Adherence to Traitors, and Considering
the Righteous as Treacherous
Soon years containing treacheries and tricks will come. A liar will be declared true in them and a true man will be declared a liar; a treacherous will be designated as trustworthy and a trustworthy as a treacherous. (Ibn Majah)
The time will be years of confusion. People will believe a liar and not believe one who tells the truth. (Ibn Ahmad Hanbal)
The Day of Judgment will not come until the very lowest people are the happiest. (Tirmidhi)
The acceptance of lies and rejection of the truth are among the portents of Doomsday. (al-Tabarani)
The liar will be received well, and the one who tells the truth will be rejected. People will trust traitors, and the ones who are trustworthy will be treated as traitors... Then lies will spread... (Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, pp. 146-47)
Tricky years lie before the Hour. At those times, trustworthy people are accused and traitors are believed. The trustworthy one is silenced, and the liar is seen as reliable. (Ibn Asakir)
It is a sign of the Hour when one who is not fit possesses a lot and is brought to a good status, while one who is capable is ousted. (Nu`aym ibn Hammad, Kitab al-Fitan)
Therefore, the increase in the amount of evil people, as well as the facts that trustworthy people are considered liars and that some presumed liars are actually trustworthy are all characteristics of the End Times.
The Collapse of Moral Values
In our day, a great danger threatens the world's social fabric. Just as a virus kills the human body, this danger - the degradation of those moral values that help maintain a healthy society - brings about a subtle social collapse.
From the hadiths of our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace), we understand that social degeneration will prevail in the End Times. One hadith tells us that people will engage openly in prostitution:
The Hour will not come... until there will be prevalence of open illegal sexual intercourse (Sahih Bukhari)
Homosexuality, prostitution, premarital and extramarital sex, sexual misdemeanors, pornography, sexual harassment, and the increase of sex-related illnesses are important indications of the collapse of moral values.
These remain continual matters of public concern. Some people are not aware of this growing danger and so mistakenly consider it as normal. But, statistics show that with every passing day, this danger is spreading unperceived.
The proportion of sex-related illnesses is an important indication of the problems facing humanity. According to World Health Organization (WHO), sex-related diseases form one of the largest segments of illnesses. These reports show that of an estimated 333 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases occur in the world every year.34 In addition, AIDS continues to be the most serious problem. WHO statistics indicate that AIDS has killed 18.8 million people since the beginning of the epidemic in the early 1980s.35 The WHO report for 2000 sums up the situation succinctly: "AIDS is unique in its devastating impact on the social, economic and demographic underpinnings of development."36
Among the most frightening developments is the spread of homosexuality. In some countries, homosexuals can legally marry, enjoy its social benefits, and form associations and organizations. Around the world, their activities show their opposition to religious faith and their antagonism to religious values. This is a characteristic of our age, for such things have never happened before since the time of the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace).
The audacity of today's homosexuals makes one think of what happened to Lot's people, who were noted for their homosexuality. As the Qur'an says, when they flamboyantly rejected Lot's (pbuh) invitation to the right path, God destroyed the city and its people by a great disaster. As a reminder, the remains of this perverse society still lie beneath the water of Lut's Lake (the Dead Sea).
It is clear that the hadiths describing the moral degeneration of the End Times are coming true today. This once again reminds us that, by God's Will, Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) return to this world is very close.
Time Grows Short
(Buhari, Fiten: 25; Ahmed bin Hanbel, Müsned, 2/313)The Hour will not arrive until… time gets shorter and vehicles make distances short. (Sahih Bukhari)
The Hour will not come until a person who travels on his mount feels no fear other than losing his way between Iraq and Makkah. (Muntakhab Kanz al-`Ummal, vol. 2, pp. 370-71)
The Last Day will not be established until… time will pass quickly. (Sahih Bukhari)
Great distances will be traversed in short spans of time.
(Ibn Ahmad Hanbal, Musnad)
In our time, supersonic aircraft, trains, and other advanced vehicles can carry us to a certain place in hours instead of months. Moreover, they can do so more easily, comfortably, and safely. In this sense, this sign has come true.
The Qur'an mentions vehicles that are the product of modern advanced technology:
And horses, mules, and donkeys both to ride and for adornment. And He creates other things you do not know. (Surat an-Nahl, 16:8)
Other hadiths mention the contraction of time, as follows:
Time gets closer, and the day and the night approach one another. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 374, no. 681)
The Hour will not take place before time shrinks. One year will be like a month, one month will be like a week, a week will be like a day, and a day will be like an hour; and an hour will be like a burning flame.
(Ibn Ahmad Hanbal, Musnad)
Abu Hurayra quoted that the Prophet of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) as saying: The Last Hour will not happen until time draws close, a year will be like a month, a month will be like a week, a week will be like a day, a day will be like an hour, and an hour will be like burning and combustion of palm leaves.
(Ibn Ahmad Hanbal and Ibn Hibban)
These hadiths also indicate that people will save lots of time. International communication that used to take weeks now takes a couple of seconds, thanks to the Internet and other modern communications technology. Goods that took months to reach their destinations can now be transported far more quickly. Today, millions of books can be published in the time it took to write just one book a few centuries ago. Daily things we now take for granted, such as hygiene, methods of food preparation, and child-care, no longer require as much time, thanks to modern technological inventions.
We could easily provide many more examples. However, what is important here is that we realize that the signs revealed by the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) are now coming true.

