After the Golden Age

When we read the accounts of the prophets in the Qur’an, we
see that an important Divine law governs all ages. Those societies
that reject the messenger Allah sent to them and fight against him

are destroyed, while those who subject themselves to the messen-
ger experience the material plenty and spiritual well being that
true religion brings. In the period following these messengers,
some societies then reject the true religion that was clearly com-
municated to them, and begin to associate partners with Allah.
Discord and conflict ensue. In fact, they have contributed to their
own disastrous end with their hands.

This law will surely be operative in the End Times. The
Prophet (saas) reveals that the Hour will come after the death of
the Prophet Jesus (as) and at the end of the Golden Age:

After him (the Prophet Jesus (as)) the Day of Judgment
will be but a matter of moments away.
(Ahmad Diya’al-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith)
The Day of Judgment will come after him
(the Prophet Jesus(as)).
(Ahmad Diya’al-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith)

Surely, the End Times and the Golden Age will be the peri-
ods in which a last warning will be given to humanity. A number
of hadiths highlight that there will be no good left in the world af-
ter this period. So, we see that, shortly after the Prophet Jesus’ (as)

death, all the peoples of the world, spoiled by the material abun-
dance of the Golden Age, will become wicked and reject true reli-
gion. We may state that it may be under such conditions that the
Hour will come, but, of course, only Allah knows.
