Signs that will Precede Imam Mahdi
Submitted by : k.ibrahim on Strugle
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. The Sure Reality! 2. What is the Sure Reality? 3. And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?
4. The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!
5. But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
6. And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;
7. He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down!
8. Then seest thou any of them left surviving? }
On the authority of Abu 'Amr, though others call him Abu 'Amrah Sufyan bin 'Abdullah,
radiyallahu anhu
, who said:
I said: "Ya Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam), tell me something about Islam which I
could not ask anyone about save you." He answered: "Say: 'I believe in
Allah', and then stand firm and steadfast."(Istiqamah)
The literal meaning of "Istiqamah": to go straight into the right direction, acting rightly, allowing
no deviation. It is derived from the stem "Qiyyam", which implies the continuity of doing
something, following up with it and making sure that it is done in the right way and there is
neither deviation nor swerving.
The term has been used by the Qur'an in many verses. Allah the Almighty says:
"Therefore, stand firm (on the straight path) as you are commanded and those who turn in
repentance with you. And do not transgress, for He (Allah) sees well all that you do."
[Surah Hud (11): ayat 112]
Ibnu Abbas said that this verse was the hardest and most difficult verse of the Qur'an on the
Prophet,
sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam.
Indeed it is a difficult task to achieve Istiqamah, hence, the Prophet,
sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam,
said; "Be straight on the path or be close to it."
In another verse, Allah the Almighty says:
"So unto this (religion) invite (the people). Stand steadfast as you are commanded and do not
follow their desires…"
[Surah al-Shura' (42): ayat 15]
Based on these two verses, it can be inferred that Istiqamah is to stand firm and steadfast to
what we have been commanded by Allah, i.e. to fulfill obligations and to avoid prohibitions.
Also, we should not allow ourselves to follow or be mislead by desires (whether it is our desires
or the desires of others) as it will cause deviation and lead us astray.
According to Ibn al-Qayyim, there are five conditions to achieve Istiqamah in performing
required deeds:
1. The act should be done for the sake of Allah alone
(ikhlas).
2. It should be done on the basis of knowledge
('ilm).
3. Performing
ibadah should be in the same manner that they have been commanded.
4. To do it in the best way possible.
5. Restricting oneself to what is lawful while performing those deeds.
According to other scholars of
suluk, i.e. behavior, there are certain steps to be followed in order
to achieve Istiqamah:
1. Always being aware of the final destination, i.e. the Day of Judgment (Akhirah). And to
use this awareness in a positive way as a motive to do good deeds. One way to do it is
through remembering that a person's journey towards Akhirah starts the minute he / she
passes away and leaves this world. One of the Salafs said: "If you live until the morning
do not wait for the evening and if you live until the evening do not wait for the
morning."
2. Commitment (Musharatah). One has to make a commitment that he/she will be
steadfast and will do things in the right way and in the best way possible, and to adhere
to conjunctions of Islam. Unfortunately many Muslims are being lenient in making such
a commitment.
3. To make continuous efforts (Mujahadah) to bring that commitment to reality. Some
Muslims dare to make the commitment, but dare not to make the effort to make the
commitment a reality.
4. Continuous checking and reviewing of one's deeds (Muraqabah). Being honest with
oneself so as not to give false excuses for failing to fulfill a commitment
5. Self accountability (Muhasabah). This should be done twice: Firstly, before we start
doing something, ensuring that it pleases Allah, that we do it for His sake only, realizing
the right way it should be done. Secondly, after the action has been done, to check
whether we have achieved what we aimed for, and to check for defects and
shortcomings, and that we still could have done it better by not being satisfied with our
action.
6. Blaming oneself for not doing it perfectly after it has been done. Self blaming here is a
positive one by using it as a motive, and by aiming for improvement and having the
intention of doing things better next time. This leads to making another commitment
and continual commitments to improve our performance.
7. Striving for improvement (Tahsin). We have to make improvements in all that we do
(daily activities, work, actions, good deeds,
ibadah, etc.) as one of our objectives.
8. To be humble towards Allah, realizing that no one is perfect except Him, seeking His
forgiveness, guidance and support.
It should be emphasized that these steps/conditions apply to worldly matters as well as
ibadah
and good religious deeds.
Factors that
lead to the weakening of Istiqamah include:
1. Committing sins
(ma'siah), insisting on repeating them again and again, without istighfar
(seeking Allah's forgiveness) and without practicing repentance.