Increased Productivity
People will reap 700 measures of wheat for every one they sow… People will throw down a few handfuls of seeds and reap 700 handfuls… Although much rain will fall, none will be wasted.
(Ibn Hajar Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar
fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 43)
The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) provided many other details of the technological advances that will accompany the End Times, such as the move toward modern agricultural techniques, the development of new production methods, seed improvement research, and increasing production as a result of the better use of rainwater by building new dams and artificial lakes.
Today, technology is advancing rapidly, and the quality and quantity of products are constantly increasing. This rapid development, particularly in genetics, is creating a revolution in agricultural and other types of technology.

The Greening of the Deserts
The Day of Judgment will not come until there are rivers and gardens in Arabia. (Ibn Ahmad Hanbal, Musnad, vol. 17, p. 22, no. 8819)
The Day of Judgment will not come until there are rivers and streams in Arabia. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 471)
Another technological development pointing to the abundance available during the End Times is the greening of the deserts. If we consider that 43 percent of the Earth's land surface is comprised of deserts, then we can easier understand the importance of agricultural technology. Production now can be carried out even on the driest soil, as water is brought to infertile deserts. If this advanced technology is implemented in all deserts, then many countries on the brink of starvation will acquire productive lands. This, of course, requires considerable technology.
These pictures show the greening of the deserts in the United Arab Emirates and the resulting crops.
To green the deserts, sufficient amounts of water and land must be obtained. One relevant technology now being developed is computer-controlled irrigation. This enables water to be sent directly to the plant's roots so that not a single drop is wasted. Given that purified water is a crucial element of desert agriculture, flood and sea water forms the basis of agricultural technology. In this way, vast water resources will be obtained, a development that also will be a major support of countries' economies. Our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) also indicated the very productive use of water:
Both the Ummah's good and wicked members will be blessed with a blessing, the like of which they have never seen before. Despite the abundance of rain, not a drop will go to waste. The land will grow fruitful and fertile, without demanding a single seed...
(Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar
fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 23)

Geen woorden, maar daden :duim:
Het is maar net wat je wil geloven. Aan de ene kant hoor je van veel gelovigen dat God of Allah barmhartig en vergevensgezind is. Aan de andere kant hebben ze het over hel en verdoemenis.
Persoonlijk moet ik er niet aan denken om na mijn dood opgezadeld te zitten met mensen die zeer extreem in hun geloof zijn. Als zij naar de hemel of het paradijs gaan, ga ik wel ergens anders hene.
Weakening of the Family Structure
The hadiths also state that divorce and the number of illegitimate children will increase:
Divorce will be a daily occurrence.
(Allamah Safarini, Ahwal Yawm al-Qiyamah)
There will be an abundance of illegitimate children.
(Muntakhab Kanz al-`Ummaal)

Acceptance of Homosexuality
These hadiths show that tolerating homosexuality as a normal way of life is an important sign of the period before the Last Day.
Men will imitate women; and women will imitate men.
(Jalal ad-Din as-Suyuti, Durre-Mansoor)
The Hour will draw nigh when men are content with men and women are content with women. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi)
Diminished Love and Respect among People
Young people will be rebellious, and love and respect between young people and adults will deteriorate:
When the old have no compassion for the young, when the young show no respect to the old … when children grow angry … judgment is at hand. (Narrated by Umar [r.a.], Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 480)
Respect for the old and compassion for the young will disappear. (Muhammad ibn `Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji,
Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 140)
Spread of Adultery
The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) says that the spread of extramarital sexual relationships is a sign of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming:
The Hour will come when adultery becomes widespread.
(Sahih Bukhari)
The weakening of moral values and a sense of shame is described in these words:
The Last Hour will not be established until they [wicked people] commit adultery on the roads [public ways]. (Ibn Hibban and al-Bazzar)
Children of adultery will grow in number. Many people will commit adultery with women in the middle of the street. (Muhammad ibn `Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 140)
A time will come when adultery with women will be committed in the middle of the road. Nobody will object to this. (Muhammad ibn '`Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li -Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 142)
It is interesting to note that, recently, scenes of prostitution captured by hidden cameras have been broadcast on television. Prostitutes have sexual intercourse with their customers in the middle of the street. This is another sign of the Last Day as revealed in a hadith, one which millions of people have witnessed.

De crux zit 'm in 'ze '.
Persoonlijk moet ik er niet aan denken om na mijn dood opgezadeld te zitten met mensen die zeer extreem in hun geloof zijn. Als zij naar de hemel of het paradijs gaan, ga ik wel ergens anders hene.
Mwoah, beter met ze opgezadeld in het nivellerende hiernamaals dan het verscheidene hiernumaals.
The Decay of Family Relations
Another characteristic will be the disintegration of relationships among families, between friends and neighbors, and the loss of community and spiritual values:
Before the Hour comes; … family ties will be cut… (Ibn Ahmad Hanbal, Musnad)There would [first] be turmoil for a person in regard to his family, his property, his own self, his children, his neighbors.
(Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)
The portents of Doomsday [consist of] saying ugly things to one another, mockery, hostility, the severing of relations with relatives, regarding a trustworthy person as a traitor, and trusting a traitor.
(Muhammad ibn `Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji,
Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, pp. 136-37)
