Summary of "This Is When Al-Masjid An-Nabawi Will Be Abandoned"
The video discusses prophetic narrations (hadiths) concerning the eventual abandonment and desolation of Al-Masjid An-Nabawi (the Prophet’s Mosque) in Medina as a significant sign preceding the Day of Judgment. Key points include:
- Desolation of Medina: About 40 years before the Day of Judgment, Medina will become desolate, with its inhabitants leaving despite the city being lush, green, and well-provisioned. This abandonment will not be due to scarcity of resources but will be a divine sign.
- Migration to Jerusalem: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) foretold that when Jerusalem becomes inhabited and a center for believers, people will leave Medina and migrate there. This marks a critical turning point in world events.
- Signs of Abandonment: Travelers passing by Medina in the future will see it as a deserted and dilapidated place, with only wild animals—dogs, wolves, foxes, birds, and four-legged creatures—inhabiting the mosque and surroundings. The mosque itself will be overrun by wild animals, making it impossible for people to pray there.
- Multiple Phases of Abandonment: There will be phases where people leave Medina, return, and then leave again permanently. The final abandonment will occur when Medina is at its most prosperous and well-built state.
- Role of the Mahdi: The coming of the Mahdi, a messianic figure, will initially bring the faithful back to Medina, signifying a revival of the religion there. However, after his time, the believers will migrate to Jerusalem due to global trials and conflicts (fitna), leaving Medina deserted.
- The “Soft Wind” and Final Inhabitants: After the majority leave, a few remaining inhabitants will die following the blowing of the “soft wind,” another major sign of the end times, after which no believers will remain.
- Reconciliation of Narrations: Although Medina will be abandoned, other narrations suggest the religion will return to Medina just as it began there, symbolizing a cycle. This can be understood as the initial return during the Mahdi’s time, followed by a later migration to Jerusalem and subsequent desertion of Medina.
- Uncertainties and Interpretations: The exact timeline and details are not absolute, and some narrations appear contradictory, requiring careful interpretation.
The video concludes by encouraging viewers to consider these narrations thoughtfully and acknowledges that the ultimate knowledge rests with Allah.
