Signs of the hour / proofs of Islam

[Daze]

Due to all of the anti-Islam threads on these boards I wanted to make one that would showcase the opposite. Things none can deny.
I did a brief search and saw nothing other then a few threads showing only a video. So I'll start my own.


Tall buildings

He asked the Prophet: "When will the Hour be?' He (saw) said: 'The one who is being asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking.'
He asked: 'Then what are its signs?' he said: when you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.

1400 years ago an illiterate man in the desert claimed we'd see the bedouins competing in building tall buildings.

If we take a look at Arabia roughly 100 years ago we don't see tall buildings.


For more then a millennia after the Prophet there were no tall buildings in Arabia.
Here is Mecca in 1887.


Here is Mecca in 2015




Recently, in our own lifetimes tall buildings have appeared all over the desert.

Here is Dubai creek in 1950.



Today Dubai has many skyscrapers, 74 listed with the oldest one being built in 1999 according to Wikipedia.





Dubai built the tallest building in the world in 2010.
The Burj Khalifa

' he said: when you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.

This is a sign we have seen come true in our own lifetime.

Dressed, but naked


The Prophet (saw) of Islam mentioned 2 types of the inhabitants of hell that he had not seen. In that they would come after his time.

Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side.

Reference : Sahih Muslim 2128

Lets focus on the end of the hadith first.

Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side.

The Bukht camel is a kind of camel that has great humps


Is this not the case today?
Adele Katy Perry Nikki Minaj


Is this not what the Prophet of Islam (saw) predicted 1400 years ago?

Dubai's 'Camel Hump' Is The Hottest Hairstyle In The Middle East

and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked

Lets take a recent look at American fashion. Say 100 years ago, the 1920's.


This was typical feminine dress about 100 years ago.




Compare that to today's fashion.

This is a wedding dress that leaves nothing to the imagination.


Seems i can only add 10 images but I'd rather not share pictures of half naked woman anyway. You can easily find them by searching for any popular awards show, like the 2019 Oscars.

Compare fashion in your grandma's time period to what an 8 year old has access to on prime time television at 7pm.
Is this not a sign of the hour?


"Dressed but naked" is yet another sign that has come to pass in our own lifetime.
Predicted by an illiterate man living in the desert 1400 years ago. May the Creators peace and blessing be upon him.

"Are they waiting for anything except the hour? But already some of its signs have come!" (47:18 Quran)

Trust / Honesty (Amanah)

"When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour." It was asked, "How will honesty be lost?
He said, "When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour."

Sahih al-Bukhari 6496

This is rather an interesting hadith. You go back a few decades and official sources at least held some credibility. Absolutely everyone (including me) believed in the official story of 9/11 when it actually happened.

I remember on the last VC boards i made a thread trying to highlight the corrupt media. How you couldn't believe anything from them and this was 4, 5 years ago. Now not only the MSM, but much of the alternative media dances to the official tune today.


Lets take a look at the later part of the above hadith.

"When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour."

I acknowledge today that corruption is global but lets look at America's (alleged) rulers.

Donald Trump or Joe Biden?
We all know Trump had multiple contact numbers in Jeffery Ep-stains black book.


While Biden seems to have his own issues. Such as his own daughter making some claims about him.

Bibi Netanyahu, Israels PM is currently on trial for not 1, but 3 separate corruption cases.


Don't forget about those behind the curtain such as casino mob boss Sheldon Anderson and Bill Gates of hell. While they may not be (s)elected their wealth gives them authority.


Is there one with authority that deserves it? Anywhere today?

"A man will go to sleep whereupon honesty will be taken away from his heart, and only its trace will remain. He then will sleep whereupon the remainder of the honesty will also be taken away (from his heart).

So there will come a day when people will deal in business with each other but there will hardly be any trustworthy persons among them. Then it will be said that in such-and-such a tribe there is such-and-such person who is honest,

Sahih al-Bukhari 6497

Sadly today liars have become common place. Whether they be on tv.


In the class room.


or from the powers that shouldn't be.



Look to your own household, spouse, kids, siblings. Your co-workers, your friends. How many are trustworthy?
Do you need to visit another town to find one whose absolutely honest? It is said in Islam one who tells a lie is removed from the religion.

Can a believer be a coward?
The Prophet said: “Yes.”
It was said to him: Can a believer be a miser?
He said: “Yes.”
It was said to him: Can a believer be a liar?
He said: “No.”

Maalik (3630)

While things have been watered down today and seemingly everyone lies, we know in the time of the prophets a man's word, was his bond. Today, people lie about what they had for dinner.


Reflect on these hadiths. Compare them to your personal situation.
Realize these words were spoken more then 1400 years ago.
Are they relevant today?

The Prophet of Islam (saw) spoke the truth.

