Kisah Akhirul Zaman - Satu Perkongsian Umum

Saya pernah kongsi post di bawah di board CG "Religious Talk". Rasanya amat berkait rapat dengan topik thread ini:

Kisah Akhirul Zaman - Satu Perkongsian Umum

- Nukilan dan susunan oleh Protoculture

SEBUAH hadis yang diriwayatkan dari Thauban r.a bahawa Rasullullah SAW telah bersabda dengan mafhumnya: “Setelah aku wafat, setelah lama aku tinggalkan, umat Islam akan lemah. Di atas kelemahan itu, orang kafir akan menindas mereka bagai orang yang menghadapi piring dan mengajak orang lain makan bersama.”

Maka para sahabat r.a. pun bertanya, “Apakah ketika itu umat Islam telah lemah dan musuh sangat kuat?”

Sabda Baginda SAW: “Bahkan masa itu mereka lebih ramai tetapi tidak berguna, tidak bererti dan tidak menakutkan musuh. Mereka adalah ibarat buih di laut.”

Sahabat bertanya lagi, “Mengapa seramai itu tetapi seperti buih di laut?”

Jawab Rasulullah s.a.w.: “Kerana ada dua penyakit, iaitu mereka ditimpa penyakit al-Wahn.”

Sahabat bertanya lagi, “Apakah itu al-Wahn?”

Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda:“Cintakan dunia dan takut akan kematian.”
(HR. Ahmad, Al-Baihaqi, Abu Dawud)

Dari Anas bin Malik r.a. berkata, Rasulullah saw. bersabda, “Tanda-tanda kiamat bagaikan manik-manik yang terangkai dalam satu benang. Jika benang itu putus, manik-manik itu akan saling berkejaran.”
(HR. Al-Hakim)

Di tika orang Islam ibarat "buih di lautan", ramai tapi tak bersatu, mengalami penindasan demi penindasan, selainnya hanyut dalam buaian mainan dunia dari mengabdikan diri dengan ibadah kepada Allah, satu demi satu tanda2 besar kiamat akan muncul. Malah kebanyakan ulamak bersepakat bahawa kesemua tanda2 kecil kiamat sudah dizahirkan dan dunia kini bakal menyaksikan zahirnya tanda2 besar kiamat yang akan muncul ibarat biji tasbih yang jatuh satu persatu bertali arus jika tasbih diputuskan benangnya.

Rasulullah saw. bersabda, “Pada akhirnya umat Islam akan menjadi pasukan perang: satu pasukan di Syam, satu pasukan di Yaman, dan satu pasukan lagi di Iraq. Ibnu Hawalah bertanya: Wahai Rasulullah, pilihkan untukku jika aku mengalaminya.

Nabi saw: Hendaklah kalian memilih Syam, kerana ia adalah negeri pilihan Allah, yang Allah kumpulkan di sana hamba-hamba pilihan-Nya, jika tak bisa hendaklah kalian memilih Yaman dan berilah minum (haiwan kalian) dari kolam-kolam (di lembahnya), kerana Allah menjamin untukku negeri Syam dan penduduknya.”
(HR. Abu Dawud, Imam Ahmad, Al-Hakim, dan Ibnu Hibban)

Di akhir zaman, umat Islam muncul sebagai pasukan perang yang berada di As-Sham (Syria / Lubnan / Jordan / Palestin), Iraq dan Yaman. Terbentuknya pasukan perang / mujahidin di tiga tempat itu akibat konflik setempat dimana umat Islam di sana tertindas.

Ummu Salamah RA melaporkan bahawa Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Manusia akan berbalah setelah kewafatan seorang Khalifah. Seorang lelaki dari Madinah akan melarikan dirinya ke Mekah. Beberapa orang Mekah akan memaksa beliau agar menerima bai’ah (taat setia) mereka kepada beliau di antara Rukn dan al-Maqam. Satu pasukan tentera dari Sham akan dihantar menentang beliau dan mereka akan ditelan bumi di Baida’ (padang pasir di antara Mekah dan Madinah). Apabila diketahui manusia, mereka datang berbondong dari Sham dan Iraq untuk membai’ah beliau. Kemudian muncul pula seorang dari Kaum Quraish yang ibunya dari suku Kalb, menentang beliau dan akan ditewaskan; peperangan tersebut dinamakan Perang Kalb. Mereka yang tidak menyaksikan ghanimah peperangan itu adalah malang. Al-Mahdi akan membahagi-bahagikannya dan memerintah mengikut Sunnah Baginda SAW. Kemudian beliau wafat dan Kaum Muslimin akan menyembahyangkan beliau.”
(HR Abu Daud)

“Akan berperang tiga orang di sisi perbendaharaan kalian. Mereka semua adalah putra khalifah.Tetapi, tak seorang pun di antara mereka yang berhasil menguasainya. Kemudian muncullah bendera-bendera hitam dari arah Timur, lantas mereka memerangi kamu (orang Arab) dengan suatu peperangan yang belum pernah dialami oleh kaum sebelum kalian. Maka jika kamu melihatnya, berbaiatlah walaupun dengan merangkak di atas salji, kerana dia adalah khalifah Allah Al-Mahdi.”
(HR Tsauban)

Dari Abdullah bin Amru RA daripada Nabi SAW bersabda, “Pada bulan Zulkaedah akan mula berlaku huru-hara, kemudian para jemaah haji dirompak (dan dibunuh). Berlaku pertempuran yang dahsyat di Mina sehingga sebahagiannya melarikan diri, dan dia akan dibaiat antara Rukun dengan Maqam sedangkan dia tidak menyukainya. Pembaiatan itu dilakukan oleh sejumlah yang sama dengan tentera Badar, penduduk langit dan bumi meredhai (pemerintahannya).”
(HR Al-Hakim & Nuaim bin Hammad)

Sabda Nabi SAW “Jika kamu semua melihat Panji-panji Hitam datang dari arah Khurasan, maka sambutlah ia walaupun kamu terpaksa merangkak di atas salju. Sesungguhnya di tengah- tengah panji-panji itu ada Khalifah Allah yang mendapat petunjuk”. Maksudnya ialah al-Mahdi.
(HR Ibn Majah, Abu Nuaim & Al- Hakim)

Sabda Nabi SAW, “Apabila keluar Panji-panji Hitam dari arah Khurasan, tidak akan ada sesuatu apa pun yang dapat menolaknya hinggalah dipacakkan di Ilya.”
(HR At- Tarmizi)

Abu Hurairah telah meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi bersabda: "Akan muncul seorang lelaki dari dalam Damsyik. Dia akan dipanggil Sufyani. Kebanyakan orang yang mengikutinya adalah dari suku Kalb. Dia akan membunuh dengan merobek perut wanita dan malah membunuh kanak-kanak. Seorang lelaki dari keluarga ku akan muncul di Masjidil Haram, berita kedatangan beliau akan sampai kepada Sufyani dan dia akan menghantar kepadanya salah satu daripada tenteranya. Dia (merujuk kepada Imam Mahdi) akan mengalahkan mereka. Mereka kemudian akan melakukan perjalanan dengan sesiapa yang masih hidup sehingga mereka sampai ke padang pasir dan mereka adalah ditelan. Tiada akan terselamat kecuali seorang yang telah memberitahu orang lain tentang mereka."
(Mustadrak Al-Hakim)

Kemudian, seorang khalifah di Tanah Arab akan mangkat menyebabkan perebutan kuasa dikalangan warisnya (3 orang putera) bertelingkah melibatkan pertumpahan darah hingga ke tempat simpanan Kaabah. Dalam tahun itu juga, dalam akan berlaku gerhana bulan dan gerhana matahari serentak dalam bulan Ramadhan. Akibat kekacauan, musim haji pada tahun itu akan menyaksikan perompakan dan pembunuhan berdarah jemaah haji hingga darah2 mengalir ke Jamrah.

Tahun berikutnya, seorang lelaki berasal dari Madinah bernama Muhammad ibn Abdullah akan dibaiah di Makkah antara Rukun dan al Maqam di Kaabah. Perisytiharan Imam Mahdi di Makkah akan diikuti pula dengan pencerobohan satu angkatan tentera dari as-Sham yang dihantar pemerintah Sham yang bernama as-Sufyani untuk menghapuskan al Mahdi. Angkatan tentera ini akan tiba di satu daerah bernama al Baida di antara Madinah dan Makkah dan akan ditelan oleh bumi. Sejurus berita kemusnahan angkatan tentera Sham itu di al Baida diketahui umat Islam seluruh dunia maka berbondong2lah umat Islam Sham dan Iraq datang membaiah Imam Mahdi dan kemunculan panji2 hitam dari Timur, iaitu wilayah Khorasan.

Imam Mahdi akan berperang dengan seorang lelaki berketurunan Quraish bersuku Kalb disebelah ibunya dan ianya dikalahkan dalam perang Kalb dan banyaknya harta rampasan ghanimah dibahagikan. Imam Mahdi dan pasukan Islam akan memerangi setiap pemimpin Islam yang batil dan membebaskan umat Islam dari kezaliman dan menyatukan kesatuan bagi ummah.

Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda: “Kalian akan mengadakan perdamaian dengan bangsa Rum dalam keadaan aman. Lalu kalian akan berperang bersama mereka melawan suatu musuh dari belakang mereka. Maka kalian akan selamat dan mendapatkan harta rampasan perang. Kemudian kalian akan sampai ke sebuah padang rumput yang luas dan berbukit-bukit. Maka berdirilah seorang laki-laki dari kaum Rum lalu ia mengangkat tanda salib dan berkata, ‘Salib telah menang’.

Maka datanglah kepadanya seorang lelaki dari kaum muslimin, lalu ia membunuh laki-laki Rum tersebut. Lalu kaum Rum berkhianat dan terjadilah peperangan, dimana mereka akan bersatu menghadapi kalian di bawah 80 bendera, dan di bawah tiap-tiap bendera terdapat dua belas ribu tentara.”
(HR. Imam Ahmad, Imam Abu Dawud, dan imam Ibnu Majah)

Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda: “Kiamat takkan terjadi sehingga bangsa Romawi singgah di Al-A’maq atau di Dabiq. Lalu mereka diserbu oleh balatentara dari Madinah, yang merupakan penduduk dunia yang terbaik waktu itu."
(HR. Imam Muslim bin Hajjaj dari Abu Hurairah RA)

Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda: “Kamu sekalian akan menyerbu jazirah Arab, sampai ditaklukkan Allah. Kemudian (kamu menyerbu) Persia sampai negeri itu ditaklukkan Allah. Kemudian (kamu menyerbu pula) Romawi, sampai negeri itu ditaklukkan Allah. Kemudian kamu menyerbu Dajjal, sampai ia ditaklukkan Allah.”
(HR. Muslim)

Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda: “Sesungguhnya khemah besar kaum muslimin di hari pertempuran sengit ada di Ghoutah, disebelah kota bernama Damsyik, salah satu kota terbaik di Syam.”
(HR. Imam Abu Daud dari Abu Darda’

Sampai masanya, umat Islam bersekutu dengan Rum melawan satu musuh yang sama dalam satu siri peperangan yang besar sehinggalah musuh itu dikalahkan oleh pakatan Muslim + Rum di as-Sham. Setelah mencapai kemenangan, tentera Rum menaikkan Salib menyatakan Salib mencapai kemenangan dan terjadi pertumpahan darah apabila tentera Islam mematahkan salib itu.

Diriwayatkan oleh Muslim bin Hajjaj dari Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu Anhu, bahwa Rasulullah bersabda,“Kiamat takkan terjadi sehingga bangsa romawi singgah di Al-A’maq atau di Dabiq (keduanya nama dua tempat di Syria dekat kota Halab (Alepo)). Lalu mereka diserbu oleh bala tentara dari Madinah, yang merupakan penduduk dunia yang terbaik waktu itu. Apabila mereka telah berbaris rapi, maka berkatalah orang-orang Romawi : ‘Biarkan kami berperang melawan orang-orang yang telah menawan orang-orang kami’. (Menurut penafsiran Ibnu KAtsir bahwa salah satu alasan pengkhianatan Bani Ashfar kepada kaum muslimin adalah sebagian Bani Ashfar ada yang masuk Islam di zaman Al-Mahdi, sehingga membuat kawan-kawan yang setanah air dengan mereka menjadi marah dan menginginkan agar kaum muslimin menyerahkan mereka kembali. Namun kaum muslimin tidak menyerahkan sebagian Bani Asfar yang masuk Islam itu kepada bangsa Rum).

