The lands of "Shām" and "Bāb-e Ludd" are among the places that have a special position and influence on the developments of the End of Time and the advent of the last divine proof, Imam Mahdi.  In religious texts, the role and position of these two places are mentioned numerously in the events of the appearance era, and many traditions have been mentioned in this regard. These two places are among the historical and ancient places of the world, and they are very important due to their historical and cultural position and sensitive and strategic location, for this reason, they have been a place of conflict between different powers and countries throughout history, and many countries have been seeking to conquer and dominate these regions. Perhaps the thing that differentiates these two cities from other influential cities in the emergence of the event is the occurrence of seditions and many conflicts at the threshold and after the Appearance in these two regions, which are interpreted by the word "al-Fiṭan" (seditions).According to the Hadiths, the city of Ludd is the place where Jesus will descend and the Dajjāl be killed; also the city of Sham is the place of the apocalyptic wars and severe conflicts and the Sufyani rebellion and important events after this rebellion. This article introduces these two important and influential cities with a descriptive-analytical method while examining the importance and status of these two cities, it also describes the apocalyptic events related to these two places, according to the relevant Hadiths.

A significant number of Mahdism hadiths in Shiite sources are about the events which will occur before the advent of Hazrat Mahdi (AS). Some of these narrations are about the flags and figures in pre-advent period, one of whom is Khorasani. It is said that Khorasani will rise up in the Orient carrying black flags. The data were gathered though library research. The documents of the hadiths about Khorasani from Shiite sources were examined and their contents were analyzed. The analysis showed that there are only four hadiths about Khorasani, among which only that of Bakr Ibn Muhammad Al-Azdi is considered valid; however, this hadith also does not mention any details about Khorasani uprise and its characteristics. Regardless of their weak documents, the other three narrations do not focus on different aspects of Khorasani uprise, its characteristics and the black flags. By using these narrations, the ambiguities about Khorasani cannot be removed by applying them to specific individuals.
