End of Times — The Sequence
Also known as Ākhir uz-Zamān (آخِر الزَّمَان) and the events leading up to this day Ashrāṭ as-Sāʿah (أَشْرَاط السَّاعَة) translates to ‘The signs of the hour’.
- Ibn Kathir has a dedicated collection as ‘The beginning and the end’
- Specific title: Al-Fitan (الفِتَن). Core word Fitna (فِتْنَة)
Before the Sequence: Why We Almost Missed All of This
Understanding the sequence requires first understanding why it was ignored for so long. In the start of the 20th century (or basically end of the 19th), there were 2 major Fitnas that appeared and affected the Muslim Ummah:
- Fitna-e-Qadiyaniat
- Neglecting the Hadith (انکارِ حدیث): Means Qur’an would be the main and only source.
- Is sy sab sy bara jo challenge aya tha woi yehi tha ky when people started studying Qur’an without the help or guide from Hadiths, automatically asy kafi problems agy jo pehly nhi hoty thy.
- Majorly Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was the starting point of this (Critical point)
Be advised, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan is not being criticized in terms of his role in supporting Muslims or their education — he literally pushed Muslim education and empowerment immensely.
Basically he presented himself as a representative of Islam, as Mufasir or as a religious person. He wrote Tafsir of about 15 Juz (Paras) and probably tried to manipulate Islam/Deen at a very critical and huge context.
- e.g. There are no Jins, no angels etc.
This was the major uplift to انکارِ حدیث and it expanded to the whole sub-continent. And as of 1995, some Sheikh in Karachi was also pushing this.
Now, what’s the outcome? Since End of Times is majorly explained by Hadiths and only signs are given in Qur’an, this whole topic got ignored. The prophecies of our beloved Prophet PBUH got ignored. The world got jungled up into hell lot of Fitnas with time, without realizing.
And that’s the ultimate goal of Jews and Christians — let Muslims forget about what’s important to them (Masjid Al-Aqsa), so once they have forgotten it, they won’t study the signs of it being destroyed for the 3rd Temple and ultimately won’t notice the time of Dajjal, nor Imam Mahdi, and so on.
A Note on Prophecies
Context: Yahan is event ko mention krny ka reason yeh hai ky jab Hadiths ko neglect kia ja rha tha tou logon ny yeh chez full ignore krdi ky hadiths ki jo prophesies hain inki waja sy he yeh fake Imam Mahdi aur Nabi arhy hain. So, prophecies are not a good thing as per their thoughts.
The justification is: if prophecies are not a good thing then why did Qur’an mention it in so much detail?
Example — Roman Empire: 30 - Ar-Rum
‘The Romans have been defeated in a nearby land. Yet following their defeat, they will triumph within three to nine years. The ˹whole˺ matter rests with Allah before and after ˹victory˺. And on that day the believers will rejoice at the victory willed by Allah. He gives victory to whoever He wills. For He is the Almighty, Most Merciful.’
Roman got defeated by the Persian Empire very badly, roughly around when Nabwat was given to Prophet PBUH. When this event took place, non-Muslims of Makkah started celebrating — considering we’re Idol Worshippers and Persians are Fire Worshippers, so we both are brothers, and Romans (People of Book — just like Muslims) got defeated.
After this revelation, Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) bet with Ubayy Bin Khalaf (polytheist) for camels that Romans will win again, within 3 years. The timeline and number of camels were increased upon the advising of Prophet PBUH to 9 years. Based on Arabic فِى بِضْعِ — the word Bize’e means less than 10.
Conclusion: Romans won again exactly after 9 years, and Muslims won Badr exactly after 9 years. That’s what Allah also mentioned in Qur’an — that Muslims will also receive good news. Islia yeh dono events bhot perfectly aligned thy. Islia prophecies ka hona Fitna ka reason nhi hai, its basically knowledge.
The Sequence of Events
The Earliest Signs — Already in Motion
Sahih-al-bukhari - 3176 “Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour: my death, the conquest of Jerusalem, a plague that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep, the increase of wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satisfied…”
From this hadith, the earliest signs are:
- Death of the Prophet ﷺ (already occurred)
- Conquest of Jerusalem — meaning it first falls out of Muslim hands (already occurred — Jews now hold it)
- A great plague (COVID was a wake-up call, though scholars debate if this is the plague referenced or there will be some other plague in future)
- Massive increase in wealth. (happening now — yet no satisfaction. Look at UAE, Dubai, KSA, Qatar and so on)
Additionally, the moral collapse of Arab nations is a sign of the deterioration:
Sahih-al-bukhari - 3346 لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ “There is no god but Allah. Woe to the Arabs from an evil that has come close.” — This clearly states destruction of Arab, and also mentions Gog and Magog.
