In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful
O Allah, send prayers and salutations on Muhammad, his family, and his Companions. My info here is deprived from “the Book of The End” : Great Trials and Tribulations. It deals with what the Prophet PBUH informed us about regarding the signs of the Hour and the great events that are to take place before the Day of Judgment, all of which we must have faith in, because the Prophet s spoke not from desire, but from revelation.
Kings who would take Positions Of Authority Over The Muslims, and That will Lead To Evil And Corruption .
Abu Hurairah related that the Messenger of Allah A said, “The Prophets will be followed by the Khaleefahs, who will apply Allah’s Book and who will be just with Allah’s slaves. The Khaleefahs will be followed by kings, who will take their revenge, kill men, and choose wealth (for themselves). (At that time) one can change (evil) with his hand, with his tongue, and with his heart; and there is no Eemaan / belief beyond that.”
Abdullah ibn Mas’ood related that the Messenger of Allah PBUH said, “There was no Prophet who did not have companions who were his supporters – who were guided by his guidance and who followed his way (Sunnah). After them come ensuing generations, who say that which they do not do and who do that which they forbid.” (Muslim)
A Fire In The Land Of Hijaaz Which Will Illuminate Camels in Busrah, in the Land of Sham
Abu Hurairah 4 related that the Messenger of Allah * said, “The Hour will not arrive until there appears a fire from the land of Hijaaz that will illuminate the necks of camels in Busra (Busra is in the land of Sham: Syria and surrounding regions).”
on Friday, the 5th of Jumaadah Al-Aakhirah, 654 H, there appeared a fire in lands near Madeenah An-Nabawiyyah ” In Saudi Arabia” , in some of its surrounding valleys. It extended for four leagues lengthwise and four miles widthwise. Rocks would pour out until they remained like lead or molten tin, and then they became like black coals. By dint of the fire’s light, people were able to travel to Teemaa. The fire remained ablaze for an entire month. The inhabitants of Madeenah related this incident and some among them composed verses of poetry about it. the night of the fire, in Busrah , the people there saw the necks of camels from the light of that fire, which was ablaze in the land of Hijaaz.
The Keys To The Unseen Are Five: None Knows Them Save Allah
sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things).”
THE TRIALS IN GENERAL
Islam Will Return Strange And New As It Had Begun
‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood reported that the Messenger of Allah PBUH said, “Indeed Islam began new and strange and it shall return as it began – new and strange. So glad tidings to the strangers.”
It was asked, “And who are the strangers?” H se,aid, “Those who
are far away from the tribes.”
Division Within The Nations
that the Messenger of Allah said, “The Jews divided into 71 sects: one is in Paradise and 70 are in the Hellfire. The Christians divided into 72 sects: one is in Paradise and 71 are in the Hellfire. And by the One Who has my soul in His Hand, this nation of mine will be divided into 73 sects: one is in
Paradise and 72 are in the Hellfire.” It was asked, “0 Messenger of Allah, who do you see they (i.e., the members of the saved group) are?” He said, “Al-Jamaa’ah (those who are upon the way of the Prophet PBUH and his Companions).”
Knowledge Will Be Taken Away At The End Of Time
(( the Messenger of Allah PBUH said, “Just before the Hour there will be days when knowledge will be raised, when ignorance will descend, and when there will be much killing.”))
- (( the Messenger of Allah PBUH* said, “Verily, Allah does not seize knowledge by force, taking it forcefully from the people; instead, Het takes away knowledge by the death of the scholars, until their remains no scholar. The people will take ignorant leaders, who will be asked, and who will rule without knowledge. They are misguided and they will misguide others.”))
-
(( the Messenger of Allah PBUH said, “Islam will perish (i.e., knowledge will perish and its traces will be effaced) like the embroideries of a garment perish, until (the time) when fasting, prayer, worship, and charity will not be known; when in one night forgetfulness will pass over the Book (the Qur’an) and not a single Verse from it will remain on the earth. A group of people will remain — the aged man and woman — who will say, ‘We were around when our father was upon this word: Laailaha illallaah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), but they will not know what is prayer, fasting, worship, or charity.” ))
Ignorance ,Alcohol, fornication,number of women in progress
The Messenger of Allah PBUH said ” from the signs of the Hour is the raising (or taking) of knowledge; ignorance will spread, fornication will become rampant, alcohol will be imbibed, men will perish, and women will remain, until there remains one male guardian for every 50 women ”
the Messenger of Allah said, “Islam will perish (i.e., knowledge will perish and its traces
will be effaced) like the embroideries of a garment perish, until (the time) when fasting, prayer, worship, and charity will not be known; when in one night forgetfulness will pass over the Book (the Qur’an) and not a single Verse from it will remain on the earth. A group of people will remain — the aged man and woman — who will say, ‘We were around when our father was upon this word: Laailahaillallaah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), but they will not know what is prayer, fasting, worship, or charity.” asked Hudhaifah , “What will ‘Laailaha illallaah’ benefit them when they do not know what is prayer, worship, and charity?” Hudhaifah turned away from him, but he repeated the question three times, and all the while Hudhaifah turned away from him. When Silah asked for the third time, Hudhaifah 4 approached him and said, “0 Silah, it will save them from the Hellfire.” And he repeated that statement three times.
What is important to note here is that knowledge will be raised at the end of time and ignorance will become rampant. In the aforesaid Hadeeth we are told that ignorance will descend, which means that people will be inspired by it, and that is from forsakenness, which we seek refuge from Allah t. The said state of affairs will continue as people increase in ignorance and misguidance, until life on this world ends. This we are informed of in the Hadeeth of the Prophet at, “The Hour will not arrive upon anyone who says, ‘Allah, Allah,’ and it will not arrive except upon the most evil of people.”
