A PROFOUND DECLARATION OF AL-QIYAMAH (THE RESURRECTION)
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit.
(Qur'an 75:1-2)
In the Name of Allah (SWT), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, we bear witness to the most momentous declaration that has ever been proclaimed to humanity. The time has come to announce what the scholars have failed to comprehend, what the religious leaders have concealed, and what the Ummah has been warned about for fourteen centuries. The decreed Age of the Resurrection—Al-Qiyamah—has arrived and begun.
This is not a call to speculation or theological debate. This is the fulfillment of Allah's (SWT) promise, the manifestation of His signs, and the commencement of the Great Event that the Holy Qur'an speaks of more than any other topic save monotheism itself. Yet as foretold, the majority of humanity, including the Ummah, remains unaware, divided, and tragically unprepared for this cosmic reality that unfolds before their very eyes.
The Divine Oath and Its Fulfillment
Allah (SWT) has declared to witness the Resurrection Day and the self-reproaching Spirit that dwells within every human soul. This is not merely a future promise—it is a present reality. The Almighty does not swear by that which is distant or uncertain, but by that which is immediate, certain, and already manifesting in the world.
Qur'an 97:1-5: "Indeed, 'it is' We 'Who' sent this 'Quran' down on the Night of Glory. And what will make you realize what the Night of Glory is? The Night of Glory is better than a thousand months. That night the angels and the 'holy' spirit descend, by the permission of their Lord, for every 'decreed' matter. It is all peace until the break of dawn."
The Night of Power and Fate—Laylat al-Qadr—has descended upon humanity. This blessed night, when divine decree flows from the heavens to earth, when angels descend with the Holy Spirit (Ruh), when peace reigns until dawn, marks the beginning of the Resurrection. It is the gentle opening of the cosmic door before the thunderous arrival of Al-Qariah—the Day of Noise and Clamour.
The Tragic Blindness of the Ummah
Yet even as these signs manifest with unprecedented clarity, the Ummah finds itself in the very condition that the Qur'an warned would befall them. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, foretold this tragic state: "There will come a time for my people when there will remain nothing of the Qur'an except its outward form and nothing of Islam except its name and they will call themselves by this name even though they are the people furthest from it. The mosques will be full of people but they will be empty of right guidance. The religious leaders of that day will be the most evil religious leaders under the heavens; sedition and dissension will go out from them and to them will it return." (Mishkat al-Masabih, Hadith 276)
This prophecy has been fulfilled with devastating accuracy. The Ummah today clings to the shell of Islam while remaining ignorant of its essence. They recite the verses of Al-Qiyamah without understanding their meaning. They await a resurrection that has already begun. They look to the sky for signs while the signs manifest within their own souls and in the regions of the earth around them.
Qur'an 41:53: "We will show them Our signs in all the regions of the earth and in their own souls until they clearly see that this is the truth."
The signs are everywhere—in the spiritual awakening of humanity, in the descent of divine knowledge, in the manifestation of the Cool Breeze of the Resurrection that flows from the hands and heads of those who have received their spiritual birth. Yet the religious authorities, bound by their limited interpretations and vested interests, refuse to acknowledge what Allah (SWT) has made manifest.
The Concealment of Divine Revelations
The gravest sin being committed in this age is the concealment and distortion of Allah's (SWT) revelations regarding Al-Qiyamah. For fourteen centuries, scholars have admitted their inability to comprehend the resurrection-related surahs, yet they have not hesitated to impose their limited understanding upon the faithful. The Qur'an warns with absolute clarity about the fate of such people:
Qur'an 2:174-176: "Those who conceal Allah's (SWT) revelations in the Book, and purchase for them a miserable profit—They swallow into themselves naught but Fire: Allah (SWT) will not address them on the Day of Resurrection, nor purify them: Grievous will be their Penalty. They are the ones who buy error in place of Guidance, and torment in place of Forgiveness. Ah! What boldness they show for the Fire!"
This verse is not speaking of some distant future—it describes the present reality. Allah (SWT) will not address those who have veiled His revelations about the Resurrection. They have chosen the fleeting profits of religious authority over the eternal truth of divine guidance. They have sold the birthright of the Ummah for the temporary satisfaction of maintaining their positions of power.
The scattered verses relating to Al-Qiyamah have been "disfigured beyond recognition by mistranslations that reflect the views of the ulema." These religious leaders have imposed their doomsday fantasies upon the sublime reality of spiritual resurrection, leading the Ummah away from the very experience that Allah (SWT) intended for them.
Qur'an 75:16-19: "Move not thy tongue concerning the Revelation of Al-Qiyamah, to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it: But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital: Nay more, it is for Us to explain it."
Allah (SWT) has taken responsibility for collecting, promulgating, and explaining the verses of Al-Qiyamah. This is not the work of human scholars or religious institutions—it is the direct intervention of the Divine. Yet the Ummah continues to rely on the interpretations of those who have already admitted their incomprehension.
The Division Among Believers
As prophesied, the believers are bitterly divided over the Great News of the Resurrection:
Qur'an 78:1-5: "Concerning what are they disputing? Concerning the Great News. About which they cannot agree. Verily, they shall soon come to know! Verily, verily they shall soon come to know!"
This division is not accidental—it is the inevitable result of approaching the Resurrection with the mind rather than the heart, with scholarship rather than surrender, with tradition rather than truth. The Great News cannot be understood through intellectual analysis or theological debate. It can only be experienced through the awakening of the self-reproaching Spirit within.
Those who have received this awakening recognize the signs immediately. Their faces become "nadirah"—shining and radiant—as they look toward their Lord. But those who reject the truth find their faces "basirah"—dark, gloomy, sad and frowning. This is not a metaphor for some future state—it is the visible reality of the present moment.
Qur'an 75:22-24: "Some faces, that Day, will beam in brightness and beauty—Looking towards their Lord; And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal."
The Day is now. The division is manifest. The choice is before every soul.
The Unawareness of the Hour
Perhaps the most tragic aspect of this cosmic moment is the widespread unawareness of what is taking place. The Qur'an repeatedly emphasizes that most humans will not recognize the Resurrection when it occurs:
Qur'an 30:55-56: "And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty will vow that they did tarry, but an hour—Thus were they ever deceived. But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say: 'The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah's (SWT) decree, until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.'"
The phrase "but ye used not to know" appears repeatedly in the Qur'an in connection with the Resurrection. This is not ignorance born of lack of information—it is willful blindness born of attachment to false expectations. The Ummah has been conditioned to expect a physical, external event—graves opening, the dead rising, the earth shaking. They have been taught to look for destruction rather than construction, for ending rather than beginning, for death rather than life.
