[Jay 107]

1.The dark of night will not be deemed necessary for the commitment of sins.

Has already happened- bank robberies, burglars, gangs, etc.

2.Extravagant mansions will be constructed.

Britain, Netherlands, even United States. People rich and hog all the money.

3.Singers will be considered respectable.

Michael Jackson = Millions cried of his Death.

Imam Hussein = 99.99% of the world either doesn't care or doesn't know

Singers today make so much money and everyone wants to be one and respects bands, etc.

4.War shall be prevalent .

For the US alone in the past 100 years

WW1 (1917-1918)

WW2 (1941-1945)

Korea War (1950-1953)

Vietnam War (1961-1975)

World War II bombing of Nuclear Bomb in Hiroshima

someone already said

10.Good deeds will be few and far between.

When was the last time you heard of a guy giving his entire fortune to poor people?

11.False guides will mislead the multitudes.

Sunni (About 1billion people) and Christians (2-3billion)

12.Posts will be many, but practical teachers a few.

Don't understand this one.

13.Mosques will be decorated profusely but urge towards adoration will be absent.

Don't know how to answer this one.

14.The rate of accidental deaths will be on the rise.

Bigger population = more deaths

According to statistics in the USA

of 97900 deaths, 43,354 are car accidents, 13,322 from FALLS

15.The rich will become godless and the devout will become sinful.

This has already happened. So many rich people are atheists.

16.Leaders of opinion will be corrupt and overbearing.

Look at every country, and find me a leader who isn't corrupt.

17.False witnesses will be accepted and true ones rejected

Politics

18.The Quran will be considered as an old ancient book

How many times have I heard this when I ask an Iraqi at School in America?

19.A person spending money on sinful purposes will not be criticised.

Music, Pork etc.

20.People will thrust their personal opinions in the religion.

Look at Christianity. How many protestants are there? Islam, so many sects in both Shia and Sunni

21.Usury (Interest) will be considered lawful.

Look at Banks!

22.The virtuous will be despised for their faith in God.

Shia - Nearly every sunni calls us kafir and mushrik. Wahabis kill us.

23.Human beings will be followers of selfish desires.

In America alone, nearly every person has a goal of being rich (without donating)

24.Pride will be taken for oppressive tendencies.

Wahabis have no pride. No flag, no country, no man-to-man combat. Just bomb people at will with no regard to anyone.

25.Good people will observe silence due to fear of wicked persons foul speech.

Stalin, Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Ladin. They don't let anyone talk and they say their evil speeches and people actually pay attention and care. Look at Hitler. He killed all people who would question him. His speeches created World War II, possibly the most destructive war in history.

26.Tale bearing and backbiting will be considered as good and will be prevalent.

In my school alone, I see so much gossip and bullies. Even at work.

27.A wealthy person will command more respect then a pious person.

Look at Bill Gates, then look at the Shiites of Iran.

28.Children will curse their parents and will pray for their early death.

America... need I say more?

29.Payments will be taken for rendering religious services in Mosques.

Probably already happens, but Ive never heard of such a thing.

30.There will be two eclipses in the Month of Ramadhan.

Heard of this. 1 Lunar Eclipse at the beginning and 1 Solar Eclipse in the middle of Ramadhan. This will a major sign of his reappeance

31.Recitaton of the Holy Quran will be considered as a burden

Yep. I live in a Muslim Community, and I've never seen or heard the Quran being recited (except my Mom)

32.Homosexuality will be prevalent

--America

33.The land will crumble and sink thrice in the East, the west and Arabian peninsula

Don't know how to answer that.

Where is your source? Please, somebody help me with this. I have been searching for the hadith from the prophet (s) regarding the end of times (1. taking salaat lightly 2. people will obey their desires 3. glorification of wealth etc etc)

Can someone PLEASE send me the exact hadith/hadiths regarding the prophet (s) telling his companions of the signs of the end of times?

