The trial of the Dajjaal (Alah’s curse be upon him) is extra ordinary the world will see things that are not normal because the world he will try to rule already does extra ordinary things so He will have to outshine that for people take notice of him. He (Allah’s curse be upon him) will take what the world is already doing, utilising sihr (dark Madic) and technology to enslave the world under one government and turn that dial all the way to ten, what America is doing now He will do and take it to extremes because America is the one who set up the system of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him). The book of revelations is almost entirely dedicated to this fact, it describes the system that will enslave the world, the capitalism America invented and the Sihr (Dakr Magic) it adopted from the British empire which Iblis gave them, and about all this the prophet (saws) said towards the end of time a people will come who will set up the system that the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) will use against people.

“And they followed (instead) what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, (by) teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, “We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic].” (2:102)

The type of sihr being utilised is primarily done by the Jinn that accompany people their is little effort on the part of these people except to give the Jinn access to who they want to attack, it was the Jinn who taught sihr to people in the time of Sulaiman (ra) and it is the Jinn in our time doing this, they use the people they are attached to, to empower their sihr with that persons evil behaviour and they perform Isharat (signs) for these people telling them how to behave, act and talk so they achieve their goals, exactly as the book of revelations described, the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon ) will likewise have shayateen (devils) with him doing the exact same thing these occult people are doing but to greater effect.

He will say to people “What do you think if I bring your father and mother back to life for you? Will you bear witness that I am your Lord?” The Bedouin will say; “Yes,” so two devils (wiht him) will assume the appearance of his father and mother”

The Messenger of Allaah (saws) said: ‘The Dajjaal will emerge at a time when religious commitment is low and knowledge has decreased… Then ‘Isa ibn Maryam will descend just before dawn and will call people, saying, ‘O people, what is stopping you from coming out against this evil liar?’ They will say, ‘This man is a jinn’ (Ahmad)

The Prophet (saws) said: He who amongst you would survive to see him (the Dajjaal) should recite over him the opening verses of Sura Kahf (18 in the Quran). He would appear (first become apparent to people who he is) on the way between Syria and Iraq and would spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! adhere (to the path of Truth). We said: Allah’s Messenger, how long would he stay on the earth? He said.. For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days. We said: Allah’s Messenger, would one day’s prayer suffice for the prayers of the day equal to one year? Thereupon he said: No, but you must make an estimate of time (calculate your obligations and needs). We said: Allah’s Messenger, how quickly would he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he said: Like a cloud driven by the wind. He would come to the people and invite them and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He would then (use technology and) give command to the sky and there would be rainfall upon the earth and it would grow crops. Then in the evening, their posturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched.

He would then come to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he would go away from them and there would be drought for them (he will use technology and science against them) and nothing would be left with them in the form of wealth. He would then walk through the waste, land and say to it: Bring forth your treasures, and the treasures would come out and collect (themselves) before him like the swarm of bees (this is a simile for the resources underneath the ground, they will swarm like bees means resources will be discovered one after the other very quickly, this is how the prophet (saws) described the secrets of the earth being discovered in another hadith). He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (he will use science to resurrect a person) and it would be at this very time that Allah would send Christ, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he would lower his head, there would fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he would raise it up, beads like pearls would scatter from it. Every non-believer who would smell the odour of his self would die and his breath would reach as far as he would be able to see. He would then search for him (the Dajjaal) until he would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd (in Palestine) and would kill him.

Then a people whom Allah had protected (more than likely of Jewish origin who converted because of the Mahdi, as other Ahadith mention, it is also a Jewish prophecy in the torah) would come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that Allah would reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur (in Egypt), and then Allah would send Gog and Magog (who had followed the Dajjaal that now had been killed) and they would swarm down from every slope (seeking vengeance, they are more than likely the Buddhist and Hindus of Asia who share a similar lineage with the original Gog and Magog tribes, Gog and Magog where the Dajjals first supporters when He emerged so whoever joined his ranks became one of them). The first of them would pass the lake of Tiberius and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass, he would say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions would then be besieged here (at Tur, and they would be so hard pressed) that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one hundred dinars, and Allah’s Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would supplicate Allah, Who would send to them insects (a simile for a disease which would attack Gog and Magog’s necks) and in the morning they would perish like one single person (this is because the disease is engineered to only attack one type of Dna marker and most of Gog and Gagog have a similar lineage back to Nuh). Allah’s Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then come down to the earth and they would not find in the earth (in their region) as much space as a single span which is not filled with their putrefaction and stench.