2. Shirk (associating anything with Allah) whether in intentions, by showing off our good
deeds to others, seeking others' appraisal, avoiding being blamed by others, being afraid
of someone, or to seek rewards from others than Allah. This part of shirk is also called
riyya'
or showing off. All these lead to deviation in Istiqamah, and when these stimuli are
not there, the person's work is not perfect any more and it is not done in the best way
possible.
3. Nifaq (hypocrisy). There are two forms of
nifaq: in belief and in action. The Muslim who
surrenders totally to the will of Allah and accept Islam based on his/her choice is free
from the first form of hypocrisy. However any Muslim is subject to and should avoid the
second form of
nifaq which the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, warned us about: Not
keeping promises and breaking them continuously without good reasons or excuses, not
fulfilling commitments we make with others, being aggressive and unjust to others in
quarrels, and disputes, failing to shoulder responsibilities/burdens we are entrusted with,
etc. All these bad qualities should be avoided since they lead to the weakening of our
Istiqamah.

4.
Bida'ah (innovations in
ibadah), whether genuine bida'ah (performing ibadah which has not
been ascribed by Shariah, i.e. revelation), or relative
bida'ah (failing to observe the
requirements of doing
ibadah - the five criteria discussed in Hadith 5), will lead to
decreasing the quality of good action or
ibadah.
There are other factors that also contribute to the weakening of Istiqamah, such as: recklessness,
reluctance, heedlessness, being overwhelmed by a deceiving enjoyment, and being mislead by
self interests and desires.
Applying the above mentioned steps and requirements pinpointed by scholars will help in
overcoming all these obstacles and barriers.
Istiqamah is an important Islamic concept. Its significance can be seen where every Muslim is
required to recite Surah al-Fatihah at least seventeen times each day seeking continual guidance
to the straight path from Allah.
{All these things could not occur or exists except by the Will and the permission of ALLAH}What every ALLAH Will's, will happen and what every ALLAH Will's Not, will not happen.Having the ability to turn away from sin, and Having the ability for devotion is from ALLAH alone! the Exalter,the Great.I Believe that ALLAH(subhana wa ta ala) is able to do althings and ALLAH's(subhana wa ta ala) knowledge encompass althings. 'La Haula wala Quwwata il-la bil-lah.'
{There is neither strength nor power except with Allah}
Four Components of Qadr
Al-'Ilm (Knowledge) - The belief that Allah (SWT) knows all things, in general and in detail, from eternity to eternity, whether that has to do with His actions or the actions of His slaves. Allah (SWT) says "Truly, nothing is hidden from ALLAH, in the earth or in the heavens" [3:5].
Kitab (Writing) - The belief that Allah (SWT) has written everything, which will happen until the day of judgement due to His knowledge, in al-Lawh al-Mahfooz (Book of Decrees, preserved in heaven). Allah (SWT) says "Know you not that Allaah knows all that is in the heaven and on the earth? Verily, it is (all) in the Book (al-Lawh al-Mahfooz). Verily, that is easy for Allaah" [22:70].
Mash'eeah (Will) - The beliefe that nothing happens or does not happen without the will of Allah (SWT). Allah (SWT) says "He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He wills" [3:5] and "and Allaah does what He wills" [14:27] and "And your Lord creates whatsoever He wills and chooses" [28:68]
Al-Khalq (Creation) - The beliefe that Allah (SWT) created everything. Allah (SWT) says "He has created everything, and has measured it exactly according to its due measurements" [25:2] and "Allaah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakeel (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all things" [39:62].
Signs that will Precede Imam Mahdi. Centuries have passes from the time of Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam)and there is a good possibility that this is the Time for the Mahdi to appear.
Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam)said: "Even if the entire duration of the world's existence has already been exhausted and only one day is left (before the day of judgment), Allah will expand that day to such a length of time, as to accommodate the kingdom of a person from my Ahlul-Bayt who will be called by my name. He will fill out the earth with peace and justice as it will have been full of injustice and tyranny (by then)."
