The End of World

What will be the condition of the world during his time? There is a hadith in Muslim which says that after Ya`juj and Ma`juj: [...]Then Allah would send rain which no house of clay or (the tent of) camels’ hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it could appear to be a mirror. [The speaker says: Allahu Alam this could mean that there would be so much water that it looks like a mirror or the earth would become so clean and as transparent as a mirror.] Then [Allah would give order to] the earth would be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing [The blessings are on earth, but we are the reason they don’t appear. Allah says that corruption appeared on earth – why? Because of what the hands of people have reaped.]  and, as a result thereof, there would grow such a big pomegranate that a group of persons would be able to eat that, and seek shelter under its skin and a cow would give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it. And the camel would give such a large quantity of milk that the whole tribe would be able to drink out of that and the sheep would give so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that and at that time Allah would send a pleasant wind which would soothe people even under their armpits, and would take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them. [Muslim B.41, #7015]

In another hadith by Imam Ahmad, “The Prophets are half brothers. Their religion is one, but their mothers are different.” In other words, all of the prophets are brothers, even though their law is different. The religion is the same and they are brothers. “And ‘Eesa is the closest one to me because there is no prophet between me and him. And he would descend. When he comes down, know him. He is average height and he has fair skin and he will be wrapped in two garments which have a yellowish colour. His hair looks as if it is wet and dripping with droplets of water, even though it’s dry.” Sometimes people have such beautiful hair – it might be so dark and black – that it looks wet. In the time of Islam, all of the religions will disappear except Islam. This will only happen during the time of Islam. Another honor to ‘Eesa ‘alayhis salaam is that during his time, ad-dajjaal will be eliminated, and peace would descend on earth. Peace isn’t hanging up there – it will be with the people. RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, lions would accompany camels and tigers would accompany cows and wolves would accompany goats and children would play with snakes. There would be so much peace on earth; no one wants to harm anyone. RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says, he would stay for 40 years and then he would die and the Muslims would pray on him. He has to come down to earth, because Allah created us from this earth. We would live on this earth and die on this earth. ‘Eesa [Jesus] did not die yet. Allah would bring him down to achieve the final victory of Islam. SubhanAllah, this is a blessed Ummah – it begins with a prophet and ends with a prophet.

RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says in the hadith that he would stay for 40 years, but in another hadith it says that he would stay for 7 years. Both hadith are authentic and in Muslim. The scholars found a way to explain this. 40 years is his total time on earth. He already lived 33 years on earth and he has 7 years left in his life, and he will spend the 7 years with this Ummah.

RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says, during those 7 years, there will be 7 years when no two people will have any animosity between each other. There will be so much peace during that time. And then, [RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says] a wind would blow from Ash-Shaam and it would take the soul of every believer. Even the ones with a single grain of imaan in his heart will die. That is the end of the story of this world. It started with Adam and ends with Islam.

RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says, “There will be so much blessing that if you throw a seed and throw them on a solid rock, it will grow.” And then that’s the end.

The souls of the believers will be taken away. Following that, the munafiqeen and the worst of people will remain. RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says they would be corrupt and would have intercourse amongst each other like donkeys – like animals. RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says, these are the ones whom the Hour would occur on. Allahu Alam, that would continue for 40 years. There would be perversion and corruption and all types of evil.
