Frankly I am grateful for every Muslim who just plain projects his beliefs about the Dajjal, the Mahdi, and the Signs of Qiyamah into the distant future and leaves me the #$@% out of it!
It's disgusting. I've done some reading about Islam but I hadn't come across this. Even more amazing is the fact that hardly anyone knows that at age 53 Mohammed married a six-year-old. It's in the Koran fer cryin' out loud.
For most people that should be all they need to know about Mohammed, which I suppose is why the media keeps silent on it. But we all know that Jerry Falwell is bad because he said that Mohammed was a terrorist.
Hey! I don't want to be a kafir!
The Prophet Muhammad(saw) prophecised events that marked the approaching and closeness of the Day of resurrection. These signs are classified as minor and major ones. The minor signs are further classified into three categories. These are those which will appear before the coming of the major signs, those which will appear during the happening of the major signs and those that will appear after the occurance of the major ones.
The very first major sign that indicates that closeness of the resurrection Day are the coming of Imam Al-Mahdi. His coming will be immediately followed by the Great War b/w Christians and Muslims in Syria and Anatolia.this event will be succeeded immediately by the appearance of the Jewish AntiChrist in the region b/w Syria and Iraq. The time span b/w the coming of Imam Al-Mahdi and the appearance of the Jewish Dajjal is about 9 months. Amongst the minor signs that preceed the coming of Imam Mahdi and the Jewish Dajjal, 95% of them have already come to pass. the reason why I am saying that there is a 90% chance that we shall see the Dajjal in our lifetime can be understood from the following sayings of the Prophet:
Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman reported that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam said, "Prophethood (meaning himself) will remain with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain, then Allah will raise it up wherever he wills to raise it up. Afterwards, there will be a Caliphate that follows the guidance of Prophethood remaining with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, He will raise it up whenever He wills to raise it up. Afterwards, there will be a reign of violently oppressive [The reign of Muslim kings who are partially unjust] rule and it will remain with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, there will be a reign of tyrannical rule and it will remain for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, Allah will raise it up whenever He wills to raise it up. Then, there will be a Caliphate that follows the guidance of Prophethood."
Then Hudhaifah said, "The Prophet stopped speaking." [As-Silsilah As-Sahihah, vol. 1, no. 5]
According to the above narration of the Prophet the Ummah or Islamic nation will pass through five stages. The first one is Prophethood, meaning the times when the Prophet was alive and lead the muslims. this has already come to pass.The second category that succeeded this stage was that of the rightly guided caliphate, meaning the reign of the 4 pious caliphs who ruled according to the Quran and the Sunnah.this era too has come to pass.This was followed by the reign of violently oppressive Muslim rulers who would rule partially unjust. This reign began from the era of Yazid ibn Muawiyah(It should be noted that this stage does not include the caliphate of Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufiyan for the Prophet said that the (pious)caliphate will last for 30 years--or so--and it would be succeeded by a merciful kingship afterwards God will give authority to whom ever he wishes[authentic narration reported by Dirami], and infact the pious caliphate did last for 30 years and so and the caliphate of Muawiyah was a mercy to the ummah) and included the caliphs of Banu Ummayah, Banu Abbas, Mamlukes and Ottomons with the exception of the pious Umar ibn Abdulaziz, Mahdi ibn Mansur and Sultan Mehmet al Fatih whose era did not face any opposition.
History is a witness that All of these 4 dyansty had a unique feature that was they assumed the rule on the entire muslim community, made the Quran and sunnah their sole reference/constitution but were partially unjust in their conducts and approached their opponents with violent oppression. This stage is succeeded by the era of rulers who are tyrannts and treat others with iniquity. Without doubt this stage includes our era for the Muslim nation is ruled by tyrannts who not only oppress and treat them harshly but have also replaced God's Law with man made laws which is the greatest of all trangressions. They promote and work for the interests of the enemies of the Islamic nation and keep the muslims divided and weak. This stage by the grace of God will be wiped out by the era of pious caliphate again which will be marked by the coming of Imam Mahdi. During that era God will grant victory and glory to muslims who will conquer the entire earth and make God's word supreme. The enemies of Islam will be wiped out and be eliminated. The Prophet said that Mahdi will come and will fill the earth with justice after it was filled with oppression and tyranny[an authentic narration]
Without any doubt the world is now filled with oppression and tyranny. From the social system to the political and economical arena, everything is conducted through self interest and trangression. The weak is mistreat by the strong and the poor are neglected and looted by the rich. Humanity is suffering everywhere from Palestine, Chechenya,Afghanistan, Kashmir to Iran, Iraq, India etc. Zionist's & their cronies' & other enemies of Islam's lies and their media, has coloured black to white and has decorated falsehood to truth , truth to falsehood and has made oppression and tyranny apprechiable and justified. Humanity is passing through a stage of dehumanization not seen in history. The Prophet said,"Islam started as a stranger and will return as a stranger". Allahu Akbar! dont we see that this is happening? How the ummah is totally unaware of its religion and its teachings? How they have abandoned its principles and instructions? Cant one not see how our societies have turned back to the days of Jahiliyyah?Our societies now match exactly how it was during the pre-Islamic era. this never happened before till the previous century. We have fallen back in large masses from morality, righteousness and virtue. We have accepted the system of the kuffar/infidels and have given their traditions priority over the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah. We have choosen darkness instead of light. As a result we have sunk low at all times and our current situation and helplessness is a proof of that.It is one of the minor signs that muslims will place Quran and verses of the quran in their houses only as decoration pieces and will not pounder and abiding by what is says.Cant we not see that this happening?Isnt the Quran getting more and more strange to us? As Islam began 1400 years ago in Makkah as a stranger in an era when humanity was sunk in ignorance and darkness, similarly it will appear as a stranger from the same place and will wipe out the pillars of injust and tyranny. This glorious era will be the era of Imam Mahdi. It will be soon inshallah very soon.
wa alikum as salaamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu ya Allah...SubhanAllah....what were the ayat and ad3iyah the messenger of Allah (saws) order the muslims ,who witness the time of the dajal, to hold onto ? I think it was the first 10 verses of surat al-kahf, right?!
I had been thinkin of the same thing lately subhanAllah...and was just talkin bout it to someone recently... another sign is the fact that he'll be forgotten on the manabir (meaning he won't be spoken bout in khutbaaz thus ppl will forget him)... SubhanAllah you know what I was thinkin bout when this whole war on Iraq thing started ...
there is this hadith where the rasoul (saws) said that an army from the west will attack the bilad al-sha'am (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan) and an army from Madina will come forth to protect them and when told that this isn't any of their concern they'll say we won't let you attack our brothers...and then Allah will accept one third of the army as the greatest shuhadaa and one third Allah will give victory (and they live yet never sin agine) and one third will Turn away (wal3yathubillah) and those Allah will never forgive! and upon their victory the Dajjal will emerge and they'll turn back to madinah ! (I'll check it out in the 40 Nawwai then inshAllah post it agine)
Forgive me coz I don't remember the exact words of the hadith but that was basically why when you look at this war on terror stuff you realize that today it's Iraq , then the rest of bilad al-shaa'am...thus I think we all should keep our eyes and ears on high alert for that blessed army...may Allah make us amongst that army and amongst the third whom are shuhadaa...InshAllah !
Newayz inshAllah someone post all the ayat plz.... jazakumllahu kahir in advance... and JazakAllahu khair for all the amazing threads akhie...May Allah increase you in Ilm, and reward you greatly for your wonderful posts. InshAllah
wa salaamu alikum wr wb your sister Flag_bearer

