Qais or Kish, visited Mecca and embraced Islam, receiving the name Abdul Rasheed. He returned to Afghanistan to convert his people, and all the Pashtuns/Pathans/Afghans are the progeny of his two sons, Sarban and Ghurghusht, and daughter Bibi Matto. (Ref: Singh, Nagendra K., ed., International Encyclopaedia of Islamic Dynasties, Vol. I, Anmol Publications Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, 2000, p. 35)

THREE NAMES OF SAME RACE WITH DIFFERENT MEANINGS

Another theory is that whenever people asked the Pathans/Pashtuns/Afghans about their nationality, they replied in Hebrew phasq or phasht. Phasq means to liberate, to make free, to split, while phasht means to spread. The word Pashtun seems to have been derived from this very word. (Ref:Imamuddin, op. cit., pp. 206-207)In Hebrew, Pasht is the name of a deity and also of a city in Egypt. In the Pashto language Pastu means an inner room with just one entrance, which indicates that they might have migrated from Israel to their present mountainous country and called themselves Pusht after a village in Israel. (Ref:Ibid., p. 207)Some believe that Pathans got their name from Jonathans great-grandson Pithon Pathans, Pashtuns, Pakhtuns and Afghans are names which are often used interchangeably. There is nothing wrong in this usage, but each name has its own meaning. Those who inhabit plains and plateaus are entitled to the name Afghan, which has a far wider connotation than just being a subject of the modern state of Afghanistan, founded only in 1747. The northern highlanders call themselves Pakhtuns, while the southern highlanders are known as Pashtuns. The appellation Pathan is the Indian variant of Pakhtanah, the plural of Pakhtun

CHAPTER 7: Some Pathans are not from Bani Israel

There is no doubt that the Pathans that who belong to the family of Kash / Qias are no doubt from the Bani Israel. But there are some other tribes among Pathans who only speak Pashto language but originally they are not from Bani Israel. When Bani Israel came to Khurasan they mixed with the races living here from before.Also some Iranian and Turks also came to live with the Bani Israel.For this reason there are some tribes who speak Pashto but they are not from the Bani Israel. These Pashto speaking tribes have no relation with the following Qurainc verse. Quran tells us that a Prophet always comes a-Among his own people and bhave the language(culture) of his people. 014:004

( ) 014:004
We sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom(14:04)
It means that Jesus will join only those Pathans who are 1. Muslims 2. Having the culture & language of Pathans(Muslim Bani Israel). 3. And have Israeli origin like Prophet Eisa(Alayhay salam) Note: It should be noted that Prophet Eisa(alayhay salam) will follow Islam and will not bring a new religion.

CHAPTER 8: Why I wrote this Book?

I didnt write this for the sake of telling History. I wrote this only to tell the world the real intentions of the People of the Book. The people of the Book also know about the coming of Jesus and they also know that the Muslim Bani Israel (The Pathans) will join them because Quran has clearly told us that:

002:146 ( ) 002:146

Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (Muhammad salallaho alayhay wa sallam ) as they recognize their sons. But verily, a party of them conceals the truth while they know it -2:146
This is the main reason for the continuous oppression and killing of the Pathans since 1979.It still continues using the fake reasons of so called Taliban,Al-Qeada,War on Terror etc etc.All these reasons have the sole purpose of the elimination of the Muslim Bani Israel who will join Israeli Prophet Eisa alayhay salam and bring Islamic rule in the world. The present situation of Muslim Bani Israel is just like that at the time of Pharoah of Eygypt who also killed them because of fear of Israeli Prophet Musa (Moses) Alayhay salam.Today they are killed due to the coming of Israeli Prophet Eisa (Alayhay salam) among them.