Allah’s Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then again beseech Allah, Who would send birds whose necks would be like those of bactrin camels and they would carry them and throw them where Allah would will. Then Allah would send rain which no house of clay or (the tent of) camels’ hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it could appear to be a mirror. (People will then live with Isa (as) and during his life time) Then the earth would be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there would grow (such big) pomegranate that a group of persons would be able to eat that, and seek shelter under its skin and milk cows would give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it. And the milk camels would give such (a large quantity of) milk that the whole tribe would be able to drink out of that and the milk sheep would give so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that (then after Isa (as) dies 40 years later) and at that time Allah would send a pleasant wind which would soothe (people) even under their armpits, and would take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them. (Sahih Muslim, Book 55, Hadith 7559)

The world of VR (virtual reality) is beginning with technology like the oculus rift and vibe recently being released; The Messenger of Allah said, “I know more about what the Dajjaal has with him than he himself knows. With him are two flowing rivers; in the vision of the eye (illusions and sihr, people will be brainwashed using technology while they sit with him), the first one is white water; in the vision of the eye, the second one is burning fire. If he (the Dajjaal) reaches one of you, then let him go to the one he sees as being fire and let him close his eyes. Then let him bend his head and drink, for it is indeed cold water…” (Muslim)

The river is white water in the vision of the eye, so the river is a metaphor, and the command to drink is then also a metaphor. The VR technology of today is just the first step, eventually they will connect these devices to your body so you feel and sense everything, like your almost living a dream, most people experience dreams like they experience real life, they feel, sense and taste everything but none of it is the real world.

This is our body doing it on it’s own, all this is an informed educated guess based on where technology is directly headed, if we wanted to theorise then we would say they will find a way to interface with mans senses using the bodies electromagnetic field, which is just the same field mobile phones use to communicate and they will use holographic technology to drive the VR experience, holographic technology was originally fuelled by movies like star wars but they have began developing it and Japan has simple working prototypes.

Once we imagine a holographic virtual reality which you walk into, that interfaces with mans senses, like the holodeck on star trek, then we can see why it was described like a white flowing river in the minds eye by the prophet (saws), your living a dreamlike scene  that you can sense, taste and almost touch, this is the Dawah tools of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him), today we use powerpoint or keynote presentations he will use the latest technology to teach his message.

Once mainstream quantum computers become available the world will change because of what can become possible with them, today we have quad core computers which is just 4 old style cpu’s stuck together on the same chip, with quantum computers that number four will increase by an almost infinite number by comparison, this is the difference in computing power.

With technology they will be able to create the same thing as dreams, the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) is a sahir (occultist) who uses sihr to change peoples beliefs and delude them, he will also use technology to achieve this, so the ways of sihr will increase as technology increases and he will come at a time in the future when man would have solved the problem of mainstream quantum computers, the first super computers based of the principles of quantum mechanics have already been built.

Hence it is more than likely the two rivers are things based on VR technology that he will use on people, and because He is selling the opposite of religion his idea of what Jannah (heaven) is, materialism, lust etc is Hell for anyone who adopts it (experiences it this way) because it is an addiction and it will be instant. While His idea of Hell which is religion and asceticism he will dress both as poverty, hardship and lack of wealth so they look like hell to people looking at them because ascetic’s (Awliya) rid themselves of material distractions to focus the self. But when people go to it and experience it they will see it is salam, inner peace, harmony and calmness in the self, this is the comparison to the fire that is lust and materialism which he will promote.

Imam Ibn Kathir mentions the Dajaals (Allah’s curse be upon him) stay on Earth “He will remain for a period of forty days on earth; one day will be like a year, one day will be like a month, and one day will be like a week; the rest of his days will be like the (normal) days of the people. This averages out to one year, two and a half months.” This is calculated by adding one year (a day like a year) plus one month (a day like a month) plus one week (a day like a week) and the remaining days…equalling to One year, Two months (60 days) and Two weeks (14 days).

