Qiyamah will come when...
Hadhrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (R.A.) narrates that Rasulallah (Sallallahu
Alayhii Wassallam) said, "Qiyamah will come...
When it will be regarded as a shame to act on Quranic
injunctions.
When untrustworthy people will be regarded as trustworthy and
the trustworthy will be regarded as untrustworthy.
When it will be hot in winter.
When the length of days is stretched, i.e. a journey of a few days
is covered in a matter of hours.
When orators and lecturers lie openly.
When people dispute over petty issues.
When women with children come displeased on account of them
bearing offspring, and barren women remain happy on account
of having no responsibility of offspring.
When oppression, jealousy, and greed become the order of the
day.
When people blatantly follow their passions and whims.
When lies prevail over the truth.
When violence, bloodshed and anarchy become common.
When immorality overtakes shamelessness and is perpetrated
publicly.
When legislation matters pertaining to Deen is handed over to
the worst elements of the Ummat, and if people accept them and
are satisfied with their findings, then such persons will not smell
the fragrance of Jannat.
When the offspring become a cause of grief and anger (for their
parents).
The following is part of a lengthy Hadith narrated by Hadhrat
Abdullah Ibn Mas'ood (R.A.) when he inquired from Rasulallah
(Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam) about the Signs of Qiyamah.
Music and musical instruments will be found in every home.
People will indulge in homosexuality.
There will be an abundance of illegitimate children.
There will be an abundance of critics, tale-carriers, back- biters
and taunters in society.
People will establish ties with strangers and sever relations with
their near and dear ones.
Hypocrites will be in control of the affairs of the community and
evil, immoral people will be at the helm of business
establishments.
The Masjid will be decorated, but the hearts of the people will be
devoid of guidance.
The courtyards of Masjids will be built beautifully and high
mimbars (pulpits) will be erected.
Gangsters and evil people will prevail.
Various wines will be consumed excessively.
Auf bin Malik (R.A.) says: I came to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi
Wasallam) while he was in his skin tent during the Tabuk
expedition. He said to me, "Count six things before the advent of
Qiyamah:
1 My death
2 The conquest of Jerusalem
3 Mass deaths amongst you people, just as when sheep die in large
numbers during an epidemic
4 Abundance of wealth to such an extent that if a person were to be
given a hundred Dinars he will still not be satisfied
5 General anarchy and bloodshed, that no Arab household will be
spared from it
6 Then a life of peace as a result of a peace agreement between you
and the Banil Asfaar
(Romans) which they will break and attack you with a force
consisting of eighty flags and under each flag will be an army of
twelve thousand men." (Hadith: Sahih Bukhari).
IRAQ and SYRIA
Abu Nadhrah says: "We were sitting in the company of Jabir bin
Abdullah (R.A.) when he said: 'Soon the people of IRAQ will neither
receive any food (grain) nor any money.'" We asked, "Why would
such a thing happen?" He replied, "Because of the non-Arabs." (i.e
they will prevent food from going into Iraq, in the form of
"sanctions" to this day.) He then said: "Soon the people of Shaam
(SYRIA) will neither receive any money nor grain." We asked as to
why this would happen. He replied: "Because of the Romans
(christians)."
CONCEITED PEOPLE:
Hadhrat Abbas (R.A) narrates that Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alayhi
Wassallam) has said, "Islam will spread far and wide, across the
seas. Horses will cross the land and seas in the cause of Jihaad. Then
a time will come wherein a group of people will emerge which
recites the Quraan. They will claim,
'We have recited the Quraan and is there anyone who understands
the Quraan better than us? There is NO ONE more proficient than us
in the study of the Quraan.'
Then Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam) asked the Sahaba, "Do
you see any good in their claims?" The Sahaba replied, "No".
Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam) said, "But these conceited
claimants will be from my Ummah and will be the fuel of the Fire."