Jawab kaum muslimin, “Demi Allah, kami takkan membiarkan kalian memerangi saudara-saudara kami”. Maka kaum muslimin pun menyerbu mereka, lalu diantara mereka ada 1/3nya mundur (kaum muslimin yang surut/lari dari perang). Mereka itu takkan diterima taubatnya oleh Allah selama-lamanya. Dan ada 1/3 lagi yang terbunuh, mereka adalah para syuhada yang terbaik disisi Allah. Sedang 1/3 lainnya mendapat kemenangan. Mereka (yang menang ini) takkan mendapat bencana selama-lamanya. Mereka inilah (kaum muslimin yang selamat dan menang perang) yang dapat menaklukkan Konstantinopel. Namun ketika mereka membagi-bagi harta rampasan perang, sementara pedang-pedang mereka digantungkan di pohon zaitun, tiba-tiba syaitan berteriak kepada mereka, bahwa Dajjal telah membokong dan menyerang keluarga mereka. Oleh kerana itu mereka pun keluar lah, padahal semua itu tidak benar.

Rasul kemudian bertanya kepada kami, “Sudahkan kalian mendengar sebuah kota, yang sebelah daripadanya ada didarat dan sebelah lainnya ada di laut (Konstantinopel)?”. Para Sahabat menjawab, “Sudah, ya Rasul Allah.”

Rasul kemudian bersabda, “Kiamat takkan terjadi sebelum kota itu diserbu oleh 70.000 tentara dari anak keturunan Ishaq . Apabila mereka telah datang ke kota itu, mereka singgah, tetapi tidak berperang dengan satu senjatapun, dan tidak melemparkan satu anak panah pun. Mereka hanya mengucapkan, “Laa Ilaaha Illallaah dan Allaahu Akbar”, maka jatuhlahsalah satu dari kedua belahan kota itu – Tsaur (sang perawi) mengatakan, “saya tidak tahu kecuali Rasul bersabda, ‘Belahan yang ada di laut’ –. Kemudian mereka mengucapkan untuk kedua kalinya, “Laa Ilaaha Illallaah dan Allaahu Akbar”, maka jatuh lah belahan yang lain dari kota itu. Sesudah itu mereka mengucapkan pula untuk yang ketiga kalinya, “Laa Ilaaha Illallaah dan Allaahu Akbar”, maka terbuka lah kota itu bagi mereka, sehingga mereka dapat memasukinya, lalu mendapat harta rampasan perang.

Tatkala mereka tengah membagi-bagikan harta rampasan perang, tiba-tiba terdengarlah teriakan meminta tolong yang mengatakan “Sesungguhnya Dajjal benar-benar telah muncul.” Oleh karena itu mereka pun meninggalkan apa saja, lalu pulang. Lalu tatkala mereka memasuki negeri Syam (menuju kemah besar kaum muslimin yang berada di Ghouthah, disebelah kota bernama Damaskus, salah satu kota terbaik di Syam), ternyata Dajjal telah keluar (telah pergi dari negeri itu).

Syahdan, tatkala mereka bersiap-siap untuk berperang dan merapikan barisan, tiba-tiba dikumandangkan iqamatus-shalat. Maka mereka segera mengerjakan shalat (subuh). Maka saat itu turunlah Nabi ‘Isa bin Maryam dan mengerjakan shalat bersama-sama mereka.

Apabila musuh Allah itu (Dajjal) melihat Nabi ‘Isa, maka dia meleleh seperti lelehnya garam dalam air. Andaikata dia dibiarkan, tentu akan benar-benar meleleh sampai mati. Akan tetapi Allah membunuh dia dengan tangan Nabi ‘Isa. Lalu Nabi Allah itu memperlihatkan kepada kaum muslimin darah Dajjal pada tombak yang dipegangnya.”
– Ibnu Katsir, 70-73.

Tentera Rum akan berundur dan kemudian akan kembali semula dengan pakatan 80 panji-panji bani Al-Asfar (bangsa Eropah) dimana setiap panji terdapat 12,000 tentera ke as-Sham. Ketika itu tentera Islam dibawah Imam Mahdi akan bertempur dgn tentera2 pakatan Rum dalam perang terbesar dan terakhir di dunia, iaitu perang Almalhamah Kubra (aka Armageddon sbgmana kitab samawi Injil / Taurat) di al-A'maq / Dabiq. Perang yang berlanjutan selama 3 hari akan menyaksikan pada hari pertama 1/3 tentera Muslim akan lari dari medan perang dan dosa mereka takkan diampunkan Allah sampai bila2, hari kedua menyaksikan 1/3 tentera Islam syahid dan merupakan sebaik2 syuhada, manakala hari ketiga baki 1/3 tentera Islam akan mencapai kemenangan. Setelah itu Imam Mahdi dan tentera Muslim akan menakluk Constantinople (Istanbul) tanpa menumpahkan darah hanya menggunakan laungan azan sahaja.

Dari Mu’adz bin Jabal, ia berkata : Rasulullah SAW bersabda: Al Malhamah Al Kubra, penaklukan Konstantinopel dan keluarnya Dajjal terjadi selama tujuh bulan.
(HR Abu Dawud)

Abdullah bin Busr berkata Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) bersabda "Jarak antara Al-Malhamah dan penaklukan Konstantinopal adalah enam tahun dan Dajjal akan keluar pada tahun ketujuh".
(Abu Daud dalam Al-Malahim, no 4128).

“Anas Bin Malik mengatakan bahwa Rasulullah saw berkata: ‘Dajjal akan diikuti 70 ribu Yahudi dari Isfahan mengenakan selendang Parsi.”
(HR Muslim)

Nabi bersabda “Dajjal akan diikuti oleh 70.000 yahudi dari kota Isfahan , mereka memakai Al-Tayalisah”.
(HR Muslim)

Kami bertanya: “Wahai Rasulullah SAW! Berapa lamakah ia (dajjal) akan tinggal di muka bumi ini? Nabi SAW menjawab: Ia (dajjal) akan tinggal selama 40 (empat puluh) hari. Hari yang pertama seperti setahun dan hari berikutnya seperti sebulan dan hari ketiga seperti seminggu. Kemudian hari yang masih tinggal lagi (yaitu 37 hari) adalah sama seperti hari kamu yang biasa."
(HR Muslim)

Rasulullah SAW bersabda: "Sesungguhnya tidak ada satu fitnah (ujian) Allah di atas muka bumi ini sejak ia menciptakan zuriat Nabi Adam AS (sampai ke hari kiamat nanti) yang lebih dahsyat daripada fitnah Dajjal. Dan sesungguhnya Allah tidak mengutus seorang nabi jugapun kecuali nabi itu mengingat kaumnya akan ujian Dajjal ini: Aku (Rasulullah SAW) adalah Nabi yang terakhir sekali dan kamu adalah juga umat yang terakhir sekali, maka sudah pasti Dajjal itu akan keluar pada zaman kamu. Seandainya ia keluar dan aku masih berada di kalangan kamu, maka akulah yang akan berhujjah dengannya bagi mewakili setiap orang Islam. Dan jika ia keluar selepas kematianku, maka kamu semua bertanggung jawab untuk melawannya dan Allah SWT sebagai penolong kamu sekalian".
(HR Ibnu Majah)

Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda, ‘Tidak ada satu negeri pun, melainkan semua diinjak oleh Dajjal, kecuali Makkah dan Madinah. Semua jalan yang menuju kesana dijaga dengan malaikat dengan berbaris. Maka berhentilah Dajjal disebuah kebun (di pinggir kota Madinah). Madinah berguncang tiga kali. Lalu - keluarlah semua orang-orang kafir dan munafik – Dari kota Madinah menemui Dajjal.’
(HR. Al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda, “Sesungguhnya Isa Bin Maryam Akan Membunuh Dajjal Di Bab Lud (Gerbang Lud).”
(HR Ahmad, Tirmidzi, dan Nu’Aim Bin Hamad)

Dari Abu Hurairah RA, Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Demi Allah yang menggenggam jiwaku, tidak lama lagi Isa putra Maryam akan turun kepadamu sebagai hakim yang adil. Dia akan mematahkan salib, membunuh **** dan membatalkan ufti. Dan waktu itu harta melimpah ruah, sehingga tidak ada seorangpun yang menerima (zakat)-nya, dan sehingga satu kali sujud (nilainya) lebih baik daripada dunia dan seisinya.”
(HR Al-Bukhari)

Ketika itulah fitnah Dajjal mula menjelma, Iblis Laknatullah akan menyamar sebagai mujahidin menyeru kaum Muslimin pulang ke kampung halaman dgn perkhabaran Dajjal sudah tiba ke pintu rumah mereka. Di saat pejuang Islam berduyun2 pulang ke kampung halaman, maka barulah Dajjal muncul bersama 70,000 pengikutnya berbangsa Yahudi yang bertayalisah dari kota Isfahan. Munculnya Dajjal adalah selama 40 hari, hari pertama tempohnya panjang seperti setahun, hari kedua panjangnya selama sebulan, hari ketiga panjangnya seminggu, hari keempat dan baki 36 hari lainnya sama tempoh dengan hari biasa (24 jam). Dalam tempoh itu Dajjal berjaya menyesatkan umat manusia dari golongan kafir, ahlul kitab dan juga org Islam sendiri. Dajjal menjelajahi seluruh pelusuk bumi tapi gagal memasuki Makkah dan Madinah. Kedua2 kota itu akan dilanda gempa sehingga umat2 Islam yang fasiq / munafiq / kufur keluar lari bertempiaran dari kota2 itu dan merekalah tergolong antara pengikut Dajjal. Di saat itu juga Dajjal bersama bala tenteranya akan memerangi Imam Mahdi dan pengikutnya, Nabi Isa al-Masih AS akan diturunkan di menara putih di timur Damsyik (Damascus). Nabi Isa akan membunuh Dajjal di kota Lod dan pejuang Islam dan Imam Mahdi akan memerangi sakibaki pengikut Dajjal dan semua Yahudi akan dibunuh. Salib akan dipatahkan dan semua ****/khinzir akan dibunuh.

"Hingga apabila dibukakan (dinding) Ya’juj dan Ma’juj, dan mereka turun dengan cepat dari seluruh tempat yang tinggi. Dan telah dekatlah datangnya janji yang benar (hari berbangkit), maka tiba-tiba terbelalaklah mata orang-orang yang kafir. (Mereka berkata): “Aduhai, celakalah kami, sesungguhnya kami dalam kelalaian tentang ini, bahkan kami adalah orang-orang yang dzalim.”
(Al-Qur’an: surah Al-Anbiya’ ayat 96-97)

Rasulullah SAW berkhutbah dalam keadaan jarinya tersengat kalajengking. Baginda bersabda: “Kalian mengatakan tidak ada musuh. Padahal sesungguhnya kalian akan terus memerangi musuh sampai datangnya Ya’juj wa Ma’juj, lebar mukanya, kecil (sepet) matanya, dan ada warna putih di rambut atas. Mereka mengalir dari tempat-tempat yang tinggi, seakan-akan wajah-wajah mereka seperti perisai.”
(HR. Ahmad)

“Kemudian mereka berjalan dan berakhir di gunung Khumar, yaitu salah satu gunung di Baitul Maqdis. Kemudian mereka berkata: “Kita telah membantai penduduk bumi, mari kita membantai penduduk langit.” Maka mereka melemparkan panah-panah dan tombak-tombak mereka ke langit. Maka Allah subhanahuwata’ala kembalikan panah dan tombak-tombak mereka dalam keadaan berlumuran darah.”
(HR. Muslim dalam kitab Al-Fitan wa Asyrathus Sa’ah)

Ketika Allah subhanahuwata’ala mewahyukan kepada Isa ‘alaihissalam: Sesungguhnya aku mengeluarkan hamba-hamba-Ku yang tidak ada kemampuan bagi seorang pun untuk memeranginya. Maka biarkanlah mereka hamba-hamba-Ku menuju Thuur. Lalu Allah subhanahuwata’ala keluarkan Ya’juj wa Ma’juj dan mereka mengalir dari tiap-tiap tempat yang tinggi. Kemudian mereka melewati danau Thabariyah, dan meminum seluruh air yang ada padanya. Hingga ketika barisan paling belakang mereka sampai di danau tersebut mereka berkata: “Sungguh dahulu di sini masih ada airnya.” Ketika itu terkepunglah Nabiyullah Isa ‘alaihissallam dan para sahabatnya.