UAE, Dubai, KSA — all are literally reflecting the worst culture and society inspired from the West. Recent visits, female showing off, dancing in very satanic ways. Astagfirullah.
1. The Treaty with Banu Asfar (Romans / NATO)
Sunan-ibn-majah - 4095: “There will be a treaty between you and Banu Asfar (The Romans), but they will betray you and will march against you with eighty banners, under each of which there will be twelve thousand troops.”
- Calculate this now: 80 × 12,000 = 960,000 Army
Relation to current geopolitics:
- NATO: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is an intergovernmental military alliance between 32 member states — 30 in Europe and 2 in North America.
- Means, 32 are there now. Only 48 are remaining to reach the full 80 banners.
2. Greater Israel — The Plan Takes Shape (The Trigger)
Jab tak Greater Israel ka kaam shuru nahi hoga, Khorasan ka Nizam wajood mai nahi ayega. Yeh cause hai, baqi sab effect hai.
Jerusalem is already taken. They will definitely destroy Masjid Al-Aqsa and build the 3rd Temple. Even they claim they have the structure and maps ready for it already.
Their territorial ambition — Greater Israel — spans:
- Iraq
- Sham
- Jordan
- North Saudi Arabia
- South Turkey
- Egypt — Sinai area
- Delta of the Nile
This whole expansion is known as Al-Malḥamah al-Uzma (الْمَلْحَمَة الْعُظْمَى).
The Throne & The 3rd Temple
- Masjid Al-Aqsa to be destroyed & 3rd Temple to be constructed
- Throne of Hazrat Dawood (A.S) to be placed in 3rd Temple
- Jewish Agenda: Dajjal will be crowned here
- Christian Agenda: Jesus will be crowned here
Throne of Hazrat Dawood (A.S): Since 1400 CE till today it is in London, in the primary Church of Parliament. The “Stone of Destiny” in Westminster Abbey is a Scottish stone used for British coronations. All Kings and Queens are crowned here.
Relation to current geopolitics:
- Israel has already attacked Iran and has threatened Pakistan next.
- The plan is in motion — the maps exist, the political will exists, the Western backing exists.
3. The Eastern Nizam Rises — Khorasan Region (The Response)
In response to the above — as Greater Israel expands and Masjid Al-Aqsa comes under direct threat — an Islamic order (Nizam) rises in the East.
Sunan-ibn-majah - 4084: The army of Imam Mahdi will emerge from the eastern side — meaning east of Arab (today’s Saudi Arabia) will have this structure (Nizam).
As per the Prophet’s time, Khorasan was a very huge region in terms of geography. The central point as of today would be Afghanistan, some part of Pakistan near the Malakand division in the north-western side, some part of Iran which is actually named as Khorasan province, and additionally some portion of Turkey.
Relation to current geopolitics:
- Pakistan was established on the basis of Islam — ek riyasat honi chahiye Islam ki base par. Woh alag baat hai hum apni bad-amaliyon ki waja se reverse direction mai ja rahay hain.
- Ab yeh Allah janta hai ky kiya hum wake he in future khud ko behtar kr leingy or us Army ka hissa ban paingy? Ya phr Allah hum sy hamari ghadari ki waja sy yeh mulk ch’en lega.
- We do have Pakistan here, we do have a lot of Muslims in Afghanistan now and other related regions.
4. Ghazwa-e-Hind — Conquest of India
Sunan-an-nasai - 3175: “There are two groups of my Ummah whom Allah will protect from the Fire: a group who will conquer India (الْهِنْد — Al-Hind), and a group who will be with ‘Isa bin Maryam (عليه السلام).”
- First group: Hindustan pay hamla kryga
- Second group: Dajjal se jang kryga
Sunan-an-nasai - 3173 & 3174: Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) promised us the conquest of India (الْهِنْد). If I am martyred, I will be among the best of martyrs, and if I return, I will be Abu Hurairah the freed (from the Fire).”
