Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. Here are some signs of the last
day, sisters, as you will notice, many have come to pass since the
Prophet’s [saws] time. Unfortunately, I am neither a scholar nor a
student of them and I don’t have much knowledge on some of these
signs. Some are apparent [like illegal sex. being prevelant] and
some are not-like two large armies fighting each other and both being
on the same religion, etc. Also, I am not always sure about where
the places are that are being referenced in the ahadeeth. On that
note, any sisters with knowledge who can help me out here and
enlighten us on where these places are and what the ahadeeth are
refering to, etc, would be greatly appreciated!
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 422:
Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, “You will follow the ways of those nations who were
before you, span by span and cubit by cubit (i.e., inch by inch) so
much so that even if they entered a hole of a mastigure, you would
follow them.” We said, “O Allah’s Apostle! (Do you mean) the Jews and
the Christians?” He said, “Whom else?”
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 237:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle 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 Zakat,
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.”
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 184:
Narrated 'Abdullah and Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, “Near the establishment of the Hour there will be
days during which Religious ignorance will spread, knowledge will be
taken away (vanish) and there will be much Al-Harj, and Al-Harj means
killing.”
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 800i:
Narrated Anas:
I will narrate to you a narration which nobody will narrate to you
after me. I heard that form the Prophet. I heard the Prophet
saying, “The Hour sill not be established” or said: “From among the
portents of the Hour is that the religious knowledge will betaken
away (by the death of religious Scholars) and general ignorance (of
religion) will appear; and the drinking of alcoholic drinks will be
very common, and (open) illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, and
men will decrease in number while women will increase so much so
that, for fifty women there will only be one man to look after them.”
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 601:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet once delivered a speech in front of us wherein he left
nothing but mentioned (about) everything that would happen till the
Hour. Some of us stored that our minds and some forgot it. (After
that speech) I used to see events taking place (which had been
referred to in that speech) but I had forgotten them (before their
occurrence). Then I would recognize such events as a man recognizes
another man who has been absent and then sees and recognizes him.
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 503:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour.”
It was asked, “How will honesty be lost, O Allah’s Apostle?” He
said, “When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then
wait for the Hour.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 513:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established till the sun
rises from the west, and when it rises (from the west) and the people
see it, then all of them will believe (in Allah). But that will be
the time when 'No good it will do to a soul to believe then. If it
believed not before..”’ (6.158)
The Hour will be established (so suddenly) that two persons spreading
a garment between them will not be able to finish their bargain, nor
will they be able to fold it up. The Hour will be established while a
man is carrying the milk of his she-camel, but cannot drink it; and
the Hour will be established when someone is not able to prepare the
tank to water his livestock from it; and the Hour will be established
when some of you has raised his food to his mouth but cannot eat it."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 192:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A man asked the Prophet “When will the Hour be established O Allah’s
Apostle?” The Prophet . said, “What have you prepared for it?” The
man said, " I haven’t prepared for it much of prayers or fast or
alms, but I love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, “You will
be with those whom you love.”
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 401:
Narrated Auf bin Mali:
I went to the Prophet during the Ghazwa of Tabuk while he was sitting
in a leather tent. He said, "Count six signs that indicate the
approach of the Hour: my death, the conquest of Jerusalem, a plague
that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague
that afflicts sheep, the increase of wealth to such an extent that
even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satisfied;
then an affliction which no Arab house will escape, and then a truce
between you and Bani Al-Asfar (i.e. the Byzantines) who will betray
you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve
thousand soldiers.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 179:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you
fight with the Turks; people with small eyes, red faces, and flat
noses. Their faces will look like shields coated with leather. The
Hour will not be established till you fight with people whose shoes
are made of hair.”
Volume 3, Book 43, Number 656:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until the son
of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will
break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will
be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts).
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 663:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said “The people will continue performing the Hajj
and 'Umra to the Ka’ba even after the appearance of Gog and Magog.”
Narrated Shu’ba extra:
The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established till the Hajj (to
the Ka’ba) is abandoned.
It is important I think to note that these things are to be taken
literally and not allegorically as some think. The Dajjal [the main
one] is really a man [more on this later] and is not the United
States or President Bush or whatever. The beast to come from the
earth [27:82] will really be a beast and is not the internet or ATM
machines or whatever. And Gog and Magog [Yajuj and Majuj in Arabic]
are not Americans or the Jews but are an extremely war-like people
who will break out of their wall that Dhul-Qarnian [SPECULATED to be
Alexander the Great] imprisoned them in only after the return of
Jesus [pbuh]-more on this later too. Reference Gog and Magog to:
18:92-99 and 21:96