But the Resurrection is not about graves opening—it is about souls awakening. It is not about the dead rising—it is about the spiritually dead coming to life. It is not about the end of the world—it is about the beginning of a new world of consciousness and divine connection.
Qur'an 19:39: "Warn them of the Day of Pining when all matters have been judged, though they would still be unaware of it, and unbelievers."
The warning has been delivered. The matters have been judged. The Day of Pining—when souls will long for what they have missed—is upon us. Yet the majority remain unaware, lost in their expectations of a different kind of resurrection altogether.
The Manifesting Signs
The signs of Al-Qiyamah are not hidden or mysterious—they are manifest and clear for those who have eyes to see. The Qur'an promised that these signs would appear both in the regions of the earth and within human souls, and this promise has been fulfilled with remarkable precision.
The spiritual awakening of humanity is unprecedented in recorded history. Millions of people across all continents are experiencing the descent of the Cool Breeze—the Nafas al-Rahman, the Breath of the Merciful—flowing from their hands, heads, and other parts of their body. This is not imagination or self-deception—it is the tangible, verifiable sign of spiritual resurrection.
Qur'an 35:9: "It is Allah (SWT) who sends forth the Winds so that they raise up the Clouds, And We drive them to a Land that is dead, And revive the earth therewith after its death: Even so will be the Resurrection!"
The Winds of the Resurrection are blowing. The spiritually dead lands of human consciousness are being revived. The earth of the human heart is being brought back to life through the descent of divine grace. Yet the religious authorities, bound by their literal interpretations, fail to recognize the metaphorical and spiritual reality of these verses.
The return of the Children of Israel to the Holy Land has been accomplished, fulfilling another crucial prophecy:
Qur'an 17:104: "And We said unto the Children of Israel after him: Dwell in the land; but when the promise of the Hereafter cometh to pass We shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations."
This gathering has occurred. The promise of the Hereafter—wa'dul akhirati—has come to pass. The Day of Judgment has commenced. Yet the Ummah continues to wait for signs that have already been fulfilled.
The Caller from Within
One of the most significant prophecies regarding Al-Qiyamah concerns the emergence of a Caller who will declare and commence the Resurrection:
Qur'an 50:37-42: "Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding, or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses the Truth... And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quite near. The Day when they will hear a mighty Blast in Truth: That will be the Day of Resurrection."
The Caller has emerged. The place "quite near" is not a geographical location—it is the place within the human heart where the self-reproaching Spirit resides. The mighty Blast in Truth is not a physical sound—it is the awakening of consciousness that occurs when the Kundalini, the spiritual energy within every human being, rises and connects the individual soul with the Universal Soul.
This Caller does not come with external authority or institutional backing. The Caller comes with the authority of direct divine experience, with the power to awaken the dormant spiritual energy within seekers, with the ability to grant the actual experience of resurrection rather than mere belief in its possibility.
Qur'an 58:21: "Allah (SWT) has decreed: 'It is I and My messengers who must prevail': For Allah (SWT) is One full of strength, able to enforce His Will."
The messengers of Allah (SWT) in this age are not those who hold religious titles or institutional positions. They are those who have received the direct experience of divine connection and who can transmit this experience to others. They are those who can prove the truth of the Resurrection through demonstration rather than argumentation.
Yet the established religious order rejects these messengers, just as previous generations rejected the messengers sent to them. The pattern repeats with tragic consistency: those who claim to represent God reject those whom God actually sends.
The Arrogance of Religious Authority
The greatest obstacle to the recognition of Al-Qiyamah is not ignorance—it is arrogance. The religious establishment has invested so heavily in their interpretations, their institutions, and their authority that they cannot admit the possibility of being wrong about the most fundamental aspect of their faith.
Qur'an 75:31-35: "So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!—But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away! Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit! Woe to thee, O man!, yea, woe! Again, woe to thee, O man!, yea, woe!"
This describes the spiritual condition of those who reject the Truth when it comes to them. They may perform the external rituals of religion—they may pray, fast, and give charity—but when the actual Truth of the Resurrection is presented to them, they reject it and turn away in full conceit.
Their conceit is not personal but institutional. They cannot accept that their seminaries have failed to understand the Qur'an, that their scholars have misinterpreted the most important verses, that their entire approach to religion has been fundamentally flawed. So they reject the Truth to preserve their pride, their positions, and their power.
Qur'an 7:146: "Those who behave arrogantly on earth without justification—I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant on earth without right; even if they see all the signs, they will not believe in them. And if they see the way of righteousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. This is because they have rejected Our signs and were heedless of them."
This verse describes the spiritual blindness that afflicts those who approach religion with arrogance rather than humility. They can see all the signs of the Resurrection—the spiritual awakening of humanity, the descent of divine grace, the fulfillment of prophecies—yet they will not believe because belief would require them to abandon their arrogance and admit their limitations.
The Night of Power Before the Day of Clamour
The divine wisdom in the timing of the Resurrection reveals itself through the sequence of Al-Qadr and Al-Qariah—the Night of Power and Fate followed by the Day of Noise and Clamour. This is not merely chronological but represents the merciful nature of Allah's (SWT) plan for humanity.
Al-Qadr—the Night of Power and Fate—has descended upon the earth. This is the blessed time when:
Qur'an 97:1-5: "Indeed, 'it is' We 'Who' sent this 'Quran' down on the Night of Glory. And what will make you realize what the Night of Glory is? The Night of Glory is better than a thousand months. That night the angels and the 'holy' spirit descend, by the permission of their Lord, for every 'decreed' matter. It is all peace until the break of dawn."
This Night of Glory is not a single night in the month of Ramadan—it is the cosmic period of grace that precedes the final judgment. It is the time when the Holy Spirit descends to awaken human consciousness, when angels bring divine guidance to receptive souls, when peace reigns for those who surrender to the divine will.
During this blessed period, the doors of spiritual awakening are opened wide. The Kundalini energy, which represents the Holy Spirit within every human being, can be awakened through the grace of the Divine Mother. The experience of resurrection—the second birth, the baptism of Allah (SWT)—becomes available to all who seek it with sincere hearts.
But this period of grace will not last forever. It will be followed by Al-Qariah—the Day of Noise and Clamour:
Qur'an 101:1-5: "The Striking Disaster! What is the Striking Disaster? And what will make you realize what the Striking Disaster is? 'It is' the Day people will be like scattered moths, and the mountains will be like carded wool."
