The Signs of the End Times
You will all find, my brothers, sisters and children in Islam, as well as all my disciples of Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and all mankind around the world, that by His grace, Allah (twt) has guided me in order to do a series of Friday Sermons on (the theme of) 'The Signs of the End of Times [the End of the World/ The Hour]'. It is under divine instruction that I address this subject in my Friday sermons, and today is part three of this sermon on 'The Signs of the End of Times [the End of the World/ The Hour]'. Allah (twt) alone really knows how many Friday Sermons will be focused - after guiding me under His instruction - on the subject. Insha-Allah.
Before I begin, I would like to share with you some revelations that Allah revealed to me just before the Jummah [Friday prayer] today 08 October 2021 [at 12.15pm]:
Wa anakh-tartuka fasta-milimaa
yuuhaa.
I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed.
Innas Saa-ata aatiyatun akaadu
ukhfiihaa li-tujzaa kullu nafsim-bimaa tas-’aa.
The Hour is sure to come. My Will is to keep it hidden, so that every soul may be rewarded according to their efforts.
Falaa yasuddannaka an-haa mallaa
yuminu bihaa wattaba’a hawaahu fatardaa.
So do not let those who disbelieve in it and follow their desires distract you from it, or you will be doomed.
Li-nuriyaka min Aayaati-nal
kubraa.
We do this to show you some of Our greatest signs.
Allah (twt) also revealed to me [while I was preparing this sermon]: « Ya Khalifatullah Qoul inni lakum Naziirum-Mubiin. » [O Khalifatullah! Say: I have come [to you] to give you a clear warning].
So nowadays we notice that time flies very, very fast and all kinds of problems arise. We are undergoing changes in nature and changes in human attitude and behaviour. As a result, we become worried about what will happen tomorrow.
When we analyze the situation, we find how the
world is deteriorating and going adrift. It has the manifestation of hypocrisy,
deceiving people to gain power where some are thirsty for power; there is war/
fights in all kinds of ways: family fights, where members [of the family] kill
each other, there are disputes to acquire property, theft of property among
brothers or sisters. There are also disputes in religion, where each one
considers himself more superior and sees his neighbour [fellow human being] as
inferior; and in the same religion there is division, hatred, jealousy and also
where there are some who seek to become leaders to rule, and certainly [one can
refuse to believe that] even in religion there is fraud, corruption, judging
the faith of their own brother and sister from the same faith/ religion or same
community as them.
There is persecution against the weak, whether in religion, nationwide and across the world, infidelity and bestiality (a life filled with infidelity where respect is absent, where people live their lives like animals. One can even say worse than animals.] There is no more modesty; people lead their lives in indecency, where atrocities are rife. There is concealed complicity and tolerance to commit crimes against humanity. Gamblers [those who play games of chance] are found everywhere, whether in horse races, football, casinos, etc. Alcoholic beverages, cigarettes are widespread and their prices are skyrocketing, but people keep throwing away their money consuming such things that will end their health - alcohol, cigarettes, and even drugs. The latter is killing the youth [boys and girls] as well as older people [men and women].
There are all kinds of drugs these days. We
hear about the synthetic drug that kills thousands and thousands of people who
use it; the merchants of death are everywhere. They enrich themselves with
dirty (Haraam) money, and they kill the youth. Those who fall into the
drug trap become addicted to it and cannot do without it. As a result, they
start stealing, killing people [to get money to buy drugs]. They don’t even
hesitate to beat or kill their parents for this [to get that money to buy their
drugs for highs]. There are those who spy on their grandparents who get a small
pension, and they snatch and steal that money from them in order to get drugs.
They don’t hesitate to kill [their grandparents].
This is a vicious cycle, a trap from which it
is absolutely difficult to escape. What is unfortunate about all this is that
every time we hear that the authorities at the head of the country come forward
to say that they are doing everything to put a stop to the activities of the
drug mafias, but at the end of the day, we see [through television - in the
news - that drugs are indeed entering the four corners of the country, and in
large quantities. We hear that drugs by the millions and even billions of
rupees are entering the country. How is it that the drugs manage to enter the
country? Where does all this drug come from? I call it all a crime against
humanity. In all of this, it is the parents of these young people who suffer a
lot when they see that their children have fallen into the drug trap. Parents
are in great pain and shame. The honour and dignity of these parents are violated,
as well as their surroundings, their (religious) community, and even the
country. Everything is destroyed by this kind of transaction. Honour and
dignity, etc., disappear.
On the other hand, in alarming and uncontrollable proportions, there are calamities of nature, such as: heat [oppressive heat], drought, fires, floods, famine, strange diseases (now we hear about all kinds of diseases that were not there before - different diseases and that many people suffer from these and there are even some who die). There are also viruses that wreak havoc where millions and millions of people die, viruses such as covid-19 (coronavirus), the Delta variant virus and other variants, viruses for which the antidote [the remedy] has not yet been discovered. Several vaccines have been designed [on a test basis] to counteract covid-19 or its other variants; authorities order masks to be worn, social distancing is maintained, places of worship are closed, and when the time comes for them to reopen, no more than 50 people will be admitted there to pray.
No more abuse and waste, no more pompous
parties, no more fun because even for weddings there are restrictions on the
number of invitations! If it happens that the [government-imposed] limit for
guests is exceeded, there is a huge fine to pay, as well as jail. [For a while]
Beach picnics were not allowed. If I keep listing, the list will be too long.
Even on the education side, students had to go to school for two days [of the
week] and stay at home for three days. Wherever you need to travel - on public
transport, maintaining social distancing, wearing a mask and properly covering oneself
is a must in order not to catch this / these virus (s).
