Page 71 - Signs Of The Last Day

Obviously, that period indicated by the Prophet (saas) de-
scribes conditions in our day. If we look at past centuries, we see
that the difficulties and anxiety brought about by drought, war
and other calamities were temporary and limited to a particular

region. However, today, the poverty and difficulty of earning a
living are permanent and endemic.
Certainly, our Lord has endless compassion and mercy; He
does not wrong people. But, because of the ungratefulness of hu-

manity, and the evil it has committed, poverty and anxiety have
been institutionalized. Indeed, this sorry state of affairs shows
clearly that the world is stratified on a basis of selfishness and
greed rather than on religion, moral values and conscience.

Economic crisis is one of the signs of

the Day of Judgment

The economical crisis that began in 2007 and aggravated in
2008 and 2009 and that is expected to last until 2014 is one of the

signs that the Prophet (saas) informed us. Some of the hadiths re-
garding this crisis that caused the unemployment of hundreds of
people, the poverty to climax and bankruptcy of hundreds of
firms and even countries are as follows:

The convergence of bazaar and market is a sign of the
End Times. What does the convergence of bazaars
mean? It means: Everyone will complain of low earn-
ings.... (from Ibn Marduwayh Abu Huraira (ra)...)
(Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 146)