The approaching ˹Hour˺ has drawn near. (53:57 Quran)


The Slave girl gives birth to her master

One day a man appeared, dressed in pure white clothes, his hair extraordinarily black. There were no signs of travel on him. None amongst us recognized him. At last he sat with the Apostle (saw). He knelt before him placed his palms on his thighs and said..

Inform me about the hour (of doom). The Prophet remarked: The one who is asked knows no more than the one who is inquiring.
The inquirer said: Tell me some of its indications. The Prophet said: That the slave-girl will give birth to her master.

Sahih Muslim 8a

This is a well known hadith. While it has multiple interpretations, all have already come to pass.


1.) One interpretation deals with vitro fertilization.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) - is a process of fertilization where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body.



Surrogacy is an arrangement, often supported by a legal agreement, whereby a woman (the surrogate mother) agrees to bear a child for another person or persons, who will become the child's parent(s) after birth.


With this method women with money can pay surrogates to carry their baby. With this option today wealthy people don't have to worry about pregnancies toll on the body or deal with the pains of labor.

Once born the child is given/returned to the wealthy family. Thus the surrogate, the slave gives birth to her master.


2.) Another interpretation to the above hadith is unruly children.

Personally, i think tv has played a massive role in the degradation of society the last 40, 50 years.
Ever notice how Disney's films typically remove the parents in the opening minutes? Such as Bambi / Lion King?
Films such as Snow White, the parents aren't included at all.

Modern cartoon programming depicts disrespectful children. Such as South park, Simpsons and Family guy. If you put a couple of 7, 8 year olds down to watch a Kung Fu movie what are they gonna be doing by the end of it? Most likely they will end up punching and kicking one another.

As they say "life imitates art". So what are the children being taught through the television? In a world where most homes have both parents working and the tv left on 24/7 to "raise" the kids?





This is normal for kids today. Back talking, swearing. Some will even threaten their parents with violence.




It is interesting to ponder on how the companions of the Prophet imagined these hadith back in their day.
200 years ago in America kids were respectful or they immediately paid the price. Whether is was soap in the mouth or a belt across the backside. Imagine kids from 1400 years ago? I'm sure they never even said the word "uff".

How about the thought of being conceived in a test tube 1400 years ago? This is unthinkable 14 centuries ago.

Yet 1400 years ago the Prophet of Islam said..

The slave-girl will give birth to her master.

So you tell me, Has the slave girl given birth to her master?

The signs are clear for those who give thought.

It's pretty obvious Islam is a threat to you. It must be when there are 100's of Christian threads on these boards yet here you are posting Christian videos in a thread about Islam. Its like me posting Quran videos in a thread by Hindu's for hindu's.

Thank you for being yet another proof that Islam is the one and only truth.

And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allah much abuse. But if you are patient and fear Allah - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of resolve. (3:186 Quran)

Now if you can stop with your derailing, there are plenty of Christian threads here you can share your Christian videos in. I thank you in advance.

Also, I may add. I don’t think there is one and single truth to any religion. I don’t think Mose himself will categorize him in a single religion. God bless all of us.

 

[cyt456]

I have nothing against Muslim or Christian, our ordinary people with limited longevity will not know the truth. But I do believe there is dark force behind the scene. I just think the more Information we receive the more clear we will be able to see the whole picture. At the end of the day, we are just human beings that came from the same ancestor, we are not enemies to each other

 

[cyt456]

Why would you assume Christian, it seems to me that judaism existed long before that. And Islam was created after both. So the name Yahweh was there before the creation of Islam. Don’t you think it’s kind weird that the name Allah is the upside down written version of Hebrew Yahweh. As we all know symbols have meaning, it can’t be a coincidence

Yahweh = Elohim = Allah. There is only one Creator. The same Creator sent the Torah, Injeel and Quran. If you studied all 3 faiths you'd find many similarities. The only differences are the ones man has made with his edits of scripture.

Symbolism is mostly demonic to be honest. Islam has zero symbols, including the pagan crescent with a star Turkey has on its flag that some people claim to represent Islam.

Most seem to find religion when they realize the devil is real, ie your "dark force".

If you want to see the "whole picture" ask God to show you the truth. It is the only way you will really find it. If God guides then none can lead you astray, even if every man, woman and child on the planet combined forces in an attempt to.

Also, I may add. I don’t think there is one and single truth to any religion. I don’t think Mose himself will categorize him in a single religion. God bless all of us.

Moses was a prophet, like all prophets he called to one God. All prophets called to the exact same message.

If life had no purpose then there would be no need for religion. But God expects certain things of you, this is why he sent books down, to guide you and me.

No, I just think the writing part is interesting.

There are not many differences really. The biggest one amongst the 3 faiths is Jesus and his divinity.
Jews reject Jesus's prophet-hood outright, 90% of Christians say Jesus is god, 100% of Muslims say there is no god but God the Father.

You seem to be on the truth with this last quote. May the Creator guide you.

 

[recure]

100% of Muslims say there is no god but God the Father.

