Page 16 - Signs Of The Last Day
P. 16
The purpose of this present book is to examine the signs of
the Hour through the verses of the Qur’an and hadiths of the
Prophet (saas), and to show that these signs have begun to appear
in our present time. The fact that the advent of these signs was re-
vealed fourteen centuries ago should increase a believer’s faith in
Allah and his devotion to Him. The following pages have been
written keeping in mind our Lord’s promise: “Say: Praise be to
Allah. He will show you His Signs and you will recognize
them…” (Surat an-Naml: 93)
There is one particularly important point though that we
would like to draw the reader’s attention to: Allah knows the truth
about everything. As with all things, what we know about the end
of the world comes only from what He has revealed to us.
All the Signs Our Prophet (saas)
Foretold in the Hadiths Have Come
about in This Century
In the words of one hadith;
People will gather around Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the year 1400.
(Risalat al-Khuruj al-Mahdi, p. 108)
The Prophet (saas) explicitly states that Hazrat Mahdi (as)
will appear in Hijri 1400. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, the greatest
Islamic scholar of the last 1000 years, reveals in his collected works
that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in Hijri 1400:
[They] suppose[d] A FACT THAT WOULD OCCUR IN
THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD ONE THOUSAND FOUR
HUNDRED YEARS LATER to be close to their century.
