I have been reading on the internet information about the end of the world from the Islamic perspective. Does anyone have anything about this they would like to share? Also, when does Israfil blow his horn? Is it the last thing that happens at the defeat of the Anti-Christ or does that happen a long time later? |

I am interested in this fire outside of Medina that was mentioned in your first link, almah. What exactly was it and how did it burn? Also, I read where there are going to be like 50 women to one man. Does that mean that there will not be hardly any men left alive at the end or is it referring to harsh economic conditions---- only one man for every fifty women could support a wife and family?

Assalaamualaikum Regarding the trumpet: The trumpet will be blown ON the day of Judgement. Surah Al Haaqqa verses: 13- Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one), 14- And the earth and the mountains shall be removed from their places, and crushed with a single crushing, 15- Then on that Day shall the (Great) Event befall, 16- And the heaven will split asunder, for that Day it (the heaven will be frail (weak), and torn up, 17- And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them. 18- That Day shall you be brought to Judgement, not a secret of you will be hidden.Sahih Muslim 'Abdullah b. 'Amr reported that a person came to him and said: What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty-I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no ran. cour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his heath. I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the charactertistics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then the Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said:" On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42).

Assalaamualaikum Regarding the surplus of women: Sahih Bukhari: Narrated Anas: I will narrate to you a Hadith and none other than I will tell you about after it. I heard Allah's Apostle saying: From among the portents of the Hour are (the following): 1. Religious knowledge will decrease (by the death of religious learned men). 2. Religious ignorance will prevail. 3. There will be prevalence of open illegal sexual intercourse. 4. women will increase in number and men will decrease in number so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man. (Book http://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=3&translator=1&start=0&number=81 - #3 , Hadith http://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=3&translator=1&start=0%20%20%20%20%20&number=81#81 - #81 ) It can be either due to wars where mostly men are killed (bro ak said that already) or can be due to more female births compared to males. Allahu Aalam!! (Allah knows best) I cannot find the statistics right now, but already women outnumber men in many countries.
