Appendix 25
End
Of The World
(God is) the Knower
of the future; |
He does not permit anyone to unveil such knowledge.
|
Only through the messengers that He chooses |
does He reveal
future and past events. [ 72:27 ] |
Among the duties charged to me as Gods
Messenger
of
the
Covenant
is
unveiling the end of the world (Page
415). We learn from 18:7-8 and 69:13-15 that this world will come to an end. A new earth and new heavens will replace the present heavens
and earth (14:48).
Signs of the Approaching End of the World
The Quran provides many signs, and states that the means for unveiling
the end of the world have been given (47:18). The signs given in the Quran include:
1. The
splitting of the moon: This already happened
in June 1969 when we landed on the moon and brought back moon rocks. People on earth can go now to many museums, colleges
and observatories to look at pieces of the moon.
2. Discovering the
Qurans 19-based mathematical code
(74:30-37):
Fulfilled
in
1969-1974.
3. The creature (27:82): Made from the earth, it alerts the people that they have been
oblivious to their Creator. The Creature,
made from the earth, did appear and was
instrumental in unveiling
the Qurans numerical code, and proclaiming that the world has
neglected Gods message; the creature is the computer. Note that the digits that make
up 27:82 add up to 19.
4. Appearance of Gods Messenger of the Covenant
(3:81): As detailed
in Appendix 2, a consolidating messenger, prophesied in the Quran,
comes after all the prophets have delivered the
scriptures,
to
purify
and
unify. This prophecy was fulfilled
in
Ramadan 1408.
5. The Smoke (44:10): occurs after Gods Messenger
of the Covenant has delivered the unified message and proclaimed Submission (Islam) as the only religion acceptable by God.
6. Gog and Magog:
they re-appear, in accordance
with Gods plan, in the year 1700
AH (2271 AD). Gog and Magog are mentioned in 18:94 and 21:96. If you count the
verses from 18:94 to the end of Sura 18, you find them 17. If you count the verses from 21:96 to the end of Sura 21, you find them also 17. This is the Qurans sign that Gog and Magog will re-appear in 1700 AH.
It Will Not Remain Hidden [20:15]
Verse 15 of Sura 20 informs us that the end of the world will be revealed by God before the end of the world, and Sura 15, Verse 87, gives the time for that event:
We have given you the seven
pairs, and the great Quran. [ 15:87 ] |
The seven pairs
are the 14 Quranic Initials. The total gematrical value of these profound pillars of the Qurans miracle pinpoints the year of the end of the world.
It is noteworthy that Verse 85 of Sura 15 states: The end of the world will surely come to pass. The next verse,
15:86,
tells
us
that
God
is
the
Creator of this world, and,
of course, He knows
when it will end. The following verse,
15:87, tells us when the world
will end. As shown in Table
1, the gematrical values of
The
Seven
Pairs
of
Quranic Initials total 1709
(see
also
Table 1 of Appendix 1). According to 15:87, the world will survive for 1709
lunar
years
from
the
time
this
prophecy is stated in the Quran. This means that the world will
end
in
the
year
1710
AH.
This
number is a multiple of 19; 1710 = 19x90. The unveiling of this information took place in the year 1400 AH, 309 years before
the prophesied
end of the world (1709-1400=309). The number 309 is a Quranic number
(18:25), and is connected
with the end of the world (18:21). The peculiar way of writing
309 in 18:25, Three hundred years, increased by nine, indicates that the 309
are lunar years. The
difference between 300 solar years
and 300 lunar
years is 9 years. |
|
The year of this discovery, 1400 AH, coincided
with 1980 AD, and 1980 plus
300 solar years is 2280, also a multiple of 19, 19x120.
Thus the world ends in 1710
AH,
19x90, which coincides with 2280 AD, 19x120. For the disbelievers who do not
accept these powerful
Quranic proofs, the end of the world will come suddenly (6:31,
44, 47; 7:95, 187; 12:107;
21:40; 22:55; 26:202; 29:53; 39:55; 43:66; and 47:18).
While Hadith is forbidden as a source of religious teachings
(Appendix 19), it can be a useful source of history. We can derive a lot of information about historical events and local customs and traditions during the early centuries of Islam.
The books of Hadith indicate
that the Quranic
Initials were believed
to determine the life span of the Muslim
Ummah. The classic
exegesis by Al-Baydaawy cites the following historical event as a possible explanation of the Quranic
Initials. The same event is detailed in Al-Suyootys ITQAAN, First Printing, 1318 AH, Vol 2, Page 10:
The Jews of Medina
went to the Prophet
and said, Your Quran
is initialed with A.L.M.,
and these Initials determine the life span of your religion. Since A is 1, L is 30, and M is
40, this means that your religion will survive only 71 years.
Muhammad said, We
also have A.L.M.S. They said, The A is
1, the L is 30, the M is
40, and the S is 90. This adds up to 161. Do you have anything else?
The Prophet said, Yes, A.L.M.R. They said, This is longer and heavier; the A is 1, L
is 30, M is 40, and R
is 200, making the total 271.
They finally gave up, saying,
We do not know how many of these Initials he was given! [Al-Suyutys Famous Reference ITQAAN] |
Although this narration
is well known, many scholars have been reluctant to accept
the unmistakable connection between the Quranic
Initials and the end of the
world. They could not bring
themselves to deal with this subject for the simple
reason that the calculation makes the end of the world, and judgment, a reality.