Everyone is traumatized with an invisible virus and solutions are being sought on all sides to fight this virus once and for all. People believe the situation will return to normal [as before]. Forget this completely! There is a much more dangerous, more violent virus that will come, and this virus will give a very high fever and as soon as a person gets it, it is fatal, and there is no escape. Believe me what I’m telling you, there will also be viruses that will attack animals, vegetables etc. - man will go through a very, very difficult situation. Currently, we are witnessing how many people are suffering. Many people have lost their jobs [livelihood]. There are no more jobs. All the prices of basic items have skyrocketed - two or three times more expensive, whether it’s food, medicine, construction etc. – in every way, nothing is cheap. The economy of all countries is on its knees and the people are on their knees even more. In addition, there are people in power who are dishonest and take advantage of this whole situation to commit more fraud and corruption and they drink the blood of their peoples [in other words, inflicting all kinds of problems on all of them]. And there are also deaths and homelessness in earthquakes, and floods, as well as cyclones and other disasters. People are losing everything they own.
When you look at what’s going on in all these
countries around the world (there are several things that I haven’t mentioned
otherwise the list will get too long) you see a world that is filled with sin,
dishonesty, jealousy, grudge, hatred, thirst for power, theft, rapes etc.,) and
if we think about it [on all these events / calamities], this leads us to think
if new cataclysms are not in sight!
When Allah, by a manifestation in nature, inflicts such sanctions on us, He gives us a message, but unfortunately man does not understand it because spirituality no longer has a place in a declining world [for these people who have deviated from God].
In the Holy Quran, Allah (twt) has said that the universe will not exist forever and that from time to time there will be signs that announce the approach of the end of the universe. It is therefore necessary for us to be aware a little of these signs so that we can meditate on them and subsequently consolidate our Iman (Our faith in one God, praying to one God, seeking help from Him alone, the One Who is the Creator of this universe and Creator of all that we see and that we have). Remember that nothing belongs to us here; we are only travellers in this temporal world, everything belongs to Him [to Allah - our Creator]. We are nothing at all. We will leave everything and return to Him alone, and be held accountable to Him.
And through these Sermons that I am doing on the end of the world, all of us must feel concerned by it and we must pass these messages with others who have not had the opportunity to listen to it or do not take it into account. This is a very, very important thing and Allah (twt) is leading and guiding this humble servant to draw the attention of all people to the Qiyamah (and His signs - the signs of the End of the world).
Do not take this message/ sermon in jest
because what comes next [in the future] will be worse than that. This is just
the beginning! Everything that has happened since the beginning of this
century, and what is happening now is getting worse by the day, and what will
happen in the future will be even worse. What words and language should I use
so that humanity as a whole can be aware of [and understand] what I am saying?
May everyone make a total change in their life, and turn to Allah [the
Creator]. There is no one (no man in the power of man) who can save us with
what will come soon because what will happen will be more serious for these
children who are growing up, these babies being born. It is Allah (twt) alone
Who can reveal to His chosen servant to share these messages (what has already
happened and what will come in the future). It is He alone Who possesses all
greatness and all power and He transmits them to His chosen servant (the
Khalifatullah, the Mujaddid of this age, the Khalifatul-Muslimeen) to give him
a deep knowledge of the invisible (Ilm-e-Ghaib). Alhamdulillah.
And this, just as Allah (twt) had bestowed this
deep knowledge of the invisible to His Messenger, our beloved Prophet (pbuh)
where many of his predictions came true and therefore, we all must have a very
strong faith, like the companions of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) who
sincerely believed in what the prophet (pbuh) was telling them. In this
century, you are living through the same time of the companions of Hazrat
Muhammad (pbuh), such companions who once witnessed those predictions which the
Messenger of Allah (pbuh) made, and which came true. And even today, it is you
who bear witness to these signs. So don’t turn your back with all these signs.
Think well that if you turn your back with these signs from Allah, you will not
be able to prevent the triggering of Allah’s plan and that is where the divine
punishment (Azaabin Aziim) will fall, and this is indeed a very painful
punishment. Believe me or not, there is no doubt in what I am announcing to
you. Come what may, it will happen.
O humanity! Have the fear of this one God Who created all this for you; be grateful to Him. Do not become ungrateful or arrogant. Live your life in humility. It is He Who sent His messenger (this humble servant) with a guide and the religion of truth to take you away from the sins that are ravaging the whole world to lead you in the right path, a path illuminated on all sides by divine light. Think carefully about what Allah (twt) says in the Holy Quran: “Yusiibanaa illaa maa kataballaahu lanaa. Huwa mawlanaaa : Wa alalaahi Falya tawakkalil-Mu’minuun”. [‘Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.’ So in Allah let the believers put their trust.]
O humanity! Obey Allah and His Messenger. Think well that whoever seeks a war [fight] against Allah and His Messenger, Allah will not leave him without having made him taste a painful punishment on this earth and he will reap the fire of hell and stay there forever and this is certainly the greatest dishonour [for anyone]. This is not my word, but it is the word of God which is found in the Qur’an, in Chapter 9 and in the other sacred books.
O humanity! Do not persist in your arrogance, or in sin, or in the desire to do wrong. Allah (twt) has said that He will grant punishment for all of this because they persist in committing sins. In their arrogance they order what is forbidden and forbid what is permitted. They are the ones who show themselves to be completely disobedient to Allah (twt). So have the fear of Allah, O brothers, sisters, and children, and seek His forgiveness in prayer, obedience and patience.
Insha-Allah, I will continue on the same subject next week. May Allah make you become receptive to this urgent call and reform your lives and draw near to Allah and let go of all things that can bring Allah’s wrath on you. Insha-Allah, Ameen.
