following this period of progression, that will last for approxi-

mately 100 years, the world will again find itself in a phase of de-
generation, around the 1500s according to the Islamic calendar. In
one hadith narrated by many scholars, including Imam Ahmad
Ibn Hanbal, a great Ahl al-Sunnah hadith and Islamic jurispru-

dence scholar, our Prophet (saas) provides important information
about the beginning of a calendar in human history by saying that
5600 years had passed up until his own day:

Ahmad Ibn Hanbal transmitted in his 'Ilal:

FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED YEARS HAVE
PASSED FROM THIS WORLD. (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-

Mahdi Akhir al-zaman, p. 89)
Hadiths are narrated from the Prophet (saas) referring to the
life span of the world being 7000 years:

Anas Ibn Malik narrates that the Messenger of Allah (saas)
said: THE LIFE SPAN OF THE WORLD IS SEVEN DAYS

IN THE DAYS OF THE HEREAFTER. Almighty Allah has
said: ONE DAY IN THE SIGHT OF YOUR LORD IS LIKE
A THOUSAND OF YOUR YEARS. Allah will ASCRIBE
THE EQUIVALENT OF GOOD DEEDS OF THE SEVEN

THOUSAND YEARS OF THE AGE OF THIS WORLD to
the one who meets the need of any of his brothers in the faith

on the path of Allah as if he spends his days in fasting and his
nights in worship. (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-za-
man, p. 88)

Narrated from Daqqaq Ibn Zaid al-Juhani:
I told the Messenger of Allah (saas) of a dream I had had. In

that dream the Messenger of Allah (saas) was at the top step