dear bro. salman the senario of muslims being the majority is not a condition for the Dajjal to appear. The true and honest muslims will be very few during and prior to his appearance. Most of them will die in the Malhamatul Kubra in Syria and another big chunck of them will flee to the mountains in order to remain secure from dajjal's terror(mishkatul masabeeh, vol.3).Once the prophet was asked that where would the arabs be during the time of Dajjal. The Prophet replied that they would be very few.[ibid.]

300 years? I think we have less than half of THIRTY years left before dajjal shows up to cause a ruckus.

I have heard from ulema that the coming of mahdi is very close. Some ulema have said their is a good chance of his appearnce in the next hajj or following hajj. Others are of the opinion within the next 14 years. However, Allah only knows exactly when mahdi will come. One thing however is pretty clear, we are living in the final century. 95% of the minor signs have come true and not much time remains. In fact a large number of ulema go to hajj every year now so as to be able to identify & give bait to imam mahdi when he appears. Another fact which I was informed about from elders was that Mahdi is alive now and will declare himself at the age of 40. May Allah give us the honour of giving bait to Imam Mahdi when he appears.

agreed but 1400 years ago day of judgement was near when the sahaba heard lightning they were afraid because they felt the day of judgement was here i ofcourse with the little knowledge i have cant give the exact date of the day of judgement but i say it will come in about 300 years
Great find, ganesha!!!
When this guy says "90%," in his mind he isn't guessing -- he has mathematical certitude that the Mahdi is coming.
The enemies of Islam will be wiped out and be eliminated.
Just ask John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo.
The debate about the 300 years vs. 15 years is a good example of how not every Muslim buys into the millennialism. We need more Muslims like salmandada.
Of course, a non-millennialist could also be a terrorist, and a millennialist may not be a terrorist. But the pool of Muslim millennialists are most suggestible group from which they can recruit their terrorists.
This is a battle between good and evil. I am just as passionate and confident that in the end, every knee will bow and confess the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
The Last Day
(49 Minutes 19 Seconds) - - Zahir Ahmed - 8/21/2001
A video about Judgment Day
You have to register with Islamicity to watch the whole video.
It's pretty much standard teaching on the End Times, but it does give a short synopsis of some Signs of Qiyamah and the death of the Dajjal (treated as an individual bad guy -- not as a nation or culture, as many imams do).
The video has a very creepy fascination with scryscrapers that make you think of 9/11.
And it does drop this nugget: that God does not judge the soul upon the body's death. All souls wait in abeyance for judgment on Judgment Day at the End of Time -- that is, unless you're a martyr! Martyrs go immediately to Paradise upon death of the body, and do not have to wait in trepidation for Judgment Day like everybody else!
Why stand in line when you can go through the Express Checkout?
Actually whomever came up with Left Behind, must have been reading the Hadith of Muhammad (SAW) who was here centuries before your silly little Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins except they added lies and rhetoric to it.
I'm sorry, but you're wrong.
The "red heifer" is parah 'adummah, literally, "red cow." Parah (cow) is the feminine of par (bull). You obviously have no knowledge of Hebrew and are relying on some "higher critical" source.
There are words that refer to "herd animals" as a collective singular (tzo'n, miqneh, behemah, and others), but the parah 'adummah is a red cow.
Then you have to consider that the Oral Torah fills in all the details, specifying everything about the animal for it to qualify. Of course, if you reject the Oral Torah (either out of a "sola scriptura" or a higher critical viewpoint) that won't mean much to you. But it's true nonetheless, whether or not it contradicts your assumptions.
