Adh-Dhahabi said: “Texts have come to us affirming the annihilation of this abode and its inhabitants and the razing and scattering of the mountains – and these reports are by way of multiple chains of uninterrupted narration which are incontestable; and no one knows when this will happen except Allah, exalted is He, and whoever claims that he knows this by way of calculation or by some manner of estimation or by way of unveiling or the like, then he is astray and liable to lead others astray.”

It should be noted that the last hour and the last age are two different concepts. The end of the world – the last hour is when the mountains will be turned to dust and the trumpet will be blown, this is certain, but the knowlege of it is with Allah alone. The end of history – the last age is however a time period which preceeds this. It is that period of time in which the claim to truth of the major revealed religions or humanist secularism will be proven or disproven. In this matter there are may prophecies which Imran N Hosein has linked to historical record to estimate that we are now located in the last age. But as Usuall Allahu ‘alam!