EVILS THAT WILL OCCUR AT THE END OF TIMES, OF WHICH SOME ARE TAKING PLACE IN OUR AGE
The Prophet Spoke Of Evils That Were To Occur After His Time
‘Ataa ibn Abee Rabaah related that ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar 4 said, “The Messenger of Allah A came to us and said, “0 group of Muhaajireen, five practices — if you are afflicted with them…and I seek refuge in Allah from you reaching them: (1) evil does not spread throughout a people to the extent that they proclaim it openly except that plague and hunger will spread among them, to such a degree that was previously unknown by their predecessors; (2) people will not reduce in measurement (i.e., by cheating with scales when buying and selling) except that they will be overtaken by drought in the lands, by burdensome obligations, and by the oppression of the ruler upon them; (3) they will not refuse to pay Zakaat on their wealth except that they will be prevented rain from the sky, and were it not for livestock, they would not receive rain (altogether); (4) they will not break Allah’s covenant and the covenant of His Messenger * except that their external enemies will be given reign to subjugate them, enemies that will take something from what is in their hands; (5) and as long as their Imams do not rule by Allah’s Book and they mock what Allah revealed, Allah * will make their strength to be used among themselves — against one another.”
The Prophet * said, ‘That is when the Imams (rulers) will oppress, when people will believe in the stars (astrology) and disbelieve in Qadr (Divine Preordainment); (a time when) people will take for themselves things that were left as trusts with them, considering those things to be spoils; charity will be considered as a burden or tax and wicked deeds will increase — at that time, your people will be destroyed.’ ”
Abu Hurairah 4 related that the Messenger of Allah * said, “When spoils and trusts are taken as booty; when Zakaat is considered to be a burden (or tax); when knowledge is learned, but not for the religion; when a man obeys his wife but disobeys his mother, brings close his friend while keeping his father at a distance; when voices are raised in the mosques; when the tribe is led by the most wicked one among them; when the leader of a people is the most base individual among them; when a man is honored because his evil is feared; when female singers and musical instruments spread; when alcohol is imbibed; and when the last of this nation curses the first of it — at that point, wait for a red wind, for the sinking of the earth, for Qadhr (two opinions: flying of stones with severe winds or the earth expelling the corpse of the deceased after its burial), and for signs that will follow in sequence like the beads of an old necklace after its string is cut — and they fall in sequence.”
the Messenger of Allah a said, “…When my nation walks in an arrogant and haughty manner…Allah will give reign to its evil ones over its good ones.”
DIFFERENT TRIALS THAT HAVE OCCURRED AND THAT WILL INCREASE IN INTENSITY AT THE END OF TIMES
If there are many wrongdoers, all will be destroyed,even if there are righteous people among them
“The Prophet *, once woke up from his sleep with a crimson complexion as he was saying, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe for the Arabs from an evil that has drawn near. An opening has been made today from the barrier of Yajooj and Majooj, the size of this.’ And he made a circle with his thumb and index finger (to show the size of the gap that was opened). It was said, ‘Will we be destroyed while the righteous are among us?’ He * said, ‘Yes, if Al- Khabath (wickedness, sins, and hypocrisy) increase.”
Trials That Will Occur Among Muslims
Urwah related that Usaamah ibn Zaid 4 said, “The Prophet * overlooked a high structure from the structures of Madeenah, and he, said, ‘Do you see what I see?’ They said, ‘No.’ He A said, “For indeed I see the trial falling in your homes like the falling of the rain.”
Trials That Will Occur Among Muslims
It has been related that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH said: “Time will converge ; knowledge will decrease; miserliness and avarice will remain; trials will appear; and Al-Haraj will increase.” The Companions asked, “0 Messenger of Allah, and what is it?” He* said, “Killing, killing.”
Every Era That Comes Is Better Than The One That Follows It
for no era comes upon a people except that the one that follows it is even worse, (and this will continue) until you meet your Lord
Trials Will Increase Until The Living Will Envy The Dead
Abu Hurairah a reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah A say, “The Hour will not arrive until a man passes by the grave of another man and says, ‘ Would that I were in his place.”‘
Trials That Muslims Should Try To Stay Far Away From
Abu Hurairah 4 related that the Messenger of Allah *, said, “There will be trials — the one who sits during them is better than the one who stands; the one who stands during them is better than the one who walks; the one who walks during them is better than the one who goes forth, facing them and taking them on. During those trials, whoever finds a refuge or a sanctuary to protect him, then let him return to it.” (Bukhaaree and Muslim)
The Raising Of Trustworthiness From The Hearts
The prophet Muhammad PBUH said, ‘While a man is sleeping, trustworthiness will be taken from his heart, yet a trace of it, the size of a small spot will remain. Then he will sleep again, and it will
be taken, but its trace remains as a scar…People will begin to buy and sell with one another, and hardly anyone will fulfill the trust. It will be said that among the children of so and so is a trustworthy man. And it will be said to a man, ‘How wise he is, how charming he is, and how hardy he is,’ but he will not have a mustard-seed amount of Eemaan in his heart. There was a time when I didn’t mind whom it was from you that I traded with: if he was Muslim, then his Islam (his religion and trustworthiness) would prevent him from treachery; and if we was a Christian or a Jew, then the one in authority over him would prevent him (from wronging me). As for today, I would not trade except with so-and-so and with so-and-so.”
The Prophet n*, Informed Us That The Trial Will Appear From The East
Ibn ‘Umar a related that that the Messenger of Allah stood beside the pulpit, facing the East, and he 0, said, “Lo! Indeed the trial is here, from where the horn of the Devil rises,” or he said, “the horn of the sun (i.e., from the East, the horn being the first part of the sun visible as it rises).
Huge Quantity Of Wealth That Will Be Revealed In Arab Lands, And The Discord And Death That Will Result
Abu Hurairah a related that the Messenger of Allah A said, “The time draws near when the Furaat will reveal a treasure of gold;whoever is present should not take anything from it.”
Abu Hurairah a related that the Messenger of Allah A said, “The Hour will not come until the Furaat lays bare a mountain of gold; people will fight over it, and from every 100 (people), 99 will be killed. Every man among them will say, ‘ perhaps I will be the one who will be saved.”
