the events surrounding the end of time


This Hadith is reported by Ribi, the son of Hirash, via Hudhayfah, a companions of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, the reference of Nawawi, "Gardens of Righteousness".

"The anti-Christ will appear among my nation
and will remain for forty."
Abdullah, the son of Amr commented:
'I do not know if it was forty days, forty months or forty years.'
"Then Allah will send Jesus, the son of Mary,
who will pursue and kill him.
After this people will remain for seven years
with no enmity between any two.
Then Allah, the Lord of Honor and Glory,
will send a cool breeze from the direction of Syria
and no one having a single particle of good or belief in their heart will remain
on the face of the earth -- their soul will be taken from them.
Even if any of you happen to be in a mountain cave,
the breeze will reach you and take possession of your soul.
After this time only the worst people will remain
who will be unsettled like birds and cunning like the fox.
They will not know any good,
nor will they refrain from any evil.
Then satan will appear among them disguised as a human
and will ask: 'Will you not obey me?'
Whereupon they will ask: 'What do you command us to do?'
So he will command them to worship idols and
because of this their provision will be plentiful and their life comfortable.
It is at this time that the Trumpet will be blown
and everyone that hears it will turn his neck, raising it towards it.
The first to hear it will be a man repairing his camel's drinking trough --
he will fall unconscious with others around him.
Then, Allah will send rain which will be like dew
and their bodies will grow on account of it.
The trumpet will be blown a second time and people will stand, looking on.
Then it will be said:
'People, come forward to your Lord.'
Then there will be a command:
'Make them stand, they will be called to account!'
Then it will be said:
'Separate from them those to be sent to the Fire.'
It will be asked: 'How many?"
So it will be said: 'Nine-hundred and ninety-nine out of each thousand (for Hell)."
That will be the Day in which children turn to be gray-haired
and the Day when the calamity overtakes the guilty."

may Allah protects us and guides us always...
