I'm sure everyone knows about what's happening in Egypt. It's not a little thing. After the Military Coup , the Egyptian protesters stand up for Islam. You can tell these protesters don't only want Morsi back but they want Islam in their country, they want the shariah. They want Justice, for Egypt to be a strong Islamic country not relying on anyone except Allah. The mistake that most Muslims are making is that they group them up to be akhwan al muslimeen emphasizing that they are secting themselves. I myself detest secting myself but from what I've seen they are plentiful, and you can't possibly say that all these people out there are "akhwan al muslimeen." It's not about being from this sect! Islam is one religion. The thing is, it was always the same problem in every Arab country. We have always been separated and this what made us weak. Each one having it's own sect and opinion as if it's a different religion. Each one thinking that they are superior than the other sect thinking their laws are sufficient and more correct. I don't understand why? We have one Quran, one Book, one religion, one God, we believe in everything that Allah has revealed and his prophet Muhammad along with the other prophets. So, why do you have to be separated like this? The Muslim Ummah is one!

There are Muslims that want to separate religion from Life, when religion is brought down to us for guidance, as a way of life. If you think that God gave you a Quran to just read it and not practice anything from it, then what's the point of it? If you think that Allah has nothing got to do with "politics" then you suppose your laws are better than your creator? If you believe so, how can you call yourself Muslim?  How can you call yourself a servant of Allah?

Practicing your religion is not only living your home life. Don't crown yourselves. Life is not only about you. There are different people in this world. Being a Muslim is also caring for your Muslim brothers and sisters who are now dieing from oppression in Syria, in prison, where ever they may be. 

Allah سبحانه وتعالى revealed:
إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
"The believers are nothing else than brothers. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy." [Al-Hujjurat, 49:10]
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم also said about brotherhood: "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." [Bukhari & Muslim]

Islam is about implementing it as a way of life. Religion is a word used to describe deen a way of life, and most people take this word wrong, as if it's a separate subject of interest.

As we now see, I feel like Allah is clearing everything for us. It's as if it's an age of "Clearance." To testify the truth from the falsehood. What we thought to be true turned out to be false, and what we thought to be false turned out to be true. Nearly everywhere in the Arab world, there is a kind of turmoil. And that's because there is a reason for this spring. Everything happens for a reason. It's true we are seeing so many deaths and Islam is getting attacked all over the world, but that's because Allah plans and his plans are the best of plans. The more we are getting attacked, the more Islam is rising up. More people are seeing this religion to be a light of truth, reverts are flooding the western countries and they know it. And because of this, it's scaring the leaders. They know how powerful Islam is, they judge in such a wrong way, Islam is by no means a religion of violence.

We should take into consideration the story of Khidr and Musa (peace be upon them). How our minds seem to question a situation negatively before we deeply contemplate about the situation. Why is Allah sending us this trial? Why are so many Muslims suffering? Before we begin to question. We should think about it. If you read the Quran, you'll understand why all this is happening. This life is nothing compared to the hereafter. If Allah didn't send down upon us a test then what's the point of this life? We need to open our hearts and minds, we need to search for the truth. We need to be sincere.

For every sad event that seems to come to pass, take it to be a means of more rewards. A chance for us all to walk on the road of Jihad. Allah always wants good for us, and so he takes us to Jannah by giving us these trials. Of course, it's hard. No one said, it's easy.

The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) used to always have a smile on his face even after passing all these difficulties in his life. I wish I could be like him, what a beautiful man, what a beautiful example. With true faith and sincerity, anything is possible!

At the end, Allah will only make the righteous believers victorious. And no matter what the hypocrites and the disbelievers accomplish, know that falsehood is bound to perish and truth will always shine at the end of hardship.

"Allah always achieves His aim. Allah has appointed a measure for all things."  (al-Talaaq, 65:3)

And Allah knows best!

