A short encounter with Nolan

A devout Catholic man, Nolan, sat with me during my late lunch on Monday. He talks to me about the Signs of Akhir Zaman.

This is what he said:

1. Allah is the God prayed by the Jews, Christians and Muslims.

2. The end of days are coming. Signs are appearing rapidly one after another. He quotes the example of the acceptance and legalization of homosexualism.

3. Jesus Christ is coming as the Judge to determine who are the believers and who are the non-believers.

4. Non-believers will join the Anti-Christ (Dajjal) and believers will be persecuted.

5. Anti-Christ will perish in the hands of Jesus Christ and the non-believers will be sent to hell-fire.

Of course our Tauhid will NEVER accept the Creed of Christians and Jews. We Muslims strongly believe that Allah swt has no son, no father and He does not resemble any of His creations. Those who also don't believe in His Last Messenger, Prophet Muhammad saw will also never be accepted by Allah swt. But what amazes me is that the Signs of Akhir Zaman is so clear and pressing until it deeply affects the Christians. How many of us are willing to talk about the signs of Akhir Zaman to a perfect stranger? May Allah swt give this Nolan Hidayah and Taufik to revert to Islam. Ameen.

What is more saddening is that some Muslims continue to embrace the New Age (of Fitan) and totally forgotten and ignore the signs of the Akhir Zaman. Some of us even become the Signs of Akhir Zaman themselves. I shiver with these thoughts. May Allah swt stregthen our Iman and shield us all from the Fitnahs of Dajjal. Ameen.
