Page 18 - The End Times and the Mahdi

Along with this, also in October 2009, there has been a
development which points out to this event mentioned in
the verse. NASA, who has been carrying on searches on the
Moon for finding water, bombed the Moon and with the ef-
fect of this strike, a dust cloud weighing 350 tons formed.
That means, the surface of the Moon split for another time.
As Allah reveals in the Qur'an, the Moon is split when the
time of the "Hour," the coming of the Prophet Jesus (as), the
appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as), the appearance of
Dabbat al-Ardh approached. As is seen, this verse refers to
these events besides the miracle of the splitting of the
Moon, vouchsafed by Allah to our Prophet (saas).

The signs described by the Prophet
(saas) are occurring one after the other

In the hadiths that have come down to us from the
Prophet (saas), news is given concerning the End Times
and the Golden Age of Islam. When we compare these
signs with the events that are taking place in our time, we
can see many indications that we are living through the
End Times and which also herald the arrival of the Golden
Age of Islam.
The hadiths in the coming sections of this book contain
such information given by the Prophet (saas) in this regard.
One very significant evidence proving that these ha-
diths are authentic, trustworthy and correct, is that all
these signs referred to in the hadiths have taken place one
after the other in the last 30 years since Hijri 1400. The re-
alization of the incidents mentioned in these hadiths con-
firms the authenticity of these hadiths, as also expressed by
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. 1