Al-Qariah represents the time when the gentle opportunity of Al-Qadr gives way to the inevitable consequences of choice. Those who have used the Night of Power to awaken their spiritual consciousness will find themselves in "a life of bliss." But those who have rejected the opportunity, whose spiritual scale is light, will find that "their home will be the abyss."
Qur'an 101:6-11: "So as for those whose scale is heavy 'with good deeds', they will be in a life of bliss. And as for those whose scale is light, their home will be the abyss. And what will make you realize what that is? 'It is' a scorching Fire."
The scale that is being weighed is not the scale of external religious observance—it is the scale of spiritual awakening. The good deeds that matter are not the rituals performed but the surrender to divine will, the opening of the heart to divine love, the awakening of the self-reproaching Spirit that leads to true self-knowledge and God-realization.
The Urgency of the Present Moment
We are living in the transition between Al-Qadr and Al-Qariah, between the Night of Power and the Day of Clamour. This is the most crucial period in human history—the time when every soul must choose between spiritual awakening and spiritual death, between divine connection and divine separation, between resurrection and destruction.
The signs are clear. The opportunity is present. The grace is available. But the window is not infinite. The Qur'an warns repeatedly about the consequences of missing this cosmic moment:
Qur'an 47:18: "Await they aught save the Hour, that it should come upon them unawares? But some of its portents have already come, and when it actually is on them, how can they benefit then by their reminder?"
The portents have come. The Hour is upon us. The reminder has been delivered. Those who continue to wait for some other kind of resurrection, some other kind of signs, some other kind of divine intervention, will find themselves among those who cry out: "Where is the refuge?"
Qur'an 75:6-10: "He questions: 'When is the Day of Resurrection?' At length, when the sight is dazed and the moon is buried in darkness, and the sun and moon are joined together that Day will Man say; 'Where is the refuge?'"
There is no refuge except in surrender to the divine will. There is no escape except through the door of spiritual awakening. There is no salvation except through the experience of resurrection that is available right now, in this very moment, to every sincere seeker.
The Final Warning
This declaration is not an invitation to debate or discussion. It is not a theological position to be analyzed or critiqued. It is the final warning before the gentle period of Al-Qadr gives way to the terrifying reality of Al-Qariah.
The Ummah stands at the crossroads of destiny. They can continue to follow the religious leaders who have led them astray, who have concealed the truth of the Resurrection, who have sold divine guidance for worldly profit. Or they can humble themselves before Allah (SWT), seek the direct experience of divine connection, and participate in the greatest event in cosmic history.
Qur'an 17:15: "Whoever goes aright, for his own soul does he go aright; and whoever goes astray, to its detriment only does he go astray: nor can the bearer of a burden bear the burden of another, nor do We chastise until We raise an apostle."
The apostle has been raised. The warning has been delivered. The choice is now individual and immediate. No religious authority can make this choice for another. No institutional affiliation can substitute for personal surrender. No amount of external religious observance can replace the inner awakening of the self-reproaching Spirit.
The time for intellectual understanding has passed. The time for theological debate has ended. The time for institutional reform has expired. This is the time for direct experience, for spiritual surrender, for the actual resurrection of consciousness that transforms a human being from a seeker into a knower, from a believer into an experiencer, from a follower into a realized soul.
The Resurrection Has Begun: Be Forewarned
Let there be no doubt, no hesitation, no further delay in recognizing the truth that stands before the entire human race: Al-Qiyamah—the Resurrection—has begun. The Night of Power and Fate has descended. The angels and the Holy Spirit move among humanity, offering the gift of spiritual awakening to all who will receive it.
This is not a future promise—it is a present reality. This is not a metaphorical teaching—it is a literal truth. This is not a religious doctrine—it is a cosmic fact that transcends all religious boundaries and institutional limitations.
The revelations and explanations of the surahs confirm what the awakened consciousness knows with absolute certainty: we are living in the most sacred and dangerous time in human history. Sacred because the opportunity for divine realization has never been more accessible. Dangerous because the consequences of missing this opportunity are eternal.
The Ummah has been warned. The signs have been shown. The messengers have been sent. The Caller has emerged from within. The verses have been collected, promulgated, and explained. The Cool Breeze of the Resurrection flows from the hands of those who have surrendered to the divine will.
Yet the majority remain asleep, dreaming of a different kind of resurrection while the real Resurrection unfolds around them and within them. They wait for external signs while the greatest sign—the awakening of their own consciousness—remains dormant within their hearts.
"Man is his own witness and judge." Each soul will face the consequences of their choices. Each individual will reap what they have sown. Each consciousness will experience the result of their surrender or their resistance to the divine call.
The religious authorities who have concealed these truths, who have distorted the meaning of the Qur'an, who have led the Ummah away from the very experience that Islam was meant to provide, will face the judgment they have brought upon themselves. Allah (SWT) will not address them on the Day of Resurrection. They have chosen their path, and they will walk it to its inevitable conclusion.
But for those who still have ears to hear and hearts to feel, the door remains open. The Night of Power continues. The grace flows. The opportunity exists. The choice is immediate and personal.
Do not wait for permission from religious authorities who have already proven their incomprehension. Do not seek validation from institutions that have failed in their most fundamental responsibility. Do not delay for the sake of social acceptance or family approval.
The Resurrection waits for no one. Al-Qadr will give way to Al-Qariah. The Night of Power and Fate will be followed by the Day of Noise and Clamour. The gentle opportunity will be replaced by the inevitable consequence.
The knowing is not intellectual—it is experiential. It is not theoretical—it is practical. It is not future—it is immediate.
This is the final call. This is the ultimate warning. This is the last opportunity before the cosmic door closes and the age of grace gives way to the age of judgment.
The Resurrection has begun. The Night of Power and Fate illuminates the path for those who will walk it. The Day of Noise and Clamour awaits those who refuse the call.
Be forewarned.

