May the peace and blessings of Allah be
upon all of you and may He guide all of
us to the right path and to the truth
today it's our last and Fin fin episode
of the proof that Islam is the truth
we've been through many different
amazing things but the last thing that
we want to finish with today are some of
the signs of the last day things that
the prophet Muhammad said that would
happen before the end of time and of
course the first thing the prophet
Muhammad sallallah alaihi wasallam said
the first thing that he said would be
the first of the signs of the last day
is his death and the last day is soon
upon us and that's what the prophet said
then 1,400 years ago how close must it
be now let's look at some of the things
the prophet Muhammad May Allah's peace
and blessings be upon him said in
various narrations first of all the
prophet Muhammad mentioned that amongst
the signs of the last day is that you
would see the barefooted beduins compete
with each other in building tall
buildings this is remarkable because I
invite anybody to look and go and visit
Dubai Abu Dhabi Saudi Arabia
bahin these are
places where 60 years ago I remember
when I was in Kenya and they were
complaining how there was no more money
coming from Saudi Arabia after 911 and
so on and so forth and they were saying
well you know 60 years ago we used to
send money to Saudi Arabia to help the
orphans and the madrasas there now you
will find the people who only 60 years
ago were barefooted beduins competing
with each other in who can build the
tallest building in the world in fact it
said there's going to be six of the
tallest buildings in the world in Dubai
in the years to come this is something
the prophet Muhammad was predicting
1,400 years ago it is truly a sign of
the last days the prophet Muhammad
sallam also mentioned that the mosques
would become like palaces and this is
the case even though the prophet
sallallah Ali wasallam ordered
Simplicity in the houses of Allah the
fact is that they have become more and
more fantastic and more and more money
is being spent on these mosques with
domes and floors and golden domes and
floors and everything to match with so
much lavish chandeliers and carpets like
palaces as the prophet sallallah alaihi
wasallam said would happen also the
prophet mentioned that trustworthiness
would disappear so much so that a person
would be able to say I know a
trustworthy person in such and such town
I ask you yourself if maybe that is not
the case today also the prophet
mentioned that there will be an increase
in killing the prophet called it har to
the extent that the one who is being
killed and the one who is killing they
don't even know the one who's being
killed doesn't know why he's being
killed the one who's killing doesn't
know why he's doing The Killing I think
this is this describing the condition of
some cities today where kids are
shooting people the person has no idea
why he was shot in fact people are being
shot merely just to prove themselves or
for any type of Madness that you can
imagine not even to mention the
massacres of so many people that is
taking place due to terrorism whether it
is the terrorism of countries or the
terrorism of organizations or
individuals we shouldn't really make a
difference it's all Terror when women
and children and Innocents get killed
it's Terror by the hands of whoever it
is people do not know why they're
killing or why are they being killed to
such an extent that it is unimaginable
just as the prophet Muhammad predicted
1,400 years ago also the prophet
mentioned that there would be the
increase in the use of riba which means
usury interest credit cards mortgages
things like that in fact to the to the
extent that no one would be able to
escape the dust of it everybody will be
affected by it and this is without doubt
the truth of the world economy today the
whole world economy is affected and
controlled by Banks and the use of
Interest money even though in Islam it
is totally prohibited even though in
Christianity up until the 16th 17th
century riba was forbidden in
Christendom as well but yet today it is
something that controls the world
economy to the extent that no one can
escape it just as the prophet Muhammad
predicted
1,400 years ago the prophet also said
that there will be in an increase in
literacy in fact so many people will be
able to read and write but actually
knowledge will decrease isn't that a
type of paradox more people will read
and what do we end up reading most of us
we read rubbish we read rubbish stuff
but we can read but knowledge especially
knowledge of the religion despite the
fact that more people can read ignorance
has become prevailing and this is what
the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam
said that religious knowledge would
decrease not by the books disappearing
not by you know knowledge being taken
from the minds of the people no the
knowledge in the sense of the books will
be there but the scholars so that only
ignorant people will remain and people
will ask them for religious verdicts and
they will give it even though they are
ignorant and they will misguide
themselves and misguide others anyone
acquainted with a Muslim world today
will be familiar with this and the
prophet mentioned there the speakers
will be many and the scholars will be
few and this is what we can find exactly
there are many speakers many thinkers
many
intellectuals many people alhamdulillah
giving da maybe not enough
