The Hour

The Hour comes on the worst of people

In brief

The Hour will not come while anyone on earth still says 'Allah, Allah'. After the gentle wind takes the believers, only the worst of people are left, and the Hour comes on them.

The narrations describe people who no longer know good from evil, who live like animals and mate openly in the streets. Shaytan comes to them and leads them back to worshipping idols. Their provision still reaches them and life looks comfortable, until the Trumpet is blown.

This is a hard text with a mercy inside it: no believer will live through the terror of the Hour itself. Scholars such as al-Nawawi explain that the wind first takes every soul with even a grain of faith.

What to do

Keep the remembrance of Allah alive in your home. As long as His name is remembered, the end has not come.