The Great Deception of Qiyamah: Why Centuries of Hadith-Based Indoctrination Prevent Muslims from Recognizing the Quran’s True Signs
Abstract
Before continuing with the interpretation of surahs and the true signs of Al-Qiyamah, one must confront a difficult reality: most Muslims will be shocked, dismissive, or in denial. This is not because the Quran lacks clarity, but because for centuries the Ummah has been conditioned to expect eschatological signs rooted in hadith rather than in the Quran itself. This paper argues that the overwhelming reliance on hadith has obscured and distorted Allah’s (SWT) authentic revelations regarding the Resurrection, potentially fulfilling Iblis’s own pledge to mislead humanity. By critically contrasting hadith-based predictions with the authority of the Quran—drawing upon verses such as Al-A'raf (7:16, 7:146) and Al-Hijr (15:39)—this study exposes how millions have been turned away from the genuine divine signs. Using resources such as al-qiyamah.org, the analysis challenges Muslims to reconsider whether their expectations of Qiyamah arise from Allah’s Word or from human traditions that have veiled it.

1. Introduction: The Theological Debate on Qiyamah Signs
Islamic eschatology, the study of the end times or Day of Judgment (Qiyamah), holds a significant place in the Muslim faith. It serves as a reminder of the transient nature of the world and the ultimate accountability of humanity before Allah (SWT). The signs of Qiyamah, which are believed to precede the final hour, have been a subject of intense study and debate among Islamic scholars for centuries. These signs are broadly categorized into major and minor signs, and they are primarily derived from two sources: the Holy Quran, which is considered the direct word of Allah (SWT), and the Hadith, which are the sayings and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
While the Quran and Hadith are both revered sources of Islamic knowledge, a significant theological controversy has emerged regarding the authenticity and interpretation of the signs of Qiyamah. The traditional understanding, which is widely accepted within the Muslim world, is based on a collection of hadiths that describe a series of dramatic and supernatural events. These include the appearance of the Antichrist (Dajjal), the descent of Jesus (Isa), the emergence of Gog and Magog, and the rising of the sun from the west, among others.
However, a growing number of Muslims are beginning to question the validity of these hadith-based signs, arguing that they are not mentioned in the Quran and, in some cases, even contradict its teachings. This has led to a theological debate that pits the authority of the Hadith against the direct word of the Quran. Proponents of a Quran-centered approach argue that the true signs of Qiyamah are to be found within the verses of the Quran itself, and that the hadith-based signs are a form of deception that has been fabricated by humans and is part of a larger satanic plot to mislead the Ummah.
The eight major signs are a series of extraordinary events that are believed to signal the imminent end of the world. These include:

The hadith-based signs of Qiyamah have played a significant role in shaping the eschatological beliefs of the Muslim world. They have been the subject of countless books, lectures, and sermons, and they have been used to warn Muslims about the dangers of the end times. However, as we will see in the next section, these signs have also been the subject of intense criticism and debate.
3. A Quran-Centered Approach to Eschatology: The Argument for True Signs
In stark contrast to the hadith-based eschatology, a Quran-centered approach argues that the true signs of Qiyamah are to be found exclusively within the verses of the Holy Quran. Proponents of this view, as represented in the document and the website al-qiyamah.org, assert that the Quran is the ultimate and infallible source of divine truth, and that any hadith that contradicts the Quran must be rejected.
The central pillar of this argument is Surah Al-Qiyamah (75), which is dedicated entirely to the theme of the Resurrection. The surah begins with a powerful oath:
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
"I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit." (Quran 75:1-2)
This oath, it is argued, is a direct and undeniable testament to the reality of the Resurrection, and it serves as a divine proclamation that the Day of Judgment is a certainty.
The surah then goes on to describe the events of the Resurrection in vivid detail. It speaks of the reassembling of bones and fingertips, the joining of the sun and moon, and the state of humanity on that day. It also contains a crucial passage that is central to the argument of al-qiyamah.org:
"Move not thy tongue concerning the (Resurrection), to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it. But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital. Nay more, it is for Us to explain it." (Quran 75:16-19)
This passage is interpreted as a divine command to rely solely on the Quran for knowledge of the Resurrection, and as a promise that Allah (SWT) Himself will be responsible for its collection, promulgation, and explanation.
Key Insight: Quranic Signs Within Souls and Earth
The Quran-centered approach emphasizes that the true signs of Allah (SWT) are manifested within human souls and throughout the earth, rather than in dramatic external events.
In addition to Surah Al-Qiyamah, proponents of a Quran-centered approach point to a number of other verses that they believe are the true signs of the end times. These verses speak of the signs of Allah (SWT) within the human soul and on the earth, and they warn against the dangers of heedlessness and disbelief. For example, the verse "We will show them Our signs in all the regions of the earth and in their own souls until they clearly see that this is the truth" (Quran 41:53) is interpreted as a promise that the signs of Allah (SWT) will be made manifest to all of humanity.
The Quran-centered approach to eschatology represents a radical departure from the traditional understanding of the signs of Qiyamah. It challenges the authority of the Hadith and calls for a return to the direct word of the Quran. As we will see in the next section, this approach is closely linked to the belief that the hadith-based signs are a form of satanic deception.
4. Iblis's Deception and Allah's Warning: A Theological Analysis
The theological argument that the hadith-based signs of Qiyamah are a form of satanic deception is rooted in a close reading of several key Quranic verses. These verses, it is argued, reveal a divine warning that Iblis (Satan) would actively seek to mislead the Ummah, and that Allah (SWT) would, in turn, allow many to be turned away from His true signs.
The first set of verses concerns the promise of Iblis to mislead humanity. In Surah Al-A'raf, after being cast out of heaven for refusing to bow down to Adam, Iblis declares:
"Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path." (Quran 7:16)
This is followed by a similar declaration in Surah Al-Hijr:
"My Lord! In the manner You led me to error, I will make things on earth seem attractive to them and lead all of them to error." (Quran 15:39)
These verses are interpreted as a clear and direct statement of Iblis's intention to deceive and mislead the believers.
Key Insight: Allah's Response to Iblis's Promise
The theological argument suggests that Allah's warning in Al-A'raf 7:146 represents a divine response to Iblis's promise, allowing those who are arrogant to be led astray from His true signs.
The second key verse in this theological argument is found in Surah Al-A'raf:
"I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it." (Quran 7:146)
This verse is interpreted as a divine response to Iblis's promise, a warning that Allah (SWT) Himself will allow those who are arrogant and who reject His true signs to be led astray. The argument is that the acceptance of the hadith-based signs, which are not found in the Quran, is a form of arrogance and a rejection of Allah's true signs. As a result, Allah has allowed the Ummah to be deceived by these false signs, just as Iblis promised.
This theological interpretation has profound implications for the understanding of Islamic eschatology. It suggests that the mainstream understanding of the signs of Qiyamah is not only incorrect, but is actually a fulfillment of a satanic plot to mislead the Ummah. It also suggests that the only way to escape this deception is to reject the hadith-based signs and to return to the direct word of the Quran. As we will see in the next section, this is the central message of the website al-qiyamah.org.
