Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiSigns foreboding ALLAH’s wrath
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH (SaIIaIlahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “When
- The spoils of war and baitul mal (public exchequer of a Muslim State) are considered as personal wealth (i.e. Baitul Mal and public treasury which are intended for the country, its citizens and deserving people are utilized by the aristocrats and bureaucrats for their personal and luxurious life taking them as their jagir).
- Trust is misappropriated taking it as booty.
- Zakaah is considered as penalty.
- Knowledge is no longer acquired for the sake of faith but for worldly purposes.
- Males become subservient to females (i.e. instead of being commanders of people, males accept the role of subordinates to females).
- Son becomes disobedient and insubordinate to his mother.
- People become closer to their friends than their father.
- Voices are raised in the mosques.
- Evil-doers become leaders and rulers of the people.
- A man of the poorest character from the people becomes their leader.
- A man is respected only as a protection against his evil doing.
- Singers and musical instruments become very common.
- Wine is drunk openly.
- The successors of this Ummah begin to scoff and curse their forefathers and predecessors,
Then wait for furious red wind storms, destructions from earthquakes, sinking of lands, metamorphosis of faces, downpour of stones and continued descent of ALLAH’s wrath as if a string of pearls is broken and beads are falling down continuously. [Jami Timizi]