signs of appearance , Imam Mahdi (a.s)in this time every kinds of Evils will be widespread injustice and oppression and total absence of peace and security in such a way that fear, terror, calamities, wickedness,filth, corruption, mischief and ignorance will dominate human society,as it is now, The people shall do anything for the sake of the world and they shall compete with each other to see who can commit the biggest sin and the great evil and in their view sin would is considered good on one hand,and on the other hand any thing good is considered bad. Islam will be like it was in the beginning, would be not unknown( but strange) to the people in the Present day.And the Kingdoms of the great oppressors of the world is subjugate Muslims and their reputation and economic sources is being taken. Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam)has prophesied about several events that will occur just before the advent of the day of judgment. Among these, Rasulullah(sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) has foretold the advent of one of his descendants, Al Mahdi (the guided one), which will appear when the believers are severely oppressed in every corner of the world in that time when the most brutal tyranny is at it strongest,it is at this time that the Prayer for the Help of ALLAH, to send the Mahdi will be on the Lips of every muslim, every Believeing muslim! everyone!. He will fight the oppressors, unite the Muslims, bring peace and justice to the world, rule over the Arabs, and lead a prayer in Mekkah at which Isa(alayhi salaam) (Jesus) will be present. Following are some traditions in this regard: Abu Saeed Khudri has narrated that Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam)said, “After me mischiefs will arise and Ihlas (Addiction) is one of them. And in it is war and flight and after that also mischiefs will arrive in such a way that for every age it would be said that another mischief has ended in the same way it will move forward and these mischiefs will enter each and every center of the family of all Arabs and Muslims till a man from my progeny will appear"This tradition proves that tribulations, bloodshed, calamities and horrible events would surround the Islamic and non-Islamic countries and the life of all Arabs and Muslims. Abu Saeed Khudri narrated that Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said, “In the Last Age, severe tribulations would afflict my community from their rulers and kings such that they have not heard of more severe atrocities and the earth shall become constricted for them and become filled with injustice and oppression and the faithful believer would have no place of refuge from those oppressions. At that time, Almighty Allah would send a man from my progeny who would fill the earth with justice and equity and all inhabitants of the earth and heavens would be satisfied and happy and the earth would spew out its treasures and the sky would shower its blessings
When will the Help of ALLAH come? the Help of ALLAH will only come when we change our Hearts towards obedience to ALLAH! and when we change our Hearts.
In this lies a great secret from the secrets of Tawheed. This is that the heart cannot become firm, it cannot find satisfaction and it cannot find tranquillity except by reaching out to ALLAH and Him alone. Everything that is loved and desired besides ALLAH then it must be desired for other than ALLAH sake. The One Who is desired, the One Who is beloved in and of Himself, with Whom all matters find their final goal is only one ALLAH. It is impossible that the final goal be to two destinations just as it is impossible that the beginning of the creation be from two sources. Tawhid ar-Rububiyah), which means to believe that all creation, sovereignty and planning belong to Allah (SWT). When Allah (SWT) created everything He (SWT) determined when each thing would come into existence and when it would perish. He (SWT) also determined everything's qualities and their nature. Therefore, nothing happens or exists without His permission. (surah 40:1-5) (1)Ha Mim (2)The revelation of this Book is from Allah, Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge,- (3)Who forgiveth sin, accepteth repentance, is strict in punishment, and hath a long reach (in all things). there is no god but He: to Him is the final goal. (4)None can dispute about the Signs of Allah but the Unbelievers. Let not, then, their strutting about through the land deceive thee! (5)But (there were people) before them, who denied (the Signs),- the People of Noah, and the Confederates (of Evil) after them; and every People plotted against their prophet, to seize him, and disputed by means of vanities, therewith to condemn the Truth; but it was I that seized them! and how (terrible) was My Requital!
"And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine." [al-Talaaq 65:2-3]obedience is abiding by the orders of Allah and avoiding His prohibitions. Allah is The Creator, The Commander. So, all people should do what He orders. Allah says: { ………His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed be Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists)!}the obedience of Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) it means as Al-Qadi Eyadh said: 'The obedience of Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam)means the adherence to his Sunnah and the full execution of what he established.' This obedience is compulsory on every pubescent Muslim just like the obedience of Allah. Allah says: {He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), has indeed obeyed Allâh, ……..} [4:80] [7:54] The Mahdi will come at a time when Muslims will have become disunited and where tyranny and corruption will have prevailed.The situation will be so bad that a person would wish he was not born or that if someone died he would wish that it was him. The Social Factors. The dajjal will not appear(will not come out in the open) until the people have forgotten him, As long as there is some one reminding the people that the dajjal is secretly present among the Muslims, that he the dajjal is present in america,that he the dajjal is in Houston,tx. and we are pointing at the masjid where he is, and the socall muslim people they are acting like they do not want to acknowledge the existence,the reality,the truth of the dajjal's secret presents ,they act as if they do not see him they are his followers and spporters.praying in the same masjid where the dajjal is, you are changed can not see it. O believeing muslims among the pretenders we must rejected the dajjal and his followers, he the dajjal is the enemy of ALLAH and the enemy of mankind.
