Conclusion
I think the last Hour is very very near. If we look at the situation of the Muslims, we will see that there is need for a great leader. Almost all the minor signs have taken place, only the major signs are left in my opinion. The prophet warned us in detail so that we may hasten us to good. This was one of the miracles and proofs of the prophet hood of prophet Mohammad, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him. Let us take heed and turn our backs to this world and strive for the Hereafter. May Allah make us of those whos prayers, life and death are for His sake. Amien. The Prophet Mohammad, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, said, 'Dajjaal will be riding a white donkey made of iron, the width between its ears will be 40 cubits'. (Ahmad). He also said, 'He will travel, like clouds driven by the wind'. (Saheeh Muslim). What else can this be?
The Prophet said that Dajjaal will be born in Iran and he also said, 'Seventy thousand Jews from Isafhan, wearing black clothes, will follow him and form his army'. (Narrated by Imam Tirmidhie). Today there live more than 40.000 Jews in Jewish neighborhood of Iran. Look at their clothes.
The Prophet also said, 'Jesus will kill Dajjaal by the gate of Lud'. (Muslim).
The gate of Lud is Lydda today. Look at the map, so you know the area where he will be killed by Prophet Jesus.
The prophet Mohammad said,
'Then another army will emerge from Khurasan (Afghanistan), their topis (headgear) and clothes will be white (Taliban?). Their leader will be a person by the name of Shuayb bin Saalih, from Tameem. He (and his army) will annihilate the companions of Sufyaani. (Narrated by Abu Dawud).
Narrated Abdullah ibn Shafeeq who reported from Muhjin ibn Adraa who reported that the Prophet Mohammad, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, said, 'The End day, and What do you know what the End days are? (The prophet repeats the same statement 3 times). Some one asked him, 'What is the day of Khalaas?' The Prophet then answered, 'The Dajjal will come and will climb and will see Madina and then he will say to his companions, 'Do you see that White Palace? That is the Mosque of Ahmad (Another name of Prophet Muhammad)' Afterwards the Dajjal will come to Madina but will find that by its each entrance there is an armed angel (Who would not allow him entry). Then afterwards Madina will shake 3 times and there will not remain a hypocrite male or female nor will there remain a fasiq male or female who would not go out to the Dajjal to join him, and that are the End days. (An authentic tradition reported with a sahih isnad reported by Sheikh Mustafa Adwi in his work Al Fitan wal Malaahim wa Asraatus S'aa).
During the time of the prophet the Masjidun Nabawi or the Mosque of Ahmad was very simple as it was built of mud bricks and had date leaves as its covering for the roof. It was just recently in our era that the Mosque of Prophet was expanded and was given a very grand and beautiful structure. Anyone who has travelled to Madina in recent times will confirm that upon reaching the vacinities of this holy city, the Mosque of the Prophet appears as a pearl or as a palace amongst other building from a far.
The Prophet said, 'The terror caused by Al Masih Ad Dajjal will not enter Medina and at that time Medina will have seven gates and there will be two angels at each gate (Guarding them)'. (Sahih Bukhari). Just look at the recent Map of Madinah city, if you find one, and you will see that there are 7 main entrances today leading to the city. One road coming from Jeddah, the other coming from Makkah, another coming from Yanbu, one from the airport, another from Tabouk, and two from surrounding areas.
The prophet said about Jesus, 'Jesus will descend by the white minaret in Damascus'. (Muslim). This is the white minaret in Damascus, and this is the mosque where Jesus, peace be upon him, will descend according to Ibn Kathir and hundreds of other Scholars of Islam.
