@Alther 25 February 2025 more from that month

The end of the world, when will it happen? The question of the title is part of the reminder and conveyance to every human being who lives life. The Prophet Muhammad S.A.W has given his message as "signs" relating to the end times. There are three Hadiths that are related to the signs of the end times, including the acceleration of time, the easy accessibility of markets, and the prevalence of deception. One of the relevant traditions is: **1. Time Feels Fast** The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: *"The Hour will not come until time draws near, a year feels like a month, a month feels like a week, a week feels like a day, a day feels like an hour, and an hour feels like a blaze of fire."* (HR. Ahmad and Tirmidhi) **2. Easily Accessible Market** In one of the traditions, the Prophet ﷺ mentioned that at the end of time, the market will be very close, which can be interpreted as trading getting easier and faster: *"Among the signs of the Hour will be the abundance of fitnah, rampant lies, and the markets becoming close."* (HR Ahmad and Al-Hakim) **3. The abundance of deceit** The Prophet ﷺ also warned that at the end of time there will be a lot of deceit and fraud in trade: *"There will come to mankind a time when a man will not care where he gets his wealth, whether from the lawful or the unlawful."* (HR. Bukhari) From the three Hadiths above, it is clear that it is a reminder and realization for us as humans, where now it is indeed proof of these signs that we have lived. Where now time is passing faster, the existence of a market that is easily accessible with the advancement of technology and the internet and the rampant kind of deception like ponzi, deceptive news, and ignorance of the problem of knowledge. So an Advisory to Remember Death As a way to avoid the sin and fitnah of the end times, where the Prophet ﷺ recommends to increase the remembrance of death: *"Remember the breaker of all pleasures (death)."* (HR. Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and Ahmad) Remembering death will help a person to be more careful in his actions, avoid sin, and focus on good deeds. -==-