The Hour Will Arrive At A Time When People Will Be Heedless Of It
Abu Hurairah a related that the Messenger of Allah A said, “The Hour will not come to pass until two huge groups, each having the same claim, fight, and between them there will be a great amount of killing; until lying Dajjaals are sent, almost 30 of them, and each one of them will claim that he is the Messenger of Allah; until knowledge is taken, earthquakes increase in frequency, time convergesill , trials appear (or become widespread), and killing increases in frequency; until there will be much wealth among you, to the degree that the owner of wealth will be distressed to find one who accepts his charity or one to whom he can offer his wealth, and the one to whom he offers his wealth says, ‘ I have no need.’; until people vie with one another in constructing tall buildings; until a man passes by the grave of another man and says, ‘ Would that I were in his place’; until the sun rises from the West, and when it does rise (from the West) and people see it, they will all believe, except that that is when ‘no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by performing deeds of righteousness) through his faith.’ And just as the Hour arrives, two men spread a garment between them, yet they will neither trade nor fold it. And the Hour will indeed arrive as a man leaves with the milk of his camel, yet he will not taste it. And the Hour will indeed arrive as one is plastering his basin, but he will not drink from it. And the hour will indeed arrive as one raises his food to his mouth, but he will not eat it.”
Abu Hurairah 4 related that the Messenger of Allah Jt% said, “Iraq will be prevented from its dirham (a currency) and its measurement; Sham will be prevented from its dinar (a currency) and its measurement; and Egypt will be prevented from its dinar and its measurement’ . You will have returned from whence you began; you will return from whence you began; you will return from
whence you began.” Abu Hurairah 4 said, “The flesh and blood of Abu Hurairah bore witness to that
*** this is referring to when the Romans will conquer these countries at the end of times and prevent Muslims from their wealth.
Abu Nusrah said, “We were with Jaabir 4, and he said, ‘It is almost time when neither dinar nor Madyee (the measurement in Iraq) will come to the people of the Iraq.’ We said, ‘From where will that happen?’ He said, ‘From Rome, who will prevent that (from them).’He was quiet for a short while and then said, ‘The Messenger of Allah ;* said: In the last of my nation there will be a Khaleefah who will throw handfuls of money (for charity) without counting or keeping account
People Will Leave The Religion In Throngs
the Messenger of Allah say: Indeed people entered into Allah’s religion in throngs and they will leave it in throngs.
DESTRUCTIVE TRIALS
Trials That Will Make The One Who Adheres To His Religion Like One Who Is Grasping Embers
Abu Hurairah related that the Messenger of Allah *, said, “Woe to the Arabs from an evil that is indeed near – trials like pieces of the dark, black night. In the morning, a man will be a believer, but in the night, he will be a disbeliever. People will sell their religion for a paltry, worldly sum. At that time, one who is adhering to his religion will be like one who is grasping on embers,” or he said, “on thorns.”
News From The Prophet.”, Of The Nations Gathering Against The Muslims, Seeking To Weaken Them, Even Though The Muslims Will Be Large In Numbers
Abu Hurairah said that he heard the Messenger of Allah *, say to Thaubaan 4, “How will you be when the nations will call each other upon you as those who are dining call each other to their
dish?” Thaubaan asked, “…0 Messenger of Allah, will that be because we will be few (in number)?” He e; said, “No, rather at that time you will be many, yet AI-Wahn will be cast into your hearts.”
“And what is AI-Wahn, 0 Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet’S`,” said, “Your love for the world and your hate for fighting
Destructive Fitnah Will Occur And Safety From It Achieved By Staying Far Away From It And From Ways That Lead To It
‘Amr ibn Waabisah Al-Asdee related that his father said, “As I was within my home in Kufa, I heard ‘Assalaamu ‘Alaikum’ at the door. And I said, ‘Alaikum As-Salaam’ The visitor entered and when he
came in, (I saw that) it was ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood I said, ‘0 Abu ‘Abdur-Rahmaan, what time is this to visit?’ The time was high noon. He said, ‘The day is long for me and I remembered one to whom I can speak.’ He began to relate to me from the Messenger of Allah a saying, “There will be a trial wherein the one who is sleeping during it is better than the one who is lying down; and the one who is lying down during it is better than the one who is seated; the one who is seated during it is better than the one who is standing; the one who is standing during it is better than the one is
walking; the one who is walking is better than the one who is riding; the one who is riding is better than the one who is going forth quickly (seeking it out). All of those killed during it are in the Hellfire.” ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood 4, asked, “0 Messenger of Allah, and when is that?” He said, “The days of much killing, when a man will not be safe from the companion he sits with.” He 4 said, “And what do you order me to do if I reach that (time)?” The Prophet said, “Restrain yourself and your hand and enter your home.” “0 Messenger of Allah, and suppose a man enters upon me in my home?” The Prophet f said, “Then lock your house.” ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood 4} asked, “Suppose he enters (forcefully) upon my house?” The Prophet kt said, “Then enter your Masjid and do like this,” and he then closed his right (hand) on his wrist, “and say, ‘ My Lord is Allah’ until you die upon that.”
The Messenger Of Allah e Advised That One Should Bear Hardships During Tribulations And That One Should Keep Away From Participating In Evil
Abu Moosa Al-Asharee 4 related that the Messenger of Allah said, “”IInnddeeeedd just before the Hour are trials, like parts of the dark, black night. In the morning, one is a believer, and in the night, a disbeliever. And in the night, one is a believer, and in the morning, a disbeliever. The one who is sitting is better than the one who is standing; the one who is walking is better than the one who is seeking them out. Then break your bows, cut your bowstrings, and strike your swords with rocks. And if one is entered upon – i.e. upon one of you – then let him be like the better of Adam’s two sons.”
