My Shia brother in the Iraq madrasa is a Sayyid, he is a young descendent of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who is about my age.

We traded books on various topics which I will not mention here. Here is one mysterious text he sent me that has no English translation, I've taken it upon myself to translate it.

The title means roughly:

The Era of Emergence.

It describes the appearance of the Mahdi, the leader of all Muslims who appears to join with Jesus Christ in the End of Days to bring justice to all humanity.
