Some people may not be familiar with the concept
of the "end times." For this reason, it will be
useful to explain this concept shortly. The end times refers
to a period which precedes the end of the world according
to Islam.
When we bring the signs in the Qur'an
and the detailed explanations in the hadiths of the Prophet
(saas) together, we come to an important conclusion. The verses
of the Qur'an and the hadiths of the Prophet (saas) indicate
that the end times have two stages. The first period is one
in which material and spiritual problems dominate the world;
the second period to come is called the Golden Age, a time
when the moral teaching of the Qur'an will dominate producing
a deep sense of well-being in every sphere. When the Golden
Age comes to an end and the world quickly enters a social
decline, the coming of the last day is at hand.
This site consists of extracts from various books which examine
the signs of the end times under the light of verses and hadith.
It is clear that these signs have begun to happen one after
the other and in the way they are described in the age in
which we live. The fact that the coming of these signs was
revealed fourteen centuries ago increases a believer's faith
in Allah and his attachment to Him. It is surely not coincidence
that so much signs have come true all together and in such
a short period of time. These signs are the glad tidings of
Allah to His believing servants.
This site has been prepared with a view to the Lord's promise:
"Say: Praise be to
Allah. He will show you His Signs and you will recognise them…"
(Surat an-Naml: 93) There is a particularly important point
to which we have wanted to draw attention: Allah knows the
truth about everything. As with everything else, what we know
about the end of the world comes only form what He has revealed
to us.