‘Abdullah ibn As-Saamit related from Abu Dharr .4, who said, “The Messenger of Allah A climbed (his mount) and made me sit behind him. He A, said, ‘0 Aba Dharr, suppose the people are afflicted with extreme hunger, to the degree that you are not able to get up from your bed to go to your Masjid — what will you do?’ I said, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He A, said, ‘ Be patient. 0 Aba Dharr, suppose that the people are afflicted with extreme death – what will you do?’ I said, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He at said, ‘ Be patient. 0 Aba Dharr, suppose that people fight among themselves until the stones of a house are drowned in blood – what will you do?’ I said, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He A said, ‘ Sit in your house and lock yourself inside your door.’ I said, ‘And what if I am not left alone, should I take my weapons?’ He A said, ‘Then participate with them in that which they are in, but if you fear that you will be excited or drawn by the beam of your sword, then throw the edge of your robe over your face so that he (i.e. your attacker) will draw on himself his sin and your sin.’
Messenger of Allah *, he mentioned the trial or it was mentioned in his company. He * said, ‘And you will see the covenants of people become corrupted and their trusts decline (i.e. people are no longer trustworthy), and they will be like this,’ and he intertwined his fingers. I stood up, went to him, and said, ‘ What should I do at that time, may Allah make me your sacrifice?’ He * said, ‘ Adhere to your house, control (or take hold of) your tongue, take what you know to be good,
and leave what you repudiate. Upon you is the affair of your own self, and leave off the affairs of the general public
Tribulations Have A Harmful Effect On One’s Character, Whereby A Man Will Not Even Be Safe From The Companion He Sits With
‘Amr ibn Waabisah Al-Asdee related that his father said, “As I was within my home in Kufa, I heard ‘Assalaamu ‘Alaikum’ at the door. And I said, ‘Alaikum As-Salaam’ The visitor entered and when he
came in, (I saw that) it was ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood I said, ‘0 Abu ‘Abdur-Rahmaan, what time is this to visit?’ The time was high noon. He said, ‘The day is long for me and I remembered one to whom I can speak.’ He began to relate to me from the Messenger of Allah a saying, “There will be a trial wherein the one who is sleeping during it is better than the one who is lying down; and the one who is lying down during it is better than the one who is seated; the one who is seated during it is better than the one who is standing; the one who is standing during it is better than the one is
walking; the one who is walking is better than the one who is riding; the one who is riding is better than the one who is going forth quickly (seeking it out). All of those killed during it are in the Hellfire.” ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood 4, asked, “0 Messenger of Allah, and when is that?” He said, “The days of much killing, when a man will not be safe from the companion he sits with.” He 4 said, “And what do you order me to do if I reach that (time)?” The Prophet said, “Restrain yourself and your hand and enter your home.” “0 Messenger of Allah, and suppose a man enters upon me
in my home?” The Prophet f said, “Then lock your house.” ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood 4} asked,”Suppose he enters (forcefully) upon my house?” The Prophet kt said, “Then enter your Masjid and do like this,” and he then closed his right (hand) on his wrist, “and say, ‘ My Lord is Allah’ until you die upon that.”
- ‘Amr ibn Waabisah related from his father from Ibn Mas’ood who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah at say (and he mentioned part of Abu Bakrah’s Hadeeth), “All of those killed in it (i.e. during
the tribulations) are in the Hellfire.” Waabisah asked, “And when is that, 0 Ibn Mas’ood?” He said, “Those are the days of much killing, when a man will not be safe from the companion he sits with.” Waabisah said, “And what do you order me to do if I reach that time?” He 4 said, “Restrain your tongue and your hand, and be a fixture from the fixtures of your house.” Waabisah said, “And when ‘Uthmaan was killed, my heart flared up in agitation. And so I rode until I reached Damascus, where I met Hadhyam ibn Faatik Al- Asdee. And he swore by Allah — none has the right to be
worshipped but He PBUH — that he heard it from the Messenger of Allah
A Trial In Which The Impact Of The Tongue Is More Harsh Than The Impact Of The Sword
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr 4 related that the Messenger of Allah * said, ” Indeed there will be a trial and it will afflict the Arabs. Those killed in it are in the Hellfire. The effect of the tongue during it is more severe than the effect of the sword.”
Muslims Will Return To Idol-Worship
Thaubaan related that the Messenger of Allah A said, “Indeed Allah gathered and folded the earth for me, and I saw the East of it and the West of it. And the Dominion of my nation will reach that which was folded from it [11 . And I have been given the two treasures — the red (gold) and the white (silver). And I asked my Lord to not have my nation destroyed by a pervasive drought and to not give an enemy, from other than their own selves, reign over them by (allowing them) to uproot their Baidah (their society and their core place of rule)?Z’ . And indeed my Lord ‘Azza wa Jail (to Him belongs Might and Majesty) said, ‘0 Muhammad, indeed if I decree a matter, then it is not returned (or prevented). And I have granted you for your nation that I will not destroy them by a pervasive drought and I will not give reign to an enemy, from other than their own selves, over them, (and they will not) uproot their Baidah; (and this) even if those from all areas gather over them (i.e. over the Muslims), so that some of them will destroy one another and imprison one another (i.e. though the two said requests are granted, Muslims will be afflicted by internecine struggles).’ Indeed all that I fear over my nation are misguiding Imams. If the sword is placed in
my nation, it will not be raised from them until the Day of Resurrection. And the Hour will not arrive until tribes from my nation betake themselves to the Mushrikeen and until tribes from my nation worship idols. And there will be in my nation 30 liars, each one of them claiming that he is a Prophet, but I am the seal of the Prophets; there is no Prophet after me. And a group from my
nation will remain victorious upon the truth; those who oppose them will not harm them until the matter of Allah ‘Azza wa Jal (To Him belongs Might and Majesty) arrives (near the Hour the souls of all believers will be taken).” (Ahmad) Through other chains, Muslim, Abu Daawood, Ibn Maajah, and At-Tirmidhee related it as well. And At-Tirmidhee said about it,
‘Abdullah ibn 4 related that he heard the Messenger of Allah PBUH , say, “When you see that my nation dreads saying to the oppressor, ‘Indeed you are an oppressor,’ then they have taken their
leave (i.e. their existence and non-existence amounts to the same thing).
