24. Zalzaal (Earthquakes)


Linguistically, zalzal can mean earthquakes and great trials and tribulations.

RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said in a hadith, “Earthquakes will be frequent.”

In another hadith by Ahmad, RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “O son of Hawaala (a companion), if you see khilafaa appraoach the holy land (Palestine), then the time for earthquakes and disasters and great issues is approaching. And the Hour, at that time, will be closer to the people than my hand to your head.” What is meant by the khilaafa being close to the holy land? Allahu ‘Alam that is still to come. That is where Mehdi and ‘Eesa ibn Maryam will come. Those will be times of peace and security, but after that will be the worse disasters and the end of time.