the DAJJAL has appear secretly among the Muslim. Most of the signs prevalent before he the DAJJAL came. can now be observed. One thing though is for certain, we are unfortunate to be witnessing the appear of the Anti-Christ, Before the Anti-Christ appears(in the open) we have been told there shall be a SYSTEM, a DAJJAL- system, that is up and running, at this very present time, that is awaiting for his open arrival. This DAJJAL-system, will be the most evil and most corrupt satanic, kaafir force in history. This system shall promote mass immorality (Homosexuality, Adultery, Fornication), Atheism, Devil-worship, use of USURY, Intoxication, (Alcohol & Drug abuse), Crime, Injustice, Oppression, Fitnah of the Pen (Pornography magazines etc.), cause wars, Famine, Massacres, Rape and suffering on an immeasurable scale.we are living in such a system, in such a society, a technical Atheists homosexuals society or system. The DAJJAL-system is of course as we know is FREEMASONRY Every single position in the United Nations, The EEC and every position in the British Parliament is held by people who are Freemasons. Freemasonry has something in the region of 700,000 members in England and Wales, yet the British public hardly know anything about them. Freemasons secretly worship a Satan, known as JAHBULON, If you do not believe me (see pages 230-240 of the International best selling book on Freemasonry “The Brotherhood”, “Satanic Voices”, These same people, these Freemasonry are Over many of the masjids in america,they sit in the masjids with their arms folded tight! as if they are the Masters of the Muslims, these Masons they are the Enemy and anyone who join them are the Enemy! We the Muslims, we the Believing muslims,we have only one Master and He is ALLAH alone!,who created the Heavens and the Earth! we do not associat any thing with Him. and we do not have any other masters! So you kufaaras going to have to find some other place to go! These Houses,these Masjids are for the worship of ALLAH!Alone! ,(Qur'an 9:107-108)(107)And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity - to disunite the Believers - and in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; But Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars.(108)Never stand thou forth therein. There is a mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more worthy of the standing forth (for prayer) therein. In it are men who love to be purified; and Allah loveth those who make themselves pure. Some of these masjids are government installation they were not established for the worship of ALLAH but as Spy center where there is a thousand cameras watching everything that the Muslims people say and do! and the people that are over these masjids are trained agents pretending to be muslims, and around these Spy center right down the street, (is the head quarters) If these kuffara spys want to build a new spy center they should go and ask their Israely bosses in occupied Palestine for the money and stop asking the muslims. Asking the Muslims people to pay for a spy center,where they,themselves are going to be spyed on! These spys they were put in strategic positions years ago,so that when the Muslims world would started to change and the dajjal would secretly appear then they would be in charge of everything, there is no doubt that this is the case!these Spys,these kuffaras as a collective body They have travel from every corner of the World and from every corner of the Muslim World,the call was made years ago, just like when Pharaoh called all the magicians in egypt to come to him, So they called every Fake,every phoney, Every hypocrites,and every ignorance kaffara pretending to be a muslim; and every magician and Sorcer to come and serve and worship the Enemy of ALLAH, the real(The Anti-Christ) dajjal ,These are the same people that the Governments from around the World use as their secret agents against Islam, they the agents of the dajjal ,they speak arabic,but they are not arab,they speak every Language that the Muslims speak but they are not muslim, they are the Enemies of ALLAH, pretending to be Muslims. these are the Kinds of Evils that the Mahdi will have to face.we the believing muslims fear that by the time that the Mahdi and Isa( return that the whole of humanity wil be Lost. It just took a Little time and so many Evils have become dominic influence in the World, and people have given themselves to it willy.The darkness has spreaded all over the world, and the Evil forces and their influence are starting to become the dominic influence in the lives of the humanity. THE PEOPLE WILL have FEAR OF BEING SLAIN BEFORE THE COMING OF THE Mahdi, they will suffer losses of goods, lives and assets. Allah writes this clearly in His book. He then added this verse: “We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger and loss of wealth and life and fruits. But give good news to the steadfast. . He has given them place in the holy abode... After terrible troubles and scourges, fear and FAMINE, ALLAH will ELIMINATE ALL SORROW from the hearts of those who love Him And also who Love for His Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam)and the Ahl al-Bayt (People of the House) and the Sahabah. How happy those who live in that time will be! 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 earnings....”In a hadith narrated by Naim ibn Hammad from ibn Masud, the period preceding the appearance of the Mahdi is described as “the time when TRADE and roads are CUT and strife increases.” The hadith goes on to report that this will come to an end in the time of the Mahdi:
We the Believeing muslims are not waiting for a superman to fly across the sky and save us, It is only ALLAH! who can save us,and our believe in ALLAH alone, that can save us, It is only the words of ALLAH that can save us, it is our sincerity in following the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi was salam) that can save us, We are waiting for that one called the Mahdi who Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi was salam) spoken about and described his characteristics in the Hadith,that would come just before the Descension of Isa(alayhi salam),that would be a inspiration to the Hearts of the Believers,that would inspired us to be stronger believeing muslims.