Hingga kepala sapi ketika itu lebih berharga untuk mereka daripada seratus dinar kalian sekarang ini. Maka Isa dan para sahabatnya berharap kepada Allah subhanahuwata’ala. Maka Allah subhanahuwata’ala pun mengirim sejenis ulat yang muncul di leher mereka. Maka pagi harinya mereka seluruhnya binasa menjadi bangkai-bangkai dalam waktu yang hampir bersamaan. Kemudian turunlah (dari gunung Thuur) Nabiyullah Isa dan para sahabatnya, maka tidak didapati satu jengkal pun tempat kecuali dipenuhi oleh bangkai dan bau busuk mereka. Maka Nabi Isa ‘alaihissallam pun berharap (berdoa) kepada Allah subhanahuwata’ala. Maka Allah subhanahuwata’ala mengirimkan burung-burung yang lehernya seperti unta, membawa bangkai-bangkai mereka dan kemudian dilemparkan di tempat yang Allah subhanahuwata’ala kehendaki2. Kemudian Allah kirimkan hujan yang tidak menyisakan satu pun rumah maupun khemah, lalu membasahi bumi hingga menjadi licin. Kemudian dikatakan kepada bumi itu: ‘Tumbuhkanlah buah-buahanmu dan kembalilah berkahmu.”
(HR. Muslim)

Setelah itu, Ya'juj wal Ma'juj akan muncul melakukan kerosakan di muka bumi sehinggakan orang beriman terpaksa berlindung di gunung2. Ramainya Ya'juj wal Ma'juj hinggakan kering Tasik Tabariyyah (Tasik Galilee) diminum kaum itu. Di tika itu umat Islam yang bersama Nabi Isa terkepung di sebuah bukit hampir kebuluran hinggakan harga satu kepala lembu lebih bernilai dari seratus dinar menunjukkan kesempitan dan penderitaan umat Islam. Ya'juj wal Ma'juj akan dibinasakan menerusi ulat ditengkuk mereka, dan setiap inci mukabumi dipenuhi bangkai mereka hingga Allah mengirimkan burung2 sebesar unta mengangkat bangkai2 itu dan hujan lebat akan diturunkan membersihkan bumi sehingga bersih seperti cermin (kaca).

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri r.a berkata, Nabi s.a.w bersabda: Al-Mahdi adalah keturunanku, dahinya luas dan hidungnya panjang. Beliau akan memenuhi bumi dengan keadilan dan kebaikan sebagaimana (sebelum itu) ia telah dipenuhi kezaliman serta penindasan dan beliau akan memerintah selama 7 tahun."
(Riwayat Abu Daud)

Sabda Nabi Muhammad SAW: “Adalah Kenabian (nubuwwah) itu ada di tengah-tengah kamu sekalian, yang ada atas kehendak Allah. Kemudian Allah mengangkatnya apabila Dia berkehendak mengangkatnya. Kemudian akan ada Khilafah yang menempuh jejak kenabian (Khilafah ‘ala minhajin nubuwwah), yang ada atas kehendak Allah. Kemudian Allah mengangkatnya apabila Dia berkehendak mengangkatnya. Kemudian akan ada kekuasaan yang menggigit (Mulkan ‘Aadhdhon), yang ada atas kehendak Allah. Kemudian Allah mengangkatnya apabila Dia berkehendak mengangkatnya. Kemudian akan ada kekuasaan yang memaksa (diktator) (Mulkan Jabariyah), yang ada atas kehendak Allah. Kemudian Allah mengangkatnya, apabila Dia berkehendak mengangkatnya. Kemudian akan ada Khilafah yang menempuh jejak Kenabian (Khilafah ‘ala minhajin nubuwwah). Kemudian baginda (Nabi) diam.”
[HR. Imam Ahmad]

“Dan apabila perkataan telah jatuh atas mereka, kami akan mengeluarkan seekor binatang melata dari bumi yang akan mengatakan kepada mereka bahwa sesungguhnya manusia sudah tidak yakin kepada ayat-ayat kami.”
(Al-Quran, surah An Naml ayat 82)

Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Binatang bumi itu akan keluar dengan membawa Tongkat Musa dan Cincin Sulaiman, maka ia akan mencap hidung orang kafir dengan tongkat dan akan membuat terang wajah orang Mu’min dengan cincin, sehingga dengan demikian apabila telah berkumpul beberapa orang-orang yang makan di suatu meja hidangan, maka salah seorang dari mereka akan berkata: “Makanlah ini wahai orang Mu’min” dan “makanlah ini wahai orang kafir.”
(HR Abu Dawud, Ahmad dan Ibn Majah)

Bermulalah fasa Khilafah ala Minhajin Nubuwwah (di atas manhaj Kenabian) dengan Imam Mahdi memerintah, setelah wafat diganti pula dengan nabi Isa ibn Maryam. Dalam era itu akan muncul Dabbatul-Ardh (binatang melata) yang akan menandai manusia antara yang beriman (akan ke syurga) dan yang kafir (akan ke neraka). Mereka yang beriman akan cerah wajahnya dan yang kafir akan gelap wajahnya ditandakan Dabbatul Ardh. Pada masa itu orang beriman akan memanggil sang kafir dengan perkataan, "Wahai sang kafir" dan orang kafir pula juga menjawab, "wahai orang beriman". Pemerintahan Imam Mahdi hingga Nabi Isa penuh keberkahan, sehinggakan tiada lagi yang fakir miskin, hatta harta yang ingin diinfakkan / disedekahkan tiada lagi penerima. Haiwan buas dan haiwan ternak hidup damai, hatta haiwan pemangsa boleh duduk sekali dengan haiwan mangsa.

Telah menceritakan kepada kami Ali bin Muhammad telah menceritakan kepada kami Waki' telah menceritakan kepada kami Sufyan dari Abu Hayyan At Taimi dari Abu Zur'ah bin 'Amru bin Jarir dari Abdullah bin 'Amru dia berkata, "Rasulullah SAW bersabda: "Tanda-tanda yang pertama kali keluar adalah terbitnya matahari dari barat, keluarnya binatang melata kepada manusia pada waktu pagi." Abdullah berkata, "Tidaklah salah satu dari keduanya muncul lebih awal kecuali yang lain akan menyusul keluar secepatnya." Berkata Abdullah, "Aku tidak mengira kecuali terbitnya matahari dari barat."
(HR Ibnu Majah)

Maka matahari akan terbit di sebelah Barat, dan pintu taubat telah tertutup.

"Kemudian Allah akan mengutus angin yang dingin dari arah Syam, maka tidak ada seorang pun di Bumi yang di dalam hatinya ada kebaikan atau iman meski sebesar biji sawi, kecuali akan dicabut nyawanya oleh angin tersebut. Sampai seandainya salah seorang dari mereka masuk ke dalam gunung, niscaya angin tersebut akan masuk bersamanya dan mencabut nyawanya. Maka tersisalah sejelek-jeleknya manusia yang ringan berbuat kerusakan, seperti ringannya burung dan mereka ganas dalam berbuat kezaliman satu dengan yang lain, seperti ganasnya haiwan buas. Mereka tidak mengenal kebaikan dan tidak mengingkari kemungkaran. "
(HR. Muslim)

Dari Abdullah ibn Umar bahwa dia mendengar Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Dzussuwaiqatain dari Habasyah akan menghancurkan Ka’bah, pengikutnya akan merampasnya, dan menganggalkan kain kiswahnya. Seakan-akan saya melihatnya botak dan ditinggalkan.”
(HR Ahmad)

Dari Ibn Abbas bahwa Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Seakan-akan saya melihat Ka’bah sedang diturunkan batu demi batu.”
(HR al Bukhari dan Ahmad)

Dari Abu Hurairah bahwa Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Dzussuwaiqatain dari Habasyah akan menghancurkan Ka’bah.”
“Saat ini saya seperti melihatnya sedang menghancurkan Ka`bah sedikit demi sedikit, satu persatu batu ia hancurkan, ia adalah seorang hitam yang salah satu matanya tidak normal.”
(HR. Al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

Setelah kematian Nabi Isa, Allah akan menghantarkan angin sepoi dari As-Sham yang akan mengambil nyawa setiap orang beriman di muka bumi. Setelah matinya semua orang2 yang beriman, Kaabah pula nantinya akan dimusnahkan oleh Zul al-Suwaiqatain (lelaki berkaki kurus) tempang serta hitam dari Habsyah dengan cangkulnya. Dunia akan hanya tinggal orang2 kafir dan semua akan berbuat kerosakan sehinggakan ada yang berzina dikhalayak umum seperti haiwan tak berakal.

Dari Abu Hudzaifah bin Asid ra berkata: Rasulullah saw bersabda: “Dan yang terakhir adalah api yang keluar dari Yaman, yang menggiring manusia ke tempat berkumpul mereka (mahsyar mereka).” Dalam riwayat lain: “Dan api yang keluar dari lembah ‘And yang menggiring manusia.”
(HR Muslim)

Dari Ibnu Umar ra berkata: Rasulullah saw bersabda: “Akan keluar api dari Hadramaut atau dari laut Hadramaaut sebelum datangnya hari kiamat yang mengumpulkan manusia.”
(HR Ahmad dan Tirmidzi)

Akan muncul api besar marak dari Yaman yang menyambar mengumpulkan manusia2 akhir zaman, dan berlakulah kiamat yang menghancurkan segala2nya makhluk dan ciptaan.

Wallahu A'lam.

Pertemuan Tamim ad Dari dengan Dajjal al Masih:

Hadith berkaitan pertemuan Tamim ad Dari yang bertemu Dajjal al Masih:

Telah disampaikan kepada kami lbn Buraidah dan Amir bin Syurahbil asy-Sya’bi, kabilah Hamdan bahawa dia pernah bertanya kepada Fathimah binti Qais, saudara perempuan adh-Dhahhak bin Qais dan termasuk kelompok perempuan pada hijrah pertama.

Amir berkata, ”Sampaikanlah kepadaku suatu hadis yang engkau dengar dari Rasulullah saw yang tidak engkau sandarkan kepada siapapun selain beliau. ”Fathimah berkata, "Jika engkau mahu nescaya aku lakukan. Amir berkata, "Tentu, sampaikanlah kepadaku.” Fathimah berkata, ”Aku menikahi lbn al-Mughirah. Dia termasuk pemuda plihan kaum Quraisy ketika itu. LaIu dia terkena musibah pada permulaan jihad bersama Rasulullah saw. Ketika aku telah menjadi janda, aku dilamar oleh Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf untuk salah seorang sahabat Rasulullah saw. Sementara itu, Rasulullah melamarku untuk maulanya, Usamah bin Zaid. Aku pernah diberitahu bahawa Rasulullah saw bersabda, "Barangsiapa mencintaiku, maka hendaklah dia mencintai Usamah. Maka ketika Rasulullah saw bercakap kepadaku, aku berkata, "Urusanku ada di tangan Anda. Nikahkanlah aku kepada siapa saja yang Anda suka. Lalu Rasulullah saw bersabda. ‘Pindahlah kamu ke Ummu Syarik. ‘Ummu Syarik adalah perempuan kaya dan kalangan Ansar yang telah banyak memberikan sumbangan di jalan Allah dan disinggahi banyak tamu. Aku berkata, Aku akan melakukannya. Maka beliau bersabda. "Jangan engkau lakukan. Sesungguhnya Ummu Syarik adalah seorang wanita yang banyak tamunya. Aku tidak suka kain tudungmu jatuh atau baju tersingkap dan kedua betismu sehingga kaum itu akan melihat auratmu. Tetapi, pindahlah ke putra pamanmu, ‘Abdullah bin Amr bin Ummi Maktum, seorang Ielaki dani Bani Fihr’, Fathimah pun pindah kepadanya.