Signs Indicating The Proximity Of The Hour ,Conquering of Jerusalem,Syria,children of yellow ones
‘Aouf Ibn Maalik Al-Ashja’ee 4 said, “I went to the Prophet and gave him greetings of peace. Hem, said, ‘Aouf?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Enter.’ I asked, ‘All of me or a part of me?’ He said, ‘All of you. 0 ‘Aouf, enumerate six that will occur in close proximity to the Hour. the first of them is my death.’ I cried until the Messenger of Allah silenced me. He said, ‘Say: one.’ I said, ‘One.’ He said, ‘The second is the conquering of Jerusalem. Say: two.’ I said, ‘Two.’ He A said, ‘The third is death that will occur in my nation, it will take them like the shearing of (wool on) sheep. Say: three. The fourth is a trial that will take place in my nation – it is the greatest of them. The fifth is the abundant flowing of wealth among you, until a man is given 100 dinars but is still dissatisfied with it. Say: five. The sixth is a truce between you and the children of the yellow ones (referring to Rome); they will advance toward you with 80 Ghaayah.’ I said, ‘And what is AI-Ghaayah?’ He A said, ‘A flag, and under each flag there are 12 000. And the Fustaat (could mean city here) of the Muslims at that time will be in a land called Ghootah, in a city called Damascus.”
‘Aouf ibn Maalik s said, “I went to the Messenger of Allah while he was engaged in the battle of Tabook; he was in a dome made of Udam (skin or leather). He said, ‘Enumerate six signs which will
occur in close proximity to the Hour – 1) my death; 2) the conquering of Constantinople; 3) death that will take you like the barber of sheep (takes hair from them); 4) an abundant flow of
wealth until a man receives 100 dinar yet still remains dissatisfied; 5) a trial that will not leave a single house from the Arabs except that it enters it; 6) then there will be a truce between you and the children of the yellow ones “(referring to Rome). They will advance and come to you under 80 flags; under each flag there will be 12,000.” (Bukhaaree) Abu Daawood, Ibn Maajah, and At-Tabaraanee related it from the Hadeeth of Al-Waleed.
Mu’aadh ibn Jabal e related that the Messenger of Allah said, “Six are from the signs of the Hour: 1) my death; 2) the conquering of Jerusalem; 3) death that will take people like the shearing (of wool
from) sheep; 4) a trial and that which surrounds it will enter the house of every Muslim; 5) a man will be given 1000 dinars (in charity) but will remain dissatisfied; 6) Rome will betray, advancing with 80 banners — underneath each banner, 12000.”
Ten Signs Before The Coming Of The Hour
Huthafah ibn Asad said, “The Prophet, came over us as we were studying among ourselves (knowledge pertaining to) the Hour. He said, ‘What are you discussing?’ We said, ‘We are mentioning (affairs pertaining to) the Pour.’ He g said, ‘Indeed it will not come until you see ten signs: The smoket il , the Dajjaal, the beast, the rising of the sun from the West, the descending of ‘Eesa ibn Maryam, Yajooj and Majooj, three Khusoof (plural of Khasf, the swallowing of the earth and all that is on it) — the Khasf of the East, the Khasf of the West, and the Khasf of the Arabian Peninsula — and the last of them is a fire that will emerge from the East and that will steer people to their place of gathering
The Fire That Will Come Out From The Floor (Or Depth) Of ‘Adan
The following is related from Ibn Shuraihah Al-Ghaffaaree: “And a fire that will come out from the floor of ‘Adan (a famous city in Yemen); it will steer or gather the people; it will spend the night
with them wherever they spend the night, and it will be with them in the day wherever they take their day-nap.
The Fierce battle That Will Take Place With The Romans, Which Will End With The Conquering Of Constantinople
At that point the Maseeh Ad-Dajjaal will come out and ‘Eesa ibn Maryam will descend from the sky of this world to the earth, to a white minaret in Eastern Damascus, at the time of Fajr. We will further explain this with authentic narrations.
It was related that the prophet Muhammad PBUH said “You will make a truce of peace with Rome; you and they will conquer an enemy from behind them. You will be safe and you will achieve spoils. Then you will descend in a fertile soil that has many mounds in it. A man from the Romans will stand, raise the cross, and say, ‘victory is for the cross.’ A man from the Muslims will rise and kill him. At that point, the Romans will betray their agreement and there will be massacres. They will gather for you, advancing toward you with 80 banners, and with each banner there will be 10,000.””At that point, Rome will betray (the pact) and they will gather (for) the massacre.”
Aseer ibn Jaabir said, “A red wind was blowing in Kufah, and a man came, repeating the same words over and over: ‘0 ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood, the Hour has come.’ At the time, ‘Abdullah was
leaning (on something); he then sat down and said, ‘The Hour will not come until the inheritance is not distributed and until there is no joy over spoils of war.’ ‘Abdullah 4 then pointed with his hand toward Ash-Sham (Syria and surrounding areas). He continued, ‘An enemy gathering (their forces) for the people of Islam, and the people of Islam gathering (their forces) for them.’ I asked, ‘Are you referring to Rome?’ He 4 said, ‘Yes. And at that point there will be fighting and a great retreat. The Muslims will send forth a portion of their army to die – they should not return except as victors. The battle will continue until the night acts as a barrier between them; each party will remain non-victorious, and the advance party perishes. Then the Muslims will send forth (another) portion of their army to die – they should not return except as victors. The fighting will go on, with both armies remaining non-victorious, and with the advance group perishing. Then the Muslims will send forth (yet another) portion of their army to die – they should not return except as victors. The fighting will go on until the night acts as a barrier between them. Both armies will return non-victorious, and this (last) advance group perishes. On the fourth day, the rest of Islam’s adherents will go to face them, and Allah will make them become stricken by misfortunes. The killing will be such as,’ he either said, ‘we know not the likes of,’ or he said, ‘nothing similar to it will have been seen, to the extent that a bird will pass by their sides and will not pass by them until it falls down dead. The children of a father (i.e. relatives or members of the same tribe) who were 100 will find that only a single man from them remains. Over which spoils of war should one rejoice (in such a situation)? And which estate should be divided? As they are in that situation, they will hear of something that is even greater than that. A frightened caller will come to them, announcing that the Dajjaal stayed behind among their women and children. They (the army) will refuse what is in their hands and they will go forth. They will send 10 riders in advance. The Messenger of Allah e; said: I indeed know their names, the names of their fathers, and the colors of their horses; at that time, they will be the best riders on the face of the earth.”
