We are living in the end times?

Also I fully respect everyone's beliefs on end times, but I can't help but feel triggered when muslims constantly talk about end times. Maybe the next generation will be more optimistic and braver than this one instead of waiting for Mahdi and end times to fix all their problems.

We are not waiting for the mahdi and the end times to fix our problems. What will the end times fix in our Dunya problems when we are gonna meet Allah. (SWT). The end times = end of this world so how is this world's problems gonna be fixed when it will end? While the mahdi will come and fix things but He will only be here for a few years then everything will turn back to how it was.

Why is it so difficult to believe the end time is near? We are only speaking based on the sign our prophet ﷺ told us. But when will the end of this world be exactly? No one knows when. It could be in another 20 years or even a 100 years or even more. Truth is that it's near and we have to prepare and fix ourselves before the doors of repentance is closed.

It says in hadith (I just read it in a chronological narration of the end of times sign in heavenly ornaments by Ashraf Ali (ra)) that when the Mujahideen will suffer defeat after defeat st the hands of the kuffar and the kuffar would have taken over all of the world except Makkah and Medinah, the Mujahideen will search for the Mahdi for him to get rid of all the calamities for them...:

So it's ok to wait/long for him.... as he is the only one that can turn things around for us at this stage.

After Mahdi, there will be few hundred years of good Islamic governance before world ends

I don't really think it's about that at all (although it could be for some). What it really should be is a wake-up call to us to recognize the reality we are living in, to not take our Deen for granted. To not have one's mind and soul taken over by the vain pleasures and distractions of this reality. To not treat Islam as a think we only do or follow, but to have our hearts and minds truly focused on Allah saw in acknowledgement of how quickly this life will pass us by. And the make the best and wisest choices in our lifetimes.

If we are in the End Times, then this just elevates it's primacy even more but regardless of if we are or not, this true mindfulness of existence is what people have to be living by to get to Jannah. The shallow don't end up in Paradise.

Thank you for the information. The prophet SAW did tell us that when we hear of the mahdi is here to run to him even if we had to crawl. I understand that. I guess I didn't word my abvove post clearly. I wanted to show that it's not just about longing for the mahdi, being aware of the signs of the last hour is more about trying to be close to Allah SWT, obeying him and fearing his punishment.

Let me tell you something. In Shia belief, the importance and stature of Mahdi is far,far, far more important than it ever has been for sunnis. Mahdi is like the second most important core belief after Ali.

But why is that? Is it because only their religious leaders say so? Not at all. Real reason is Shias have been living under shadow of Sunnis for centuries, all their empires were defeated by Sunnis. It is because of their weakness and inferiority they prayed for Mahdi, they needed Mahdi to overturn Sunni supremacy. They needed to believe in Mahdi so that one day in the future they will turn the table on Sunnis, to take revenge for centuries of defeats, to take revenge on Umar(Ra) and Aisha(Ra). This is why Mahdi is depicted as a god king type who will "crush the nasawib" by his own hands according to Shias.

Do you realize that this exactly the same mentality you are adopting? Mahdi and constantly preaching that the end is near was never a very central part of Sunni islamic empires (except during mongol invasion).

Not to mention, Spanish christian had same belief about jesus coming to save them from the Moors.

This talk of end times and messiahs is because of political and military weakness, to change this we need to retake our countries from secularism, re-build our economy and military. Not hope for Mahdi to save us like Shias or christians do.
 
Some people believe or think that Mehdi will appear in 2019. They have their reasonings. We have seen several signs of the end times upto this day really.

No not true, i have never spoke or waited for the mahdi to save us. The Mahdi will only act the way Allah SWT has ordered him to act as. Allah is the one to save us. Why do you think we want be saved? That does not even cross my mind when i think of the end times. That is not my way of thinking. Rather I fear I meet my Lord with ALOT of sins and not much good deeds.

Talking about the end times is a reminder to be closer to Allah and do good before the door of repentance is closed. This has nothing to do with any politics or the Mahdi or Jesus (PBUH) saving us.

We are told of the end times signs for a reason. If we are seeing the signs, then why not to think and prepare for the most scary day of our lives?? This doesn't mean we stop our lives and just wait. The prophet Muhammad ﷺ told us if we hear that the end times is near and we have a plant in our hands then we plant it.

I agree with you, Mahdi and Eesa (Alaihi Salam) themselves are the signs of the End of Times and we don't have to wait for worldly affairs to become golden in a sense. In one Hadith, it is stated that if there is one single day left for the Day of Judgment, Allah SWT will extend that one day for Mahdi to come first. So it's not that we should wait for our good days with coming of Mahdi, rather we have to prepare ourselves for the Day of Judgment, and indeed, it is very close for almost all other signs are complete now.

Asalaamualaykum:

I have no idea how you have concluded this.

Hadith Jibraeel is the famous Hadith used to understand the very basic of Aqeeda in all Schools of thought.

Please go research Hadith Jibraeel and you will notice that "The end of times" almost occupies one third of the entire Hadith.

If the end of times is not that important - why would it appear in the most important Hadith that our Aqa'id is based on?

السلام علکیم

Please search Google for "Jews promoting Gharqad Trees". You will see how they are promoting by advertising on coffee mugs and different things as "Save Gharqad, Plant Gharqad" etc. It is the same tree mentioned in Ahadiths which will give shelter to the Jews during the days of Mahdi. It is so strange that the Jews have the fear of believing in Ahadiths at least, isn't it? Their intellectuals and religious clerics study Ahadiths and prepare themselves accordingly, although in vain.
 
If we are really living in end times then the Islam as is being preached in the majority of Mosques and places of learning is not True Islam...Or it's a corrupted superficial Islam that will mislead...Or So the Prophet (pbuh) said in numerous hadiths

And this would indicate to me in my search for Truth that the shadow of Satan is almost certainly upon us.

Hold tight to His rope, Only sincere prayers to Allah alone can guide us to Truth and salvation.