In the Hadeeth of Huthaifah (radi allahu 'anhu) when he asked what to do when there is neither Imam nor Jamaa'ah, the Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, "Withdraw yourself from all of those groups, even if that means for you to bite on to the root of a tree until death overcomes you while you are upon that state." We have also previously mentioned this authentic Hadeeth: "Islam began strange and new, and it will return strange and new." And it is related in another authentic Hadeeth, "The Hour will not arrive upon anyone who says, 'Allah, Allah."' What some of these narrations indicate is that it is permissible to withdraw from people when trials begin to appear. And the following is established in a Hadeeth: "Then if you see miserliness with avarice being obeyed, desires being followed, the opinion of each person being admired by its holder, then upon you is to adhere to your own self, leaving the affairs of the general public."
Abu Sa'eed (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, "The time is near when the best wealth of a Muslim will be sheep, which he will follow through the peaks of mountains and places of rainfall, in order to save his religion from the trials." (Bukhaaree) At that time, when the said trials arrive, it becomes permissible to ask for death, even though doing so is otherwise forbidden, a ruling that is related in an authentic Hadeeth.

Islam is a blessing and a mercy to mankind. It has been revealed to us so that we may worship Allah in order to be protected from the evils of this world and know that Allah is one and he exists, to be superior in truth, in the way of righteousness.

When Islam came to this earth it was never meant to oppress any of Allah's servants, whatever Allah mentioned in the Quran along with the prophet Muhammad (salalahu alayhi wa salam) is the correct way of life. I don't understand why some of us like to change it. It is the people that oppress. Nowadays, I hear many Sheikhs along with some people turning the lawful to the unlawful and vice versa. They are saying "Haram" to nearly everything, and some are on the loose that they are saying "Halal" to everything that is wrong ....I like to write how I feel even though you may hate it...but what is it with those Sheikhs and the rulings on women? Why are they pinning women down so much? She is a human being. I never read a hadith about women not allowed to drive, or go outside the house at all (of course with permission)...Definitely back then even Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to work, some women used to do business. There are men everywhere! We are created in pairs, Male and Female! I'm not saying she should go out to expose herself in front of all the men, what I'm saying is that she is a human being, sometimes when there is no Mahram, and if no one wants to marry her , she needs to find her way to support herself and her parents in old age..........I don't understand how they take Islam? In my view Islam is a peaceful religion, Justice is served to everyone, Even to the Animals!

...But then one day I came to realize that we are at a very ignorant time, it seems that everything around us is not right...Nothing seems to have a balance, I'm even finding it hard to maintain a balance because nearly everything influences us and takes us away from the remembrance of Allah, I mean look around us.... But if Allah blesses a person, he blesses him with true knowledge and criterion because he strives to open his heart to truth even though people may dislike it. His only concern is the Akhira not the Dunya.

Narrated 'Abdullah and Abu Musa: The Prophet said, "Near the establishment of the Hour there will be days during which Religious ignorance will spread, knowledge will be taken away (vanish) and there will be much Al-Harj, and Al-Harj means killing." 

Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet said, "Near the establishment of the Hour, there will be the days of Al-Harj, and the religious knowledge will be taken away (vanish i.e. by the death of Religious scholars) and general ignorance will spread." Abu Musa said, "Al-Harj, in the Ethiopian language, means killing," Ibn Mas'ud added: I heard Allah's Apostle saying; (It will be) from among the most wicked people who will be living at the time when the Hour will be established."  
 ['Afflictions and the End of the World' of Sahih Bukhari.]

