The End Times will most likely start either in 2014 or 2015, in-sha-Allah (if Allah is willing). The probabilities are as follows: - Year 2014 : 55 % - Year 2015 : 40 % - After Year 2015 : 5 % One of the dates we are currently examining as a possible date for the beginning of the End Times is Friday, October 3, 2014, Zu Al-Hijja 9, 1435 Hijri, known as Day of Arafa (or Arafat), the day on which Muslim pilgrims stand on Mount of Arafat, near Mecca. The next day, October 4, is Zu Al-Hijja 10, the 1st day of Eid (Feast) of the Adha (Sacrifice), known as Day of the Nahr (Slaughter), which commemorates Prophet Abrahams willingness to sacrifice his only son at that time, Ismael. This year, Muslims 1st day of Eid of the Adha coincides with the most important Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) which commemorates Gods forgiveness of the Jews for their first sin, worship of the golden calf, after God saved them from Pharaoh. Some of relevant historical events that happened around 3rd day of October include: - Salah Eddin Al-Ayyubi liberated Jerusalem from the Crusaders on Friday, October 2, 1187. - The last Islamic Caliphate which was headed by the Sheriff of Mecca, Al-Hussein son of Ali, as the Caliph, ended on Friday, October 3, 1924. He was the last credible person to claim to be the Caliph of all Muslims. Just like the Mahdi, he was a descendant of Ali and Fatima, daughter of Prophet Mohammad (p). Some of relevant historical events that happened around 9th day of Zu Al-Hijja include: - Al-Hussein son of Ali [Al-Husseins father is Ali, cousin of Prophet Mohammad (p), and his mother is Fatima daughter of Prophet Mohammad (p)] left Mecca heading to Kufa, Iraq, to accept the offers of allegiance for the Caliphate on the 8th day of Zu Al-Hijja, 60 Hijri, thus challenging Yazid son of Muawiya for the Caliphate of all Muslims. Al-Hussein had sent to Kufa his cousin, Muslim son of Aqeel, to check whether these offers were true. Al-Hussein left Mecca after he received a letter from Muslim son of Aqeel confirming that there were thousands of people supporting Al-Hussein, but soon this support vanished after the Governor of Iraq (who was loyal to Yazid son of Muawiya) threatened supporters of Al-Hussein. Muslim son of Aqeel was killed in Kufa on the 9th day of Zu Al-Hijja. The news of the killing of Muslim son of Aqeel did not reach Al-Hussein until much later. About a month after departing Mecca, before reaching Kufa, Al-Hussein was killed in Karbala, Iraq, on 10th day of Muharram, 61 Hijri. - The dark/black-skinned President of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, arrived to Israel for a surprise visit on Saturday, November 19, 1977 (Zu Al-Hijja 9, 1397 Hijri). Similarly, while Barack Obama was still a U.S. Senator, he arrived for a visit to Israel for the first time at night on Monday, January 9, 2006 (Zu Al-Hijja 9, 1426 Hijri). Anwar Sadat and Barack Obama are similar to each other in the sense that the skin color of each of them is much darker than the skin color of the average citizen of his country. In our book, we predict that the End Times is likely to start with a surprise visit of the first Dajjal to Israel. It is worth noting that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was assassinated on October 6, 1981 (Zu Hijja 8, 1401 Hijri).
