The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “there shall come a time upon my ummah, upon my nation, upon the people who follow me, upon the people who believe in me”. They call themselves Muslims and believers. My ummah when their prayers are not prayed correctly and when high buildings spread in every place.
When people swear in the name of Allah a lot but doe’s fulfilling their oath. People curse each other a lot. Bribery and adultery prevail. People neglect the hereafter in order to buy the luxuries of this world in exchange for the hereafter so people become materialistic.
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said “if you see this happening in your time then seek refuge, seek refuge. Find a solution to get away from all of this. It’s not an easy solution but you need to stay away from all this.
In one other hadith, a man said “O Prophet, what is seeking refuge? How do I seek protection? What do you mean by that?” and prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave expression like this he said, “ by adhering to house, and keeping your mouth shut, and hold your tongue and hands from doing unlawful until death comes to you.
There’s going to come a time even worse than this my dear brother and sisters where a person becomes so confused about what is happening in the world so deluded by everything that they see hear that they’re not going to know what to do and where to go and who to stand with.
Except to stay away from things, even if they mean sitting at home abstaining from all of this because there’s not much they can do anymore. They want to do well, but where do they go? They want to avoid bad, but it’s all the way, all around.
I heard a lot of young people say to me now, “why does Islam say everything is haram?” This is not true Islam does not say everything is haram, but when there’s so much haram around us and corruption Islam looks like it’s forbidden everything.
But because we live in a time where that prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told us that sins will be taken lightly and that modesty will be very invaluable. Which leads us to that human life becomes invaluable. May Allah guide us all, may Allah (SWT) protect us and have mercy on our deceased near and dears.