The ones who speak for Justice is as if everyone sees them as a people of hell fire...I mean the good sheikhs are in prison right now!!!! =/


Remember, that it is up to us to change things to the better. We are all not perfect human beings, but we can work together if we all stick to one goal. I'm always hoping for the establishment of the khilafah, when all the Muslim countries will come together as one under the name of Allah and his messenger. The time when we will be ruled by Allah's laws and not man made laws. When our flag will be one. The day when the Khalifah will rise, is the day Justice will be established through strife and struggle. Warriors of light walking in the path of righteousness, fighting oppression and bring back Justice to us Muslims. Why should we follow our enemy? We have the right to have our country ruled by Islam and not by Zionists and corrupted Arab leaders. How I wish to see it before my very sad eyes! ...But in order for this to happen, corruption and oppression must be wiped out from this earth, so that means a time must come when everything will be in a bad condition to get better...So yes, wars will increase even more than what it is now.........=/

I know I'm going off topic, but I just wonder why they are so afraid of us of having our own Shariah laws. It is the most Just law that never calls for oppression, wars and crimes...They know that in their hearts, they know that Islam is strong, when it is established, it is firm as a sword in a rock! They know that lots of people are coming towards Islam, and they know the affect of Islam back then, so this is why the enemies of Islam, Zionists try to hide the truth with falsehood, so that they can be superior, they want the life of this earth, they want power,  but if you are working evil then nothing is done sincerely , so how are you going  to establish anything right?... Even for your selfish selves??

Allah knows better about everything. If I'm wrong, May Allah forgive me!! And May Allah forgive all of us,
Ameen.

Lastly, May Allah ease the trials of the suffering muslims around the world especially the Syrians, may Allah grant them victory over those oppressors, ameen

May Allah grant them the strength to do Jihad in the way of Allah.
Ameen.

The Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) Informed Us That Trials Will Divide The Nation And Safety Will Be In Adhering To The Jamaa'ah (Those Who Are Upon The Way Of The Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) And His Companions)

'Aouf ibn Maalik (radi allahu 'anhu)  related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said,"The Jews divided into 71 sects: one is in Paradise and 70 are in the Hellfire. The Christians divided into 72 sects: one is in Paradise and 71 are in the Hellfire. And by the One Who has my soul in His Hand, this nation of mine will be divided into 73 sects: one is in Paradise and 72 are in the Hellfire." It was asked, "O Messenger of  Allah, who do you see they (i.e., the members of the saved group) are?" He said, "Al-Jamaa'ah (those who are upon the way of the Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) and his Companions)." (Ibn Maajah)

::So, let's beware of secularism. There's no need to put ourselves in separate categories when we are supposed to be one Muslim Ummah. It's a shame that we see so many right now.::

Allah Knows Better.

Abu Idrees Al-Khoolaanee related that he heard Hudhaifah ibn Al- Yamaan say, "The people would ask the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) about good and I used to ask him about evil, fearing that it would reach me." So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, indeed we used to be in ignorance and evil, and then Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) gave us this good. And after this good will there be evil?' He A said, 'Yes.' 'And after that evil will there be good?' I asked. 'Yes, but that (good) will have shortcomings and defects' I asked, 'And what are its shortcomings and defects?' He A said, 'A people who will be guided by other than my way; some of their deeds you will find laudable and others you will repudiate.' I asked, 'And after that good will there be evil?' He (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, 'Yes, callers upon the doors of the Hell fire; whoever
answers them their call, will be thrown by them in it.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, describe them for us.' He (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, 'They are from our people and they speak our tongue.' I asked, 'And what do you order me to do if that reaches me?' He A said, 'Adhere to the Jamaa'ah of the Muslims and to their Imam.' I said, 'And if they have neither Imam nor Jamaa'ah?' He A said, 'Withdraw yourself from all of those groups, even if that means for you to bite on to the root of a tree until death overcomes you while you are upon that state. — (Bukhaaree)


'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ood reported that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam)said, "Indeed Islam began new and strange and it shall return as it began - new and strange. So glad tidings to the strangers." (Muslim) It was asked, "And who are the strangers?" He (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam),aid, "Those who
are far away from the tribes." (Ibn Maajah)

Please Join their Facebook Page. May Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) ease the trials of the suffering Muslims especially the Syrians, ameen. May Allah grant them victory over those oppressors, ameen! It's been a very long time that they have suffered, yet most of us, I blame myself too, are just sitting down watching them dieing, children , women. Where is all the money from the 'charity' organisations going? They are not even helping. We muslims must do something as one people. SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah). Allah's plan is better...I hope that one day their will be pious warriors rising up like lions to bring back Justice to the world. Why can't we start now?