Well what i think all the minors have already happened just the majors are still to happen.............But considering the minors there are some signs which are major may be not mentioned in Minors..........I've been reading the bool "14 sitarey". It contains all the signs and I have marked those which have not happened yet according to us or they are not apparent to us.......Like Kuch saloon tak kehat parey aur barish nai hogi buhat sey log marey jain gey............This was just an example among of those which have not happened yet......Only wait for these signs to happen and My heart says the time is not so far key jab hamrey hissey mein sawab likha ja raha hoga mehz Imam Mehdi ko dekhney per kiyon key un ko dekhna bhi ibadat hi hoga................Jazak Allah

:yaali:

[Orion 239]

(bismillah)

In a tradition upon whose authenticity all Muslims agree, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) has said:

"Even if the entire duration of the world's existence has already been exhausted and only one day is left before Doomsday, Allah will expand that day to such length of time as to accommodate the kingdom of a person from my Ahlul-Bayt who will be called by my name. He will fill out the earth with peace and justice as it will have been full of injustice and tyranny (by then)."

------------------------------------------------

If Imam Mehdi (ATF) had come, this world would have been filled with Peace and Justice. On the contrary, this world is currently filled with In-justice and Tyranny. This proof is enough for us that Ahmadies, Qadyanis and Bahai's are all misguided.

good news heh ?? I cant wait till imam mahdi comes !!

Greetings Enlightened,

The whole world shook on Dec. 21, 2010 ... earthquakes were registered on the seismographs across the whole planet

How many people know this?

[guest022017a 4]

one other one from the Prophet which i dont know has already been mentioned, but is very relevant today "holding onto religious principals and morals will be so hard that it will be like holding burning coal, you would only be able to hold onto it for a few seconds" from the Prophet himself

and another one from the Prophet

"When people leave their house int he morning they will leave as muslims, but when they return home at night they will return as disbelievers/kafir/mushrik"

and as you know today people struggle to hold onto religious morals and principals

and people do leave their houses in the morning having done all the muslims rituals i.e pray and and not do anything wrong, but after they leave to go to work, they commit every sin in that time, they lie, they backbite, they dont pray(have no time to pray), they chase after the world, the dont lower the gaze etc and so on and so forth"

[Anonymous456 28]

It is sad that a lot of these signs have become the norms in society, may Allah guide us inshallah so that we are not ones to fall within societal traps.

[blu115 164]

All the signs except for 33 have been fulfilled.. :excl:

[hasanhh 6,289]

(salam)

In the original list, post 1 #9 and post 16: Volcanoes and Earthquakes

About a decade ago, a lecture on geologic history said that we are in a "quiet time" since the eruption of Krakatoa (1883).

"Quiet" as in the number of known events.

[ToAllahWeReturn 32]

(salam) , can you please tell me the sources for these 33 signs?

[Qa'im 10,566]

A list of eschatological events I compiled a while ago from authentic narrations:

The Return of the Mahdi

-Twelve false Imams will come out from Banu Hashim
-Knowledge in Mecca and Medina will disappear prior to the coming of the Mahdi
-The people will do takfir of each other
-There will be a disagreement in the family of `Abbas, causing them to dispute over power
-Every Arab with a weapon will revolt for himself
-Tribalism between Mecca and Medina will result in killing
-The Yamani will rise with a banner of guidance and truth
-Qays al-Misri and his followers will rise from Egypt
-Rise of the Khorasani and his followers from Khorasan
-Rise of the Sufyani in Rajab; who will rule over five regions for the length of a pregnancy of a camel. The five regions according to some traditions are Damascus, Palestine, Jordan, Aleppo, and Homs. The pregnancy of a camel is approximately 13-15 months.
-The Nafs al-Zakiyya will rise against the Sufyani; he is righteous man from the lineage of Imam Hasan (as)
-The Mahdi secretly goes from Medina to Mecca, asking Allah to grant him permission to reappear
-The Mahdi meets some of his followers prior to his rising
-Nafs al-Zakiyya is killed by the people of Mecca while coming to the Imam, and his head is sent to the Sufyani
-Jibra'il will call out the name of the Mahdi from the sky, causing the sleepers to wake, the standing to sit and the sitting to stand. The necks of the enemies of Allah will bow down.
-The call from the heavens will also say “Is not the truth with `Ali and his Shi`a?” All people on Earth will hear this call in their own language.

Mahdi arises

-His 313 followers make bay`a to him. The reward of each follower will be equal to fifty of the Prophet’s companions.

