1b] Islam: The most rapidly expanding religion in Europe

1b] at that time would be a stack. (Sunan Ibn-i Majah)
… The dwellers of the heavens and the earth will be pleased. The earth
will bring forth all that grows, and the heavens will pour down rains
in abundance. From all the good that God will bestow on the
inhabitantsof the earth, the living will wish that the dead would come
to life again.
(Muhkhtasar Tazkirah Qurtubi, p. 437)
The earth would turn like the silver tray growing vegetation... (Sunan
Ibn-i Majah)
The earth will be filled with equity and justice as it was pre viously
filled with oppression and tyranny. (Abu Dawud)
Justice will prevail to suchan extent that every possession taken by
force will be returned to his owner; furthermore, someother person's
thing, even if it rests within one's teeth, will be given back to its
owner... Security willpermeate all over Earth and even a few ladies
willbe able to fulfil their hajj without the company of men. (Ibn
Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar, p. 23)
Based upon these statements, the Golden Age will be an era in which
justice, plenty, abundance, well-being, security, peace, and
brotherhood will prevail among humanity, and one in which people will
experience love, self-sacrifice, tolerance, compassion, mercy, and
loyalty. In his sayings, our Prophet, may God bless him and grant him
peace, says that this blessed period will be experienced through the
mediation of the Mahdi, who will come in the end times to save the
world form chaos, injustice, and moral collapse. He will eradicate
godless ideologies and bring an end to the prevailing injustice.
Moreover, he will make religion like it was in the days of our Prophet
(peace be upon him), cause the Qur'an's moral teachings to
prevailamong humanity, and establish peace and well-being throughout
the world.
The rise of Islam being experienced in the world today, as well as
Turkey's role in the new era are important signs that the period
announced in the Qur'an and in our Prophet's sayings is very close. It
is our heartfelt desire that God will let us witness this blessed
time.