It is related in a narration, "(So near is it at hand) that it has almost preceded me." This indicates its proximity in relation to the time that has gone by in this world. Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) says:


"Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness." [Qur'an 21:1]


"The Event (the Hour or the punishment of disbelievers and polytheists or the Islamic laws or commandments), ordained by Allah will come to pass, so seek not to hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above all that they associate as partners with Him."[Qur'an 16:1]


"Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it, while those who believe are fearful of it, and know that it is the very truth. Verily, those who dispute concerning the Hour are certainly in error far away." [Qur'an 42:18]

They've always decided to do something against the Muslims at the 11th of September. Is it a plan? But how do we react towards this? In my opinion, I think all this is a plan from the Zionists, so that we may rise up once again with anger and rage, protesting violently, destroying the streets. And as they see us doing all that, yeah, they will say "Mission Completed." Now, "We shall call them terrorists." We are the target of all this. They want us to rise up, so that the Zionists can start the next step of their plan which is waging wars because "they are only defending themselves from the terrorists." They clearly want to wage wars against us. We are surrounding them, they plan to rule the world, no doubt.

What I'm really disappointed with, is us as Muslims. We are not following the Prophet Muhammad (salalahu alayhi wa salam), we are sure that he was insulted so many times before, just like the other prophets were insulted badly by their own people, this is mentioned in the Quran. Now don't tell me they didn't insult the Christians too? Once, they made a film about Jesus in a bad way. Muslims also got offended, because we believe in Jesus as a prophet. Well then, back to my topic, Prophet Muhammad would be more wiser, he would only fight back when they would fight. Don't we see that the Zionists want us to be angry? Then why are we acting like this? We don't need to show them that we are angry, we need to be more wiser, and show them that "What you just done, does not harm Allah and his messenger, God is truly greater than us all, he has the power to do anything, he is the omnipotent, God is not in need of anyone, and his plan's are better than yours, you plan years and years, and God plans in any second or any time. So, go according to your plans, and see who will prosper at the end!!" If they start wars against us, well that's a different case, it is time for us to fight back too and defend God and his messenger, we are people who have the rights to live in the lands that God has created just like he has created for every human being in this world. So, we are not going to be fools and sit there doing nothing because that means we are weak. If God made the message superior to all man made philosophies then we must prove to be warriors of light. It shall happen one day, Victory lies ahead of us. It's a shame how we are all selfish, and we all think that we are superior than the others. Sects and groups all with different views and minds, this is why we wage wars, we are not all the same people. But God created it to be that way, "to test which one of us are best in conduct." We as Muslims are absolutely not one people anymore. The thing is the Quran is one book just like other books that God has sent down to his people, God is one, and the message is one, so why aren't we one people?

Our bonds are broken. We are not strong like we used to be, it is a prophecy. A time to come when every person will break his word, be untrustworthy, killings would increase, corruption would occur in every face of this filthy earth. We have made the earth dark. It is black from sin. Who will be the light ?

Insulting the Prophet will not do you any good but harm yourselves. Nor will your violent actions do you any good but corruption and destruction. My opinions are not the best. I may be wrong. We all have the right to have our opinions, surely they make us hate them, but we must be more wiser. We need wiser men. We don't need rubbish politicians and meeting councils and all that which never benefited anything but "save the Zionists." We shouldn't believe in their laws, their laws were always unjust. Don't you see ? Why is there so many poor ? The law that is more Just is what God has sent us, because he knows us better than we know our own selves, so of course God's laws are the best and superior of all laws. But most of us don't understand this, so the world will never be Just and in peace, unless you all submit to God's law, so don't blame your enemies, blame yourselves for not following God's law from the beginning, a big mistake indeed.. If you refuse and still decide to follow the "man-made laws." Then don't rise up and complain "why isn't everything working out for us Muslims?"...See for yourselves. God is testing you, and this corruption is created  from the hands of men! Will you then submit to God entirely?

