Our Prophet (saw) predicted that our Ummah would conquer many lands and he mentioned many of them by name. He
said six signs! Count them. You will see them one after the other. Number one,
He said, my death
That's the sign of the day of
Judgment. When I come and go that will be the number one sign, the rest will then follow. Then he said number two
فتح بيت المقدس
You
are going to conquer the city of Jerusalem.
Bait ul Muqadus, the Land of Quds.
You're going to conquer that and he said this when Bait ul
Muqadas was under Roman territory. When the Romans ruled the world and
Jerusalem and Bait ul Muqadus and all of Syria was one of their main provinces.
It was
Inconceivable that the Muslims could ever conquer this land, and yet within five years
within five years less than four years after the death of the Prophet (SAW), the
Muslims had conquered Bait ul Muqadus. In another hadith. He said that you are going to conquer Egypt
you're gonna conquer Misr (Arabic name for Egypt) and Misr is even farther away for the Arabs of the Hejaz, than
Damascus is. In yet a third hadith, in Bukhari, our prophet (SAW) said that
After the death of this persian king, there will never be a persian king till the day of judgement
there will be no kisrah ever in the history of humanity after this one dies and you shall take his wealth and
Distribute it to the muslims
And of course he had predicted this even in the Hijrah when Suraqah ibn Malik tried to assassinate him and Allah azza wajal
Protected the prophet (SAW) him and he said to Suraqah,
"What will you do on the day when you shall wear the bracelets of Kisrah in your own hands?". What a
Prediction he doesn't have any money. He only has Allah (SWT) and then Abu Bakr and a camel
That's all they have and he turns around and he says to Suraqah
"What will you do with yourself on the day that your two hands will be wearing the bracelets of Kisrah" and
Suraqah said "Kisrah!!, the Emperor of Persia" and the Prophet (SAW) said "Yes that is Kisrah.
There's only one
Kisrah" and indeed in the reign of Umar Ibn Al Khattab when Kisrah and the wealth and the palace of kisra was
Conquered and destroyed, the wealth was brought to Medina and there was a big pile of gold
Umar ibn al Khattab himself went to that gold
He took out the two bracelets of Kisrah. And he said "Where is Suraqah?
Call him right now." because he knew the hadith and Suraqah came to the Masjid and Umar ibn Al Khattab
put it on his own hands exactly as the Prophet (SAW) predicted our Prophet (SAW)
also predicted that the Ummah would see times of glory, Times of Izza, Times of peace, Times of Stability
when the Muslims were being persecuted in Mecca when people were dying when
Yasir and Summaya were martyred. Ammar, Bilal, all of them were being beaten almost to death. They complained to the Prophet (SAW)
They said Ya Rasul Allah Allah, "إيلا متى"
"For how long", do we have to bear this and the prophets (SAW) stood up and he was agitated and irritated and he said
Wallahi, a time will come soon. Just be patient, a time will come soon
when a young lady who has no protection other than Allah (SWT)
Will be able to go from ------- to Sana' and these are two distant lands in Yemen. They are right there in Makkah right now
And the Islamic land would become so stable to faraway cities
She will go with her sheep, with her cattle, with her flock and the only thing she's gonna be scared of is a wolf
Attacking those sheep. She's so safe and secure that she's not worried about any robber or anybody going to harm her
She's travelling by herself in the middle of the desert. That will be the political
stability of the Ummah and Wallahi
We have seen that stability for how many centuries we also know from the predictions of our Prophet SAW that the Ummah will see financial
wealth financial stability. Our Prophet SAW
said that I am not worried that you will be poor
and again
He's speaking to the Sahaba
all of whom almost were poor the Sahaba by and large did not see that wealth coming in their
Generation that wealth began coming in after the second, third generation the Prophet SAW that I am not worried about poverty
I am worried about riches. I'm worried that this world will be poured upon you,
I'm worried that you will compete with one another to see who is the more richer and he said
Every Ummah Allah has tested with one major trial and my Ummah
Allah will test it with money and he said this to people who had no money, to people whom their whole lives
They're living
Poor lives and our Prophet SAW predicted that there will be plenty of money of this Ummah also in the hadith of -------------
We just mentioned, our Prophet SAW said that desert bedouins, naked and barefoot
They're going to be competing with one another to build taller and taller buildings and wallahi
We see this in front of our eyes in the Middle East, in the Khaleej
This is exactly what we see that the princes and the playboys and the rich people and the rulers there, each one of them each
