SIGNS BEFORE THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT

Divisions Within the Main Religious Groups

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said:

“The Jews have split into seventy-one sects, and my Ummah will divide into seventy-three.” [1]

‘Awf ibn Malik reported that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said:

“The Jews split into seventy-one sects: one will enter Paradise and seventy will enter Hell. The Christians split into seventy-two sects: seventy-one will enter Hell and one will enter Paradise. By Him in Whose hand is my soul, my Ummah will split into seventy-three sects: one will enter Paradise and seventy-two will enter Hell.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allaah, who will they be?” He replied, “The main body of the Muslims (al-Jamaa’ah).”

‘Awf ibn Malik is the only one who reported this Hadeeth, and its isnaad is acceptable. [2]

Anas ibn Malik said,

The number of men will decrease and the number of women will increase until there will be fifty women to be looked after by one man.'” This Hadeeth was reported in the two Saheehs from the Hadeeth of ‘Abd Rabbihi. [3]

‘Abd Allaah said,

“The Prophet (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said, ‘Just before the Hour, there will be days in which knowledge will disappear and ignorance will appear, and there will be much killing.’ ” [Ibn Maajah; also narrated by Bukhaaree and Muslim, from the Hadeeth of al-A’mash] [4]

Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman said,

“The Prophet (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said, ‘Islaam will become worn out like clothes are, until there will be no-one who knows what fasting, prayer, charity and rituals are. The Qur’aan will disappear in one night, and no Ayah will be left on earth. Some groups of old people will be left who will say, ‘We heard our fathers saying La ilaha illa Allaah, so we repeated it.’ Silah asked Hudhayfah, “What will saying La ilaha illa Allaah do for them when they do not know what prayer, fasting, ritual and charity