The Hour Will Not Arrive Until The Maseeh (‘Eesa Ibn Maryam) at Kills The Dajjaal -The Curse Of Allah Upon Him — Nor Until Good And Its Light Overcomes Falsehood And Its Darkness
Abu Hurairah 4 related that the Messenger of Allah A said, “The Hour will not come until the Romans descend in Al-‘Aamaaq or Badaabiq (Two areas in the lands of Syria, near Haleb). An army from Madeenah, comprising of the best from the people of the earth at that time, will come out to meet them. When they make their lines, the Romans will say, ‘Make way, allowing us to fight those who took our women and children as prisoners (during war).’ The Muslims will say, ‘By Allah, we will not make way for you to go to our brothers.’ They will fight them. One-third (of the Muslims) will Inhazim (this literally means, ‘become vanquished,’ but perhaps here it means that they will flee), and Allah will never forgive them. Onethird will be killed, and they are the best of martyrs with Allah 4g. One-third will conquer and they will never be put to trial; and they will conquer Constantinople. While they are distributing the spoils of war and while their swords are hanging on olive trees, the Devil will call to them, saying, ‘the Maseeh (Dajjaal) is behind among your families.’ They will leave, but that (statement) is false. When they go to Ash-Sham (Syria and surrounding areas), he (the Dajjaal) will come out. As the Muslims are preparing to fight, they straighten their lines, and then the call for the prayer is made. Next, ‘Eesa Ibn Maryam WZ will descend and lead them in their prayer. When the enemy of Allah (i.e. the Dajjaal) sees him, he will melt, like salt dissolves in water. Were ‘Eesa %f\ to leave him, he would continue to melt until he became destroyed. But Allah 25g kills him at the hands of ‘Eesa ill, who shows them the Dajjaal’s blood on his spear.”
nations is like the time between the ‘Asr prayer and the setting of the sun. The People of the torah were given the Torah, and they applied it until the middle of the day, and then they became incapable. They were given a Qeeraat (a measurement, indicating a great reward).Then the people of the Injeel (Bible) were given the Injeel, and they applied it until the ‘Asr Prayer; they were given Qeeraat Qeeraat.Then you were given the Qur’an, and you applied it until the setting of the sun, and you were given two Qeeraats, two Qeeraats. The People of the Torah and the Inject said, ‘Our Lord, these are less in work, but greater in reward .
-The Messenger of Allah PBUH said “Indeed the old man will say, ‘We were around when people in the past would say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ Then the matter will intensify, and the situation will worsen, until Allah’s mention will no longer be made on earth: it will be entirely forgotten, and it will not be known on earth. Those (who are around at that time) are the worst of people, and upon them the Hour will arrive.” And in another narration, the Prophet * said, “The Hour will not arrive except upon the most wicked of people.” This is expressed slightly differently in the following narration: “The most evil of people are those who will be alive when the Hour overtakes them.”
-The Messenger of Allah PBUH said, ‘The Hour will not come except upon the most evil of people.”‘
-This is indicated by the saying of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH “Until it is no longer said on earth, ‘Allah, Allah.'”
-Allah will not be mentioned on earth, nor will His Name be known on it. And that is during an era which will be most corrupt — when human beings will become bereft of the human aspect in them, a time when there will be widespread disbelief, wickedness, and disobedience of Allah .
how will it be lost?” He PBUH said, “When the affair will be entrusted to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour.”In another narrations He PBUH said “”Before the Hour are days of much killing, days in which knowledge will be disappear, and in which ignorance will be widespread.””The Hour will not arrive until, when a man leaves his family, his shoestring, his whip, or his stick inform him of what his family did after him.””By the One Who has my soul in His Hand, the Hour will not arrive until predatory animals speak to human beings and until the side of a man’s whip, and his shoestring speak to him; and his thigh will inform him of what his family did after him””The Hour will not arrive until knowledge is raised, ignorance is widespread, men are few, women are many, and until for every 50 women, there will be a single man who will be their guardian.”
The people will take ignorant leaders
The Messenger of Allah PBUH said, “Verily, Allah does not seize knowledge by force, taking it
forcefully from the people; instead, He takes away knowledge by the death of the scholars, until their remains no scholar. The people will take ignorant leaders, who will be asked, and who will rule
without knowledge. They are misguided and they will misguide others.
“In another narration ”
The Messenger of Allah PBUH led us in the morning prayer, and when he completed his prayer, a man called out to him, saying, ‘When is the Hour?’ The Messenger of Allah * reproached and scolded the man, and he * said, ‘Be quiet.’ When the light of the morning appeared, the Prophet * turned his gaze to the sky and said, ‘Exalted is He Who raised it and planned it.’ He then turned his gaze to the ground and said, ‘Exalted is He Who spread it out, and created it.’ He then said, ‘Where is the questioner about the Hour?’
The man rested on his knees and said, ‘I…asked you.’ The Prophet PBUH said, ‘That is when the
Imams (rulers) will oppress, when people will believe in the stars (astrology) and disbelieve in Qadr (Divine Preordainment); (a time when) people will take for themselves things that were left as trusts with them, considering those things to be spoils; charity will be considered as a burden or tax and wicked deeds will increase — at that time, your people will be destroyed.’ ”
The Base And Ignoble Person Has A Say In Matters / homosexual /minds will disappear
Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah PBUH said, “Before the Hour are treacherous years; in them, the truthful person will be disbelieved, and the liar will be believed; the trustworthy one will be distrusted, and the treacherous one will be trusted. And the base, ignoble one will speak in that time (i.e., he has a voice that is heard by the people).”