The following Hadith of the Prophet (saws) indicates this is what is meant by this length of time: “We said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, for the day which is like a year (so he will be on earth for at least one year), will one days prayers be sufficient? He said, ‘No, you must make an estimate of the time, and then observe the prayers” (aqdarhu lahu qadrahu) (Muslim)

The basic advice means the length of time is a single year in which more than one days prayer will be needed, so then why would the prophet (saws) say one year will be like a day making the companion wonder about the obligations of prayer during this time. The underlaying assumption in the translation (not the words of the companions) is that the day and night cycle will alter, hence the translation shouldn’t be confused with the prophet’s (saws) reply, the sun will not stay shinning for a single year, and a single day will not literally last for a years period of time.

It may seem the companions (ra) have assumed this literalness, but the prophet (saws) did not affirm this assumption in his reply, and he knew what he meant by their words.

It is more reasonable to assume the companions understood his words and asked the question in relation to it’s deeper context, which is lost in translation, they asked will the religious obligation’s of one normal day be enough to support us spiritually for this year you labelled a “Day”, because the prophet said this year will be experienced like a day, so then what will Allah expect of us to help us spiritually. If the prophet called this year, a Day, then does Allah still require the five daily prayers or will he stretch out the obligation over a year, the prophet (saws) said that you must “observe what is decreed” meaning observe what is owed to protect your self, these are his literal words in Arabic “aqdarhu lahu qadrahu”.

Unlike the translation in arabic the word “time” is not used in the prophets reply (aqdarhu lahu qadrahu) the translator added this himself, the translation is missing the depth of the conversation and the literal reply of the prophet (saws), who said “observe what is necessary for it”.

A muslim’s life is regulated by his worship, Allah made five prayers obligatory upon us each day, but they are the minimum that must be done to still be considered a muslim, or a person on the path of Islam. Those who achieved Ihsan (Human perfection) as the prophet (saws) did would pray more than this, as much as they saw they needed in order to protect themselves from human imperfection’s and the harms of this world, which the light of their prayer helped them with.

Because of the prophets response it is more than likely the word salat (prayer) is meant in the wider sense of prayer and not strictly the five obligatory prayers, this hadith would then be translated as “We said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, for the day which is like a year, will one days worship be sufficient? (worship here means more than the obligatory salat, it is the 5 prayers, their Sunnah, Dhikr, Dua, recitation of the Quran, any worship a Muslim would do in a normal day) He replied, observe it’s obligations and calculate your needs” (aqdarhu lahu qadrahu), so the question is rather will our normal deed suffice for the fitnah of the Dajjal or will we need to do anything else besides them, this is because the companions understood their worship is a protection for them from troubles in the world so will that be enough for them.

They understood the complexity of the issue’s otherwise we would have to assume something ridiculous in the literalness of the translation, and that is the sun will be standing still for one year, on one spot on earth while the other is in darkness and you will have to measure time between prayers and then observe them as you would during normal days, which is an interpretation the scholars have historically always avoided giving this hadith and simply said they don’t know it’s meaning.

The Arabic spoken is classical Arabic and often the same words would be used in deeper conversations that would otherwise have a simple meaning but the context of the conversation would dictate the alternate meaning and the subtle changes in the construction of the sentence, hence “One day like a year” does not literally mean a single day “will be like year”.

The prophet next in the hadith, which is much lengthier and hasn’t been quoted in it’s entirety, advised that who ever lives to see the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) should recite the opening verses of Surah al Kahf (chapter 18) against him, the nature of the conversation is spiritual advice and what protects one spiritually.

What is missing from the context is our own understanding of what prayer is for, and what man achieves by it, because when we see that prayer is a tool that a person uses, then we can understand the companions concern over it, they were not being lazy asking could we get away with one days prayer in a single year, they were the best community Allah brought forth all of whom were extremely dedicated to Islam, they were trying to look after their own needs and Iman (faith).

One day like a year means the Baraka (light) that would be present in a single day, man will receive or find it over a single year instead, people will face this attrition during the time of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him).

Some took this saying of Rasul Allah (saws) literally but to illustrate He (saws) intended something figurative here is another version of it in which He (saws) explains it another way:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘His (Dajjal’s) days will number forty years: a year like half a year, a year like a month, a month like a week, and the rest of his days will be like sparks from a fire (quick and fleeting). One of you will enter the gate of Al-Madinah in the morning and not reach its other gate until evening comes (Madinah was smaller in the time of the prophet (saws)).’ It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how should we pray on those short days?’  He said: ‘Estimate (the times of) the prayer, as you do on these long days, then pray (Pray as normal, they did not understand the day will still be 24 hours long).’ (Sunan Ibn Majah 4077)

Ultimately this is describing the reality of life people will experience, like modern life made life seem fast paced until people began to see it only that way, while if you live on a farm it seems slow and they know no other kind of life.