Ketika masa iddahku berakhir, aku mendengar seruan seorang sahabat Rasulullah saw. "Marilah solah berjamaah” Maka aku pergi ke masjid dan solat bersama Rasulullah saw. pada barisan wanita yang berada tepat di belakang kaum itu. Setelah selesai solat, Rasulullah saw, duduk di mimbar. Sambil tersenyum beliau bersabda. "Hendaklah setiap orang tinggal di tempat salatnya. ’Selanjutnya beliau bersabda,’ Apakah kamu semua mengetahui sebab aku mengumpulkan kamu? Mereka menjawab, "Hanya Allah dan RasulNya yang lebih mengetahui. ’Beliau bersabda, ’Sesungguhnya aku, demi Allah tidak mengumpulkan kamu semua bukan kerana ada pengharapan ataupun ketakutan. Melainkan aku mengumpulkan kamu adalah kerana Tamim ad-Dari, yang dahulunya seorang Nasrani, datang untuk berbai’at masuk Islam. Dia menceritakan kepadaku seperti apa yang telah aku sampaikan kepada kamu tentang Dajjal. Dia menceritakan kepadaku seperti apa yang telah aku sampaikan kepada kamu semua tentang Dajjal.

Dia menceritakan kepadaku bahawa dia mengemudi sebuah perahu bersama 30 orang dari Lakhm dan Judzam. Mereka dipermainkan ombak selama sebulan di laut. Lalu mereka berlabuh menuju suatu pulau di laut itu sampai terbenam matahari. Mereka duduk-duduk di pantai dekat perahu. LaIu mereka naik ke pulau itu. Maka mereka didatangi seekor binatang yang banyak bulunya yang mereka tidak dapat membezakan mana bahagian depan dan mana bahagian belakangnya.

Mereka berkata,

“Celaka kau, apakah kamu ini ?

Binatang itu menjawab.

‘Aku adalah al Jassasah.’

Mereka bertanya,

‘al Jassasah apa?”

Dia menjawab,

‘Wahai kaum, pergilah kepada orang yang berada di dalam gua, kenana dia merindukan berita dan kamu’

Tamim ad-Dari berkata, Ketika binatang itu menyebutkan kepada kami seseorang, kami meninggalkannya kerana mungkin dia adalah syaitan perempuan. Selanjutnya dia berkala, lalu kami berangkat segera hingga memasuki gua. Tiba-tiba di dalamnya ada seorang manusia yang paling besar badannya dan diikat dengan rantai yang kuat. Kedua tangan dan lehernya disatukan dan diikat dengan besi di antara hingga kedua mata kakinya. Kami katakan, "Celaka kamu, makhluk apakah kamu ini? Dia menjawab, ”kamu telah mengetahui perihalku, kini beritahukan kepadaku, siapakah kamu ini ?"

Mereka menjawab,”Kami adalah manusia dari Arab. Kami menaiki perahu lalu dihentam gelombang laut besar dan ombak mempermainkan kami selama sebulan. Kemudian kami berlabuh di pulaumu ini. Kami didatangi seekor binatang yang berbulu lebat sehingga tidak diketahui mana bahagian muka dan mana bahagian belakangnya. Kami bertanya, ”Celaka kamu, binatang apa kamu ini?” ”Saya adalah al Jassasah.”


“al Jassasah apa?”


"Pergilah kepada orang yang berada di gua ini kerana dia sangat merindukan berita dari kamu.”

Maka kami pun segera mendapatkan kamu. Kami takut pada binatang itu dan kami tidak tenang jangan-jangan ia adalah syaitan betina. Orang itu berkata,”Beritahukan kepadaku tentang kurma Baisan!”

(Baisan ialah negeri yang terkenal sejak dahulu kala. Negeri ini berada dekat Syam Lama dan merupakan salah satu kota di Palestin.)

Tentang apanya yang engkau nak tanyakan?”

“Aku bertanya kepada kamu apakah kurma berbuah?”

“Sesungguhnya pohon kurma itu hampir tidak akan berbuah.’

Lalu dia berkata lagi.

“Beritahukan kepadaku tentang Tasik Thabariyyah!”

(Tasik Thabariyyah adalah tasik besar. Panjangnya adalah sepuluh batu dan lebarnya enam batu. Tasik itu dalam dan dapat dilayari kapal. Tetapi airnya semakin berkurangan. lkannya ditangkap daan airnya manis tawar. Jarak antara Tasik Thabariyyah dengan Bait al-Muqaddis lebih kurang 100 batu.)

“Tentang apanya yang engkau nak tanyakan ?

“Apakah tasik itu masih berair ?

‘Ya tasik itu masih banyak airnya.”


”Sesungguhnya air tasik itu hampir habis,”

Dia berkata, “Beritahukan kepadaku tentang mata air Zughar!”

(Mata air Zughar adalah nama seorang perempuan yang dinisbatkan pada mata air ini.)

“Mengenai apanya yang nak engkau tanyakan?” “Apakah mata air itu masih memancarkan air? Dan apakah penduduknya masih bercucuk tanam dan mata air itu?”

“Ya mata air itu masih memancarkan banyak air dan penduduknya bercucuk tanam dari air tersebut.” “Terangkan kepadaku tentang nabi yang diutus kepada orang-orang buta huruf, apa yang dilakukannya?” “Dia telah keluar dari Mekah menuju Yatsrib,”

“Apakah orang-orang Arab memenanginya?”

Ya”

“Bagaimana caranya dia memperlakukan mereka7’ “Dia telah menundukkan orang-orang Arab terdekatnya, sehingga mereka mengikutinya.”

“Apakah demikian?” “Ya”

‘Lebih baik bagi mereka untuk mengikutnya. Aku akan memberitahukan kepada kamu mengenai diriku. Aku ini adalah al-Masih. Aku hampir akan diizinkan keluar, maka aku akan keluar. Lalu aku akan berjalan di muka bumi. Aku tidak melalui sesuatu kampung melainkan aku tinggal selama 40 malam kecuali kota Mekah dan Thaibah (Madinah). Kedua kota itu diharamkan atasku. Setiap aku akan memasuki salah satu kota itu, aku dihadang oleh malaikat yang memegang pedang untuk memenggalku. Di setiap celah kedua kota itu dijaga oleh para malaikat.”

Fathimah berkata, “Sambil memukulkan tongkatnya pada mimbar, Rasulullah saw bersabda.”lni adalah Thaibah, yakni kota Madinah. lngatlah, apakah hal itu telah aku sampaikan kepada kamu?”

Orang ramai menjawab :"Benar.”

Nabi Muhammad saw bersabda,”Sungguh cerita Tamim itu sesuai dengan apa yang telah aku sampaikan kepada kamu, juga mengenai kota Mekah dan Madinah. Ketahuilah sesungguhnya Dajjal itu berada di Laut Syam atau di Laut Yaman, bukan dari arah timur, bukan dari arah timur, bukan dari arah timur.” Baginda mengisyaratkan dengan tangannya ke arah timur.”Selanjutnya Fathimah berkata, ”Maka aku menghafalkan hadis ini dari Rasulullah.”

Banyak jugak info hadis pasal akhir zaman ye. Cuma saya orang awam ni tak dapat nak beza hadis tu sahih ke tidak sahih je. Apapun nampak macam ada kaitan dari kejadian dari satu siri kepada satu siri yang lain.

menghitung hari, satu persatu ditunjukkan kepada kita dan diambil iktibar bagi mereka yang berfikir...

Saya pernah kongsi post di bawah di board CG "Religious Talk". Rasanya amat berkait rapat dengan topik thread ini:

Kisah Akhirul Zaman - Satu Perkongsian Umum

- Nukilan dan susunan oleh Protoculture





Di tika orang Islam ibarat "buih di lautan", ramai tapi tak bersatu, mengalami penindasan demi penindasan, selainnya hanyut dalam buaian mainan dunia dari mengabdikan diri dengan ibadah kepada Allah, satu demi satu tanda2 besar kiamat akan muncul. Malah kebanyakan ulamak bersepakat bahawa kesemua tanda2 kecil kiamat sudah dizahirkan dan dunia kini bakal menyaksikan zahirnya tanda2 besar kiamat yang akan muncul ibarat biji tasbih yang jatuh satu persatu bertali arus jika tasbih diputuskan benangnya.



Di akhir zaman, umat Islam muncul sebagai pasukan perang yang berada di As-Sham (Syria / Lubnan / Jordan / Palestin), Iraq dan Yaman. Terbentuknya pasukan perang / mujahidin di tiga tempat itu akibat konflik setempat dimana umat Islam di sana tertindas.













Kemudian, seorang khalifah di Tanah Arab akan mangkat menyebabkan perebutan kuasa dikalangan warisnya (3 orang putera) bertelingkah melibatkan pertumpahan darah hingga ke tempat simpanan Kaabah. Dalam tahun itu juga, dalam akan berlaku gerhana bulan dan gerhana matahari serentak dalam bulan Ramadhan. Akibat kekacauan, musim haji pada tahun itu akan menyaksikan perompakan dan pembunuhan berdarah jemaah haji hingga darah2 mengalir ke Jamrah.

Tahun berikutnya, seorang lelaki berasal dari Madinah bernama Muhammad ibn Abdullah akan dibaiah di Makkah antara Rukun dan al Maqam di Kaabah. Perisytiharan Imam Mahdi di Makkah akan diikuti pula dengan pencerobohan satu angkatan tentera dari as-Sham yang dihantar pemerintah Sham yang bernama as-Sufyani untuk menghapuskan al Mahdi. Angkatan tentera ini akan tiba di satu daerah bernama al Baida di antara Madinah dan Makkah dan akan ditelan oleh bumi. Sejurus berita kemusnahan angkatan tentera Sham itu di al Baida diketahui umat Islam seluruh dunia maka berbondong2lah umat Islam Sham dan Iraq datang membaiah Imam Mahdi dan kemunculan panji2 hitam dari Timur, iaitu wilayah Khorasan.

Imam Mahdi akan berperang dengan seorang lelaki berketurunan Quraish bersuku Kalb disebelah ibunya dan ianya dikalahkan dalam perang Kalb dan banyaknya harta rampasan ghanimah dibahagikan. Imam Mahdi dan pasukan Islam akan memerangi setiap pemimpin Islam yang batil dan membebaskan umat Islam dari kezaliman dan menyatukan kesatuan bagi ummah.









Sampai masanya, umat Islam bersekutu dengan Rum melawan satu musuh yang sama dalam satu siri peperangan yang besar sehinggalah musuh itu dikalahkan oleh pakatan Muslim + Rum di as-Sham. Setelah mencapai kemenangan, tentera Rum menaikkan Salib menyatakan Salib mencapai kemenangan dan terjadi pertumpahan darah apabila tentera Islam mematahkan salib itu.



Tentera Rum akan berundur dan kemudian akan kembali semula dengan pakatan 80 panji-panji bani Al-Asfar (bangsa Eropah) dimana setiap panji terdapat 12,000 tentera ke as-Sham. Ketika itu tentera Islam dibawah Imam Mahdi akan bertempur dgn tentera2 pakatan Rum dalam perang terbesar dan terakhir di dunia, iaitu perang Almalhamah Kubra (aka Armageddon sbgmana kitab samawi Injil / Taurat) di al-A'maq / Dabiq. Perang yang berlanjutan selama 3 hari akan menyaksikan pada hari pertama 1/3 tentera Muslim akan lari dari medan perang dan dosa mereka takkan diampunkan Allah sampai bila2, hari kedua menyaksikan 1/3 tentera Islam syahid dan merupakan sebaik2 syuhada, manakala hari ketiga baki 1/3 tentera Islam akan mencapai kemenangan. Setelah itu Imam Mahdi dan tentera Muslim akan menakluk Constantinople (Istanbul) tanpa menumpahkan darah hanya menggunakan laungan azan sahaja.



