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet PBUH said, “Indeed, from the signs of the Hour are that the shepherds of sheep will be the heads of people (i.e., they will have status and power); the
barefooted, naked, and hungry ones will vie with one another in construction; and the female slave will give birth to her master.”
Abu Hurairah related that the Prophet * said, “By the One Who has sent me with the Truth, this world will not come to an end until they are afflicted with Al-Khasf (the swallowing of the earth with those who are on it), Al-Qadhf (strong winds that cause rocks to fly), and Al-Maskh (transformation of humans into apes and pigs).” The Companions asked, “And when is that, 0 Messenger of Allah?” He PBUH said, “When you see women riding private parts, when there will be many female singers, when there will be much false testimony, when men will suffice themselves with men, and when women will suffice themselves with women.”
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah PBUH said, “Indeed from the signs of the Hour is that minds will disappear (i.e. people will rule according to their desires) and Al- Ahlaam (those who do things in a deliberate and thought-out manner; the sagacious ones) will decrease in number.
The Prophet 0, Intimated To Us That Time Will Be Stripped Of Its Blessings Before The Arrival Of The Hour , Ignorant leaders
Abu Hurairah related that the Messenger of Allah a said, “The Hour will not arrive until time convergesM , and so one year will be like a month, a week will be like a day, and a day will be like an hour. And the Hour will be like the burning of palm leaves.”
Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah PBUH said, “The world will not depart until there will be Lakai ibn Lakai’ (ignoble one son of an ignoble one).”
Positions Are Given To Those Who Do Not Deserve Them?
It was related that the messenger of Allah PBUH said “”The Hour will not arrive until every tribe is led by its most ignoble members.”
in another narration ” When the affair will be entrusted to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour.”
“When the affair is trusted to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour.”
“Before the Hour are days of much killing, days in which knowledge will be disappear, and in which ignorance will be widespread.”
‘Indeed, from its signs is that a child will be coarse and the rain will be oppressively hot. Secrets will be revealed, the liar will be believed, the treacherous one will be trusted, the trustworthy one will be distrusted, every tribe will be led by its hypocrites, and every marketplace by its wicked ones. The Mihraabs will be adorned and hearts will be ruined. Men will suffice themselves with men, and women will suffice themselves with women. Alcohol will be imbibed. There will be an increase in Ash-Shurat (perhaps referring to guards, and Allah knows best), in those who slander, and in those who backbite.”
“the Hour will not arrive until the sky stops giving rain, until the earth (its crops) does not grow,
until for every 50 women, there will be a single guardian, and until a woman passes by a man, who looks at her and says, ‘this woman used to have a man.”‘
“The Hour will not arrive until knowledge is raised, ignorance is widespread, men are few, women are many, and until for every 50 women, there will be a single man who will be their guardian “
completed the prayer (by making Tasleem), he stood on the pulpit and mentioned the Hour. He also mentioned some great matters that are to occur before it.
“From The Signs Of The Hour Is That Those Who Have Neither A Good Character Nor Religion Will Have Much Wealth “
” The Hour will not arrive until the most privileged of people will be Lakai ibn Lakai (an ignoble person who is the son of an ignoble person).”
He is a man from the children of Adam ; Allah created him to be a test for the people at the end of time: “He will misguide many through him and He will guide many through him, and He will not misguide anyone through him except for the wicked-doers.”The Dajjaal will be given permission to come out at the end of time, after the Muslims conquer the Roman city called Constantinople. At first, he will appear in Asbahaan, in an area called Al-Yahoodiyyah. 70,000 Jews from its inhabitants will help him; they will have on them weapons and Teejaan, which are long green robes. Also, 70,000 Tartars as well as some people from Kharasaan will support him. He will first appear in the shape of a tyrannical king; then he will claim prophethood, and then he will claim divinity. The mob and the ignorant ones from the children of Adam Will will follow him. And he will be opposed and rejected by those righteous slaves whom Allah It guides – the party of Allah, the righteous ones. The Dajjaal will take countries one after the other, fortresses one after the other, cities one after another, and regions one after another. There will remain no city that he will not have landed on with his horse and feet, except for Makkah and Al-Madeenah. He will remain for a period of forty days on earth; one day will be like a year, one day will be like a month, and one day will be like a week; the rest of his days will be like the (normal) days of the people. This averages out to one year, two and a half months. Allah will create many miracles at his hands, through which He will lead astray those whom He wishes, and He will make firm the believers, whose Eemaan will increase and whose level of guidance will increase. It is during the days of Al-Maseeh Ad-Dajjaal, the Maseeh of misguidance, that ‘Eesa ibn Maryam, the Maseeh of guidance, will descend. He will descend on the minaret of Eastern Damascus. the believers and righteous slaves of Allah will gather round him. Al- Maseeh ‘Eesa ibn Maryam will lead them towards Ad-Dajjaal, who will be heading to Jerusalem. They will catch up to him at ‘Aqabah Afeeq. The Dajjaal will be vanquished when ‘Eesa litl4t1 catches up with him at the door of Lud. ‘Eesar’iLl al will kill him with his sword, and before doing so, he will say, “Indeed, I have one blow to give you, which shall not evade me.” Then the Dajjaal faces ‘Eesa and the former will dissolve just as salt dissolves in water. It is then that ‘Eesa %El catches up to him and kills him with his spear at the door of Lud. There the Dajjaal will die — Allah’s curse upon him. This has been established by authentic narrations, which we have mentioned and (some of) which we will mention.
