Dajjal & other signs of the Last Hour
Sometimes the subject
of the signs of the last hour are ignored or worse still dealt with in a
sensationalist manner. However, it is extremely important for a Muslim to do
this area justice. In fact understanding the signs of the last hour are an
important part of our faith. Muslims should study and understand this important
part of our deen (religion) from reliable sources and sheikhs.
Narrated
Abu Huraira: One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some
people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked, "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle
replied, 'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His
Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is
Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer
prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts
during the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan
(perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and
if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is
looking at you." Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be established?"
Allah's Apostle replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the
questioner. But I will inform you about its portents. 1. When a slave (lady)
gives birth to her master. 2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting
and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour
is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. The Prophet then recited:
"Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour--." (31. 34) Then that
man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his companions to call him back, but
they could not see him. Then the Prophet said, "That was Gabriel who came to
teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet)
considered all that as a part of faith. Sahih Bukhari, Vol:1, Book:2, No:47
