The Period of the Mahdi's Rule in the Bible
The supremacy of religious moral values—Allah’s promise in the Qur’an—also appears in the Bible as well as the Old Testament. This promise, set out in the scriptures of all the Abrahamic faiths, refers to a community descended from the line of Prophet Abraham (pbuh), with an unconditional faith in Allah, living solely for His approval and striving to spread the moral values of the faith across the world. The Mahdi, who is due to appear in the End Times, and his community are the believers who, by Allah’s leave, will be the means whereby this promise comes about.
This promise of Allah’s appears as follows in the Bible:
... you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, “Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.” (Acts 3:25)
It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. (Romans 4:13)

He [Jesus] said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is ... You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky.
