According
to Judaic belief, in the period following the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh),
all hatred, enmity and war in the world will come to an end. Peace and justice
will be established, and an administration based on love will be set up.
During
the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), there will also be great scientific advances.
Cities will be beautified, and people will enjoy high standards of living. The
land will be fertile and water plentiful, and there will be such wealth and
plenty that no one will lack for anything. But people will also make great
efforts, attaching greater importance to the spiritual than the material in
order that they may draw closer to Allah. When religious moral values rule,
disputes will come to an end. Populations will live in peace and security and
the world will be filled with the knowledge of Allah.
The Yamot HaMashiach (the Days of
Messiah)—an expression that Jews use to describe the time of the reign of
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)—exhibits a very close agreement with the hadith of the
Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) that describe it as
"the Golden Age." Here are some of these references to be found in
Judaic scriptures:

(Jeremiah, 31:33-34)
