How accurate is it to link the appearance of the red heifer in Israel to the second coming of the Messiah, and what is the story of this heifer?
The People of the Book distorted the divine laws. Among their fabrications are the battle of Armageddon and the red heifer, as they believe that the ashes of the red heifer purify the Temple Mount. We should not preoccupy ourselves with the details of these distorted beliefs, for our battle with the Jews is inevitable, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The Hour will not be established until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them until the Jew hides behind a rock or a tree, and the rock or tree will say: 'O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, so come and kill him.' Except for the Gharqad tree, for it is one of the trees of the Jews."
