The Signs of Qiyamah- 5
“Do not consume one another’s wealth
unjustly, nor deliberately bribe authorities in order to devour a portion of
others’ property, knowing that it is a sin.” (Al-Baqara 2:
189)
As we observe the current times, we are living
in societies where corruption has infiltrated every sector. In the context of
the signs of the Hour, we see that what our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad
(pbuh) foretold is manifesting more frequently and in greater numbers than
before.
In a Hadith reported by Hazrat Abu Huraira (ra) and recorded in Sahih Bukhari, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (As-Sa’at).” He (pbuh) was asked: “How will honesty be lost, O Messenger of Allah?” He (pbuh) replied: “When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour (As-Sa’at).”