Because this is the main reason why the fitna of the Dajjaal is so grave and the worst event that mankind will face since Allah placed man on earth, it is important to understand it and it’s nature. It basically means there will be little spiritual light present in the world during his first year on earth, to understand the significance of this we have to know what Baraka, light, is and why man needs it.

To know the importance of baraka in a practical manner, and how it relates to our life would take an entire work, and we have addressed this in a book elsewhere, but to sum up, the spiritual world often spoken about is the subatomic part of our universe that particles like light (photons) exist in it is behind the blessings of worship on our life.

This is the significance of worship which the companions were asking about during the time of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him), the human heart through prayer produces an increased amount of light that helps man’s higher functions, it will be important during the time of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) when a year will be like a day in what man receives and He will need his psychological strength to resist his lies.

But all this is simply the human aspect of the matter, if the Baraka is withheld from the entire earth then it’s ramifications are far wider, affecting most creatures on earth, they rely on the electromagnetic field to sense the world around them, in most cases to avoid danger, navigate or find prey.

This is the test of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) man will face from Allah during this time, the first year he is on earth man will receive in a year what he would normally receive in a day, then in a month he will receive what he receive’s in a day and then he will receive the same over a week.

This may all be referring to a cosmological event that will affect the solar system on a quantum level during this time, or it could be due to the fact earth is hit by an asteroid creating some global change which he will take advantage of and emerge, possibly the shifting of earths orbit. We have to also keep in mind that one of the later signs of the hour is the sun rising from the opposite direction and this could be the first precursor to that, Allah himself changing something in the subatomic universe that will cause this effect during the time of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him).

Another obvious matter which could be the cause of this spiritual deprivation are the Jinn, most Jinn nowadays are devils involved in shir (dark magic) because they use it to get what they want, the prophet (saws) said that every person on earth “… There is assigned to him a companion from among the jinn and a companion from among the angels” (Muslim), the Jinn will be the first to know about the emergence of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) who they consider to be like their master they have been waiting for, it is more than likely that when he emerges most Jinn on earth will turn on the human they are assigned to to try and convince them of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him), so mankind will be spiritually besieged for the first year of his emergence, but this effort will wane afterwards.

When we consider Quantum Mechanics other mechanisms affecting life, based on the laws of physics, can be enumerated such as the coherence of waves, the ability of particle waves to connect and communicate with each other.

The Human Bodie’s electromagnetic field will interact with other fields around it and other people’s perceptive organs pick this up. Scientist are beginning to realize that human consciousness is a state of matter, like a Liquid, Solid or Gas, and that it is similarly made from matter and particles but only subatomic like light, and it is subject to the same laws of physics that govern the rest of the Universe.

What we know as consciousness is the result of the bodies interaction with the universe around it on all levels right down to the subatomic world. Because the brain and nervous system are a distributed parallel processing system, it can compute multiple things at the same time and act on each simultaneously, so consciousness is born out of the sum of those interactions in the body. How man is inspired is relevant to both scenarios we have outlined above, that of a cosmological change affecting mans physiology or that of the Jinn attacking him through his consciousness because the way through which they harm man is via the same mechanisms in his body.

It is very significant that it was in Surah al Shams (The Sun, 91) that Allah took one of the most significant oaths in the Quran regarding this very nature of Man and its connection to the subatomic universe, the objects in space and their radiance or the quantum fields they generate…Allah said;

91:1   CONSIDER the sun and its radiant brightness,

91:2   and the moon as it reflects the sun!

91:3   Consider the day as it reveals the (sun to the) world,

91:4   and the night as it veils it darkly!

91:5   Consider the sky and its wondrous make,

91:6   and the earth and all its expanse!

91:7   Consider the human self, and how it is formed in accordance with what it is meant to be,

91:8   And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.

91:9   To a happy state shall indeed attain he who causes this [self] to grow in purity (Zakaha),

91:10   and truly lost is he who buries it [in darkness].

