This website is
just a compilation of various aspects related to the end of time events
according to the Qur'an and the Sayings of Prophet Muhammad. Also, it
attempts to show the parallels between these prophecies and current
events. It is important to note that I am NOT a Scholar of any kind, so
a lot of what is linked to current events is really based on guesswork.
Although I have set up all the pages I initially intended to, it is far
from finished. My goal with this website is to basically link the news
with the Prophecies of Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be blessings and
peace) regarding the end of time events.
Why? Because I feel it is important to get as clear of an understanding
as possible of where we stand in relation to the end of time events.
Although their may be many Muslim websites that go into it, my goal is
inshallah for mine to be as comprehensive and as detailed as possible in
relating current events to the prophetic sayings. Not only that, but I
also plan to incorporate the news into my website inshallah. I am also
open to suggestions about my site, so if you have any please offer them
to me inshallah.
The
Future is for Islam
By Shaikh Muhammad Naasiruddeen Al-Albani [1]
Allaah the Mighty and Majestic said:
"It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion
of truth, that He may make it prevail over all other religions, no
matter how much the disbelievers detest it."
(Soorah as saff 61:9)
We are given the good tidings in this verse that the future is for
Islaam, which will gain dominance, ascendancy and rule over all other
religions. Some people may think that this was fulfilled in the time of
the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam and the Rightly guided
Khaleefahs (successors) and the righteous kings but that is not the
case. Rather, only a part of this true promise was fulfilled then as the
Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam indicated in his saying:
"Night and day will not pass away until al-Laat and al 'Uzzaa are
worshipped." So 'Aaishah radiallaahu 'anhaa said: O Messenger of
Allaah! I thought that when Allaah sent down: "It is He who has
sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, that He may
make it prevail over all other religions, no matter how much the
disbelievers detest it." that it would be complete. He
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"There will be of that what Allaah wishes" [2].
There are other ahaadeeth which show how far Islaam will reach and
dominate and how far it will spread, such that there is no doubt that
the future is for islaam, by the permission and favour of Allaah. So I
will quote what I am able to from these ahaadeeth and hopefully they
will strengthen the determination of the workers for Islaam; and be a
proof against those who are indifferent and those who have despaired!
Firstly: "Indeed Allaah gathered up the earth for me so that I saw
its east and its west; and indeed the dominion of my Ummah will reach
what was gathered up for me from it." [3]
And even clearer than it and more general is the hadeeth:
Secondly: "This affair will reach what is reached by the night and
the day; and Allaah will not leave a dwelling of brick, nor fur, except
that Allaah will cause this Deen to enter it bringing honour or
humiliation. Honour which Allaah gives to Islaam and humiliation which
Allaah will give to disbelief [4].
[Therefore, it is upon the Muslims to prepare themselves, by turning to
their Lord, holding on to His Book, following the Sunnah of His Prophet
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, turning away from all that Allaah has
made unlawful and uniting upon that which He the Most Perfect, Most High
is pleased with.] [5].
Indeed, there is no doubt that fulfillment of this domination
necessitates that the Muslims return to spiritual, material and armed
strength, so that they are able to overcome the might of kufr
(disbelief) and suppression. This good tiding is given to us in the
hadeeth:
Thirdly: From Abu Qabeel who said: We were with 'Abdullaah ibn 'Amr ibn
al 'Aas and he was asked which city will be conquered first
Constantinople or Rome? So 'Abdullaah called for a sealed trunk and he
said: Take out a book from it. Then 'Abdullaah said: Whilst we were with
the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam writing, The
Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was asked: Which city
will be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome? So Allaah's Messenger
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "The city of Heracilius will be
conquered first " meaning Constantinople.[6]
The first conquest mentioned, occurred at the hands of Muhammad al
Fattaah al-Uthmaanee as is well known and it occurred more than eight
hundred years after the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam foretold
of the conquest. So the second conquest will take place, by the
permission of Allaah the Most High and it is certain and you will hear
of it after a time. There is also no doubt that the fulfillment of the
second conquest necessitates the return of the rightly guided Khilaafah
to the Muslim Ummah, which is what he sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam
foretold with his saying in the hadeeth:
Fourthly: "Prophethood will remain amongst you for as long as
Allaah wishes it to, then Allaah will raise it up when He wishes to
raise it up. Then there will be Khilaafah upon the manner of Prophethood
and it will remain amongst you for as long as Allaah wishes it to, then
Allaah will raise it up when He wishes to raise it up. Then there will
be harsh kingship which will remain amongst you for as long as Allaah
wishes it to, then Allaah will raise it up when He wishes to raise it
up. Then there will be tyrannical kingship and it will remain amongst
you for as long as Allaah wishes it to, then Allaah will raise it up
when He wishes to raise it up. Then there will be Khilaafah upon the
manner of Prophethood. Then he was silent [7].
From the good tidings of the return of strength to the Muslims, and
their having the ability to utilize the earth to attain their goals, and
that they have a bright future even in the economic and agricultural
spheres, is his sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam's saying:
Fifthly: "The Hour will not be established until the land of the
'Arabs returns to being pastures and rivers." [8] The first signs
of the fulfillment of this hadeeth have begun to appear in some parts of
the Arab lands, upon which Allaah has poured forth His blessings and
great favors such that plentiful water is extracted from the desert, and
tomorrow is very near for the one who awaits it.
It must also be known that his sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam's saying:
"A time will not come upon you, except that which comes after it
will be worse until you meet your Lord." [9]. Then this hadeeth
must be understood in the light of the preceding ahaadeeth as well as in
the light of others such as the ahaadeeth about the Mahdee and also the
descent of Eesaa (Jesus) 'alayhis salaam which show that this hadeeth is
not to be understood as having no exceptions. Rather, it is general and
has exceptions.
Thus, it is not permissible to cause the people to understand it to be
unrestricted, so that they fall into despair which no Believer should
have as an attribute:
"Indeed, no one despairs of Allaah's Mercy, except those who
disbelieve."
(Soorah Yoosuf 12:87)
I ask that Allaah makes us all true Believers in Him.
