Signs of the End Times

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks of the signs of the end times, which include general ignorance in religious affairs, decrease in religious knowledge, prevalence of illegal sexual intercourse and alcohol consumption, and a decrease in men compared to women.

Narrated Anas: I heard from Allah's Messenger a narration which none other than I will narrate to you. The Prophet, said, "From among the portents of the our are the following: General ignorance (in religious affairs) will prevail, (religious) knowledge will decrease, illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, alcoholic drinks will be drunk (in abundance), men will decrease and women will increase so much so that for every fifty women there will be one man to look after them".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَدِيثًا لاَ يُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِهِ غَيْرِي قَالَ ‏ "‏ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يَظْهَرَ الْجَهْلُ، وَيَقِلَّ الْعِلْمُ، وَيَظْهَرَ الزِّنَا، وَتُشْرَبَ الْخَمْرُ، وَيَقِلَّ الرِّجَالُ، وَيَكْثُرَ النِّسَاءُ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِخَمْسِينَ امْرَأَةً قَيِّمُهُنَّ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Anas ibn Malik and speaks about the signs that will occur before the Day of Judgment. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that one sign will be general ignorance in religious affairs. People will become less knowledgeable about their faith and its teachings. Another sign is an increase in illegal sexual intercourse; people will engage more often in activities that are forbidden by Allah SWT. Additionally, there will be an abundance of alcoholic drinks consumed by people who are not supposed to drink them according to Islamic law. Lastly, there will be a decrease in men compared to women; for every fifty women there would only be one man left to look after them all. These signs indicate that we should strive harder than ever before to stay true to our faith and practice it diligently so as not to fall into any form of sin or disobedience towards Allah SWT.