The Continuous Opression on Pathans is only making them worthy to be the Chosen ones

002:214 () () ( )

Quran tells that

( ) ) () ( 002:214
Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said," When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.(2-214)
Yes indeed without

1. Extreme hardships and torture for the Sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta ala 2. great afflictions and remaining steadfast 3. being expelled from homes for Islam (being refugee for Islam)
The high levels can never be acheived Also if we see the following verse,it is clearly told,that the criteria for Khilafah of Islam in this world is extremehardship and patience for the sake of Allah

028:005 028:005 ( )

And We wished to do a favour to those who were weak (and oppressed) in the land, and to make them rulers and to make them the inheritors,- 28-5
We can see most of the Pasthun population has been expelled from their homes since 1979 both in Pakistan and Afghanistan using different fake reasons of so called Jihad, Taliban,Al Qaeda,War on terror,Seraiki Province.There is no Al-qaeda,no Taliban,no terorrists ,no racists or drug dealers.All these are just self made illusions to eliminate the Pathans and also hide their real intentions behind it. But all this oppression will only make them worthy to be the chosen ones of the sacred army of Prophet Isa (alayhay salam) and Imam Mahdi.Insha Allah

Take a map and check all the locations where Muslim Pathans from Bani Israel and speak the Pashto language.You will find that at all these places some Reason is created for their eleminations.

Like in Afghanistan first there was Russian Invasion in 1979 and surprisingly the war only took place in the Pasthun areas and only Afghan

National Army(Pashtuns at that time) fought with the so called Mujahideen(also Pashtuns) in Pashtun areas, leaving millions of Pashtuns being killed and millions homeless. After Russia the so called Mujahideen fought with each other and this time also only in the Pashtun areas. Then the Taliban illusion was launched and again in the Pashtun areas only.Today we see NATO does operation against the invisible taliban only in the Pashtun areas. It is for this reason the Pashtun population of Afghanistan reduced from 80% to just 28%. In Iran they are being killed by the name of Anti Drug or Anti terrorism operation. Same is done in Pakistan. Other reasons are also being created like the Baluch Liberation Army in Baluchistan province of Pakistan, MQM in Karachi Pakistan, movement for Seraikistan in Pakistan. All these have the sole purpose of the elimination of Muslim Bani Israel.Little they know that Pharoah of Eygypt tried to do this but failed and insha Allah they will also fail to stop the Army of Israeli Prophet Eisa (Alayhay salam).

The People of the Book are only afraid of the Army of Mahdi
It should be noted that the Non Muslims are not afraid of the Muslims of the End times except for the Muslims who will join those sacred Armies. The Majority of the Muslims will be weak in the eyes of other Nation as told in this hadith.

- ( ) () 904 - : :

Narrated Thawban: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will that be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and last enervation into your hearts. Someone asked: What is wahn (enervation). Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him): He replied: Love of the world and dislike of death. 53

The millions of Pashtun Homeless Refugees will Join Prophet Eisa (Alayhay salam)
Expulsion from homes or homeland is a great sacrifice.Those Muslims who remain patient on this great sacrifice are greatly rewarded as told in Quran

003:195 003:195 ()
So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their evil deeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward.".3-195
We can see that in Ahadith its told that people who will be expelled from their homes or homeland will join the army of Prophet Eisa Alayhay Salam in the end times.

And also from this hadith that tells that Poor Mohajireen (Muslims .who have left their homes as refugees)will be appointed the Leaders So these homeless Pashtun refugees will insha Allah have the crown of Khilfah

"Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf said: "We will say what Allah has commanded us to say." The Messenger of Allah (Salallaho alayhay wa Sallam ) said: Or something other than that. You will complete with one another, then you will envy one another, then you will turn your backs on one another, then you will hate one another, or something like that. Then you will go to the poor among the Muhajirin (Muslim refugees)and appoint some of them as leaders of others. 55 Insha Allah these Pashtun refugees will bring peace to the world under the leadership of Imam Mahdi and Prophet Eisa alayhay salam.
Note :The above hadith also clearly tells that the Meaning of Ghurba(Alians) of the end times in the previous hadith means the homeless Refugees of Islam
The poor Bani Israel will rise Insha Allah as it did when Pharoah of Eygypt tried to kill them all.