The words about the al-Mahdi, as recounted in the sunnah, that which was foretold of hope where the struggle between Haqq and Baatil results in the believers gaining victory over the disbelievers, where the earth is filled with peace and justice due to the Mercy of ALLAH,that He sent a just ruler the al-Mahdi. It is narrated by Abu Said al-Khudri (ra) that Rasulallah ??? ???? ???? ???? said:
"At the end of the time of my ummah,the Mahdi will appear. Allah will grant him rain, the earth will bring forth its fruits, he will give wealth in abundance, cattle will increase and the ummah will become great." (Reported by al-Haakim in his Mustadrak, 4/557-558).
that which was foretold of mahdi is one that encourages the believers to work for the unity of Muslims and the justice of Islam via the establishment of the Khilafah and the application of the Shariah as the believer knows that one day the whole world will be enlightened by the light of Islam and falsehood shall vanish. But until that day comes we must take encouragement from the bashaarat (glad tidings) of Rasulallah ??? ???? ???? ???? and strive and work for Islam following the Sunnah of Rasulallah ??? ???? ???? ????.
The entire secular world (Jews/Freemasons, Atheist, Christians, Hindus, the Munafiqeen, the whole of Kuffaar shall fall under the banner of the Anti-Christ, against Islam this is taking place at this very moment. It may also surprise you to know that all Christian Organizations are Masonic Institutions. About 60% of the Archbishops are Freemasons and secretly practice Devil-worship (see above mentioned books). If you want to know if a church is being used as a Masonic-Temple, then look on the stained glass windows for a Masonic symbol such as ‘a snake and a dagger, or a star of David ‘. If the church is in the shape of a Greek Temple, then it is definitely used for Masonic purposes. In Liverpool, the Roman Catholic cathedral has many Pyramids, Masonic symbols. There may be much fear about DAJJAL,Islam is only force strong enough to stand between him(the dajjal) and the total world domination. but the final victory has been promised to the Muslims. whereby every Evil force will have to faces the justice of is Islam.The whole Earth shall be cleansed of Kuffaar once and for all. what did Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) say about DAJJAL (The greatest Fitnah (Evil, test)) that will befall mankind.
Imraan Bin Hussain (RA) relates that I heard Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) saying : “That since the creation of Adam (AS) till the advent of Qiyamah (Judgement day), there is no Fitnah (Evil, test) much greater than that of DAJJAL” (MUSLIM).
DAJJAL will emerge out in the open from a place between Syria and Iraq, and his open emergence will become known when he is in Isfahaan at a place called Judea (Yahudea). He will be of Jewish origin. He will have caused his Jewish parents much distress and pain. The Jews will accept him as ‘ The Messiah’ and become his main followers. He will also have a great number of women followers as well.
The topic of the signs of the emergence is a complicated one and calls for a thorough investigation of all the related narrations. However, in brief, the signs fall under two categories. One group consists of those signs which will certainly occur, foreshadowing the emergence: the rebellion of Sufyani, the rebellion of Yamani, the burst of a heavenly cry, the murder of an innocent soul, the sinking of the army of Sufyani into the desert ground, the rebellion of Dajjal. But from another perspective, the signs can be categorized into four groups:
1. The social signs: that is, to put it in a nutshell, those social phenomena whose upshot would be the downfall of the then perverted human civilization.
