End of Times Part 1 of 5
Jumuah khutbah in Perth CBD organised by Perth City Musallah 06/11/2020
When we talk about ‘End of Times’, some of the topics that come to mind are: Minor Signs of Day of Judgement, The Mahdi, Dajjal, Return of Isa (AS), Yajuj & Majuj and the Literal End of the World, Judgement by Allah (SWT), Jahannum & Jannah.
All of these things will happen for sure, but the exact timings are known only to Allah (SWT). But what we can confidently say is that we are getting closer because most of the minor signs have already occurred.
One of the danger is that, we could get very excited by this subject and might spend lot of time trying to learn what Islam says about them and so on, but if you or I die tomorrow and go into the grave, that is our end of time and the next thing that will happen to us (in addition to what will happen in the grave) is, we will be raised on the Day of Judgement.
A man came to Rasool Allah (SAWS) and asked: Ya Rasool Allah, when will the World end?
Prophet (SAWS) replied: What have you prepared for it?
Therefore if you or I die tomorrow, all the knowledge about the Mahdi, Dajjal, Return of Isa, Yajuj wa Majuj is not going to be of use to us. So, the main point is … what are we preparing for our end of the world yaani death … which could be any moment in future.
So first and foremost, in today’s khutbah, let us tackle the scenario… which is… what if you or I die tomorrow? Death, Grave and Hereafter.
May Allah make it beneficial. Ameen.