5. The Role of al-qiyamah.org: A Modern Interpretation
The website al-qiyamah.org presents itself as a modern-day fulfillment of the divine promise to collect, promulgate, and explain the verses of Al-Qiyamah, as stated in Surah Al-Qiyamah (75:16-19). It positions itself as the sole authoritative source for understanding the true signs of the Resurrection, and it launches a scathing critique of mainstream Islamic scholarship, which it accuses of concealing and distorting the divine revelations.
The website's central argument is that the Ummah has been in a state of "tragic blindness" for centuries, clinging to the "shell of Islam while remaining ignorant of its essence." It claims that the hadith-based signs of Qiyamah are a fabrication, a product of human error and satanic deception, and that the true signs are to be found in the Quran alone. The website's authors believe that the "decreed Age of the Resurrection—Al-Qiyamah—has arrived and begun," and that they have been chosen by Allah (SWT) to deliver this message to the world.
"Allah (SWT) has taken responsibility for collecting, promulgating, and explaining the verses of Al-Qiyamah. This is not the work of human scholars or religious institutions—it is the direct intervention of the Divine. Yet the Ummah continues to rely on the interpretations of those who have already admitted their incomprehension."
The website's theological position is based on a literal and direct interpretation of the Quran. It rejects the authority of the Hadith and the scholarly tradition, and it calls for a return to the pure and unadulterated word of Allah (SWT). The website's authors see themselves as the messengers of Allah (Al-Mujadilah, 58:21 – My Messengers Must Prevail) chosen to deliver a message of warning and guidance to a lost and misguided Ummah. They believe that they are the true inheritors of the prophetic tradition, and that they have been entrusted with the task of restoring the true meaning of Islam.
The website's message is a radical and challenging one, and it is likely to be met with resistance and criticism from the mainstream Islamic community. However, it is also a message that is likely to resonate with a growing number of Muslims who are disillusioned with the traditional interpretations of Islam and who are seeking a more direct and personal relationship with Allah (SWT). The website's call for a return to the Quran is a powerful one, and it is one that is likely to have a significant impact on the future of Islamic thought.
6. Conclusion: A Scholarly Assessment of the Theological Debate
This paper has provided a critical analysis of the theological debate surrounding the signs of Qiyamah in Islamic eschatology. It has examined the arguments and evidence presented by both the traditional hadith-based approach and the Quran-centered approach, as represented by the website al-qiyamah.org. The paper has shown that the two approaches are based on fundamentally different interpretations of the primary sources of Islamic knowledge, and that they have profound implications for the understanding of the end times.
The traditional hadith-based approach, which is widely accepted within the Muslim world, is based on a collection of hadiths that describe a series of dramatic and supernatural events. These signs have played a significant role in shaping the eschatological beliefs of the Muslim world, but they have also been the subject of intense criticism and debate.
The Quran-centered approach, on the other hand, rejects the authority of the Hadith and calls for a return to the direct word of the Quran. Proponents of this view argue that the true signs of Qiyamah are to be found within the verses of the Quran itself, and that the hadith-based signs are a form of satanic deception. This argument is based on a close reading of several key Quranic verses, which are interpreted as a divine warning that Iblis would actively seek to mislead the Ummah, and that Allah (SWT) would, in turn, allow many to be turned away from His true signs.
Key Insight: The Importance of Critical Examination
This theological debate highlights the crucial importance of critical thinking and direct engagement with primary sources in matters of faith, rather than relying solely on traditional interpretations.
As a scholarly assessment, it is not the purpose of this paper to endorse one view over the other. Rather, the goal has been to provide a balanced and objective analysis of the theological debate, and to encourage readers to engage in their own critical examination of the primary sources. The question of which signs are true and which are false is a matter of faith, and it is up to each individual to decide for themselves. However, it is clear that the debate over the signs of Qiyamah is a significant one, and that it is likely to have a profound impact on the future of Islamic thought.
In conclusion, the theological debate surrounding the signs of Qiyamah is a complex and multifaceted one. It is a debate that touches on some of the most fundamental questions of Islamic theology, including the nature of divine revelation, the authority of the Hadith, and the role of reason and critical thinking in matters of faith. It is a debate that is likely to continue for many years to come, and it is one that will undoubtedly shape the future of Islamic eschatology.

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit.(Qur'an 75:1-2)
In the Name of Allah (SWT), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, we bear witness to the most momentous declaration that has ever been proclaimed to humanity. The time has come to announce what the scholars have failed to comprehend, what the religious leaders have concealed, and what the Ummah has been warned about for fourteen centuries. The decreed Age of the Resurrection—Al-Qiyamah—has arrived and begun.
This is not a call to speculation or theological debate. This is the fulfillment of Allah's (SWT) promise, the manifestation of His signs, and the commencement of the Great Event that the Holy Qur'an speaks of more than any other topic save monotheism itself. Yet as foretold, the majority of humanity, including the Ummah, remains unaware, divided, and tragically unprepared for this cosmic reality that unfolds before their very eyes.
The Divine Oath and Its Fulfillment
Allah (SWT) has declared to witness the Resurrection Day and the self-reproaching Spirit that dwells within every human soul. This is not merely a future promise—it is a present reality. The Almighty does not swear by that which is distant or uncertain, but by that which is immediate, certain, and already manifesting in the world.
The Night of Power and Fate—Laylat al-Qadr—has descended upon humanity. This blessed night, when divine decree flows from the heavens to earth, when angels descend with the Holy Spirit (Ruh), when peace reigns until dawn, marks the beginning of the Resurrection. It is the gentle opening of the cosmic door before the thunderous arrival of Al-Qariah—the Day of Noise and Clamour.
The Tragic Blindness of the Ummah
Yet even as these signs manifest with unprecedented clarity, the Ummah finds itself in the very condition that the Qur'an warned would befall them. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, foretold this tragic state: "There will come a time for my people when there will remain nothing of the Qur'an except its outward form and nothing of Islam except its name and they will call themselves by this name even though they are the people furthest from it. The mosques will be full of people but they will be empty of right guidance. The religious leaders of that day will be the most evil religious leaders under the heavens; sedition and dissension will go out from them and to them will it return." (Mishkat al-Masabih, Hadith 276)
This prophecy has been fulfilled with devastating accuracy. The Ummah today clings to the shell of Islam while remaining ignorant of its essence. They recite the verses of Al-Qiyamah without understanding their meaning. They await a resurrection that has already begun. They look to the sky for signs while the signs manifest within their own souls and in the regions of the earth around them.
