A lot of people on hearing the coming of False Messiah AD-DAJJAL or True Messiah HAZRAT ISA (A.S) often say that these things are quite far from them and the world has not spoiled to that extent that DAJJAL or HAZRAT ISA(A.S) or QYAMAT would come. They run away from accepting such things.
However, the view of our beloved Prophet HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (saw) and his SAHABAS were quite different. Our beloved Prophet HAZRAT MUHAMMAD SAW used to consider such things very close to him and he even considered QYAMAT to be very near to him. The SAHABAS also held similar thoughts.
Hadiths regarding Nabi (saw) and his SAHABAS thoughts:- Hazrat Abu Musa(ra) reported that once during the lifetime of Nabi (SAW), solar eclipse occurred. Scared of the coming of QYAMAT Nabi (SAW) stood up fearfully and hurried towards the mosque to offer salat. He prayed for a long time, making long-long prostrations, as never done before. [ Al-Nisai].
Najar bin Abdullah says that once during the lifetime of Anas(R.A) bin Malik, darkness covered the sky in daytime. I went to him and inquired whether such things used to occur in Nabi (saw)'s time or not. He said," I seek refuge to Allah ! At Prophet's (saw) time, even if the air blew strongly, we fearing the advent of QYAMAT, used to run towards mosque. [Abu Dawud]
Nawas bin Samaan said : Once morning Nabi (saw) narrated about Dajjal , we felt that dajjal is in the garden of palm trees. [Muslim]
From these hadiths, we come to know that Nabi (saw) and his SAHABAS feared that QAYAMAT may come in their lifetime or just after Nabi(saw)'s death. But 1400 years have been passed and still the people don't feel that Qayamat will come in the near future. What is the reason behind it ???? .
Its only reason could be that the people don't discuss about QAYAMAT or their greatest enemy AD-DAJJAL( which is one of the major sign of Qayamat). When the discussion about the enemies vanishes, automatically the people fall into the risk and the chance to save themselves from the danger becomes low. Suppose, in a house a cat comes and drinks the milk. If the family members are alarmed of this activity of cat then even a slightest movement wake them up at night and thus the milk is saved from the cat. But if they are careless about it and sleep soundly then even if a bigger danger, say a thief comes, they would not get up and the things of their house would be stolen.
A few years back, there was a rumor spread in DELHI of the terror of KALA BANDAR( BLACK MONKEY). It was said that the KALA BANDAR used to come any time during the day or night and used to hurt the people and then vanishes from there. Whether this was true or not only ALLAH knows best. But this rumor spread like fire in DELHI and the terror of it grew day by day. People used to wake up at night in fear of KALA BANDAR. A friend of mine has told me that once a cat jumped at the roof of someone's house. The people got up in fear of KALA BANDAR. My friend also told me that once an old man in a family got up at night for some purpose and opened the door. On hearing the sound of opening of door, the people of the House got up and shouted in such fear, thinking that KALA BANDAR came. Later it was found that he was one of their family members.
Now my question is why this fear occurred among these people??
KALA BANDAR existence was not confirmed but the people had had its fear because they discussed about it all the time. Now AD-DAJJAL whose advent is inevitable and true because all the Prophets told about it to their nation. So if we start discussing about it, then will we not save ourselves from this greatest fitnah and be alarmed of its danger?? THINK????????
Just, as the people were terrified due to the sound of cat's jump on the roof or opening of door, similarly the SAHABAS used to get frightened if there was a slight wind and used to run towards masjid to offer long prayers fearing QYAMAT. They even used to get scarred on hearing about the descriptions of AD-DAJJAL thinking that it was in front of them.
Today, people generally don't talk anything about AD-DAJJAL or any other big signs of QYAMAT. Few people who do it, but they don't try to understand the hidden meanings of the prophesies and hence are unable to make sense of the prophesies and thus it doesn't have any effect on them.
