The document discusses two prophecies from hadiths about signs of the last day: [1] the uncovering of a mountain of gold along the Euphrates River, which some scholars interpret as referring to oil, and [2] a war between Muslims and Jews where Muslims will kill Jews until they hide behind objects that will then reveal their presence. The document provides context about the Euphrates River and explanations of hadiths related to the prophecies.
1. Fulfillment of a Prophecy
Is the current changes in the Middle East a sign on the fulfillment of a Prophecy made by the
Prophet pbuh? Only time will tell. There are various hadith mentioned by the Prophet pbuh on
the Signs of the Last Day and many of them have been fulfilled. These are the minor signs and yet
there are quite a few which have not been fulfilled yet. I would like to mention two in this note.
-
Appearance of a Mountain of Gold
There will be a mountain of gold that will appear along the Euphrates River. There has been much
interpretation as to the meaning of gold. There has been some scholars who had interpreted it as
oil (black gold).
-
It was narrated by Abu Hurairah ra that the Prophet pbuh said: The Last Hour would not happen
until the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, for which people would fight. Ninety-nine out
of every hundred would perish and every person amongst them would say that he would perhaps
be the one to be saved. ( Sahih Muslim )
-
It was narrated by Abu Hurairah ra that the Prophet pbuh said: The Euphrates is close to uncover
a mountain of gold, so for those who witnessed it should not take any portion of it.( Sahih Muslim
)
-
Abdullah Ibn AlHarith Ibn Naufal narrates: I was standing with Ubay Ibn Kaab and he said: The
opinions of the people differ with regards to the achievement of worldly matters. I said:
Yes,surely. Then he said: I heard the Prophet pbuh said: The Euphrates is about to uncover a
mountain of gold and when the people hear of it, they would rush towards it.Then the people
close to it would say: If we allow these people to take any portion of it, soon all of it would be
gone. So they would fight over it and ninety-nine out of one hundred would be killed.( Sahih
Muslim )
-
In conventional warfare there could not be a war like this that The Prophet has stated that ninety-
nine out of hundred will die. It must be a nuclear war that kills that portions of the combatants
and it will stated as Israel attacks Iran(Allah knows best)
2. The Euphrates River is 2700km long.It begins in Turkey and empties into the Persian Gulf.The
Euphrates and Tigris run parallel to each other and the land between the Euphrates and the Tigris
is known as Mesopotamia, which means "between the rivers" in Greek.
War Between Muslims and Jews
It was narrated by Abu Hurairah ra that the Prophet pbuh said: The last hour would not happen
until the Muslims wage war against the Jews. And the Muslims would kill them until the Jews
would hide behind a stone or a tree and the stone or the tree would say: O Muslim, O servant of
Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Except for the tree of gharqad for it is the tree
of the Jews. ( Sahih Muslim )
This is Gharqad. Its scientific name is Nitraria retusa.
And this tree is being planted in a large quantity in Israel.