The signs are everywhere—in the spiritual awakening of humanity, in the descent of divine knowledge, in the manifestation of the Cool Breeze of the Resurrection that flows from the hands and heads of those who have received their spiritual birth. Yet the religious authorities, bound by their limited interpretations and vested interests, refuse to acknowledge what Allah (SWT) has made manifest.
The Concealment of Divine Revelations
The gravest sin being committed in this age is the concealment and distortion of Allah's (SWT) revelations regarding Al-Qiyamah. For fourteen centuries, scholars have admitted their inability to comprehend the resurrection-related surahs, yet they have not hesitated to impose their limited understanding upon the faithful. The Qur'an warns with absolute clarity about the fate of such people:
This verse is not speaking of some distant future—it describes the present reality. Allah (SWT) will not address those who have veiled His revelations about the Resurrection. They have chosen the fleeting profits of religious authority over the eternal truth of divine guidance. They have sold the birthright of the Ummah for the temporary satisfaction of maintaining their positions of power.
The scattered verses relating to Al-Qiyamah have been "disfigured beyond recognition by mistranslations that reflect the views of the ulema." These religious leaders have imposed their doomsday fantasies upon the sublime reality of spiritual resurrection, leading the Ummah away from the very experience that Allah (SWT) intended for them.
Allah (SWT) has taken responsibility for collecting, promulgating, and explaining the verses of Al-Qiyamah. This is not the work of human scholars or religious institutions—it is the direct intervention of the Divine. Yet the Ummah continues to rely on the interpretations of those who have already admitted their incomprehension.
The Division Among Believers
As prophesied, the believers are bitterly divided over the Great News of the Resurrection:
This division is not accidental—it is the inevitable result of approaching the Resurrection with the mind rather than the heart, with scholarship rather than surrender, with tradition rather than truth. The Great News cannot be understood through intellectual analysis or theological debate. It can only be experienced through the awakening of the self-reproaching Spirit within.
Those who have received this awakening recognize the signs immediately. Their faces become "nadirah"—shining and radiant—as they look toward their Lord. But those who reject the truth find their faces "basirah"—dark, gloomy, sad and frowning. This is not a metaphor for some future state—it is the visible reality of the present moment.
The Day is now. The division is manifest. The choice is before every soul.
The Unawareness of the Hour
Perhaps the most tragic aspect of this cosmic moment is the widespread unawareness of what is taking place. The Qur'an repeatedly emphasizes that most humans will not recognize the Resurrection when it occurs:
The phrase "but ye used not to know" appears repeatedly in the Qur'an in connection with the Resurrection. This is not ignorance born of lack of information—it is willful blindness born of attachment to false expectations. The Ummah has been conditioned to expect a physical, external event—graves opening, the dead rising, the earth shaking. They have been taught to look for destruction rather than construction, for ending rather than beginning, for death rather than life.
But the Resurrection is not about graves opening—it is about souls awakening. It is not about the dead rising—it is about the spiritually dead coming to life. It is not about the end of the world—it is about the beginning of a new world of consciousness and divine connection.
The warning has been delivered. The matters have been judged. The Day of Pining—when souls will long for what they have missed—is upon us. Yet the majority remain unaware, lost in their expectations of a different kind of resurrection altogether.
The Manifesting Signs
The signs of Al-Qiyamah are not hidden or mysterious—they are manifest and clear for those who have eyes to see. The Qur'an promised that these signs would appear both in the regions of the earth and within human souls, and this promise has been fulfilled with remarkable precision.
The spiritual awakening of humanity is unprecedented in recorded history. Millions of people across all continents are experiencing the descent of the Cool Breeze—the Nafas al-Rahman, the Breath of the Merciful—flowing from their hands, heads, and other parts of their body. This is not imagination or self-deception—it is the tangible, verifiable sign of spiritual resurrection.
The Winds of the Resurrection are blowing. The spiritually dead lands of human consciousness are being revived. The earth of the human heart is being brought back to life through the descent of divine grace. Yet the religious authorities, bound by their literal interpretations, fail to recognize the metaphorical and spiritual reality of these verses.
The return of the Children of Israel to the Holy Land has been accomplished, fulfilling another crucial prophecy:
This gathering has occurred. The promise of the Hereafter—wa'dul akhirati—has come to pass. The Day of Judgment has commenced. Yet the Ummah continues to wait for signs that have already been fulfilled.
The Caller from Within
One of the most significant prophecies regarding Al-Qiyamah concerns the emergence of a Caller who will declare and commence the Resurrection:
The Caller has emerged. The place "quite near" is not a geographical location—it is the place within the human heart where the self-reproaching Spirit resides. The mighty Blast in Truth is not a physical sound—it is the awakening of consciousness that occurs when the Kundalini, the spiritual energy within every human being, rises and connects the individual soul with the Universal Soul.
This Caller does not come with external authority or institutional backing. The Caller comes with the authority of direct divine experience, with the power to awaken the dormant spiritual energy within seekers, with the ability to grant the actual experience of resurrection rather than mere belief in its possibility.
The messengers of Allah (SWT) in this age are not those who hold religious titles or institutional positions. They are those who have received the direct experience of divine connection and who can transmit this experience to others. They are those who can prove the truth of the Resurrection through demonstration rather than argumentation.
Yet the established religious order rejects these messengers, just as previous generations rejected the messengers sent to them. The pattern repeats with tragic consistency: those who claim to represent God reject those whom God actually sends.
The Arrogance of Religious Authority
The greatest obstacle to the recognition of Al-Qiyamah is not ignorance—it is arrogance. The religious establishment has invested so heavily in their interpretations, their institutions, and their authority that they cannot admit the possibility of being wrong about the most fundamental aspect of their faith.
This describes the spiritual condition of those who reject the Truth when it comes to them. They may perform the external rituals of religion—they may pray, fast, and give charity—but when the actual Truth of the Resurrection is presented to them, they reject it and turn away in full conceit.
Their conceit is not personal but institutional. They cannot accept that their seminaries have failed to understand the Qur'an, that their scholars have misinterpreted the most important verses, that their entire approach to religion has been fundamentally flawed. So they reject the Truth to preserve their pride, their positions, and their power.
This verse describes the spiritual blindness that afflicts those who approach religion with arrogance rather than humility. They can see all the signs of the Resurrection—the spiritual awakening of humanity, the descent of divine grace, the fulfillment of prophecies—yet they will not believe because belief would require them to abandon their arrogance and admit their limitations.