91:11   TO [THIS] TRUTH gave the lie, in their overweening arrogance, [the tribe of] Thamud…

Allah (swt) says that regarding the reality of All these things which he swore by, the tribe of Thamud “gave a lie to” (91:11), meaning they not only new what this chapter meant but lied about it, lied that Allah was the cause behind all this, one thing we now about Ancient cultures is their fascination and obsession with the celestial bodies and the inspiration they receive through them, Here Allah is explaining the immediate effects of how this all worked because what occurs with the Sun affects us here on earth starting with our weather and ending with our mood and perception that are subject to it’s subatomic fields.

Allah not only asks us to consider the sun and its brightness (solar activity) but the moon that reflects the sun, which is the other body in space affecting earth on a subatomic level (91:2) and how the suns solar activity reaches us, then He asks us to consider the cycle between increased activity in the fields they generate around the earth and decreased activity by saying, “Consider the day as it reveals the (sun to the) world (91:3), and the night as it veils it darkly!” (91:4), scientist have been measuring these effects, using sun spots, for a few hundred years, their peak effects are during the day and weakest at night.

Allah then asks us to consider this relationship with the sky and how it is made (91:5) and the whole earth, its expanse and how this is spread over it (91:6), then to think about how this is connected to the human self and how it is formed (91:7) to sense all of it and how through the soul this inspires and affects its conciseness of what is right for it and what is wrong for it (91:8), in other words how the body senses the subatomic world around it. He will be happy who causes his soul to grow (91:9) and purifies him self and He will be wretched who buries it in darkness (91:10), the soul is made from subatomic particles and here Allah is saying it is affected by subatomic activity on earth through the celestial bodies in space.

In Arabic the word consider is translated according to the intention of Allah with this oath, but literally the oath in Arabic reads: By the sun and its radiant brightness, By the moon as it reflects the sun! By the day as it reveals the (sun to the) world, By the night as it veils it darkly! By the sky and its wondrous make, By the earth and all its expanse! By the human self, and how it is formed…

The intent is to consider these things been sworn by in greater detail and how they relate to each other and mans soul, Allah then mentions that this relationship the Tribe of Thamud (7:73) which the Prophet Saleh (saws) was sent to guide, lied about it, and ignored the reality between the things Allah swore by and Himself, consequently they were destroyed because of their evil along with most Ancient civilizations that worshiped the celestial bodies rather than the one who created them along with the eco system they exist in.

Their depth of knowledge regarding the celestial bodies and their effect on human consciousness shouldn’t be surprising since nearly all ancient cultures around the world had an advanced understanding of these celestial bodies and their effects on the human self. While we focused on technology, their way of life is reflected in their religion and the elaborate structures they constructed and left behind in perfect alignment with the movement of the celestial bodies in space, meaning they wanted to know what these bodies would be doing in the future so they could tell how mean will be influenced by them. The structures marked their elaborate movements through the sky for the sake of tracking their influence on the human self.

No one has ever claimed Man evolved in the last few thousand years which is why the technological world exists, rather we have had the same capacity for intelligence throughout history but in the ancient world man applied himself in a different direction with the same complexity we witness in our world in the absence of electricity.

Some of these tribes took to worshiping these celestial bodies instead of Allah for a very real reason they witnessed, but they failed to perceive that beyond all of this there is something even greater, they saw the celestial bodies as the source of inspiration, power and influence on human life, which Allah in nearly all scripture condemned because it was short sighted since He was their creator and said that through them He inspired the soul. The soul is the most subatomic “part” of mans body made entirely from subatomic particles that are subject to the laws of physics, Quantum Mechanics.

Man during the time of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) can not rely on the strength of his character because he will be attacked from within himself either by the Jinn who will swarm over his senses creating a state of spiritual deprivation or because something atmospheric has occurred hindering his senses, he will rather have to rely on Allah to overcome this trial whose aim is to show man the importance of Allah on earth in the same way we view the importance of the atmosphere to keeping us alive, Allah plays an important part in life every day we don’t notice just like man did not notice the atmosphere for thousands of years, in this way what is with in man’s self will come to the fore, in times of adversity mans inner character will show and each person has to decide in that moment if he will stay on the course he is presently on or change. Allah will test the hearts of Mankind with the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) to show what they have been hiding in their hearts.