2. The religious and Ideological signs: which constitute the collapse and distortion of the Divine religion. O Muslim People! O believeing muslims! it is time to consider making Hijrah(Migration)from the west to the East,the Dream has turned in to a Nightmare,but for some it has alway been a nightmare!Some People are talking about Poverty and some people are talking about economic, but the truth of the Matter is that this declined, this deteriorate stared a long time ago, when they Passed a Law and removed prayer from the schools, So now we are living in a technical Atheists homosexuals society and this is the kind of society that the dajjal wanted to see develop,this is his ideal of a free and perfect society,where the most wicked of men can do as they please,with no restriction,where the more wicked a person is in public the higher his rank ,where the more cruel a person is the Higher his rank in the society, when a people turn toward wickedness and turned away from ALLAH, from the Guidance of ALLAH, from the the Light(Nur) of ALLAH,they become insignificant in the Eyes of ALLAH.
Imam Ahmad said: al-Waleed ibn Muslim related to us; that Safwaan ibn ’Amr related to us; that ‘Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Jubayr ibn Nufayr related; from his father, who said:
“When Cyprus was conquered and its people were dispersed and they started weeping to each other, I saw Abud-Dardaa sitting alone and weeping. So I said to him: O Abud-Dardaa! What makes you weep on this day that Allaah has granted strength and honor to Islaam and its people? So he said: Woe be to you O Jubayr! How insignificant the creation becomes to Allaah when they turn away from His command. In front of us is a nation who were evidently powerful and who had dominion, yet they abandoned Allaah’s command, so look what has become of them.”
[2] ‘Alee ibn al-Ja’d said: Shu’bah ibn ‘Amr ibn Murrah informed us; I heard Abul-Bukhtaree say:I was informed by someone, who heard Rasulallah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) saying:
“The people will not perish, until they have no excuse left for themselves.” To summarize, the appearance of these factors represent the downfall of the then misguided human society. .The Natural Signs: changes such as alterations in the constellations,such as the sun riseing from the west. Also among the signs heralding the emergence of the Imam (?) are the natural disasters mentioned in the narrations; such as the [prodigious] lightning of the End of Time; lunar and solar eclipses which will occur outside their natural timeframe; changes in the constellations and the atmospheric conditions (in water, air, sunrise, sunset, etc.). And of course these narrations are capable of being understood in relation to certain events that are taking place in this age,.
. Some of these factors are as follows:
1. The prevalence of injustice all over the world, or in other words, the universality and globalization of injustice. these kind of things can only Exist in this time.(the time of the dajjal)
2. The perversion of rulers. It is imperative to note that what is meant by universal injustice and perversion of rulers is that the political regimes that is governing the world are founded on social, political, cultural, and economic injustice, and hence the rulers is exercise their power based on a spirit of domination, imperialism, and despotism. And This way of ruleing has Brought on it slow destruction, Now The Tyrannical Ruleship itself is being Lifting up,being taked away from the Earth, It should not be inferred that just individuals or regimes would be nonexistent, but that the prevalent system of governance would be that of injustice.
3. Inflation and economic instability which are the concomitants of an unjust system.
4. The appearance of charlatans and Dajjal-like characters who will claim to be social reformers. The advent of Dajjal is one of the indisputable signs of the emergence to which all previous religions have also alluded. Dajjal literally means one who covers truth with falsehood and deceit. It is likely however, based on the signs mentioned in the narrations, that Dajjal is not a proper name of a single person rather it is a general title for all devious and deceitful individuals and regimes who deceive the masses and bar the path of truth. Some scholars have interpreted Dajjal as being a reference to contemporary Western society,TheWestern society was design to accommodate the dajjal. 5. Charlatan and debased individuals will become speakers of their societies. Incompetent individuals will have authority in their societies.
6. Righteous and honest people will be put aside and replaced by dishonest and boastful characters.
7. The rebellion of Sufyani in Syria, has already starded,The situation has grown increasingly dire since Assad's(Sufyani) regime began a violent crackdown in March 2011, with The situation in Syria is getting worse with thousands of deaths being inflicted on the population.
