Signs of The Last Hour On request by members of the forum we are narrating some hadiths regarding the last hour, however we would like to point out to the readers that some of the signs might have been fulfilled. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The Last Hour would not come before
the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, for which people would fight.
Ninety-nine out of each one hundred would die but every man amongst them
would say that perhaps he would be the one who would be saved (and thus
possess this gold). Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The Euphrates would soon uncover a mountain of gold but he who is present there should not take anything from that. [Sahih Muslim: Book 041, Number 6921] Hadith refers to gold not oil, so don't be fooled by people. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until
the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the
best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from
Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the
Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took
prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would
say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren
that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army
would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army).
Which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eye, would be
killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they
would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in
distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their
swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Dajjal has taken your
place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no
avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would
be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly,
the time of prayer shall come and then Eisa (peace be upon him) son of
Maryam would descend and would lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah
would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in
water and if he (Eisa) were not to confront them at all, even then it would
dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show
them their blood on his lance (the lance of Eisa). Mustaurid Qureshi reported: I heard Allah's
Messenger (SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The Last Hour would come
when the Romans would form a majority amongst people. Yusair b. Jabir reported: Once there blew a
red storm in Kufa that there came a person who had nothing to say but (these
words): Abdullah b. Mas'ud, the Last Hour has come. He ('Abdullah b. Mas'ud)
was sitting reclining against something, and he said: The Last Hour would
not come until the people divide in- heritance and rejoice over booty, and
then said pointing towards Syria, with the gesture of his hand like this:
The enemy shall muster strength against Muslims and the Muslims will muster
strength against them (Syrians). I said: You mean Rome? And he said: Yes,
and there would be a terrible fight and the Muslims would prepare a
detachment (for fighting unto death) which would not return but victorious.
They will fight until night will intervene them; both the sides will return
without being victorious and both will be wiped out. The Muslims will again
prepare a detachment for fighting unto death so that they may not return but
victorious. When it would be the fourth day, a new detachment out of the
remnant of the Muslims would be prepared and Allah will decree that the
enemy should be routed. And they would fight such a fight the like of which
would not be seen, so much so that even if a bird were to pass their flanks,
it would fall down dead before reaching the end of them. (There would be
such a large scale massacre) that when counting would be done, (only) one
out of a hundred men related to one another would be found alive. So what
can be the joy at the spoils of such war and what inheritance would be
divided! They would be in this very state that they would hear of a calamity
more horrible than this. And a cry would reach them: The Dajjal has taken
your place among your off- spring. They will, therefore, throw away what
would be in their hands and go forward sending ten horsemen, as a scouting
party. Allah's Messenger (SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: I know their
names and the names of their forefathers and the color of their horses. They
will be best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day or amongst the
best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day. Hudhaifa b. Usaid Ghifari reported: Allah's
Messenger (SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) came to us all of a sudden as we were
(busy in a discussion). He said: What do you discuss about? They (the
Companions) said. We are discussing about the Last Hour. Thereupon he said:
It will not come until you see ten signs before and (in this connection) he
made a mention of the smoke, Dajjal, the beast, the rising of the sun from
the west, the descent of Eisa son of Maryam (Allah be pleased with him), the
Gog and Magog, and land-sliding in three places, one in the east, one in
the west and one in Arabia at the end of which fire would burn forth from
the Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their assembly. Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: The Last Hour would not come until fire
emits from the earth of Hijaz which would illuminate the necks of the camels
of the Basra. Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: (The Last Hour would not come) until the
habitations of Medina would extend to Ihab or Yahab. Zubair said: I said to
Suhail how far these were from Medina. He said: So and so miles. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until
the women of the tribe of Daus would be seen going round Dhi al-Khalasa (for
worship) and Dhi al-Khalasa is a place in Tabala, where there was a temple
in which the people of the tribe of Daus used to worship the idol. Aisha reported: I heard Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The (system) of night and day would
not end until the people have taken to the worship of Lat and 'Uzza. I said:
Allah's Messenger, I think when Allah has revealed this verse:" He it is Who
has sent His Messenger with right guidance, and true religion, so that He
may cause it to prevail upon all religions, though the polytheists are
averse (to it)" (ix. 33), it implies that (this promise) is going to be
fulfilled. Thereupon he (Allah's Messenger) said: It would happen as Allah
would like. Then Allah would send the sweet fragrant air by which everyone
who has even a mustard grain of faith in Him would die and those only would
survive who would have no goodness in them. And they would revert to the
religion of their forefathers. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: By Him, in Whose hand is my life,
the world would not come to an end until a person would pass by a grave,
would roll over it and express the desire that he should be in the place of
the occupant of that grave not because of religious reasons but because of
this calamity.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, a
time would come when the murderer would not know why he has committed the
murder, and the victim would not know why he has been killed. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The day and the night would not come
to an end before a man called al-Jahjah would occupy the throne. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until a
people wearing shoes of hair fight against you having their faces like
hammered shields. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until
the Muslims fight with the Turks-a people whose faces would be like hammered
shields wearing clothes of hair and walking (with shoes) of hair. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: You shall fight in the hours to come
against a nation wearing shoes made of hair and faces like hammered shields,
with red complexion and small eyes. Abu Sa'id and Jabir b. Abdullah reported that
Allah's Messenger (SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: There would be in the
last phase of the time a caliph who would distribute wealth but would not
count. This hadith refers to Imam Mahdi. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) saying: You have heard about a city the one
side of which is in the land and the other is in the sea (Constantinople).