Ketika itulah fitnah Dajjal mula menjelma, Iblis Laknatullah akan menyamar sebagai mujahidin menyeru kaum Muslimin pulang ke kampung halaman dgn perkhabaran Dajjal sudah tiba ke pintu rumah mereka. Di saat pejuang Islam berduyun2 pulang ke kampung halaman, maka barulah Dajjal muncul bersama 70,000 pengikutnya berbangsa Yahudi yang bertayalisah dari kota Isfahan. Munculnya Dajjal adalah selama 40 hari, hari pertama tempohnya panjang seperti setahun, hari kedua panjangnya selama sebulan, hari ketiga panjangnya seminggu, hari keempat dan baki 36 hari lainnya sama tempoh dengan hari biasa (24 jam). Dalam tempoh itu Dajjal berjaya menyesatkan umat manusia dari golongan kafir, ahlul kitab dan juga org Islam sendiri. Dajjal menjelajahi seluruh pelusuk bumi tapi gagal memasuki Makkah dan Madinah. Kedua2 kota itu akan dilanda gempa sehingga umat2 Islam yang fasiq / munafiq / kufur keluar lari bertempiaran dari kota2 itu dan merekalah tergolong antara pengikut Dajjal. Di saat itu juga Dajjal bersama bala tenteranya akan memerangi Imam Mahdi dan pengikutnya, Nabi Isa al-Masih AS akan diturunkan di menara putih di timur Damsyik (Damascus). Nabi Isa akan membunuh Dajjal di kota Lod dan pejuang Islam dan Imam Mahdi akan memerangi sakibaki pengikut Dajjal dan semua Yahudi akan dibunuh. Salib akan dipatahkan dan semua ****/khinzir akan dibunuh.









Setelah itu, Ya'juj wal Ma'juj akan muncul melakukan kerosakan di muka bumi sehinggakan orang beriman terpaksa berlindung di gunung2. Ramainya Ya'juj wal Ma'juj hinggakan kering Tasik Tabariyyah (Tasik Galilee) diminum kaum itu. Di tika itu umat Islam yang bersama Nabi Isa terkepung di sebuah bukit hampir kebuluran hinggakan harga satu kepala lembu lebih bernilai dari seratus dinar menunjukkan kesempitan dan penderitaan umat Islam. Ya'juj wal Ma'juj akan dibinasakan menerusi ulat ditengkuk mereka, dan setiap inci mukabumi dipenuhi bangkai mereka hingga Allah mengirimkan burung2 sebesar unta mengangkat bangkai2 itu dan hujan lebat akan diturunkan membersihkan bumi sehingga bersih seperti cermin (kaca).









Bermulalah fasa Khilafah ala Minhajin Nubuwwah (di atas manhaj Kenabian) dengan Imam Mahdi memerintah, setelah wafat diganti pula dengan nabi Isa ibn Maryam. Dalam era itu akan muncul Dabbatul-Ardh (binatang melata) yang akan menandai manusia antara yang beriman (akan ke syurga) dan yang kafir (akan ke neraka). Mereka yang beriman akan cerah wajahnya dan yang kafir akan gelap wajahnya ditandakan Dabbatul Ardh. Pada masa itu orang beriman akan memanggil sang kafir dengan perkataan, "Wahai sang kafir" dan orang kafir pula juga menjawab, "wahai orang beriman". Pemerintahan Imam Mahdi hingga Nabi Isa penuh keberkahan, sehinggakan tiada lagi yang fakir miskin, hatta harta yang ingin diinfakkan / disedekahkan tiada lagi penerima. Haiwan buas dan haiwan ternak hidup damai, hatta haiwan pemangsa boleh duduk sekali dengan haiwan mangsa.



Maka matahari akan terbit di sebelah Barat, dan pintu taubat telah tertutup.





Setelah kematian Nabi Isa, Allah akan menghantarkan angin sepoi dari As-Sham yang akan mengambil nyawa setiap orang beriman di muka bumi. Setelah matinya semua orang2 yang beriman, Kaabah pula nantinya akan dimusnahkan oleh Zul al-Suwaiqatain (lelaki berkaki kurus) tempang serta hitam dari Habsyah dengan cangkulnya. Dunia akan hanya tinggal orang2 kafir dan semua akan berbuat kerosakan sehinggakan ada yang berzina dikhalayak umum seperti haiwan tak berakal.




Akan muncul api besar marak dari Yaman yang menyambar mengumpulkan manusia2 akhir zaman, dan berlakulah kiamat yang menghancurkan segala2nya makhluk dan ciptaan.

Wallahu A'lam.

Video boleh tengok di Akaun Twitter dalam pic di bawah. Agaknya diorang kata "Salib telah menang!":

Baju putih tu nampak macam orang awam. Yang pegang handphone tu:

Perasan tak macam ada bendera kat bahu dia, macam coat of arms zaman perang salib.

Yang ni memang lahanat. Memang patut la kalau orang Islam nampak akan marahlah dia dan ...

mcm lebih kurang same je kejadian nih

MELTDOWN by BY JOHN CANTLIE

War is on the increase, oil values on
the decrease, and America is printing
$85 billion dollars a month to stave off
total collapse. Economic meltdown is
approaching fast and the world needs a
stable currency it can rely on. For 5,000
years, that currency has been gold

There’s simply too much “money” in the world
these days and as a consequence things won’t run
quite so smoothly within the next few years. You
can see it in every economy of nearly every country.
The cost of living is going up as currencies become
worth less and central banks try and inflate
the problem away by printing ever more pieces of
paper with numbers on them.

It’s been tried dozens of times through history and
it always fails. The dollar’s going down but this
time it’s taking the world with it.

Since 1971, the world’s financial system has been
based on trust. Currencies are only worth something
in exchange for goods because banks say
they are – $5 bought you a coffee and a sandwich
yesterday so you have faith that it will do so tomorrow.
But as trust in financial matters between the
public and governments drops to a low not seen

since the 1930s, and with none of the world’s currencies
tied to anything of true value, the reality
of global economic meltdown draws ever closer.

As the world’s reserve currency and, until now, the
sole currency of trade for oil, the US dollar forms
around 60% of the value of all the currency on the
planet, and over half those dollars reside outside
the United States. So as the dollar collapses, it creates
a domino effect and the rest come crashing
down with it.

At such times, the world looks to something with a
little more worth than paper to prop up its finances.
That thing has to have intrinsic value, a value
that does not climb or descend wildly at the pressing
of a few buttons in a central bank. It could be
a cow, a sack of grain, or a barrel of oil, but for the
last thousands of years the most popular item of
value has been gold.

There is a finite amount, so it will never lose
its value, banks can’t just print more of it when
they choose, and it is worth what the market
says it is, not what banks dictate. It is durable,
you can exchange it for goods, and it’s worth
as much or more today as it was thousands of
years ago. Now that’s real money.

It’s amazing to think that a lump of gold that
may have been used for trade thousands of
years ago is still in circulation. It may have been
melted down and be part of a bullion bar or it
may be worn around someone’s neck, but it’s
still around. Try that with a piece of paper.

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT MONEY?

Last month the Islamic State announced plans
to mint their own range of gold dinars and silver
dirhams in a move to separate themselves
from dollar-linked fiat currencies and to establish
their own money, a currency that has intrinsic
value.

Any country needs its own currency and a
move by the Islamic State to gold dinars would
be a smart one in today’s turbulent markets.
Financial website Quartz wrote, “The gold dinar
taps into a deep history of Islamic coinage
that stretches back almost to the time of Muhammad
himself. The Islamic dinar appeared
in 696 AD, when the Umayyad empire – based
in Damascus – stretched from the Iberian peninsula
to the Indus River in South Asia.”

And the value of gold is soaring. In 2006, I possessed
a 1 kg bar of gold that was worth, at the
time, around $17,000. Sadly it wasn’t mine; a
bullion dealer loaned it to me for an article.
Staff from all over the building heard about it
and would come to ogle over its beauty. Pure
gold makes people go a bit strange like that.
But if I’d had the money to buy it, that same bar
would be worth over $60,000 today.

As they move to expand the Caliphate, it would
be befitting for the Islamic State to introduce
their own dinars and dirhams. It is a workable,
practical form of currency that puts spending
power into the hands of businesses and
consumers. The gold dinar is one of the most
enduring currencies in the world. Gold makes
sense when there is an economic crisis fast approaching
the likes of which hasn’t been seen in
a very long time.

The stranglehold the US dollar had on the world
since the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944 –
when the world’s currencies were pinned to
the dollar, which in turn was pinned to gold
at $35 per ounce – is long over. The world had
sent America their gold for safekeeping during
World War 2 and they’d amassed some 20,000
tons of the stuff. Over the space of a few wartorn
years, the dollar became the reserve currency
of the globe through an internationally
recognized gold standard.

America was rolling in cash. But over-expenditure,
warfare, and plain greed meant that by the
1960s they were printing far more dollars than
they could redeem in gold. The US is estimated
to have spent $546 billion alone during the Cold
War. They were printing dollars like they were
going out of fashion, so the world got nervous,
started returning dollars, and asking for their
gold back instead.

This created a landslide and the Federal Reserve
was forced to admit they didn’t have enough
gold to hand back in return. By 1971, President
Nixon declared America would no longer redeem
dollars for gold unless it was in the “interests
of the United States.”

It was the biggest default in modern history.
Nixon quickly replaced gold with oil in 1973 by
stating that all international transactions with
the oil-producing countries of OPEC were to be
made in dollars. The infamously corrupt Saudi
royal family agreed. In return for using dollars
only as the trade currency for oil and invest
ing billions in US bonds, America would provide
them military support and protect their oil
fields. At Saudi’s bidding, the other OPEC countries
fell into line, and the petrodollar was born.
The dollar had been pinned to gold, now it was
pinned to oil.“

“No dollars, no access to the world’s most important
commodity,” says Nick Giambruno, a
financial advisor at Casey Research. “If Italy
wanted to buy oil from Kuwait, it had to first
purchase US dollars on the foreign exchange
market to pay for the oil, thus creating an artificial
demand for US dollars that wouldn’t exist if
Italy could pay in euros.”

FOR A WHILE, THINGS WENT TO PLAN.

Saudi made trillions. America made trillions.
But then Saddam annexed Kuwait in 1991 and
the US, holding up their part of the bargain, destroyed
his Baathist army. But they didn’t stop
there. They then imposed crippling sanctions on
the Iraqi people themselves that, through poverty,
resulted in the deaths of over 500,000 children
alone, until in 2000, the former Baathist
regime declared they would sell their oil only in
euros and not to “an enemy state.”

America went back in 2003 under the pretense
of “weapons of mass destruction” and the “war
on terror” and, after ruining the country for its
people, immediately turned the oil sales back
into dollars. America would start wars and kill
hundreds of thousands of people to protect the
value of the dollar amongst other economic interests.
This was made obvious when the US
and its allies sat back and watched while Asad
slaughtered more than 200,000 of the people
of Syria. However, as soon as the Islamic State
moved towards the oil fields of Iraq and Arabia,
America immediately got involved.

And despite the aggression to protect the
worldwide value of the dollar, leading US politicians
and financiers know its days are now
numbered. Congressman Ron Paul says a dollar
collapse is imminent. “We will know that day is
approaching when oil-producing countries demand
gold, or its equivalent, for their oil rather
than dollars or euros,” he says.

And that’s what’s happening right now. Russia
and China trade oil in their own currencies and
are amassing so much gold bullion that they are
ready to kill the dollar and petrodollar as international
tools of trade. China has built a gold

mountain of 6,500 tons of bullion. Other countries
are trading in euros and gold or planning
to do so in the near future.

The largest natural gas producer on the planet,
Russian company Gazprom, has recently signed
agreements to switch payments from dollars to
euros. Gazprom is also a huge producer of oil
and it’s a big move in Russia’s de-dollarization
efforts. China will follow suit.

And the military actions of the Islamic State
have further put the squeeze on the American
oil monopoly by attacking, harassing, and taking
over the oil supply in lands they have expanded
into.

Iraq is the second-largest supplier of oil after
Saudi, but Islamic State gains there have heavily
disrupted oil supply. Libyan supply has been
disrupted by Islamic State attacks while Nigerian
production is being hit by mujāhidīn there.

It’s no coincidence and a smart way of hitting
America where it hurts, so the US has to rely
more on its own supply. In a panic to stop the
situation from getting worse, America has invested
billions into their own oil and gas drilling
programs, making them now the largest oil
producer in the world at 11 million barrels per
day and entering into an oil price war with their
Saudi friends.

So suddenly the market is flooded with cheap oil
that everyone can now buy with their increasingly
worthless US dollars. You don’t have to be
a financial expert to see where it’s all headed.
Wars, economic implosion, chronic deflation
and, eventually, a new global financial system
that will emerge from the ashes.

Turning to gold at such times makes sense. Gold
and silver are still considered the strongest
monies in the world because people demand
them. They know their value and have used
them for millennia. Nobody has invented a better
place for humans to live than in a house.

Nobody has discovered a better way for people
to stay warm than wearing clothes. And
nobody has found a more stable money than
gold. In 1944, the dollar was pinned to gold
at $35 per ounce – today it would need to be
$15,400 per ounce to cover the number of
dollars in circulation!

Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez could see it
coming and started a campaign in 1998 to get
Venezuela’s 211 tons of gold back from the
US. It took a huge amount of wrangling before
their gold came home; countries don’t like
letting go of gold once it’s in their vaults. But
he started the ball rolling and now everyone
wants their bullion. Switzerland, Ecuador, Holland,
and Austria are all shouting for their gold
back. Germany asked the Fed for their gold in
2012 and was simply told it wasn’t there.

Countries are now rapidly distancing themselves
from the dollar before the foreseeable
meltdown occurs. Therefore, it makes enormous
sense for the Islamic State to mint their
own gold dinars. If you’re trading in a money
that has value on the free market when
many other countries are running around
with wheelbarrows of paper money to pay
for a loaf of bread, you’re in a much stronger
position than they. Your economy will flourish
while theirs will collapse.

Gold and warfare have always lived hand
in hand, as financial author David Graeber
writes. “Over the course of the wars of expansion
during the time of the Umayyad Empire,
enormous quantities of gold and silver were
looted from palaces, temples, and monasteries
and stamped into coinage, allowing the
Caliphate to produce gold dinars and silver
dirhams of remarkable purity.”

Of course, many central banks around the
world rubbish the idea of a return to gold or
a gold standard in the 21st Century, citing that
it would be a huge step backwards. But it’s

the job of mega bankers to rubbish gold, because
if the world were to return to a monetary
system based on precious metals, the control
they and governments have over the country
and financial health of the public would cease
to exist. They’d be out of a job. You cannot manipulate
the value of gold. It is what the market
demands it be. But with paper money you can
fiddle around as much as you like. And it’s all
designed to bleed as much money as possible
out of the average consumer’s pocket.

“Our monetary system steals from the middle
class and transfers the wealth to the banks,”
says financial expert Mike Maloney. “We’ve
seen this throughout history and it just repeats
over and over again.”

The world banking system is a scam designed to
feed itself and governments. Nothing tangible
exists, just a huge amount of paper and lots of
numbers on computers. With today’s system,
the governments and banks hold all the gold
while the public have worthless pieces of paper
to play with, and when the economy collapses
guess who’ll still have the gold…

That’s why putting precious metal into circulation
is good for everyone except the banks.
It reverses the process and puts paper money
back into the system while the real wealth, precious
metals, is in the hands of the people.

The US Federal Reserve is now printing over $1
trillion per year in “Quantitative Easing 3” in a
desperate effort to stave off deflation and print
its way out of collapse. They may run out of paper
in their efforts, but it still won’t work. The
dollar’s time is now coming to a close like every
other fiat currency before it, and despite the
deaths of hundreds of thousands of people to
postpone it, history shows it’s inevitable. And
for the first time ever, all the world’s currencies
are also fiat currencies backed by absolutely
nothing. When the collapse comes, it will be
shattering…

War is on the increase, oil values on
the decrease, and America is printing
$85 billion dollars a month to stave off
total collapse. Economic meltdown is
approaching fast and the world needs a
stable currency it can rely on. For 5,000

wanted to buy oil from Kuwait, it had to first
purchase US dollars on the foreign exchange
market to pay for the oil, thus creating an artificial
demand for US dollars that wouldn’t exist if
Italy could pay in euros.”

FOR A WHILE, THINGS WENT TO PLAN.

Saudi made trillions. America made trillions.
But then Saddam annexed Kuwait in 1991 and
the US, holding up their part of the bargain, destroyed
his Baathist army. But they didn’t stop
there. They then imposed crippling sanctions on
the Iraqi people themselves that, through poverty,
resulted in the deaths of over 500,000 children
alone, until in 2000, the former Baathist
regime declared they would sell their oil only in
euros and not to “an enemy state.”

America went back in 2003 under the pretense
of “weapons of mass destruction” and the “war
on terror” and, after ruining the country for its
people, immediately turned the oil sales back
into dollars. America would start wars and kill
hundreds of thousands of people to protect the
value of the dollar amongst other economic interests.
This was made obvious when the US
and its allies sat back and watched while Asad
slaughtered more than 200,000 of the people
of Syria. However, as soon as the Islamic State
moved towards the oil fields of Iraq and Arabia,
America immediately got involved.

And despite the aggression to protect the
worldwide value of the dollar, leading US politicians
and financiers know its days are now
numbered. Congressman Ron Paul says a dollar
collapse is imminent. “We will know that day is
approaching when oil-producing countries demand
gold, or its equivalent, for their oil rather
than dollars or euros,” he says.

And that’s what’s happening right now. Russia
and China trade oil in their own currencies and
are amassing so much gold bullion that they are
ready to kill the dollar and petrodollar as international
tools of trade. China has built a gold

mountain of 6,500 tons of bullion. Other countries
are trading in euros and gold or planning
to do so in the near future.

The largest natural gas producer on the planet,
Russian company Gazprom, has recently signed
agreements to switch payments from dollars to
euros. Gazprom is also a huge producer of oil
and it’s a big move in Russia’s de-dollarization
efforts. China will follow suit.

And the military actions of the Islamic State
have further put the squeeze on the American
oil monopoly by attacking, harassing, and taking
over the oil supply in lands they have expanded
into.

Iraq is the second-largest supplier of oil after
Saudi, but Islamic State gains there have heavily
disrupted oil supply. Libyan supply has been
disrupted by Islamic State attacks while Nigerian
production is being hit by mujāhidīn there.

It’s no coincidence and a smart way of hitting
America where it hurts, so the US has to rely
more on its own supply. In a panic to stop the
situation from getting worse, America has invested
billions into their own oil and gas drilling
programs, making them now the largest oil
producer in the world at 11 million barrels per
day and entering into an oil price war with their
Saudi friends.

So suddenly the market is flooded with cheap oil
that everyone can now buy with their increasingly
worthless US dollars. You don’t have to be
a financial expert to see where it’s all headed.
Wars, economic implosion, chronic deflation
and, eventually, a new global financial system
that will emerge from the ashes.

Turning to gold at such times makes sense. Gold
and silver are still considered the strongest
monies in the world because people demand
them. They know their value and have used
them for millennia. Nobody has invented a better
place for humans to live than in a house.

Nobody has discovered a better way for people
to stay warm than wearing clothes. And
nobody has found a more stable money than
gold. In 1944, the dollar was pinned to gold
at $35 per ounce – today it would need to be
$15,400 per ounce to cover the number of
dollars in circulation!

Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez could see it
coming and started a campaign in 1998 to get
Venezuela’s 211 tons of gold back from the
US. It took a huge amount of wrangling before
their gold came home; countries don’t like
letting go of gold once it’s in their vaults. But
he started the ball rolling and now everyone
wants their bullion. Switzerland, Ecuador, Holland,
and Austria are all shouting for their gold
back. Germany asked the Fed for their gold in
2012 and was simply told it wasn’t there.

Countries are now rapidly distancing themselves
from the dollar before the foreseeable
meltdown occurs. Therefore, it makes enormous
sense for the Islamic State to mint their
own gold dinars. If you’re trading in a money
that has value on the free market when
many other countries are running around
with wheelbarrows of paper money to pay
for a loaf of bread, you’re in a much stronger
position than they. Your economy will flourish
while theirs will collapse.

Gold and warfare have always lived hand
in hand, as financial author David Graeber
writes. “Over the course of the wars of expansion
during the time of the Umayyad Empire,
enormous quantities of gold and silver were
looted from palaces, temples, and monasteries
and stamped into coinage, allowing the
Caliphate to produce gold dinars and silver
dirhams of remarkable purity.”

Of course, many central banks around the
world rubbish the idea of a return to gold or
a gold standard in the 21st Century, citing that
it would be a huge step backwards. But it’s

the job of mega bankers to rubbish gold, because
if the world were to return to a monetary
system based on precious metals, the control
they and governments have over the country
and financial health of the public would cease
to exist. They’d be out of a job. You cannot manipulate
the value of gold. It is what the market
demands it be. But with paper money you can
fiddle around as much as you like. And it’s all
designed to bleed as much money as possible
out of the average consumer’s pocket.

“Our monetary system steals from the middle
class and transfers the wealth to the banks,”
says financial expert Mike Maloney. “We’ve
seen this throughout history and it just repeats
over and over again.”

The world banking system is a scam designed to
feed itself and governments. Nothing tangible
exists, just a huge amount of paper and lots of
numbers on computers. With today’s system,
the governments and banks hold all the gold
while the public have worthless pieces of paper
to play with, and when the economy collapses
guess who’ll still have the gold…

That’s why putting precious metal into circulation
is good for everyone except the banks.
It reverses the process and puts paper money
back into the system while the real wealth, precious
metals, is in the hands of the people.

The US Federal Reserve is now printing over $1
trillion per year in “Quantitative Easing 3” in a
desperate effort to stave off deflation and print
its way out of collapse. They may run out of paper
in their efforts, but it still won’t work. The
dollar’s time is now coming to a close like every
other fiat currency before it, and despite the
deaths of hundreds of thousands of people to
postpone it, history shows it’s inevitable. And
for the first time ever, all the world’s currencies
are also fiat currencies backed by absolutely
nothing. When the collapse comes, it will be
shattering…

War is on the increase, oil values on
the decrease, and America is printing
$85 billion dollars a month to stave off
total collapse. Economic meltdown is
approaching fast and the world needs a
stable currency it can rely on. For 5,000
years, that currency has been gold

There’s simply too much “money” in the world
these days and as a consequence things won’t run
quite so smoothly within the next few years. You
can see it in every economy of nearly every country.
The cost of living is going up as currencies become
worth less and central banks try and inflate
the problem away by printing ever more pieces of
paper with numbers on them.

It’s been tried dozens of times through history and
it always fails. The dollar’s going down but this
time it’s taking the world with it.

Since 1971, the world’s financial system has been
based on trust. Currencies are only worth something
in exchange for goods because banks say
they are – $5 bought you a coffee and a sandwich
yesterday so you have faith that it will do so tomorrow.
But as trust in financial matters between the
public and governments drops to a low not seen

since the 1930s, and with none of the world’s currencies
tied to anything of true value, the reality
of global economic meltdown draws ever closer.

As the world’s reserve currency and, until now, the
sole currency of trade for oil, the US dollar forms
around 60% of the value of all the currency on the
planet, and over half those dollars reside outside
the United States. So as the dollar collapses, it creates
a domino effect and the rest come crashing
down with it.

At such times, the world looks to something with a
little more worth than paper to prop up its finances.
That thing has to have intrinsic value, a value
that does not climb or descend wildly at the pressing
of a few buttons in a central bank. It could be
a cow, a sack of grain, or a barrel of oil, but for the
last thousands of years the most popular item of
value has been gold.

There is a finite amount, so it will never lose
its value, banks can’t just print more of it when
they choose, and it is worth what the market
says it is, not what banks dictate. It is durable,
you can exchange it for goods, and it’s worth
as much or more today as it was thousands of
years ago. Now that’s real money.

It’s amazing to think that a lump of gold that
may have been used for trade thousands of
years ago is still in circulation. It may have been
melted down and be part of a bullion bar or it
may be worn around someone’s neck, but it’s
still around. Try that with a piece of paper.

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT MONEY?

Last month the Islamic State announced plans
to mint their own range of gold dinars and silver
dirhams in a move to separate themselves
from dollar-linked fiat currencies and to establish
their own money, a currency that has intrinsic
value.

Any country needs its own currency and a
move by the Islamic State to gold dinars would
be a smart one in today’s turbulent markets.
Financial website Quartz wrote, “The gold dinar
taps into a deep history of Islamic coinage
that stretches back almost to the time of Muhammad
himself. The Islamic dinar appeared
in 696 AD, when the Umayyad empire – based
in Damascus – stretched from the Iberian peninsula
to the Indus River in South Asia.”

And the value of gold is soaring. In 2006, I possessed
a 1 kg bar of gold that was worth, at the
time, around $17,000. Sadly it wasn’t mine; a
bullion dealer loaned it to me for an article.
Staff from all over the building heard about it
and would come to ogle over its beauty. Pure
gold makes people go a bit strange like that.
But if I’d had the money to buy it, that same bar
would be worth over $60,000 today.