However, regarding the question of whether Sufyani refers to a specific individual and regimes, there is a definite answer. But what is clear is that the name signifies an individual and regimes that is Cruel, brutal,oppressive, capitalist, predatory,backward, and which (or who) propagate superstitions. Their distinctive trait is their willingness to murdered and spread mischief and to demoralize communities. The narrations prophesy that Sufyani and his army will vanish into the ground in the desert of Bayda’—an area between Mecca and Medina—and only one person will survive, the one who will spread the news.[238]
8. War, hypocrisy, and bloodshed will take over.
9. Revolutions will erupt in an effort to fight global oppression and corruption, some of which will succeed in organizing new governments. The rebellion and movement of Yamani, which is a symbol of the struggle of truth against deviation at the End of Time, will be one such uprising. , firstly, invite the people to Islam and the path of the Ahlul Bayt (?) and will, secondly, clear its territory—which will extend to Kufah—from injustice and corruption and will join forces with and obey the Imam (?) when he emerges.
b. Religious and ideological factors
That is, the collapse and perversion of religion. It has been narrated from the Commander of the Believers, Imam ‘Ali b. Abi Talib (?) that at the End of Time prayer will be abandoned; trusts will be dishonoured; lying will be considered permissible; usury will become prevalent; bribery will be all-encompassing; religion will be relinquished in favour of the material life; women’s counsel will be sought; family bonds will be severed; people will become licentious; murder will acquire normalcy; patience will be counted as a weakness; injustice will be prided on; the people of knowledge will be treacherous; the reciters of the Qur`an will be perverse; the mosques will be embellished and the minarets built high [but without the spirituality that is their substance]; promises will be broken; and desires will be ever diverse [and conflicting].
To put it more generally, the precepts of Islam will be neglected. However, this neglect will be relative; that is, it would be the prevalent mood of human society at the time. This is to such an extent that it has been related that when the Imam (?)Emerges! he will emerges as a stranger. In the time of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi was salam) It was asked, "Who are those strangers, Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi was salam)?" He replied, "Those that correct the people when they become corrupt." [Reported by Abu Amr al-Dani, from the hadith of ibn Masoud. It is authentic according to al-Albani. Another narration says, "Those that correct my sunnah which has been corrupted by the people after me."] The Imam will not bring a new way, but is Islam would have become strang, Allah says in the Qur’an, "If only there had been, in the generations preceding you, people having wisdom, prohibiting others from evil in the earth; except a few of those whom we have saved from among them." (Hud 116).
This verse speaks of the few people on earth, the "strangers", who prohibit mankind from evil. These are the same people Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi was salam)spoke about when he said, "Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange,the Imam will not bring a new book, The Nur (Light)of the Quran, that is Burning in his Heart and the Hearts of the Believers will be the Inspiration that will Revitalize the spirit of islam, A light(The Nur) so bright and a Spirit so strong that it will seen almost new!The Imam will not bring a new religion.{ ISLAM is enough!} Enlightened that will revitalize the spirit of Islam; meaning that Islam will be so contaminated with superstitions, the Qur`an so assailed with conceptual distortions [i.e. false interpretations] that their reality and inner truth will have been forgotten.
c. Natural factors
Also among the signs heralding the emergence of the Imam (?) are the natural disasters mentioned in the narrations; such as the [prodigious] lightning of the End of Time; lunar and solar eclipses which will occur outside their natural timeframe; changes in the constellations and the atmospheric conditions (in water, air, sunrise, sunset, etc.). And of course these narrations are capable of being understood in relation to certain events that are taking place in this age, just as the “rising of the sun from the west” [which is counted among the signs] could be interpreted as the rise of Islam.but the truth is that the Sun will one day rise from the west.
d. The individual and miraculous signs
1. The Burst of a Heavenly Cry - According to the narrations, before or during the event of emergence, an angel will cry out from the heaven proclaiming the emergence of the Imam (?). That angel will be the Faithful Jibra`il whose cry will be heard in all four corners of the globe. Everyone will hear it in his own language without detecting the direction from which the cry originates. But at the same time the Devil will also call out, “‘Uthman was murdered while he was innocent” with the intention to confuse the people.[239]
2. The Murder of an Innocent Soul - The Innocent Soul will be the nickname of a certain Hashimite youth with a high degree of spiritual perfection. He will fight the Sufyani army and on being defeated will take refuge in Medina. When the Sufyani army reaches Medina, he will flee to Mecca. There he will invite people to the way of the Household of Muhammad (?) but will be slain between the Rukn and the Maqam while innocent of any crime.[240] His death will awaken the conscience of the people all over the world, which will in turn prepare them to pledge allegiance to the Imam (?). Fifteen days after his death, the emergence will take place.[241] He is the Imam’s (?) representative and envoy among the people.
There are also other signs mentioned in the narrations which we have not included here.