Do you have any "proof" of a Muslim theologian saying this from the first thousand years of Islam?

One can not be a Muslim unless he says and believes there is no god But God and Muhammad was his messenger. Otherwise known as

Usury / Riba


Paying or collecting interest has always been forbidden in Islam.

"O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied." (3:130 Quran)


The Prophet (saw) said a time would come when lending on interest would be global.

“A time will come upon people in which they will consume usury.” It was said, “All of the people?” The Prophet said, “Whoever does not consume it will be affected by its dust.”

Musnad Aḥmad 10191

Usury is indeed global today. Let us begin by defining the word.



Usury is when you lend someone money while expecting a greater sum eventually to be paid in return.

There are many forms of Usury today. Whether they be credit cards, loans for vehicles, mortgages on homes, ect. Outlets such as payday advance chains solely exist to ask you to pay more money back then what they actually lent you.

Is it any wonder "credit" is so easy to obtain for most people?



O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers. And if you do not, then be informed of a war [against you] from Allah and His Messenger.
(Quran 2:278-9)

It is clear why God has forbidden interest. Because it eats a borrowers wealth. While the lender has to do absolutely nothing to increase his money. A man today spends 30, 40 years paying off a loan for his home which usually ends up equaling 2, 3x the actual value of the home. This is all due to interest. It is interest that puts man into debt.


Our current paper dollar is literally built on interest. For every dollar the US borrows from the Fed 2 dollars are created. $1 to be repaid and an additional $1 in interest. Have you seen this monstrosity? Never can this be repaid because the money does not exist in the system to do so.


Have you heard of Fractional banking?




During his term President Nixon removed the gold backed dollar to "protect it from the speculators".

Now our money system is a joke. It survives today because it is literally built on interest / Usury.

Even if you avoid taking out loans of any form you are still involved in interest because our paper money is built on it.
"The dust of it" touches you.

“A time will come upon people in which they will consume usury.” It was said, “All of the people?”
The Prophet said, “Whoever does not consume it will be affected by its dust.”

How could an illiterate man from 1400 years ago have known this would come to pass?

Typical Islamic bait and switch: "the kalima" is not proof of the claim you made that "100% of Muslims say there is no god but God the Father". In actuality you have zero evidence to back such a ludicrous claim, which would be easy enough to prove if it were true. Though it's not like I actually expected otherwise.

As I've stated multiple times. I was a Christian for 30 years before i reverted to Islam over a decade ago. Allah is God the Father. Whether you accept or deny this, it doesn't matter to me.

There is no bait and switch here because this thread is not for you. We all know how you feel about Islam as you've stated your beliefs here multiple times. Why are you even in this thread Recure? Why did you bother even opening it?

I ask you to stop with your derailing. If you want a debate, there are dozens of threads here for that. This thread is about Islamic proofs of the hour. Not "lets convince Recure" because as i stated above. I Don't Care what you believe.

Peace.

I'm aware that factual and logically consistent beliefs don't matter to you, this thread is a sufficient indication of that. Nonetheless I have the right to read what you claim to be "proofs" of your religion, and I also have the right to request evidence for the claim that Allah is God the Father, which you literally stated that "100% of Muslims say". I didn't see you accusing the previous commenter of derailing the thread, or refusing to engage with their arguments. My request was simply to refer me to a single Muslim theologian from the first thousand years of Islam saying the very thing you said every single Muslim says. So far you're the only Muslim I have witnesses saying this and have thus far refused to provide a rationale for it. After all, the name of God the Father is found only in the epistles of the New Testament and always in relation to the Son, or Lord Jesus Christ. It seems to me like you are attempting to have the Father without the Son, something which those same epistles condemn in no unclear terms.

Sometimes when Muslims are making dawah they will mention the Father specifically when speaking to Christians so they can understand where we are coming from but this is for clarification purposes only. We do not refer to Allah as the Father in a general sense unless someone can show me a text to support this. I also read a post here of someone saying Judaism is the oldest religion. Not true. Islaam began with Adam and Abraham was a Muslim. Allah says "Abraham was neither Jew or Christian but a Muslim leaning towards monotheism and he was not from those wgo associate others with Allah in worship. Islaam has a general meaning and a specific meaning. Islam can be used in one context to refer to the specific revelation given to Muhammad salAllahu alaiyhi wasallam orca in a general sense which is the religious of all the Messengers to worship God alone. Allah says whoever chooses other than Islam as a religion it will never be accepted from him and in the hereafter he will be from the losers.

Thanks for telling it like it is. I also would have liked to see a reference from Daze for the claim that "Allah is God the Father", especially since "100% of Muslims say" it, but as it stands it is merely a recent invention of Muslims who want to proselytize to Christians even if there is no theological basis for it or it contradicts their own religion (i.e. the Qur'an says numerous times Allah has no son); a kind of bait and switch.