As they move to expand the Caliphate, it would
be befitting for the Islamic State to introduce
their own dinars and dirhams. It is a workable,
practical form of currency that puts spending
power into the hands of businesses and
consumers. The gold dinar is one of the most
enduring currencies in the world. Gold makes
sense when there is an economic crisis fast approaching
the likes of which hasn’t been seen in
a very long time.

The stranglehold the US dollar had on the world
since the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944 –
when the world’s currencies were pinned to
the dollar, which in turn was pinned to gold
at $35 per ounce – is long over. The world had
sent America their gold for safekeeping during
World War 2 and they’d amassed some 20,000
tons of the stuff. Over the space of a few wartorn
years, the dollar became the reserve currency
of the globe through an internationally
recognized gold standard.

America was rolling in cash. But over-expenditure,
warfare, and plain greed meant that by the
1960s they were printing far more dollars than
they could redeem in gold. The US is estimated
to have spent $546 billion alone during the Cold
War. They were printing dollars like they were
going out of fashion, so the world got nervous,
started returning dollars, and asking for their
gold back instead.

This created a landslide and the Federal Reserve
was forced to admit they didn’t have enough
gold to hand back in return. By 1971, President
Nixon declared America would no longer redeem
dollars for gold unless it was in the “interests
of the United States.”

It was the biggest default in modern history.
Nixon quickly replaced gold with oil in 1973 by
stating that all international transactions with
the oil-producing countries of OPEC were to be
made in dollars. The infamously corrupt Saudi
royal family agreed. In return for using dollars
only as the trade currency for oil and invest
ing billions in US bonds, America would provide
them military support and protect their oil
fields. At Saudi’s bidding, the other OPEC countries
fell into line, and the petrodollar was born.
The dollar had been pinned to gold, now it was
pinned to oil.“

“No dollars, no access to the world’s most important
commodity,” says Nick Giambruno, a
financial advisor at Casey Research. “If Italy
wanted to buy oil from Kuwait, it had to first
purchase US dollars on the foreign exchange
market to pay for the oil, thus creating an artificial

2012 and was simply told it wasn’t there.

Countries are now rapidly distancing themselves
from the dollar before the foreseeable
meltdown occurs. Therefore, it makes enormous
sense for the Islamic State to mint their
own gold dinars. If you’re trading in a money
that has value on the free market when
many other countries are running around
with wheelbarrows of paper money to pay
for a loaf of bread, you’re in a much stronger
position than they. Your economy will flourish
while theirs will collapse.

Gold and warfare have always lived hand
in hand, as financial author David Graeber
writes. “Over the course of the wars of expansion
during the time of the Umayyad Empire,
enormous quantities of gold and silver were
looted from palaces, temples, and monasteries
and stamped into coinage, allowing the
Caliphate to produce gold dinars and silver
dirhams of remarkable purity.”

Of course, many central banks around the
world rubbish the idea of a return to gold or
a gold standard in the 21st Century, citing that
it would be a huge step backwards. But it’s

the job of mega bankers to rubbish gold, because
if the world were to return to a monetary
system based on precious metals, the control
they and governments have over the country
and financial health of the public would cease
to exist. They’d be out of a job. You cannot manipulate
the value of gold. It is what the market
demands it be. But with paper money you can
fiddle around as much as you like. And it’s all
designed to bleed as much money as possible
out of the average consumer’s pocket.

“Our monetary system steals from the middle
class and transfers the wealth to the banks,”
says financial expert Mike Maloney. “We’ve
seen this throughout history and it just repeats
over and over again.”

The world banking system is a scam designed to
feed itself and governments. Nothing tangible
exists, just a huge amount of paper and lots of
numbers on computers. With today’s system,
the governments and banks hold all the gold
while the public have worthless pieces of paper
to play with, and when the economy collapses
guess who’ll still have the gold…

That’s why putting precious metal into circulation
is good for everyone except the banks.
It reverses the process and puts paper money
back into the system while the real wealth, precious
metals, is in the hands of the people.

The US Federal Reserve is now printing over $1
trillion per year in “Quantitative Easing 3” in a
desperate effort to stave off deflation and print
its way out of collapse. They may run out of paper
in their efforts, but it still won’t work. The
dollar’s time is now coming to a close like every
other fiat currency before it, and despite the
deaths of hundreds of thousands of people to
postpone it, history shows it’s inevitable. And
for the first time ever, all the world’s currencies
are also fiat currencies backed by absolutely
nothing. When the collapse comes, it will be
shattering…

War is on the increase, oil values on
the decrease, and America is printing
$85 billion dollars a month to stave off
total collapse. Economic meltdown is
approaching fast and the world needs a
stable currency it can rely on. For 5,000
years, that currency has been gold

There’s simply too much “money” in the world
these days and as a consequence things won’t run
quite so smoothly within the next few years. You
can see it in every economy of nearly every country.
The cost of living is going up as currencies become
worth less and central banks try and inflate
the problem away by printing ever more pieces of
paper with numbers on them.

It’s been tried dozens of times through history and
it always fails. The dollar’s going down but this
time it’s taking the world with it.

Since 1971, the world’s financial system has been
based on trust. Currencies are only worth something
in exchange for goods because banks say
they are – $5 bought you a coffee and a sandwich
yesterday so you have faith that it will do so tomorrow.
But as trust in financial matters between the
public and governments drops to a low not seen

since the 1930s, and with none of the world’s currencies
tied to anything of true value, the reality
of global economic meltdown draws ever closer.

As the world’s reserve currency and, until now, the
sole currency of trade for oil, the US dollar forms
around 60% of the value of all the currency on the
planet, and over half those dollars reside outside
the United States. So as the dollar collapses, it creates
a domino effect and the rest come crashing
down with it.

At such times, the world looks to something with a
little more worth than paper to prop up its finances.
That thing has to have intrinsic value, a value
that does not climb or descend wildly at the pressing
of a few buttons in a central bank. It could be
a cow, a sack of grain, or a barrel of oil, but for the
last thousands of years the most popular item of
value has been gold.

There is a finite amount, so it will never lose
its value, banks can’t just print more of it when
they choose, and it is worth what the market
says it is, not what banks dictate. It is durable,
you can exchange it for goods, and it’s worth
as much or more today as it was thousands of
years ago. Now that’s real money.

It’s amazing to think that a lump of gold that
may have been used for trade thousands of
years ago is still in circulation. It may have been
melted down and be part of a bullion bar or it
may be worn around someone’s neck, but it’s
still around. Try that with a piece of paper.

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT MONEY?

Last month the Islamic State announced plans
to mint their own range of gold dinars and silver
dirhams in a move to separate themselves
from dollar-linked fiat currencies and to establish
their own money, a currency that has intrinsic
value.

Any country needs its own currency and a
move by the Islamic State to gold dinars would
be a smart one in today’s turbulent markets.
Financial website Quartz wrote, “The gold dinar
taps into a deep history of Islamic coinage
that stretches back almost to the time of Muhammad
himself. The Islamic dinar appeared
in 696 AD, when the Umayyad empire – based
in Damascus – stretched from the Iberian peninsula
to the Indus River in South Asia.”

And the value of gold is soaring. In 2006, I possessed
a 1 kg bar of gold that was worth, at the
time, around $17,000. Sadly it wasn’t mine; a
bullion dealer loaned it to me for an article.
Staff from all over the building heard about it
and would come to ogle over its beauty. Pure
gold makes people go a bit strange like that.
But if I’d had the money to buy it, that same bar
would be worth over $60,000 today.

As they move to expand the Caliphate, it would
be befitting for the Islamic State to introduce
their own dinars and dirhams. It is a workable,
practical form of currency that puts spending
power into the hands of businesses and
consumers. The gold dinar is one of the most
enduring currencies in the world. Gold makes
sense when there is an economic crisis fast approaching
the likes of which hasn’t been seen in
a very long time.

The stranglehold the US dollar had on the world
since the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944 –
when the world’s currencies were pinned to
the dollar, which in turn was pinned to gold
at $35 per ounce – is long over. The world had
sent America their gold for safekeeping during
World War 2 and they’d amassed some 20,000
tons of the stuff. Over the space of a few wartorn
years, the dollar became the reserve currency
of the globe through an internationally
recognized gold standard.

America was rolling in cash. But over-expenditure,
warfare, and plain greed meant that by the
1960s they were printing far more dollars than
they could redeem in gold. The US is estimated
to have spent $546 billion alone during the Cold
War. They were printing dollars like they were
going out of fashion, so the world got nervous,
started returning dollars, and asking for their
gold back instead.

This created a landslide and the Federal Reserve
was forced to admit they didn’t have enough
gold to hand back in return. By 1971, President
Nixon declared America would no longer redeem
dollars for gold unless it was in the “interests
of the United States.”

It was the biggest default in modern history.
Nixon quickly replaced gold with oil in 1973 by
stating that all international transactions with
the oil-producing countries of OPEC were to be
made in dollars. The infamously corrupt Saudi
royal family agreed. In return for using dollars
only as the trade currency for oil and invest
ing billions in US bonds, America would provide
them military support and protect their oil
fields. At Saudi’s bidding, the other OPEC countries
fell into line, and the petrodollar was born.
The dollar had been pinned to gold, now it was
pinned to oil.“

“No dollars, no access to the world’s most important
commodity,” says Nick Giambruno, a
financial advisor at Casey Research. “If Italy
wanted to buy oil from Kuwait, it had to first
purchase US dollars on the foreign exchange
market to pay for the oil, thus creating an artificial
demand for US dollars that wouldn’t exist if
Italy could pay in euros.”

FOR A WHILE, THINGS WENT TO PLAN.

Saudi made trillions. America made trillions.
But then Saddam annexed Kuwait in 1991 and
the US, holding up their part of the bargain, destroyed
his Baathist army. But they didn’t stop
there. They then imposed crippling sanctions on
the Iraqi people themselves that, through poverty,
resulted in the deaths of over 500,000 children
alone, until in 2000, the former Baathist
regime declared they would sell their oil only in
euros and not to “an enemy state.”

America went back in 2003 under the pretense
of “weapons of mass destruction” and the “war
on terror” and, after ruining the country for its
people, immediately turned the oil sales back
into dollars. America would start wars and kill
hundreds of thousands of people to protect the
value of the dollar amongst other economic interests.
This was made obvious when the US
and its allies sat back and watched while Asad
slaughtered more than 200,000 of the people
of Syria. However, as soon as the Islamic State
moved towards the oil fields of Iraq and Arabia,
America immediately got involved.

And despite the aggression to protect the
worldwide value of the dollar, leading US politicians
and financiers know its days are now
numbered. Congressman Ron Paul says a dollar
collapse is imminent. “We will know that day is
approaching when oil-producing countries demand
gold, or its equivalent, for their oil rather
than dollars or euros,” he says.

And that’s what’s happening right now. Russia
and China trade oil in their own currencies and
are amassing so much gold bullion that they are
ready to kill the dollar and petrodollar as international
tools of trade. China has built a gold

mountain of 6,500 tons of bullion. Other countries
are trading in euros and gold or planning
to do so in the near future.

The largest natural gas producer on the planet,
Russian company Gazprom, has recently signed
agreements to switch payments from dollars to
euros. Gazprom is also a huge producer of oil
and it’s a big move in Russia’s de-dollarization
efforts. China will follow suit.

And the military actions of the Islamic State
have further put the squeeze on the American
oil monopoly by attacking, harassing, and taking
over the oil supply in lands they have expanded
into.

Iraq is the second-largest supplier of oil after
Saudi, but Islamic State gains there have heavily
disrupted oil supply. Libyan supply has been
disrupted by Islamic State attacks while Nigerian
production is being hit by mujāhidīn there.

It’s no coincidence and a smart way of hitting
America where it hurts, so the US has to rely
more on its own supply. In a panic to stop the
situation from getting worse, America has invested
billions into their own oil and gas drilling
programs, making them now the largest oil
producer in the world at 11 million barrels per
day and entering into an oil price war with their
Saudi friends.

So suddenly the market is flooded with cheap oil
that everyone can now buy with their increasingly
worthless US dollars. You don’t have to be
a financial expert to see where it’s all headed.
Wars, economic implosion, chronic deflation
and, eventually, a new global financial system
that will emerge from the ashes.

Turning to gold at such times makes sense. Gold
and silver are still considered the strongest
monies in the world because people demand
them. They know their value and have used
them for millennia. Nobody has invented a better
place for humans to live than in a house.

