The Importance of ‘Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age’

THE IMPORTANCE OF ‘SIGNS OF THE LAST DAY IN THE MODERN AGE’

 

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah Most High be upon him) said: “The world is like a garment torn from end to end and hanging by a thread that would soon be cut off.” (Sunan Baihaqi)

 

A grasp of the subject of ‘Signs of the Last Day’, or more precisely ‘Last Hour’, in which Dajjal the false Messiah and Gog and Magog are located, is crucially important for a number of reasons. Most important of all, it allows Islamic scholarship to expose the inadequacy of all rivals – secular and religious, internal and external – when they seek to explain the strategic, political, economic, religious and spiritual reality of today’s corrupted and collapsing world characterized by universal Fasad. 

 

The test of the pudding is in the eating, hence if this writer’s views on subjects such as the return of Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salam), Dajjal the false Messiah or Anti-Christ, and Gog and Magog, correctly explain the reality of yesterday’s Pax Britannica and today’s Pax Americana, and correctly anticipates tomorrow’s Pax Judaica (some may say that ‘tomorrow’ has already arrived), a summary rejection of his views by befuddled doctrinaire critics, Jewish, Christian, Muslim or otherwise, would indeed be foolish. ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’ was published six years ago in 2002 and despite the fact that it has become a best-seller this writer still awaits a scholarly refutation of the basic thesis of that book. 

 

As events continue to unfold in the world validating ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’ as well as ‘An Islamic View of Gog and Magog in the Modern World’, we hope to provoke our critics to accept the belief that Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salam) would one day return and, that Dajjal the false Messiah or Anti-Christ as well as Gog and Magog have long been released into the world and are now the dominant actors in world affairs. 

 

The supreme importance of the subject of Gog and Magog lies in the fact that it is grounded in the Qur’an, whereas the ‘word’ Dajjal never appears in the Qur’an (even though there are passages in the Qur’an which indirectly relate to him). It is with this subject therefore, that Islamic scholarship must make the effort to provoke a reluctant world of scholars to grapple with major ‘Signs of the Last Day’ as they impact upon the modern age.