Emirate and each kingdom is vying with the other that I'm gonna build the taller building and then the other Kingdom says no
I'm gonna build the taller. Wallahi, we see this in our own lives and these very people
I remember I myself saw a video of one of these these these princes giving a documentary here in America
And he said I remember when I was born we didn't have running water in our house and we didn't have shoes to wear
I heard with my own ears
And as soon as he said this the hadith of Jibrael (AS) came to mind, that's exactly what our Prophet SAW said
Our Prophet SAW also predicted that the Ummah would suffer more from within than from without
He said that the Ummah will never be conquered by an external army
Never meaning the entire Ummah not one group the entire Ummah will never be destroyed or conquered by an external army
But the Ummah will always be in fighting amongst itself
and this is the reality that we see from the time of the later Sahaba all the way up until our
times our process and predicted that of the signs of the Day of Judgment --------- that
Immorality would become prevalent and fashion to fire. ------ means nudity it means
Sexual licentiousness all of this has been predicted by our prophet SAW. Our Prophet SAW
said that there will be two groups from my ummah. I haven't seen them yet
They will come towards the end of time. One of them was ----------------
That women who are clothed and yet they are naked they are dressed, but they're not dressed properly, right?
And this is exactly what we see in the world around us
and again
all you need to do is go even look at the
The TV shows if you like that this country produced in the 40s and 50s and what is depicted of a woman?
Modestly dressed the interaction is modest now fast forward and wallahi
What is on public television is too embarrassing for a family man to watch with his own children?
What is on public television is worse than what was on cable even ten years ago
This is the reality of what we're seeing and so it's not just a decline of morality only in the Muslim lands around
The globe our Prophet SAW said that zina will become rampant. And this is something again my dear brothers and sisters that
Fifty years ago a hundred years ago
it was unheard of for a
Respectable lady a respectable man of a middle class upper middle class family to engage in premarital intercourse
It was taboo, even in this land they waited until marriage. This is in this land. How about now where it is?
Abnormal for a young man and women of this country not to sleep with one another it's abnormal
the statistics are shocking 80 to 90 percent of our
College students are now involved in these fahishi and this is something unheard of one generation ago much less to three generation ago
Was non-existent and this is something we see it coming in front of our eyes as our Prophet SAW
unpredicted public nudity
Public -------. Also our Prophet SAW predicted the rise of Riba, the rise of interest and Usury. Our Prophet SAW
said that a time will come when people will stop caring about
Where their money comes from and whether it is even Haram or halal he predicted that the Ummah will become involved in too much
Materialism and he mentioned one phrase is very interesting. He said of the signs of the Day of Judgment
---------- that the supermarket or the places of shopping will become bigger and larger and closer to one another
This says all of this has been predicted in a society where people could not imagine
where will the money come from what will people buy but our Prophet SAW predicted it and our Prophet SAW also predicted something very
Embarrassing and very true and very sad. He said that of the signs of the Day of Judgment
Obesity will become prevalent---------hadith is in bukhari, by the way,------
Now I want you to realize obesity, being fat, in and of itself is not to sin
You're not gonna go to hell for being obese. Alhamdulillah, right? But this prediction is an amazing prediction
No
Society on earth was obese at that time. How could you I mean think about it? How could you you're walking you're training you're doing
Everybody has to be fit to some level. Maybe one person in a hundred might be obese
But for a society to be obese that never happened in the history of humanity
except until now our
Prophet SAW predicted as well that
Education will be on the rise
He said of the signs of the Day of Judgment the ------- the pen will become well known and this means education
Education will become well known when our prophet SAW was preaching in Mecca our scholars have estimated
There were 11 people only who could read and write in the whole city 11 people the average
Sahabi was not literate and look at us here
Now how many of us have a masters, a bachelors, a PhD how many of us who are reading and writing?
100%
everybody across the globe by and large Alhamdulillah
This is the reality and our Prophet SAW predicted this and the purpose of all of this was what so that
We know that our Lord is true. Our religion is true our Prophet SAW is true