Fitnah Of The Dajjaal
From the Ahaadeeth we mentioned, we know that the Dajjaal is one- eyed (which is like a floating grape ) (one-eyed is obliterated over it is coarse skin (that covers the eye) ., white, and radiant, with plentiful hair. Some Ahaadeeth mention that he is short, but in one Hadeeth it is mentioned that he is tall. It is related that the distance separating the two ears of his donkey is forty arm-spans — but in the Hadeeth of Jaabir 4 as well as in another narration the distance mentioned is 70 arm-lengths; the latter is not authentic and the former is doubtful In Ma’rifatus-Sahaabah, Abdaan related that Mas’ood said, “Therefore, the donkey of the Dajjaal gives shade to 70,000.” Regarding this narration, our Shaikh, Al-Haafiz Adh-Dhahabee, said, “Khaut (one of its narrators) is unknown, and the narration is Munkar.” We also know that written between the two eyes of the Dajjaal is “Kaafir (disbeliever),” which every believer will read. And his head from behind is Hubuk Hubuk (all curly). Abu Qulaabah related that he heard a man narrate this Hadeeth from the Messenger of Allah,: “Indeed after me is the Misguiding Liar, and his head from behind is Hubuk Hubuk (all curly).”It was related the the Prophet PBUH said, ‘Ad-Dajjaal: there is nothing hidden about him. He will come from the East. He will call to the truth, and he will be followed. He will go on behalf of the people and fight them, and he will be victorious over them. He will continue upon that state until he reaches Kufa. There he will manifest Allah’s religion and apply it, and for that he will be followed and loved. But then after that he will say, ‘Indeed I am a Prophet.’ Every person of sound mind will be alarmed by that, and as a result will part from him. Later on he will say, ‘I am Allah.’ Allah will cover his eyes; his ears will be cut and “Kaafir (disbeliever) will be written between his eyes, and that will not be hidden to any Muslim. Anyone who has a mustard-seed amount of Eemaan (faith) in his heart will then part from him. His companions will be from the Jews, the Magian, the Christians, and these foreigners from the polytheists. Then, according to what they see, he will call a man, order for him to be brought, and then he will kill him. Next, he will cut the body into (two) pieces, (displaying) each piece separately. He will separate between the two, so that the people can see them. After that, he will gather them back together, strike (the body) with a rod, and suddenly the man will be standing. The Dajjaal will say, ‘I am Allah, I bring to life and cause death.”‘
some narations about addajaal
– It was related by abu bakr as-siddeeq that messenger of Allah PBUH said “the Dajjaal will come out in the land of the East; it is called Khurasaan. A group of people, who have faces
That ‘Eesa will descend at the white minaret in eastern Damascus is the more widely held view; I read in some books that he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern part of the Jaamai’ (main center or main mosque) in Damascus, and perhaps the narration that relates this is the one that is correctly memorized. In the other narration — eastern Damascus — perhaps the narrator changed the wording, whereby he related the expression in the manner that he understood it. There is no known minaret in eastern Damascus except for the one that is east of Al-Jaamai Al-Umawee.
– Jesus will remain for forty years , or seven years (( the seven years refer to the period he will spend after he descends, and that is added to the period he had already spent on earth , 33 years old , So those 33 years plus the 7 after he will descend equals 40. And Allah It knows best.)) ,during which , He will destroy Al-Maseeh Ad-Dajjaal / Anti-Christ and Yajooj and Majooj (Gog and Magog) , and will crush the cross, and kill the pig, and remove the Jizyah / tribute , Then he will die, and the Muslims will pray over him .
– It is also established that Jesus will make Hajj / pilgrimage after he descends and during the period of his stay on earth , He will die in Al-Madeenah An-Nabawiyyah / Saudi Arabia. There he will be prayed upon and he too will be buried in the chamber of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH “
In another narration ”
The smoke is a major sign of Qiyamah “Resurrection”. It will rise and cover the whole world. The whole world will be like a house on fire . The smoke will affect both the believers and non-belivers alike remaining for a period of 40 days and night. The believers will be affected a little as if suffering from cold while the smoke will enter the ears and the brains of the non-belivers and make them unconscious
Allah (swt) said :-
“They will remain in that state of punishment for a period that Allah It wills; and it will be prolonged. Then Allah will order Israafeel to blow the blowing of the swooning away. Except for those whom Allah ig wills, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth will swoon away. And they will be silent (dead, destroyed). The angel of death will go to the All-Mighty and say, ‘0 my Lord, other than those whom You exempted, the inhabitants of the heavens and theearth are dead.’ He It will say, and He is most knowledgeable regarding who remains, ‘And who is left.’ The angel will say, ‘0 my Lord, You, the Ever-Living, Who never dies, remains. The bearers of Your throne remain; Jibreel and Meekaaeel remain; and I remain.’ Allah says, ‘Let Jibreel and Meekaaeel die.’ Then Allah will make His Throne speak, and it will say, ‘0 my Lord, Jibreel and Meekaaeel will die?’ Allah it will say, ‘Be quiet, for I have indeed written death upon everyone who is under my Throne.’ And so the two said angels die. Then the Angel of death goes to the All-Mighty ‘Azza Wa-Jall (to Whom belongs Might and Majesty), and says, ‘0 my Lord, Jibreel and Meekaaeel have indeed died. I and the bearers of the throne are left.’ Allah will say, ‘Then let the bearers of the throne die,’ and then they will die. And Allah will order the throne, and it will seize the horn from Israafeel. Then the angel of death will go to the All-Mighty and say, “0 my Lord, the bearers of Your throne have indeed died.’ He It will say, and He is most knowledgeable regarding who remains, ‘Then who is left?’ He will say, ‘0 my Lord, You, the Ever-Living, Who never dies remains, and I remain.’ Allah 5g will say, ‘You are one from my creation; I have created you for what you have seen, so die, and he will die. When no one remains except for Allah, the One, the Irresistible, the One, the single Self-Sufficient Master (Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks): He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him. He 44 will be the last just as He was the first. He will fold the heavens and the earth like the folding of the registry for a book. Then he will spread them and then wrap them three times. He 84 will say, ‘I am the All-Mighty