God knows better.
I know Nothing.

In a narration related by 'Ilyaan ibn Ahmad Al-Bakree, Abu Zaid AI-Ansaaree (radi allahu 'anhu)  said, "The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam)  led us in the morning prayer, after which he climbed the pulpit and addressed us until Zhuhr. He descended, prayed 'Asr, and then climbed the pulpit again, speaking to us until the setting of the sun. He spoke to us about what was and what will be; he informed us (thereof) and made us memorize (that information)." (Ahmad)



'Umar ibn Al-Khattaab (radi allahu 'anhu)  said, "Once, the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam)  stood before us and informed us about the beginning of the creation (and he spoke of what will occur) until the inhabitants of Paradise enter their final abodes and the people of the Hellfire enter their final abodes. Some memorized (that information) while others have forgotten it." (Bukhaaree) Bukhaaree narrated this Hadeeth as an attachment and not as a part of his compilation, using phrases indicating that he was not sure about the chain. Hudhaifah (radi allahu 'anhu)  said, "The Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam)  once rose, standing before us. He mentioned everything that was to occur from the time he stood there until the time of the Hour. Some memorized it while others forgot it...and something will happen (from what the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam)  mentioned) and I will recall it as a man recalls the face of another man who was absent for while; then when he sees that face again, he recognizes it."


Abu Nusrah related that Abu Sa'eed (radi allahu 'anhu)  said, "One day, after the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam)  led us in the 'Asr prayer, he stood and addressed us until the sun set. He spoke of everything that was to occur until the Day of Resurrection; some memorized his words while others forgot them. Among the things he said was, 'O people, indeed this world is green (i.e., it has in it beauty, greenery, etc.) and sweet, and indeed Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) has made you to dwell herein for succeeding generations, and He ( is seeing how you act. So take your precaution from this world and take your precaution from women.' He later on said, 'The time is indeed near when the sun will set. What remains of this world when compared to what is past is like what remains of this day of yours compared to the part of it that is gone.' " (Ahmad) 'Alee ibn Zaid ibn Hadjaan, one of the narrators of this Hadeeth, has strange and Munkar narrations; nonetheless, this Hadeeth is supported by similar narrations. At any rate, no one knows exactly when this world will come to an end except for Allah (subhana wa ta'ala).

The Narration That Speaks About A Fire In The Land Of Hijaaz Which Will Illuminate Camels in Busrah, in the Land of Sham

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The Hour will not arrive until there appears a fire from the land of Hijaaz that will illuminate the necks of camels in Busra (Busra is in the land of Sham: Syria and surrounding regions)." (Bukhaaree) And Muslim related it through ibn Shihaab.


The Appearance Of A Fire In Madeenah That Continued To Rage For An Entire Month In The Year 654 H

Shaikh Shihaabud-Deen Abu Shaamah, Shaikh of the Hadeeth scholars and historians during his era, mentioned that on Friday, the 5th of Jumaadah Al-Aakhirah, 654 H, there appeared a fire in lands near Madeenah An-Nabawiyyah, in some of its surrounding valleys. It extended for four leagues lengthwise and four miles widthwise. Rocks would pour out until they remained like lead or molten tin, and then they became like black coals. By dint of the fire's light, people were able to travel to Teemaa. The fire remained ablaze for an entire month. The inhabitants of Madeenah related this incident and some among them composed verses of poetry about it. Qaadee Al-Qudaat, Sadrud-Deen 'Alee ibn Al-Qaasim Al-Hanafee, said that a Bedouin once told his father that on that night (i.e. the night of the fire), he was in Busrah and that the people there saw the necks of camels from the light of that fire, which was ablaze in the land of Hijaaz. Allah knows best.