They said: Allah 's Messenger, yes. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would
not come unless seventy thousand persons from Bani Isra'il would attack it.
When they would land there, they will neither fight with weapons nor would
shower arrows but would only say:" There is no Allah but Allah and Allah is
the Greatest," that one side of it would fall. Thaur (one of the narrators)
said: I think that he said: The part by the side of the ocean. Then they
would say for the second time:" There is no Allah but Allah and Allah is the
Greatest" that the second side would also fall, and they would say:" There
is no Allah but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," that the gates would be
opened for them and they would enter therein and, they would be collecting
spoils of war and distributing them amongst themselves that a noise would be
heard and It would be said: Verily, Dajjal has come. And thus they would
leave everything there and would turn to him. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The last hour would not come unless
the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them
until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or
a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me;
come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of
the Jews. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until
there would arise about thirty impostors, liars, and each one of them would
claim that he is a messenger of Allah. Allah's Messenger (SallAllahu Alaihi
Wasallam) said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in
the world) for forty-I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months
or forty years. And Allah would then send Eisa son of Maryam who would
resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Eisa Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then
people would live for seven years that there would be no rancor between two
persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none
would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him
but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the
innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and
that would cause his heath. I heard Allah's Messenger (SallAllahu Alaihi
Wasallam) as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be
as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never
appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then the Satan would come to them in
human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you
order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of
this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives.
Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend
his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to
hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the
tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other
people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send
rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of
the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up
and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your
Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would
be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it
would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninety-nine out
of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make
the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which
it has been said:" On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii.
42). Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet said, "Near the establishment of
the Hour there will be days during which (religious) knowledge will be taken
away (vanish) and general ignorance will spread, and there will be Al-Harj
in abundance, and Al-Harj means killing." Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "The Hour will not be
established till the buttocks of the women of the tribe of Daus move while
going round Dhi-al-Khalasa." Dhi-al-Khalasa was the idol of the Daus tribe
which they used to worship in the Pre Islamic Period of ignorance. Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "The Hour will not be
established till a man from Qahtan appears, driving the people with his
stick." Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "The Hour will not be
established (1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be
a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one
and the same religious doctrine, (2) till about thirty Dajjals (liars)
appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah's Messenger, (3)
till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of Religious
scholars) (4) earthquakes will increase in number (5) time will pass
quickly, (6) afflictions will appear, (7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing) will
increase, (8) till wealth will be in abundance ---- so abundant that a
wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his charity, and
whenever he will present it to someone, that person (to whom it will be
offered) will say, 'I am not in need of it, (9) till the people compete with
one another in constructing high buildings, (10) till a man when passing by
a grave of someone will say, 'Would that I were in his place (11) and till
the sun rises from the West. So when the sun will rise and the people will
see it (rising from the West) they will all believe (embrace Islam) but that
will be the time when: (As Allah said,) 'No good will it do to a soul to
believe then, if it believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of
righteousness) through its Faith.' (6.158) And the Hour will be established
while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able
to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has
milked his she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not be able to
drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank
(for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will
be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but
will not be able to eat it." Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said regarding the last hour that it will occur when: 1. When a slave woman gives birth to her master. 2. When the shepherds of black camels start
boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings.
And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. |