میرِ عرب کو آئی ٹھنڈی ہوا جہاں سے میرا وطن وہی ہے، میرا وطن وہی ہے
Conclusion: Jo abhi wala region hai Pakistan, Afghanistan aur India (Eastern side) — Arab ki idr woh Nizam already hoga jis mai Imam Mahdi aingy, aur phr conquest of Jerusalem start hoga.
Relation to current geopolitics:
- Current situation mai Pakistan is already at war with Afghanistan, on and off war with India. And some threats from Israel that after attacking Iran, they’ll attack Pakistan.
- So either we’ll stand out and ensure that this region was actually the region Prophet PBUH was talking about, or we’ll be vanished from this earth.
5. Imam Mahdi Emerges
After the Nizam is established in the east and these battles are fought, Imam Mahdi emerges. The army from Khorasan will go straight to Jerusalem and no power on Earth can stop them from taking it back!
6. Al-Malhamah al-Kubra — The Greatest Battle
Al-Malhamah al-Kubra (المَلْحَمَة الكُبْرَى) Known in Christian tradition as: Armageddon
After the treaty is betrayed, the greatest slaughter in human history begins.
The Nature of the Battle
The battle is described as being so intense that it will last for days, and the casualty rate will be unlike anything seen before.
-
The Muslim Vanguard: A third of the Muslim army will flee (and Allah will never forgive them), a third will be martyred (the best of martyrs), and the remaining third will be victorious.
-
The Intensity: Sahih-muslim - 2899 — the fighting will be so fierce that “a bird would not fly past them without falling down dead” before it could reach the end of the battlefield.
2899: “…The fighting will be very fierce and the Muslims will send a detachment to the front to fight to the death and not return unless they are victorious… (This will happen for three days)… Then on the fourth day, the remaining Muslims will go against them, and Allah will grant them victory over them. The slaughter will be such that nothing like it will have been seen before, so much so that even if a bird were to pass their flanks, it would fall down dead before it could reach the end of them. A man will count his paternal relatives and find that only one out of a hundred of them has survived…“
7. Dajali Fitna — Dajal-e-Akbar
With the 3rd Temple established, Dajjal appears and is crowned. This is the greatest Fitna humanity will ever face. Ziada baat idr explain hoi hai Hadiths mai. Majorly Prophet PBUH ny is topic ko ziada explain kia hai. Qur’an majorly gives you signs about this topic, not detailed explanations. So, you’ll combine the above two for better conclusions.
8. Descent of Hazrat Isa (A.S)
Sunan-an-nasai - 3175 mentions the second group of the Ummah protected from Fire: those who will be with ‘Isa bin Maryam (عليه السلام).
Hazrat Isa (A.S) will descend and fight alongside Imam Mahdi’s forces. And then!?
The ‘Greater Israel’ will become the ‘Greater Graveyard’ of these Jews.
9. Gog and Magog (يَأْجُوج وَمَأْجُوج)
Note to myself:
- Attach tafseer of 18 - Al-Kahf once that’s completed
- More relatable notes are at Gog Magod & Zulqarnain - In Progress
The Sequence of Emergence
- Post-Dajjal: While ‘Isa (AS) is with the believers following the defeat of the Dajjal, Allah will reveal to him: “I have sent forth some of My servants whom no one will be able to fight. Take My servants to the mountain of At-Tur for safety”.
- The Release: It is at this point that Allah will release Gog and Magog, and they will “swiftly swarm from every mound”
Their Path of Destruction
-
Sea of Galilee: Their front ranks will reach Lake Tabariah (Sea of Galilee) and drink all its water. By the time their last forces pass by, they will say, “This lake once had water!“.
-
Siege of the Believers: They will surround ‘Isa (AS) and the believers at Mount Tur, causing such a severe siege that the head of a bull would be more precious to them than a hundred dinars.
Their Ultimate End
- The Divine Intervention: ‘Isa (AS) and the believers will supplicate to Allah against them.
- The Plague of Worms: In response, Allah will send a plague of worms (An-Naghaf) that will strike the back of their necks, killing the entire multitude of Gog and Magog simultaneously.
- Cleansing the Earth: After their death, birds with necks like camels will carry their bodies away, and a heavy rain will wash the earth until it is left like a mirror, signaling a period of extreme peace and abundance.
