Among the signs of the Day of Judgement is the increase of ignorance, and the disappearance of knowledge. The Prophet (saws) said, Before the Day of Judgement, there will be a time (or days) in which Ignorance will be sent down, and Knowledge will be raised up. (Reported by al-Bukhaaree) The raising up of Knowledge has been interpreted by the Prophet (saws) himself to mean the death of scholars. The Prophet (saws) said, Allaah does not snatch away knowledge from the chests of His servants, but He takes away knowledge by the death of scholars, until, when there are no more scholars remaining, the people take ignorant leaders (i.e., as scholars). And these leaders will be asked (by the people), and they will respond without any knowledge, and they will be misguided, and misguide others. ( Reported by al-Bukhaaree) And as the Day of Judgement comes closer, more and more ignorance will appear, and knowledge will lessen, until, in the very last of time, the Quraan itself will be taken away, and raised up from amongst mankind. This will occur after the time of Eesaa, when the only people remaining will be the worst of all of mankind; the generation upon whom the Trumpet of the Day of Judgement will be blown while they are still alive. The Prophet (saws) said, Islaam will disappear just like the colours of a dress fade away, until people will not even know what fasting, prayer, the rites (of Hajj and charity are. And the Book of Allaah will be lifted up one night, so that not even one verse will remain. And a group of old people will remain, who will say, We found our forefathers on this kalimah: Laa ilaaha ila Allaah, so we too say it.
