Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming

87. Abandoning Salah (Prayers)

Hudaifa bin Yaman narrated that God's

Messenger (may God bless him and
grant him peace) said: Islam would ex-
tinquish just as the embroidery of a
fabric become worn-out so much so
that none would know… what prayer

is. (Sunan Ibn Majah)

The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) said: "One sign of
Doomsday is the abandonment of salah... At that time, O Salman! The
most wicked of all sins and irreligiousness will occur. People will abandon
salah and adhere to their lust. If you are alive during that period, perform
your prayers at their respective times." (Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam
al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, pp. 146-47)

People will encounter such a time that salah [prayers] will be abandoned,
buildings will be higher, oaths and curses will be everywhere, bribery and
adultery will spread, and the Hereafter will be exchanged
for this life. (Muhammad ibn `Abd al-
Rasul Barzanji, Al-
Isha`ah li Ashrat
as-Sa`ah, p. 157)