The Night of Power Before the Day of Clamour
The divine wisdom in the timing of the Resurrection reveals itself through the sequence of Al-Qadr and Al-Qariah—the Night of Power and Fate followed by the Day of Noise and Clamour. This is not merely chronological but represents the merciful nature of Allah's (SWT) plan for humanity.
Al-Qadr—the Night of Power and Fate—has descended upon the earth. This is the blessed time when:
This Night of Glory is not a single night in the month of Ramadan—it is the cosmic period of grace that precedes the final judgment. It is the time when the Holy Spirit descends to awaken human consciousness, when angels bring divine guidance to receptive souls, when peace reigns for those who surrender to the divine will.
During this blessed period, the doors of spiritual awakening are opened wide. The Kundalini energy, which represents the Holy Spirit within every human being, can be awakened through the grace of the Divine Mother. The experience of resurrection—the second birth, the baptism of Allah (SWT)—becomes available to all who seek it with sincere hearts.
But this period of grace will not last forever. It will be followed by Al-Qariah—the Day of Noise and Clamour:
Al-Qariah represents the time when the gentle opportunity of Al-Qadr gives way to the inevitable consequences of choice. Those who have used the Night of Power to awaken their spiritual consciousness will find themselves in "a life of bliss." But those who have rejected the opportunity, whose spiritual scale is light, will find that "their home will be the abyss."
The scale that is being weighed is not the scale of external religious observance—it is the scale of spiritual awakening. The good deeds that matter are not the rituals performed but the surrender to divine will, the opening of the heart to divine love, the awakening of the self-reproaching Spirit that leads to true self-knowledge and God-realization.
The Urgency of the Present Moment
We are living in the transition between Al-Qadr and Al-Qariah, between the Night of Power and the Day of Clamour. This is the most crucial period in human history—the time when every soul must choose between spiritual awakening and spiritual death, between divine connection and divine separation, between resurrection and destruction.
The signs are clear. The opportunity is present. The grace is available. But the window is not infinite. The Qur'an warns repeatedly about the consequences of missing this cosmic moment:
The portents have come. The Hour is upon us. The reminder has been delivered. Those who continue to wait for some other kind of resurrection, some other kind of signs, some other kind of divine intervention, will find themselves among those who cry out: "Where is the refuge?"
There is no refuge except in surrender to the divine will. There is no escape except through the door of spiritual awakening. There is no salvation except through the experience of resurrection that is available right now, in this very moment, to every sincere seeker.
The Final Warning
This declaration is not an invitation to debate or discussion. It is not a theological position to be analyzed or critiqued. It is the final warning before the gentle period of Al-Qadr gives way to the terrifying reality of Al-Qariah.
The Ummah stands at the crossroads of destiny. They can continue to follow the religious leaders who have led them astray, who have concealed the truth of the Resurrection, who have sold divine guidance for worldly profit. Or they can humble themselves before Allah (SWT), seek the direct experience of divine connection, and participate in the greatest event in cosmic history.
The apostle has been raised. The warning has been delivered. The choice is now individual and immediate. No religious authority can make this choice for another. No institutional affiliation can substitute for personal surrender. No amount of external religious observance can replace the inner awakening of the self-reproaching Spirit.
The time for intellectual understanding has passed. The time for theological debate has ended. The time for institutional reform has expired. This is the time for direct experience, for spiritual surrender, for the actual resurrection of consciousness that transforms a human being from a seeker into a knower, from a believer into an experiencer, from a follower into a realized soul.
The Resurrection Has Begun: Be Forewarned
Let there be no doubt, no hesitation, no further delay in recognizing the truth that stands before the entire human race: Al-Qiyamah—the Resurrection—has begun. The Night of Power and Fate has descended. The angels and the Holy Spirit move among humanity, offering the gift of spiritual awakening to all who will receive it.
This is not a future promise—it is a present reality. This is not a metaphorical teaching—it is a literal truth. This is not a religious doctrine—it is a cosmic fact that transcends all religious boundaries and institutional limitations.
The revelations and explanations of the surahs confirm what the awakened consciousness knows with absolute certainty: we are living in the most sacred and dangerous time in human history. Sacred because the opportunity for divine realization has never been more accessible. Dangerous because the consequences of missing this opportunity are eternal.
The Ummah has been warned. The signs have been shown. The messengers have been sent. The Caller has emerged from within. The verses have been collected, promulgated, and explained. The Cool Breeze of the Resurrection flows from the hands of those who have surrendered to the divine will.
Yet the majority remain asleep, dreaming of a different kind of resurrection while the real Resurrection unfolds around them and within them. They wait for external signs while the greatest sign—the awakening of their own consciousness—remains dormant within their hearts.
"Man is his own witness and judge." Each soul will face the consequences of their choices. Each individual will reap what they have sown. Each consciousness will experience the result of their surrender or their resistance to the divine call.
The religious authorities who have concealed these truths, who have distorted the meaning of the Qur'an, who have led the Ummah away from the very experience that Islam was meant to provide, will face the judgment they have brought upon themselves. Allah (SWT) will not address them on the Day of Resurrection. They have chosen their path, and they will walk it to its inevitable conclusion.
But for those who still have ears to hear and hearts to feel, the door remains open. The Night of Power continues. The grace flows. The opportunity exists. The choice is immediate and personal.
Do not wait for permission from religious authorities who have already proven their incomprehension. Do not seek validation from institutions that have failed in their most fundamental responsibility. Do not delay for the sake of social acceptance or family approval.
The Resurrection waits for no one. Al-Qadr will give way to Al-Qariah. The Night of Power and Fate will be followed by the Day of Noise and Clamour. The gentle opportunity will be replaced by the inevitable consequence.
The knowing is not intellectual—it is experiential. It is not theoretical—it is practical. It is not future—it is immediate.
This is the final call. This is the ultimate warning. This is the last opportunity before the cosmic door closes and the age of grace gives way to the age of judgment.
The Resurrection has begun. The Night of Power and Fate illuminates the path for those who will walk it. The Day of Noise and Clamour awaits those who refuse the call.
Be forewarned.

