others so that every self can be repaid for its efforts. (Surah

Ta-Ha: 15)
Nobody can have knowledge of the Last Hour unless Allah
wills otherwise. However, one can make an estimate as to its centu-
ry based on the hadiths of the Prophet (saas) and signs in the

Qur’an, and say, “the Last Hour will come when there are no be-
lievers left and disbelief reigns.” As a matter of fact, the great ahl al-
Sunnah scholars al-Barzanji and as-Suyuti state, based on the hadith

of the Prophet (saas), that the life span of the Ummah will not ex-
ceed the Islamic year 1500, in other words it will end before Islamic
1600s. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi says, again according to the infor-
mation given in the hadith, that Muslims will remain on Allah’s

true path and will be victorious until around Islamic year 1506 with
the Last Hour probably taking place in 1545 (2120 according to the
Gregorian calendar).

There are many verses that tell of the Hour, and when we ex-
amine them we encounter a great truth. The time of the Hour is not
indicated in the Qur’an, but those events that will happen prior to it
are described. In one verse Allah relates that there are several signs
of the Hour:

What are they awaiting but for the Hour to come upon them
suddenly? Its Signs have already come. What good will

their Reminder be to them when it does arrive? (Surah
Muhammad: 18)
From this verse we learn that in the Qur’an Allah describes

signs that announce the coming of the Last Day. In order to under-
stand the signs of this “great announcement” we must reflect upon
these verses. Otherwise, as indicated in the verse, one’s thinking

will be of no use when the Last Day is suddenly upon one.