Nobody has discovered a better way for people
to stay warm than wearing clothes. And
nobody has found a more stable money than
gold. In 1944, the dollar was pinned to gold
at $35 per ounce – today it would need to be
$15,400 per ounce to cover the number of
dollars in circulation!

Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez could see it
coming and started a campaign in 1998 to get
Venezuela’s 211 tons of gold back from the
US. It took a huge amount of wrangling before
their gold came home; countries don’t like
letting go of gold once it’s in their vaults. But
he started the ball rolling and now everyone
wants their bullion. Switzerland, Ecuador, Holland,
and Austria are all shouting for their gold
back. Germany asked the Fed for their gold in
2012 and was simply told it wasn’t there.

Countries are now rapidly distancing themselves
from the dollar before the foreseeable
meltdown occurs. Therefore, it makes enormous

down with it.

At such times, the world looks to something with a
little more worth than paper to prop up its finances.
That thing has to have intrinsic value, a value
that does not climb or descend wildly at the pressing
of a few buttons in a central bank. It could be
a cow, a sack of grain, or a barrel of oil, but for the
last thousands of years the most popular item of
value has been gold.

There is a finite amount, so it will never lose
its value, banks can’t just print more of it when
they choose, and it is worth what the market
says it is, not what banks dictate. It is durable,
you can exchange it for goods, and it’s worth
as much or more today as it was thousands of
years ago. Now that’s real money.

It’s amazing to think that a lump of gold that
may have been used for trade thousands of
years ago is still in circulation. It may have been
melted down and be part of a bullion bar or it
may be worn around someone’s neck, but it’s
still around. Try that with a piece of paper.

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT MONEY?

Last month the Islamic State announced plans
to mint their own range of gold dinars and silver
dirhams in a move to separate themselves
from dollar-linked fiat currencies and to establish
their own money, a currency that has intrinsic
value.

Any country needs its own currency and a
move by the Islamic State to gold dinars would
be a smart one in today’s turbulent markets.
Financial website Quartz wrote, “The gold dinar
taps into a deep history of Islamic coinage
that stretches back almost to the time of Muhammad
himself. The Islamic dinar appeared
in 696 AD, when the Umayyad empire – based
in Damascus – stretched from the Iberian peninsula
to the Indus River in South Asia.”

And the value of gold is soaring. In 2006, I possessed
a 1 kg bar of gold that was worth, at the
time, around $17,000. Sadly it wasn’t mine; a
bullion dealer loaned it to me for an article.
Staff from all over the building heard about it
and would come to ogle over its beauty. Pure
gold makes people go a bit strange like that.
But if I’d had the money to buy it, that same bar
would be worth over $60,000 today.

As they move to expand the Caliphate, it would
be befitting for the Islamic State to introduce
their own dinars and dirhams. It is a workable,
practical form of currency that puts spending
power into the hands of businesses and
consumers. The gold dinar is one of the most
enduring currencies in the world. Gold makes
sense when there is an economic crisis fast approaching
the likes of which hasn’t been seen in
a very long time.

The stranglehold the US dollar had on the world
since the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944 –
when the world’s currencies were pinned to
the dollar, which in turn was pinned to gold
at $35 per ounce – is long over. The world had
sent America their gold for safekeeping during
World War 2 and they’d amassed some 20,000
tons of the stuff. Over the space of a few wartorn
years, the dollar became the reserve currency
of the globe through an internationally
recognized gold standard.

America was rolling in cash. But over-expenditure,
warfare, and plain greed meant that by the
1960s they were printing far more dollars than
they could redeem in gold. The US is estimated
to have spent $546 billion alone during the Cold
War. They were printing dollars like they were
going out of fashion, so the world got nervous,
started returning dollars, and asking for their
gold back instead.

This created a landslide and the Federal Reserve
was forced to admit they didn’t have enough
gold to hand back in return. By 1971, President
Nixon declared America would no longer redeem
dollars for gold unless it was in the “interests
of the United States.”

It was the biggest default in modern history.
Nixon quickly replaced gold with oil in 1973 by
stating that all international transactions with
the oil-producing countries of OPEC were to be
made in dollars. The infamously corrupt Saudi
royal family agreed. In return for using dollars
only as the trade currency for oil and invest
ing billions in US bonds, America would provide
them military support and protect their oil
fields. At Saudi’s bidding, the other OPEC countries
fell into line, and the petrodollar was born.
The dollar had been pinned to gold, now it was
pinned to oil.“

“No dollars, no access to the world’s most important
commodity,” says Nick Giambruno, a
financial advisor at Casey Research. “If Italy
wanted to buy oil from Kuwait, it had to first
purchase US dollars on the foreign exchange
market to pay for the oil, thus creating an artificial
demand for US dollars that wouldn’t exist if
Italy could pay in euros.”

FOR A WHILE, THINGS WENT TO PLAN.

Saudi made trillions. America made trillions.
But then Saddam annexed Kuwait in 1991 and
the US, holding up their part of the bargain, destroyed
his Baathist army. But they didn’t stop
there. They then imposed crippling sanctions on
the Iraqi people themselves that, through poverty,
resulted in the deaths of over 500,000 children
alone, until in 2000, the former Baathist
regime declared they would sell their oil only in
euros and not to “an enemy state.”

America went back in 2003 under the pretense
of “weapons of mass destruction” and the “war
on terror” and, after ruining the country for its
people, immediately turned the oil sales back
into dollars. America would start wars and kill
hundreds of thousands of people to protect the
value of the dollar amongst other economic interests.
This was made obvious when the US
and its allies sat back and watched while Asad
slaughtered more than 200,000 of the people
of Syria. However, as soon as the Islamic State
moved towards the oil fields of Iraq and Arabia,
America immediately got involved.

And despite the aggression to protect the
worldwide value of the dollar, leading US politicians
and financiers know its days are now
numbered. Congressman Ron Paul says a dollar
collapse is imminent. “We will know that day is
approaching when oil-producing countries demand
gold, or its equivalent, for their oil rather
than dollars or euros,” he says.

And that’s what’s happening right now. Russia
and China trade oil in their own currencies and
are amassing so much gold bullion that they are
ready to kill the dollar and petrodollar as international
tools of trade. China has built a gold

mountain of 6,500 tons of bullion. Other countries
are trading in euros and gold or planning
to do so in the near future.

The largest natural gas producer on the planet,
Russian company Gazprom, has recently signed
agreements to switch payments from dollars to
euros. Gazprom is also a huge producer of oil
and it’s a big move in Russia’s de-dollarization
efforts. China will follow suit.

And the military actions of the Islamic State
have further put the squeeze on the American
oil monopoly by attacking, harassing, and taking
over the oil supply in lands they have expanded
into.

Iraq is the second-largest supplier of oil after
Saudi, but Islamic State gains there have heavily
disrupted oil supply. Libyan supply has been
disrupted by Islamic State attacks while Nigerian
production is being hit by mujāhidīn there.

It’s no coincidence and a smart way of hitting
America where it hurts, so the US has to rely
more on its own supply. In a panic to stop the
situation from getting worse, America has invested
billions into their own oil and gas drilling
programs, making them now the largest oil
producer in the world at 11 million barrels per
day and entering into an oil price war with their
Saudi friends.

So suddenly the market is flooded with cheap oil
that everyone can now buy with their increasingly
worthless US dollars. You don’t have to be
a financial expert to see where it’s all headed.
Wars, economic implosion, chronic deflation
and, eventually, a new global financial system
that will emerge from the ashes.

Turning to gold at such times makes sense. Gold
and silver are still considered the strongest
monies in the world because people demand
them. They know their value and have used
them for millennia. Nobody has invented a better
place for humans to live than in a house.

Nobody has discovered a better way for people
to stay warm than wearing clothes. And
nobody has found a more stable money than
gold. In 1944, the dollar was pinned to gold
at $35 per ounce – today it would need to be
$15,400 per ounce to cover the number of
dollars in circulation!

Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez could see it
coming and started a campaign in 1998 to get
Venezuela’s 211 tons of gold back from the
US. It took a huge amount of wrangling before
their gold came home; countries don’t like
letting go of gold once it’s in their vaults. But
he started the ball rolling and now everyone
wants their bullion. Switzerland, Ecuador, Holland,
and Austria are all shouting for their gold
back. Germany asked the Fed for their gold in
2012 and was simply told it wasn’t there.

Countries are now rapidly distancing themselves
from the dollar before the foreseeable
meltdown occurs. Therefore, it makes enormous
sense for the Islamic State to mint their
own gold dinars. If you’re trading in a money
that has value on the free market when
many other countries are running around
with wheelbarrows of paper money to pay
for a loaf of bread, you’re in a much stronger
position than they. Your economy will flourish
while theirs will collapse.

Gold and warfare have always lived hand
in hand, as financial author David Graeber
writes. “Over the course of the wars of expansion
during the time of the Umayyad Empire,
enormous quantities of gold and silver were
looted from palaces, temples, and monasteries
and stamped into coinage, allowing the
Caliphate to produce gold dinars and silver
dirhams of remarkable purity.”

Of course, many central banks around the
world rubbish the idea of a return to gold or
a gold standard in the 21st Century, citing that
it would be a huge step backwards. But it’s

the job of mega bankers to rubbish gold, because
if the world were to return to a monetary
system based on precious metals, the control
they and governments have over the country
and financial health of the public would cease
to exist. They’d be out of a job. You cannot manipulate
the value of gold. It is what the market
demands it be. But with paper money you can
fiddle around as much as you like. And it’s all
designed to bleed as much money as possible
out of the average consumer’s pocket.

“Our monetary system steals from the middle
class and transfers the wealth to the banks,”
says financial expert Mike Maloney. “We’ve
seen this throughout history and it just repeats
over and over again.”

The world banking system is a scam designed to
feed itself and governments. Nothing tangible
exists, just a huge amount of paper and lots of
numbers on computers. With today’s system,
the governments and banks hold all the gold
while the public have worthless pieces of paper
to play with, and when the economy collapses
guess who’ll still have the gold…

That’s why putting precious metal into circulation
is good for everyone except the banks.
It reverses the process and puts paper money
back into the system while the real wealth, precious
metals, is in the hands of the people.

The US Federal Reserve is now printing over $1
trillion per year in “Quantitative Easing 3” in a
desperate effort to stave off deflation and print
its way out of collapse. They may run out of paper
in their efforts, but it still won’t work. The
dollar’s time is now coming to a close like every
other fiat currency before it, and despite the
deaths of hundreds of thousands of people to
postpone it, history shows it’s inevitable. And
for the first time ever, all the world’s currencies
are also fiat currencies backed by absolutely
nothing. When the collapse comes, it will be
shattering…

Ini menyebabkan nilai emas sentiasa naik... Jika pencetakan wang US dollar yang tidak terkawal berbandingkan jumlah simpanan emas Federal Reserve Bank akan menyebabkan kenaikan harga emas diluar jangkaan. Kenaikan nilai emas akan menyebabkan US dollar tak ada nilai.

Walaubagaimana kenaikan harga emas banyak bergantung kepada penawaran dan perminataan yang ada pada pasaran dan nilai US dollar juga banyak bergantung kepada permintaan dan penawaran. Lagi banyak negara yang menggunakan mata wang US dollar dalam urusan jual beli, nilai US dollar akan naik... terutamanya dalam urusan jual beli dalam jumlah kuantiti yang besar dan konsistan spt jual beli minyak.


Note: berat emas yang sebenar adalah dikira berdasarkan 1 Troy ounce bersamaan 31.1035 g dan bukannya 1 ounce bersamaan 28.3495 gram.

Dulu (andaikan ketulinan emas adalah 99.99%)


1 Troy ounce = 31.1035 gram = $35
1 gram = $1.125 = RM 4.737 ($1 = RM4.21)

today it would need to be
$15,400 per ounce to cover the number of
dollars in circulation!

Kalau ini betul nilai emas sekarang sepatutnya adalah... jangan panik

1 Troy ounce = 31.1035 gram = $15,400
1 gram = $495.121 = RM 2084.46 ($1 = RM4.21)


Nilai sebenar (untuk hari ini)

1 Troy ounce = 31.1035 gram = $1304 (lebih kurang)
1 gram = $41.92 = RM 176.502 ($1 = RM4.21)


P/S: simpanlah emas banyak banyak.
