Some people may not be familiar with the concept of the "end times." For this reason, it will be useful to explain this concept shortly. The end times refers to a period which precedes the end of the world according to Islam.
When we bring the signs in the Qur'an and the detailed explanations in the hadiths of the Prophet (saas) together, we come to an important conclusion. The verses of the Qur'an and the hadiths of the Prophet (saas) indicate that the end times have two stages. The first period is one in which material and spiritual problems dominate the world; the second period to come is called the Golden Age, a time when the moral teaching of the Qur'an will dominate producing a deep sense of well-being in every sphere. When the Golden Age comes to an end and the world quickly enters a social decline, the coming of the last day is at hand.
RE: End Of Times
let us hope that is a long time in the future then.:D
All things must pass, this is in the Bible.
We must too. Humanity will pass this is for sure, you only have to look at the history of the world to see this. With luck we will evolve and understand the true meaning of Spirit before this happens.

RE: End Of Times
Dear cinomi
"end of the world according to Islam"
The end of the world means the end of the world as we have known it.
We and the planet are going through the birth pains now.
"The first period is one in which material and spiritual problems dominate the world"
Yes the last battle between dark and light forces are now being played out on this planet. The power is with the spiritual man and woman of light to bring about positive change by taking compassionate action and concerted effort. To face the iron fist with the steel of God's truth of peace, love, freedom, unity and the brotherhood of man sharing and caring in equality. One people, one planet, one heart with God.
:the second period to come is called the Golden Age, a time when the moral teaching of the Qur'an will dominate producing a deep sense of well-being in every sphere. When the Golden Age comes to an end and the world quickly enters a social decline, the coming of the last day is at hand."
As we move further into the golden age problems will change, peace is not the major problem for this planet although many are mistaken to perceive it to be so. All renowned prophets have predicted the same there are hard times ahead. I myself was given prophecy in 1996 that 1/3 of the world population will cease to walk this earth. It was pointed out to me recently that this is 2 billion people which is a lot.
Sadly the gap between the materialists, literalists, religionists and spiritualists is widening.
We cannot hide from the truth and the harsh reality that faces us, it is written that in ten year's time the water we take for granted will be so polluted we will not be able to drink it, so big problems ahead unless we take drastic action now. There is a big corporate conference in London being held on the 5th of May to discuss this and other pressing issues.
But does it not also say in the Qu'ran that there will be a second coming of Jesus Christ and that your prophet says when he comes you shall follow him?
Love beyond measure