Another significant event that could be the cause behind a year being like a day, although it is difficult to articulate without mentioning to much physics, is the death of most animals on earth due to the three year of drought before the Dajjaal’s (Allah’s curse be upon him) emergence the absence of animals on earth would make it feel desolate and almost lifeless affecting man spiritually. It is more than likely that this year of hardship will be because of these three things occurring on earth, the Asteroid hitting earth, the Jinn attacking man and the animals dying, the Jinn rely on animals like man and their death will cause them great distress leading great numbers of them to follow the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) when he emerges.

Ibn Maaja narrated that “There will be three hard years before the Dajjaal appears. During them, people will be stricken by a great famine. In the first year, Allah will command the sky to withhold a third of it’s rain, and the earth to withhold a third of it’s produce. In the second year, Allah will command the sky to withhold two thirds of it’s rain, and the earth to withhold two thirds of it’s produce. In the third year, Allah will command the sky to withhold all of it’s rain, and it will not rain a single drop of rain. He will command the earth to withhold all of it’s produce, and no plant will grow. All hoofed animals will perish, except that which Allah wills. He was asked “What will sustain people during this time?” He said, Tahlil, Takbir and Tahmid. (Saying La ilaha illa Llah, Allahu Akbar and al Hamdulilah). This will sustain them as food does.”

To illustrate the relevance of this drought, if we walk into a rainforest we would sense the forest is brimming with life, due to life’s electromagnetic field that creatures produce it is the source behind us sensing other life in the forest long before we ever saw anything, in a similar way earth itself is brimming with life around us that we can sense just by walking outside, now imagine all animal life on earth died in three years, this will also kill many insects and other creatures that rely on them because entire eco systems are connected to each other.

Each one of these species individually produce an electromagnetic field that impacts their larger surroundings collectively, and us ultimately, if mass populations of wildlife all suddenly died out there would be a massive void of life on earth, the earth will be deprived of it’s baraka. It would be like turning the entire earth from a rain forest to a metropolitan concrete jungle that is now void of wildlife and the benefits man derives from it simply by being in it’s presence, the earth would be almost dead after this three year drought.

This may seem foreign because it is new but Allah has spoken about something similar in a different context which we all know, this type of “subatomic” deprivation mankind will similarly suffer on the day of judgment, except on that day Mankind wont receive light from his natural surroundings and self, he will only be granted it in exact measure by Allah, according to each persons deeds in life and being deprived of it will cause great suffering very similar to what man will face during the time of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him).

“On that Day shall the hypocrites, both men and women, speak [thus] unto those who have attained to faith: “Wait for us! Let us have a [ray of] light from your light!” (they will be deprived of light causing them to suffer so they will chase people to take it from them) [But] they will be told: “Turn back, and seek a light [of your own]!” And thereupon a (large) wall will be raised between them [and the believers], with a gate in it (stoping the Hypocrites from bothering the believers): within it will be grace and mercy (for the believers), and against the outside thereof, suffering” (for the hypocrites who are deprived completely of light).(57:13)

Being deprived of sunlight for extended periods will cause depression and suffering this is just part of mans physiology, he needs light to do many things. The deprivation of light on that day will cause worse suffering, and Allah granting it will cause grace and mercy becouse physiologically both grace and mercy are products of man being in a state of abundance while suffering is caused by the human body being deprived, “for he to whom Allah gives no light, no light whatever has he!” (24:20), if man’s senses are deprived his character begins to depress and suffer, then eventually his will, will crumble causing a major state of depression. This naturally occurs to people who spend a lot of time indoors and they often need to exercise just to stop this from happening.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said on the day of resurrection “Then a bridge will be laid over the Fire.” That will lead to Heaven, all mankind must cross it before entering, Allah’s Apostle added, “I will be the first to cross it. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day, will be ‘Allahukka Sallim, Sallim, (O Allah, save us, save us!),’ and over that bridge there will be hooks (coming from Hell) Similar to the thorns of As Sa’dan (a thorny tree). Haven’t you seen the thorns of As-Sa’dan?” The companions said, “Yes, O Allah’s Apostle.” He added, “So the hooks over that bridge will be like the thorns of As-Sa’dan except that their greatness in size is only known to Allah. These hooks will snatch the people according to their deeds. Some people will be ruined because of their evil deeds, and some will be cut into pieces and fall down in Hell, but will be saved afterwards, when Allah has finished the judgments among His slaves, (he will) intend to take out of the Fire whoever He wishes to take out from among those who used to testify that none had the right to be worshipped but Allah.” (Bukhari)