people but the scholars they are so few
and this is a type of sign of the last
day that the scholars will be taken away
and this is exactly what we find
happening also the prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that
there will be such an increase in
musical instruments and Muslims will
make it lawful even though it is
forbidden the use of musical instruments
it has been forbidden by the prophet
some Muslims will make it lawful and
there are are many people who saying
it's allowed even though it is very
clearly mentioned in Sahari the most
authentic collection of Hadith and this
is mentioned here this Hadith where the
Prophet predicted that the people will
make it lawful even though the prophet
made it unlawful and it's come true just
as the prophet Muhammad May Allah's
peace and blessings be upon him said
also he mentioned there will be an
increase in sexual promiscuity even
though Islam is a religion that teaches
Chastity that man and a woman should
confine themselves to marriage the
prophet said there will be an increase
in sexual promiscuity and I don't think
anyone can deny that that is the state
of the world today with highly
sexualized images and even traditional
societies that normally had a good
traditional moral values for example
like India even in India for example
promiscuity is becoming more and more
common hardly than it ever was before
even in Muslim countries where the whole
idea of SE ual promiscuity is so against
the teachings of Islam it is
unfortunately becoming more and more
common and the prophet Muhammad said
that because of this diseases would
appear that people had never heard of
before isn't that the case aids for
example diseases that people had never
heard of before will arise due to sexual
promiscuity and this has taken place
just as the prophet Muhammad predicted
sallallah alaihi wasallam he mentioned
that women will be naked although they
are dressed I don't think this is a
better way of describing the dress of
some women today which in all but means
is nakedness with the clothes that are
so tight they describe every shape of
the body which this technology did not
exist to make those type of clothes in
the time of the Prophet yet the prophet
Muhammad is describing how this
nakedness amongst the women will become
prevalent and also the prophet mentioned
that there will be shouting in the
mosques something that is prohibited in
Islam and it's something that I have
witnessed myself and also the prophet
said the worst and the most ignorant
people will become the leaders and
really I have to say if we look at some
of the world leaders today even of some
of the
superpowers it seems as if what the
prophet said about the worst and most
ignorant people becoming leaders seems
to have taken place exactly as the
prophet Muhammad said also he mentioned
that a man would obey his wife and
disobey his mother something really
contrary to the teachings of Islam he
will rather listen to his friends than
listen to his father and this is
something that we have find happening in
the Muslim world even though this is so
against the teachings of Islam men will
wear gold and silk and they will make it
lawful even though the prophet has made
it unlawful people will abandon the
religion of Islam for a small worldly
game
and keeping on to the religion will be
hold like holding two hot coals I
mentioning all of these things and there
are many many more things that the
prophet Muhammad sallallah alaihi
wasallam mentioned but these are some of
the small
signs concerning the events that will
take place before the last day and as we
can see these things that I have gone
through almost without exception they
have come true in a way that is so so
clear and so so obvious and so so
apparent I want to spend a little bit of
time talking about some of the
authenticated miracles of the Prophet
Muhammad I mean of course the greatest
miracle that was given to the prophet
Muhammad was the Quran but there are
many authenticated Miracles and it is
not often known and mentioned that were
done through the prophet Muhammad by the
power of God for example even at the
birth of the Prophet Muhammad May
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him
when he was taken by the wet nurse Hala
and she was the only one willing to take
him even though he was an orphan and
because he was an orphan no one was
really expecting that they would get any
reward and they would get well paid buta
his W nurse and that was the tradition
of the Arabs they used to send their
babies out into the desert where it was
more healthy to be nursed by the bedwin
women and Hala she took this
responsibility even though she was not
really expecting much reward and from
the moment she did this she found that
everything
changed even the goats in her tribe
started to get fatter wherever they went
there was grass for them to feed she
herself became stronger and more healthy
and was producing more milk and as long
as the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam
was with her she found these blessings
happen in fact she commented to her
husband and to the tribe that surely we
have been given a blessed child when the
prophet Muhammad sallallah alai wasam
before he was a prophet one of the
things that would happen was the stones
would speak to him and they would say to
him Muhammad you are the messenger of
Allah and this is the type of things
that would happen these are some
Miracles and true and authentic Miracles
