Page 14 - Signs Of The Last Day
P. 14
Some of that which was said by the Prophet (saas) which has
reached to us deals with the signs of the Hour. In these hadiths of
the Prophet (saas), there are both signs of the Hour and detailed
information about the period just preceding it. This period, in
which the signs of the Hour will occur, is called the “End Times.”
The matter of the End Times and of the signs of the Hour has at-
tracted much interest throughout the history of Islam; it has been
the subject of many works of Islamic scholars and researchers.
In the Qur'an, Almighty Allah has revealed that He will cause
Islamic moral values to prevail on earth. In his hadiths our
Prophet (saas), too, has stated that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be a
means whereby this great and holy event duly takes place in the
End Times. As a requirement of Qur'anic moral values, and as re
ported by our Prophet (saas), the rule of Islamic moral values will
be brought about with love. When Islamic moral values come to
prevail, the world will attain peace and security, and all forms of
disorder, conflict, anarchy and terror will come to an end.
Distressed by the disorder and oppression of the End Times, peo-
ple will be delighted with the justice, compassion, generosity, love
and interest of Hazrat Mahdi (as), who will cause Islamic virtues
to prevail on earth.
The glad tidings of the inevitable appearance of Hazrat
Mahdi (as) in the End Times is revealed as follows in the hadiths
of our Prophet (saas):
If just one day of the life of this world remains, Almighty
Allah will prolong it and someone from my Ahl al-Bayt will
come. His name will be like mine. His father's name will be
like my father's name. HE WILL FILL THE WORLD THAT
IS FULL OF OPPRESSION AND EVILS WITH JUSTICE
