Prophethood shall remain among you as long as Allah shall will. He will bring about its end and follow it with Khilafat on the precepts of prophethood for as long as He shall will and then bring about its end. A tyrannical monarchy will then follow and will remain as long as Allah shall will and then come to an end. There will follow thereafter monarchial despotism to last as long as Allah shall will and come to an end upon His decree. There will then emerge Khilafat on precept of Prophethood." The Holy Prophet said no more.
^ What is that???
What does it look like ?
Thats what I am asking. Did you write it yourself or are you quoting someone. Give some direction to the discussion, so that others can follow through on your thought process.
Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman:razi: reported that the Messenger of Allah :saw: said:
**“Prophethood (meaning Muhammad :saw: himself) will remain with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain, then Allah will raise it up whenever he wills to raise it up. Afterwards, there will be a Caliphate that follows the guidance of Prophethood remaining with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, He will raise it up whenever He wills to raise it up. Afterwards, there will be a reign of violently oppressive [The reign of Muslim kings who are partially unjust] rule and it will remain with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, there will be a reign of tyrannical rule and it will remain for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, Allah will raise it up whenever He wills to raise it up. Then, there will be a Caliphate that follows the guidance of Prophethood.” **
Then Hudhaifah said, “The Prophet :saw: stopped speaking.”
[As-Silsilah As-Sahihah, vol. 1, no. 5]
The same hadith without any change of a word is also narrated by Hadrat Nauman Ibn-e-Basheer :razi: in Musnad-e-Ahmad Ibn-e-Hanbal.
Details here
Ok, so now that we have established that this is a hadith of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) - something that should have been done in the first post - pls tell us what you want to discuss here. Give some comments of your own to explain which direction this discussion should take.
The purpose of this hadith can be shown for the topic of Khilafah Ala Minhaaj-in-Nubuwwah at the time of Mehdi :as: as is described in the fifth part of the hadith.
Since, it is so much discussed topic already, I would like to share the details only if there is a need and if I am asked further. So, that should suffice IMO.
let me guess....
has something to do with the false prophets (no points for guessing names).... ;)
Are we currently in the "reign of violently oppressive rule" or the "reign of tyrannical rule"?
What exactly are you suggestion Anwaar Qureshi
