Predictions
Given 1400 Years Ago
about Mischiefs’
Hence one should firmly grasp Islam, the religion brought by the Holy
Prophet
as well as his auspicious ways and auspicious practices; and one should
be firm in following them in such a way that even the biggest mischief
may not be able to shake him. Mischiefs and mischievous people are usually
there in every period and about them the Holy Prophet
has already stated: - It is reported by Hazrat Abu Huraira
that the Holy Prophet
said:
"In the last era there will be cheats and liars who will present before
you things neither you nor your forefathers must have heard. So try to
guard yourselves from them lest they misguide and entangle you in mischief."
Similarly the Holy Prophet has forewarned about such mischiefs in another Hadith. As such, there is
a long Hadith reported by Hazrat Huzaifah in which he says: "I asked: 'O Apostle of Allah! Is there any evil after
this good'! He said: 'Yes, there will be callers towards Hell. They will
throw those who listen to them and go towards Hell, into Hell.' So I said,
'O Apostle of Allah! Describe their identity before us.' He said: 'They
will be from amongst us only and will be speaking in our language only.'
I asked, 'Should this mischief reach me, what's the order for me'?
'Take the Muslims' group', said he, 'and their Imam (leader) as indispensable'.
I
said, 'If there be no group of Muslims (at that time) nor any imam, then'!
He said: 'Then keep yourself aloof from all other sects though you may
have to be content with the root of a single tree, until death.
Praise be to Allah that the group of Muslims is still flourishing with
full splendour and dignity. According to the statements of august men,
that time has not come yet that man may have to lead a solitary life. Hence
one should definitely adhere to the Muslims' group and save oneself from
the satanic mischiefs of the last era. One should grasp the Holy Prophet's
ways and practices, because the path of salvation and the way of truth
is only Islam, which is the name of the way of life brought by the Holy
Prophet
and which covers every walk of life. Islam is not the name of mere devotions,
prayers and fasting; it is rather a complete way of life.