The Best Generation Is the Generation of the Messenger (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Then Those Who Came Next, Then Those Who Came Next, and Thereafter Corruption Will Spread

'Imraan ibn Husain (radi allahu 'anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said,"The best of my nation are those of this generation, then those that followed them." 'Imraan (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "I do not know whether he mentioned two generations after his generation or three." The Hadeeth continues, "Then there will come after you a people who will give their testimony without being asked (scholars have said that this is referring to a person who gives testimony without being asked to give it on behalf of another who has knowledge of the fact that he is a witness; other scholars say that this is referring to one who puts himself forward as a witness but is not worthy of giving testimony), who will be treacherous and cannot be trusted, and who will make a binding oath (Nadhr) to do something but then will not honor that oath; and fatness will become prevalent among them." (Bukhaaree and Muslim, and this wording is that of Bukhaaree)

The Khaleefahs Of The Quraish Referred To In The Hadeeth Are Not The Twelve Leaders Who Followed In Sequence After The Prophet's Death

The twelve leaders of the Muslims who followed one another after the death of the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) among whom were the leaders of Banu Umayyah - are not the twelve Khaleefahs that are referred to in the above-mentioned Hadeeth. In the Hadeeth of Safeenah, the Prophet  (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The caliphate after me will be for thirty years." He (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam)  also said that kingdoms would follow that period, which means that the rulers of Banu Umayyah cannot be considered to be from the twelve Khaleefahs of the Quraish. Nonetheless, among those twelve Imams are Abu Bala (radi allahu 'anhu), 'Umar 'Uthmaan (radi allahu 'anhu), 'Alee (radi allahu 'anhu), and his son, Al-Hasan ibn 'Alee (radi allahu 'anhu). The majority of scholars maintain that 'Umar Ibn 'Abdul-'Azeez is also one of the aforesaid twelve Khaleefahs - and all praise is for Allah. Among them were also some from Banu Al-'Abbaas. The rest of them will come in the future, one of them being the Mahdee that is spoken of in some Ahaadeeth. We seek help from Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) and we wholly depend upon Him.

Jaabir ibn Samarah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "There will be twelve Khaleefahs who will all be from the Quraish." (Bukhaaree and Muslim) In another narration, Jaabir ibn Samarah (radi allahu 'anhu) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) say, "The affair of this nation will continue to remain upright and it will continue to be victorious over its enemy until it goes through twelve Khaleefahs, all of whom are from the Quraish." The Companions asked, "Then what will happen?" He (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "Then there will be Faraj (holes and gaps through which seep factors that lead to division and weakness in the ranks and in souls)." (Abu Daawood)


The twelve referred to in the Hadeeth are not the same twelve that the Raafidah falsely consider to be infallible Imams. Most of the twelve they mention never even had any position of authority over the Muslims, not even over a region or territory of Muslim land. Among the twelve Imams that the Raafidhah mention, only 'Alee (radi allahu 'anhu) and his son Al-Hasan ibn 'Alee (radi allahu 'anhu) ruled over the Muslims.

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Intimated That Some Children Would Take Positions Of Authority Over The Muslims, And He Pointed Out That That will Lead To Evil And Corruption