-10,000 people join Imam al-Mahdi.
-The Mahdi cuts the hands of bani Shayba for thievery. This tribe were charged by the Prophet to protect the Ka`ba.
-The angels that mourned for Husayn will join the Mahdi and their slogan will be “Vengeance for the blood of Husayn!”
-The Mahdi will bear Muhammad’s sword, armour, turban, garment, staff, banner, helmet, and saddle; the staff of Musa, and the ring of Sulayman
-Iblees will call from the Earth at the end of the day “Is not the truth with `Uthman and his followers?”, or “Is not the truth with the Sufyani and his followers?” – this will delude the wrongdoers
-The worshipers of idols will disbelieve in the Mahdi
-Masjid Kufa is demolished by the wrongdoers, and the Mahdi will witness this with his followers.
-The Sufyani's army will be swallowed up by the Earth on its way to Medina
-The children of `Ali will flee from Medina to Mecca
-The Mahdi will travel to Kufa, Iraq. All of the believers will either be in Kufa or be on their way there. The 313 men will be gathered in Kufa in one hour.
-The Mahdi will send an army to Medina, whose people will accept him
-The Mahdi will unite the people and prevent their takfir of each other
-The Mahdi will fill the Earth with equity and justice as it would be fraught with injustice and oppression
-The Mahdi will punish the descendants of the killers of Husayn, because they will be proud of the sin of their forefathers
-The Mahdi will surround all lands and properties, evict people from them; except for that which is in the hand of the Shi`a
-The Mahdi will attest to those who paid khums
-The Mahdi will reinstate the punishment of stoning of adulterers and the execution of the withholder of zakat (these punishments may not be valid during the ghayba)
-The Mahdi will bring out the mus`haf of Imam `Ali and recite the Qur’an in its qira’a
-The Mahdi will dress ascetically, following the path of Imam `Ali
-The truth regarding the first two Caliphs will be revealed and the falsehood regarding them will be hidden

[Ibn Al-Shahid 1,353]

Salam,

 

Just a question. It is written that the earth will swallow Sufyani's army. Does that mean the 10,000 will not fight?

[Chaotic Muslem 5,764]

Salam,

Just a question. It is written that the earth will swallow Sufyani's army. Does that mean the 10,000 will not fight?

The earth will swallow the army that moves out of Najd towards Makkah to fight imam Mahdi . The desert between Makkah and Najd will swallow it.

Sufyiani is in Syria as far as I understood

And either way, the Hadith says

منصور بالرعب

[Ibn Al-Shahid 1,353]

1 ـ الشيصباني: ومعنى هذه التسمية انه الشيطاني، وهو وصف يعبر به الأئمة الأطهار عليهم السلام عن الطواغيت والأشرار، وقد ورد فيه حديث في غيبة النعماني عن جابر بن يزيد الجعفي قال: سالت أبا جعفر (الإمام الباقر عليه السلام) عن السفياني فقال: واني لكم بالسفياني حتى يخرج قبله الشيصباني يخرج بأرض كوفان، ينبع كما ينبع الماء فيقتل وفدكم فتوقعوا بعد ذلك السفياني وخروج القائم عجل الله فرجه الشريف.

 

مخطوطة ابن حماد ٨٤

 

Where is كوفان?

Edited June 30, 2015 by Ibn Al-Shahid

[Ibn Al-Shahid 1,353]

عن عبد الله بن أبي منصور البجلي قال: سألت أبا عبد الله صلوات الله وسلامه عليه عن اسم السفياني فقال: «وما تصنع باسمه، إذا ملك كور الشام الخمس دمشق، وحمص، وفلسطين، و الأردن، وقنسرين فتوقعوا عند ذلك الفرج، قلت: يملك تسعة أشهر؟ قال: لا ولكن يملك ثمانية أشهر لا يزيد يوما» (راجع كمال الدين وتمام النعمة للشيخ الصدوق:ص651 -652).

عن عيسى بن أعين عن أبي عبد الله الصادق صلوات الله وسلامه عليه أنه قال: «... ومن أول خروجه إلى آخره خمسة عشر شهرا، ستة أشهر يقاتل فيها، فإذا ملك الكور الخمس ملك تسعة أشهر ولم يزد عليها يوما» (كتاب الغيبة لمحمد بن إبراهيم النعماني: ص310).

According to the above hadeethain, it says that the Sufyani will rule no longer than 8-9 months. I would just like to make sure if this is correct or if what brother Qa'im has posted is more reliable.