Allah linked our deeds in life to what He will grant us in the next life, which is all connected through physics and physiology with the universe, this on the day of judgment is represented by our ability while passing over the bridge Sirat, “Some people will be ruined because of their evil deeds”. Crossing the Bridge depends on everybody’s light that Allah will grant them, the prophet (saws) said “He who has very little light (his body won’t function normally being deprived, he) will creep facedown. His hands and feet will slip, and he will cling to it again. At long last, he will break free from it by creeping and creeping.” (Tabarani)

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri narrated: We, the companions of the Prophet said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is the bridge?’ He said, “It is a slippery (bridge) on which there are clamps and (Hooks like) a thorny seed that is wide at one side and narrow at the other and has thorns with bent ends. Such a thorny seed is found in Najd and is called As-Sa’dan. Some of the believers (because of their light) will cross the bridge as quickly as the blink of an eye, some others as quick as lightning, (others like) a strong wind, (others like) fast horses or she-camels (all because of the light they receive). So some will be safe without any harm; some will be safe after receiving some scratches, and some will fall down into Hell. The last person will cross by being dragged over the bridge.” (Bukhari)

Three years before the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) comes out, there will be three years of hardship, during which the people will be afflicted by severe hunger because of the drought. So it was said: “How will the people live at that time?” He said: “By declaring Allah’s oneness [at-tahlil], magnifying Him [at-takbir], glorifying Him [at-tasbih] and praising Him [at-tahmid]. That will fulfill the same function as food for them” it’s light will sustain them through the baraka of their acts, and subdue hunger pains.

The prophet (saws) said “He will have forty days to journey through the earth”; but these days are not normal days, because “one day from that will be like a year”; intense spiritual deprivation will last for a year, then “one day will be like a month”; the intensity of deprivation will diminish, then “one day will be like a Jumu’ah (a week); it will continue to diminish “and the rest of his days will be like these days of yours”.

He will travel the world spreading his false beliefs, then after claiming prophethood he will spread his false religion (way of life), and then after claiming divinity he will spread his Kufr of Allah entirely, all of which will be to test Mankind who where playing with the very things he is now using against them. Mankind turned to the occult so the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) will test them with it, they combined this with technology to delude man so he will also test them with it, they invented ideologies to enslave man so he will also test them with it, they used psychology to dissect mans nature and turn it against him and so he will also test them with it.

“There is no Creator (save Him) Who created the heavens and the earth. (He quickeneth) for the Resurrection in the life of the world; (your Lord and Lord of your forefathers) your Creator and the Creator of your forefathers before you.” (Tanwir al Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn Abbas, 44:8)

The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (saws) said: “Some people will come on the Day of Judgement and their Imaan (faith) will be outstanding, its light will shine from their chests and from their right hands. So it will be said to them, glad tidings for you today, Assalaamu alaykum and goodness for you, enter into it (Jannah) forever!’ So the angels and the Prophets will be jealous of the love of Allah for them.

So the Sahabah (companions) asked, ‘ who are they O Messenger of Allah?’ He (saws) replied, “They are not from us and they are not from you. You are my companions but they are my beloved. They will come after you and will find the book (the Qur’an) made redundant by the people, and a Sunnah which has been killed by them. So they will grab hold of the book and the Sunnah and revive them.

So they will read them and teach them (the Qur’an and the Sunnah) to the people and they will experience in that path a punishment more severe and more ugly than what you (Sahabah) have experienced. Indeed, the Imaan of one of them is equivalent to the Imaan of forty of you. The Shaheed (martyrs) of one of them is equivalent to forty of your Shuhadaa’. Because you found a helper towards the truth (the Prophet) and they will find no helper towards the truth. So they will be surrounded by tyrant rulers in every place, and they will be in the surroundings of Bayt ul-Maqdis (al-Quds, at that time). The Nussrah (victorious support) of Allah will come to them, and they will have the honor of it on their hands.” Then he (saws) said “O Allah give them the Nussrah and make them my close friends in Jannah.” (Ahmed)

Allah said “I swear by time, Most surely man is in loss, Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience” (103:1-3).