that happened to the prophet don't go
away we're going to talk about some more
of those after the break in the proof
that Islam is the truth
[Music]
welcome back to the proof that Islam is
the truth and we're talking about the
authenticated miracles of the Prophet
Muhammad May Allah's peace and blessings
be upon Him things that were witnessed
by his companions who lived with him and
saw these things and recorded them and
we have these things until today and
we're only mentioning a few because we
don't have too much time we can't go
thoroughly into every single one so
we're just mentioning a few of them
there's one famous incident when the
Prophet Muhammad when he used to deliver
the sermon the Friday sermon in the
mosque in Medina there was a certain
post which he used to lean against but
then he decided it would be better if he
stood on a type of pulpit and so they
had constructed some steps and the
prophet Muhammad s. wasallam would walk
up and climb and stand on those steps
and he would deliver his sermon from
there and when he walked up and climbed
on the step the post that he used to
lean on began and a sound came out of it
like a crying sound and the prophet went
and stroke this the post was crying
because the prophet Muhammad was not
leaning on it anymore and this is how
the sadness the post felt because the
prophet had left it it's amazing thing
how this crying noise was heard coming
out of the post there are many
narrations that are reported where
animals used to come and complain to the
prophet Muhammad there was one example
when some companions had stolen the eggs
from the nest of a bird and this bird
was seen flapping around the head of the
Prophet Muhammad and the prophet said
who are those people who have stolen the
eggs from the nest of the bird and he
told them to return it that his mother
is distressed because of what you have
done also a camel complained to the
prophet Muhammad that its owner was
overloading it and from this the prophet
Muhammad warned us and told us not even
to oppress the animals under our care
and that we should be careful not to
overburden them with more than that they
are able to take there is a famous and
beautiful Story how Abu hura who was one
of the companions of the Prophet used to
feel so hungry sometimes used to faint
at the door of the mosque and people
used to tread on him because they
thought he was mad and one day he went
to Abu Bakr and he didn't want to tell
anyone that he was really almost dying
of hunger so he went and he asked Abu
Bakr a question about the Quran hoping
that Abu Bakr would recognize his
weakness but he didn't and he went to
Omar and the same thing happened but
when he went to the prophet straight
away the prophet sallallah Al wasam said
come with me he told Abu hura and to
come with him and he went to his house
and he asked his wives what do we have
in the house to eat they had nothing
except a bowl of milk this is the house
of the messenger of God In The House of
the messenger of God amongst all his
wives all they have to drink between
them is a b of milk and the prophet said
give it to me then he said to Abu Hurr
go and get the people of the bench now
the people of the bench were all the
poor people who used to sleep next to
the mosque and Abu huray was thinking if
I call them there's not going to be
enough milk for me there's hardly enough
milk for me let alone to feed all the
people of the bench but then he thought
I must obey the order of the Prophet
Muhammad so he said okay I will do it
even because this is what the prophet
said so he called them and and the
prophet got Abu Hur to sit on his left
and now in Islam when we pass something
we pass it from the right and so the
prophet passed his bowl of milk from the
right going around all the people and
every time Abu Hur is thinking there's
not going to be enough milk left for me
there's not going to be enough milk left
for me and eventually when the milk got
to him he drank from the milk and then
the prophet Muhammad said drink again
and he drank again and then the third
time the prophet said drink again and
Abu Hur said I can't drink I am old this
is a miracle of course how the small
amount of milk was so much to feed so
many people and this is not the only
time such an event happened also the
prophet made a miraculous night Journey
from Mecca to Jerusalem and up from
Jerusalem through the heavens where
Allah gave him the five prayers and he
saw many wonderful signs in the heavens
now many people when they heard this
they actually started to disbelieve in
Islam people came to Abu Bakr they said
oh Abu Bakr you know what your friend is
saying now he's saying he went on a
journey to Jerusalem in one night and
then went up through the heavens Abu
Bakr said if that's what the prophet
said he did it happened CU he never
lies anyway people started saying prove
to us that this is the case so the
prophet Muhammad he described a caravan
that he had seen on the way meaning a
caravan you know of camels and a trade
Caravan he described this Caravan and
what it looked like and he also
described to the people Jerusalem and
what it was like 2 Days Later the
Caravan arrived and it was exactly how
the prophet Muhammad May Allah's peace
and blessings be upon him had described
it and then when the people asked the
Caravan they had come from Jerusalem and
they described to the people how was
Jerusalem and it matched exactly the
description of the Prophet Muhammad s.
