Muhammad (ﷺ) prophesied many events that are to happen as the hour draws near. This is a list covering some of these occurrences that have happened in the past; are happening in our time; and will happen in the future:
Death of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
A form of death which will kill thousands of Muslims. (Understood to refer to the plague of Amwas during the caliphate of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab.)
A major fighting in Madinah (understood to refer to the battle of al Harrah during the caliphate of Yazid, 63 AH).
The Muslim conquest of Jerusalem.
The Muslim conquest of Constantinople.
Two large groups of Muslims will fight in war.
A war between the Muslims and a reddish people with small eyes, wearing sandals made of hair (understood to refer to the Mongol Tatar invasion of the Islamic lands.)
A peace agreement between the Muslims and non-Muslims from the Asian race (Chinese, Mongols, etc.)
Thirty impostors (dajjal) will appear, each thinking he is a prophet.
Naked, destitute, barefoot shepherds will compete in building tall buildings: Look at Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and many other Arab countries competing in building huge buildings.
The slave-woman will give birth to her master or mistress: A slave woman would give birth to her mistress: Shaykh al Islam Ibn Hajar says: “It means that there will be widespread undutifulness among children. That means that a child will treat his mother as a master treats his slave. The child will do that with humiliation , insults, hitting and servitude”. (extreme disobedience to parents)
A trial (fitnah) which will enter every Arab household.
Knowledge will be taken away (by the death of people of knowledge), and ignorance will prevail: Look at the real scholars talking the truth against leaders in the world – they end up in prison or killed.
Wine (intoxicants, alcohol) will be drunk in great quantities.
Illegal sexual intercourse will become widespread.
Earthquakes will increase.
Time will pass more quickly.
Tribulations (fitan) will prevail.
Bloodshed will increase.
A man will pass by the grave of another and wish he was in the place of the deceased.
Trustworthiness will be lost, i.e. when authority is given to those who do not deserve it.
Many of these signs are already upon us – the time will soon come for every soul to pay for every minor and major act it has committed. We must understand that these signs are merely for the world as a whole. Individually, our judgement begins the moment we pass away – let us never forget that.
Allah knows best.
