The End of time will come all of a sudden. The holy Qur'an tells us that it will appear to people as if they have tarried a single evening on Earth. The knowledge of the final Hour is with the Almighty God alone. When the Hour comes the moon would be cleft asunder. The serious question at this stage is how prepared are we for the final Hour; the exact timing of it, as mentioned already, is only known to the Almighty God, the most exalted and has not reveal it to any one. Mass production and mass organisation have blinded mankind, societies and nations. Mankind has become so engrossed in material things to the extent that they take no notice of the signs of the final Hour that are now evident every where. Instead mankind has chosen to waste precious time in ephemeral things. A brave soldier, who left his sword behind in his house and went out to fight with the scabbard: Indeed, any one who forgets the Day of meeting with his or her creator, will go empty handed into the Eternal Home and face the wrath of God on the Judgement Day.

Chapter One
The Signs of the End of Time
The Signs of the End of Time are of different categories. There will be minor signs and major signs. Among the minor signs include the sayings of Anas Ibn Malik, who was one of the companions of the holy prophet Muhammad (PBH). He said that the holy prophet (PBH) says that knowledge of all that is righteous will disappear, and ignorance will appear. To day, how many people know that no force on earth can defeat the man with absolute faith in the Almighty God. Even if the enemy rush you in a hot chase, your Lord will help you with at least five thousand angels clearly marked?. How many people know today that it is needless to grieve when misfortune befall us, because similar wound hath touched the others: That the Almighty God gives to men turn by turn, to know those who are true in Faith and those who are not?. How many people today know that all the prophets of the Almighty God, with their followers fought in God's way and met disasters in the process, but not one of them lost heart or weaken in will, nor give in; for the Almighty God loves those who are steadfast?. All that they said was: "Our Lord forgive us our sins and anything we may have done that transgressed our duty: Establish our feet firmly and help us against those who resist Faith". How many men today know that the Almighty God is their protector, and the best of helpers?. Instead, when faced with a trial from the Almighty God, they rushed headlong to seek assistance from Lucifer. They have forgotten to know that the Almighty God often allow one distress after another to befall a believer as a test of such a believer's faith in Him. Because of ignorance, they have forgotten to know that the Almighty God is well aware of all that we do. They have forgotten to know that God's forgiveness and mercy are far better than all the wealth of this world". Because of ignorance, man has forgotten to know that help comes only from the Almighty God and if God helps a person, none can overcome him or her, and if He forsakes a person, none can help him or her. How many men today know that if they face the greatest army on earth, and say before clashing with them "God is enough for us as protector and as guardian", and then confront the enemies and will see such enemies going in disarray. Again because of ignorance mankind now blame the melting Ozone Layer, on the heat emitted into the atmosphere by mass produced factories of the world, instead of on sins' that mankind now commit habitually with impunity. They have forgotten to know that all the heat emitted into the atmosphere by all the factories on the surface of the globe, cannot be equivalent to one iota of the heat from a ray from the sun. Therefore, as the rays of the sun fail to melt the Ozone layer, it is only the ignorant person that can believe the scientist' fallacious theory and argument that the mere gas emission into the atmosphere was the cause of the climate change.
Mankind has forgotten the covenant all creatures made with the Almighty God from the beginning; Abu Jaffar, AL-Kazi narrated on the authority of Ubai Ibn Ka'b that the holy prophet Muhammad (PBH) whose advent was foretold by Jesus Christ, son of Mary says (that one day), the Almighty God assembled all creatures that will come to being until the Day of Judgement: He created them from their loins, then made them to speak and made covenant with the Almighty God thus:
1. God said: "Am I not your Lord?" 2. They all replied: "Yes, you are our Lord, God".
3. Then God said: "You should know that there is not deity worthy of worship other than Me, no Lord but Me, so never you associate anything, with Me as an object of worship".
4. They all answered: "We bear witness that you are our only Lord and God. There is no Lord for us other than you, and no god for us other than you. This is our (oath of) allegiance we pledge with thee; O! Our Lord God."
5. Then God said: "I will make seven (7) heavens and earths as well as your father Adam to bear witness against you, in order not to claim on the Day of Judgement that you have no knowledge concerning this".
6. God (further) said: "I will send you messengers to warn you of (this) my covenant and will reveal to you my Book".
This covenant is what is called "Faith" in religion of the God Almighty –meaning "None is worthy of worship besides the Almighty God" and this is what is called "Laillaha Illallaha" in Islamic religion. That is the essence of the religion of the Almighty God, and part and parcel of one's existence. Had this covenant not been erased from the Old Testament and New Testament, majority of Christians the world over, would have given serious thought to the doctrine of "Trinity" and vicarious atonement. Jesus Christ, son of Mary says: "As God liveth, it is a great sin to forget the word of God (i.e the covenant) wherewith He made all things, whereby He offereth Thee eternal life".
The other minor signs of the nearnessness of the final Hour is "adultery" that will be prevalent, the same with the drinking of wine. The number of men will decrease and the number of women will increase until there will be fifty (50) women to be looked after by one man. And there will be much killings. Adultery is now an accepted norm in the world, in the guise of human right, and civilization; the same applies to pornography, single parents, homosexuality and they are altogether a fulfilment of the holy prophet (PBH)'s prophecy on the signs of the End of Time. Again, that the Jews would split into seventy –one sects and that only one of the sects would enter Paradise; that the Christians would split into seventy –two sects, and only one of the sects would enter Paradise. That the Muslims would split into seventy-three sects, and that only one of the sects would enter Paradise, and that would be the main body of the Muslims: This means those who would rely solely on the holy Quran and the Haddith; and without introducing any changes or imposing their own confused ideas.
The holy prophet (PBH) further emphasised that five things would indicate the nearnessness of the "Hour":
1. "When fornication becomes widespread you should realise that this has never happened without new diseases befalling the people" such as HIV-AID diseases now ravaging the world.
2. "When people begin to cheat in weighing goods, you should know that this has never happened without drought and famine befalling the people, and their rulers oppressing them". The re-bagging of imported rice and Cement by merchants, fake drugs, the tyranny and injustice...