wasam of course another great miracle
that was given to the prophet Muhammad
was the splitting of the Moon the Pagan
Arabs kept asking the prophet for a sign
kept asking him for a sign so he
eventually Allah gave him this sign and
the moon was split in two so the two
halves of the moon were on each side of
the Horizon of course the Pagan Arabs
did still not believe in spite of all of
that anyway those are just some of the
Miracles of the Prophet Muhammad which
Allah gave to him and I'm only
mentioning them by way of completeness
because of course really for those of
you who are thinking for those of you
who are thinking deeply our whole series
has been about something really
miraculous those proofs and evidences
that we have presented to you through
which and by which you might know that
the Quran is truly what it claims to be
the word of God that Muhammad May
Allah's peace and blessings be upon Him
is what he claimed to be the final
messenger of God of Allah sent for the
benefit and the mercy of all of mankind
we have discussed matters rational and
matters
mysterious we have talked
about all sorts of wonderful things but
the question I need to ask you now what
is preventing you from accepting the
truth that there is nothing worthy of
worship except Allah and that Muhammad
May Allah's peace and blessings be upon
Him is indeed the final messenger of
Allah is it fear are you afraid what
will the people say if I become Muslim
what will people say about me what will
happen to me at work what will happen to
me at school what will happen to me in
my home with my parents is this what is
preventing you from accepting the truth
oh my dear people you should be more
afraid of Allah you should be more
afraid of your lord you should be more
afraid of the punishment of the hell
fire that awaits those people who reject
truth a fire where Allah will burn the
skin and recreate the skin so that
people can taste the punishment a place
where water boiling water will be poured
on people's faces that will burn their
faces and burn out their insides this is
the punishment saved for those people
who reject truth is it not more
appropriate and worthy that you should
be afraid of that are you not afraid
that Allah will send a punishment upon
you like he did send a punishment upon
Noah and his people about the people of
Sodom and gomorah the people of lot the
prophet lot are you not afraid that a
chastisement will come from your Lord in
this life maybe it is
arrogance maybe it is pride maybe you
think that the virtue of belonging to a
certain tribe or a certain Nation or a
certain country maybe you think you are
so powerful but Allah is more powerful
have you not traveled the Earth and see
what has happened to those people before
civilizations strong in power and might
and what what is left of them ruins
where did all their science and their
technology and their wisdom and their
intelligence lead them if it did not
take them to the belief and the
acceptance of the truth that Allah is
the true object of worship that Muhammad
is the true
Messenger maybe it is my dear people
that you are not sincere you do not care
about truth you only care about the
things of this
world but you should care
you should care about the things of this
world because the true happiness of this
world is in obeying your lord and
knowing your lord and worshiping your
lord how many people of this world leave
it and they never tasted the sweetest
thing in life the sweetest thing in this
life is to know Allah and to follow his
religion and his guidance that he sent
down all I can say ultimately is that
Allah has guided me to Islam and it is
the happy EST and the best and the most
complete way of life a human being could
ever live I just ask you to do one
thing pray with your heart with your
soul with your mind ask and pray God in
humility in sincerity raise your hands
and say and beg oh God guide me to the
truth open my heart to the truth if
Islam is the truth guide me to it
and make me happy with it and help me to
follow it and help me to be a sincere
Muslim if it is the truth oh God creator
of the heavens and the Earth may Allah
guide me you always to The Truth
asalam May the peace and blessings of
Allah be with you always
a
