End Of Times

[mikal]

Some people may not be familiar with the concept of the "end times." For this reason, it will be useful to explain this concept shortly. The end times refers to a period which precedes the end of the world according to Islam.

When we bring the signs in the Qur'an and the detailed explanations in the hadiths of the Prophet (saas) together, we come to an important conclusion. The verses of the Qur'an and the hadiths of the Prophet (saas) indicate that the end times have two stages. The first period is one in which material and spiritual problems dominate the world; the second period to come is called the Golden Age, a time when the moral teaching of the Qur'an will dominate producing a deep sense of well-being in every sphere. When the Golden Age comes to an end and the world quickly enters a social decline, the coming of the last day is at hand.