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that he heard the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) say, "The ruin of my nation will be at the hands of children (or young men)." (Ahmad) Marwaan (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "I used to go with my father to Banee Marwaan after they were made to rule; they would pledge allegiance to young boys and some who were pledged allegiance to were still in their safety rope (something specific to children to keep them from straying). I said, 'Perhaps these companions of yours are those about whom Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) said: Indeed, these kings resemble one another."' Other prophesies are in the Hadeeth we mentioned about the "Liar" and the "Destroyer" from Thaqeef; the "Liar" was Mukhtaar ibn Abee rUbaid, who appeared in Koofah during the days of 'Abdullah ibn Az-Zubair s. And the "Destroyer" was Al-Hajjaaj ibn Yousuf Ath-Thaqafee, the one who killed 'Abdullah ibn Az-Zubair (radi allahu 'anhu). In another Hadeeth the Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) prophesized the black flags, which Banu Al-'Abbaas came with when they wrenched control of the Muslim Nation from the hands of Banu Umayyah. This occurred in the year 302 H. The last ruler of Banu Umayyah was Mirwaan ibn Muhammad ibn Mirwaan ibn Al-Hakam ibn Abul-'Aas, known as Mirwaan Al-Himaar (literally, meaning donkey; he was called this because he would sweat profusely as he tirelessly fought those who opposed his rule) and Mirwaan Al-Ja'dee (his teacher was Ja'ad ibn Dirham Al-Mo'tazilee). Abu Al-'Abbaas 'Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn 'Alee ibn 'Abdullah ibn Al-'Abbaas ibn 'Abdul-Muttallib was the first ruler of Banu Al-'Abbaas. Abu 'Ubaidah ibn Al-Jarraah (radi allahu 'anhu) and Mu'aadh ibn Jabal (radi allahu 'anhu) related  that the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "Indeed Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) has commenced this matter upon Prophethood and mercy; it will become Khilaafah and mercy; it will become honor and sanctity; it will become kingdoms, great oppression, and corruption in the nation - people will deem (unlawful) private parts, alcohol, and silk to be lawful. They will be supported upon that and they will be given provision continuously until they meet Allah 'Azza Wa fall (to Him belongs Might and Majesty)." (Abu Daawood)


Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The Prophets will be followed by the Khaleefahs, who will apply Allah's Book and who will be just with Allah's slaves. The Khaleefahs will be followed by kings, who will take their revenge, kill men, and choose wealth (for themselves). (At that time) one can change (evil) with his hand, with his tongue, and with his heart; and there is no Eemaan beyond that." (Al-Baihagee) Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) also reported that the Prophet said, "The Children of Israel were led by Prophets (Peace be upon them) each time a Prophet died, he was replaced by a Prophet. And there is no Prophet after me, though there will be many Khaleefahs." The Companions asked,"And what do you command us to do, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Honor the earliest pledges of allegiance and give them (i.e.the rulers) their rights. For indeed, Allah will ask them about what He made them rule over." (Bukhaaree)

'Abdullah ibn Mas'ood (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "There was no Prophet who did not have companions who were his supporters - who were guided by his guidance and who followed his way (Sunnah). After them come ensuing generations, who say that which they do not do and who do that which they forbid." (Muslim)

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The Hour will not arrive until you will fight a people whose shoes are made of (braided) hair and until you fight the Turks, who have small eyes, red faces, small and turned up noses, and who have faces that are like the shield (of a combatant)... People are minerals (this means that their roots, backgrounds, and lineages differ). The best of them in (the days of) ignorance is the best of them in Islam. And there will come upon you a time wherein for one of you to see me is more beloved to him than to be given more family and wealth - (than to be given) double what he already has." (Bukhaaree)

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) also related that the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The Hour will not arrive until you fight Khoor and Kirmaan, (two) foreign peoples, whose faces are red, whose noses are wide and flat, whose faces are like shields, and whose shoes are (braided) hair." (Bukhaaree)
'Amr ibn Tha'lab (radi allahu 'anhu) related that he heard the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) say, "From the signs of the Hour is for you to fight a people whose faces are wide, as if their faces are shields (of combatants)." (Ahmad)

Bukhaaree related it as well from Jareer Ibn Haazim. The Companions fought and defeated the Turks; they gained spoils of war and they took women and children as captives.Here, it is literally indicated that this Hadeeth is a sign of the coming of the Hour (i.e. The Day of Judgment). If the "Signs of the Hour" refers to events that take place shortly before the Hour, then the event referred to in the Hadeeth - i.e. a major battle between the Muslims and the Turks - can take place again. But if "Signs of the Hour" refers to a more general meaning, then an event at any time, and not just events that take place shortly before the Hour, can be from the Signs of the Hour, even if a given event occurs much before the Hour. But still, the event must take place after the time of the Prophet for it to be considered one of the Signs of the Hour. After having reflected on all of the Ahaadeeth that are related about this topic, we feel that the latter of the two possibilities appears to be correct - and you will see this presently In-sha-Allah.