The Great Deception of Qiyamah: Why Centuries of Hadith-Based Indoctrination Prevent Muslims from Recognizing the Quran’s True Signs
Abstract
Before continuing with the interpretation of surahs and the true signs of Al-Qiyamah, one must confront a difficult reality: most Muslims will be shocked, dismissive, or in denial. This is not because the Quran lacks clarity, but because for centuries the Ummah has been conditioned to expect eschatological signs rooted in hadith rather than in the Quran itself. This paper argues that the overwhelming reliance on hadith has obscured and distorted Allah’s (SWT) authentic revelations regarding the Resurrection, potentially fulfilling Iblis’s own pledge to mislead humanity. By critically contrasting hadith-based predictions with the authority of the Quran—drawing upon verses such as Al-A'raf (7:16, 7:146) and Al-Hijr (15:39)—this study exposes how millions have been turned away from the genuine divine signs. Using resources such as al-qiyamah.org, the analysis challenges Muslims to reconsider whether their expectations of Qiyamah arise from Allah’s Word or from human traditions that have veiled it.

Islamic eschatology, the study of the end times or Day of Judgment (Qiyamah), holds a significant place in the Muslim faith. It serves as a reminder of the transient nature of the world and the ultimate accountability of humanity before Allah (SWT). The signs of Qiyamah, which are believed to precede the final hour, have been a subject of intense study and debate among Islamic scholars for centuries. These signs are broadly categorized into major and minor signs, and they are primarily derived from two sources: the Holy Quran, which is considered the direct word of Allah (SWT), and the Hadith, which are the sayings and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
While the Quran and Hadith are both revered sources of Islamic knowledge, a significant theological controversy has emerged regarding the authenticity and interpretation of the signs of Qiyamah. The traditional understanding, which is widely accepted within the Muslim world, is based on a collection of hadiths that describe a series of dramatic and supernatural events. These include the appearance of the Antichrist (Dajjal), the descent of Jesus (Isa), the emergence of Gog and Magog, and the rising of the sun from the west, among others.
However, a growing number of Muslims are beginning to question the validity of these hadith-based signs, arguing that they are not mentioned in the Quran and, in some cases, even contradict its teachings. This has led to a theological debate that pits the authority of the Hadith against the direct word of the Quran. Proponents of a Quran-centered approach argue that the true signs of Qiyamah are to be found within the verses of the Quran itself, and that the hadith-based signs are a form of deception that has been fabricated by humans and is part of a larger satanic plot to mislead the Ummah.
The eight major signs are a series of extraordinary events that are believed to signal the imminent end of the world. These include:

The hadith-based signs of Qiyamah have played a significant role in shaping the eschatological beliefs of the Muslim world. They have been the subject of countless books, lectures, and sermons, and they have been used to warn Muslims about the dangers of the end times. However, as we will see in the next section, these signs have also been the subject of intense criticism and debate.
3. A Quran-Centered Approach to Eschatology: The Argument for True Signs
In stark contrast to the hadith-based eschatology, a Quran-centered approach argues that the true signs of Qiyamah are to be found exclusively within the verses of the Holy Quran. Proponents of this view, as represented in the document and the website al-qiyamah.org, assert that the Quran is the ultimate and infallible source of divine truth, and that any hadith that contradicts the Quran must be rejected.
The central pillar of this argument is Surah Al-Qiyamah (75), which is dedicated entirely to the theme of the Resurrection. The surah begins with a powerful oath:
This oath, it is argued, is a direct and undeniable testament to the reality of the Resurrection, and it serves as a divine proclamation that the Day of Judgment is a certainty.
The surah then goes on to describe the events of the Resurrection in vivid detail. It speaks of the reassembling of bones and fingertips, the joining of the sun and moon, and the state of humanity on that day. It also contains a crucial passage that is central to the argument of al-qiyamah.org:
This passage is interpreted as a divine command to rely solely on the Quran for knowledge of the Resurrection, and as a promise that Allah (SWT) Himself will be responsible for its collection, promulgation, and explanation.
Key Insight: Quranic Signs Within Souls and Earth
The Quran-centered approach emphasizes that the true signs of Allah (SWT) are manifested within human souls and throughout the earth, rather than in dramatic external events.
In addition to Surah Al-Qiyamah, proponents of a Quran-centered approach point to a number of other verses that they believe are the true signs of the end times. These verses speak of the signs of Allah (SWT) within the human soul and on the earth, and they warn against the dangers of heedlessness and disbelief. For example, the verse "We will show them Our signs in all the regions of the earth and in their own souls until they clearly see that this is the truth" (Quran 41:53) is interpreted as a promise that the signs of Allah (SWT) will be made manifest to all of humanity.
The Quran-centered approach to eschatology represents a radical departure from the traditional understanding of the signs of Qiyamah. It challenges the authority of the Hadith and calls for a return to the direct word of the Quran. As we will see in the next section, this approach is closely linked to the belief that the hadith-based signs are a form of satanic deception.
4. Iblis's Deception and Allah's Warning: A Theological Analysis
The theological argument that the hadith-based signs of Qiyamah are a form of satanic deception is rooted in a close reading of several key Quranic verses. These verses, it is argued, reveal a divine warning that Iblis (Satan) would actively seek to mislead the Ummah, and that Allah (SWT) would, in turn, allow many to be turned away from His true signs.
The first set of verses concerns the promise of Iblis to mislead humanity. In Surah Al-A'raf, after being cast out of heaven for refusing to bow down to Adam, Iblis declares:
This is followed by a similar declaration in Surah Al-Hijr:
These verses are interpreted as a clear and direct statement of Iblis's intention to deceive and mislead the believers.
Key Insight: Allah's Response to Iblis's Promise
The theological argument suggests that Allah's warning in Al-A'raf 7:146 represents a divine response to Iblis's promise, allowing those who are arrogant to be led astray from His true signs.
The second key verse in this theological argument is found in Surah Al-A'raf:
This verse is interpreted as a divine response to Iblis's promise, a warning that Allah (SWT) Himself will allow those who are arrogant and who reject His true signs to be led astray. The argument is that the acceptance of the hadith-based signs, which are not found in the Quran, is a form of arrogance and a rejection of Allah's true signs. As a result, Allah has allowed the Ummah to be deceived by these false signs, just as Iblis promised.
This theological interpretation has profound implications for the understanding of Islamic eschatology. It suggests that the mainstream understanding of the signs of Qiyamah is not only incorrect, but is actually a fulfillment of a satanic plot to mislead the Ummah. It also suggests that the only way to escape this deception is to reject the hadith-based signs and to return to the direct word of the Quran. As we will see in the next section, this is the central message of the website al-qiyamah.org.
5. The Role of al-qiyamah.org: A Modern Interpretation
The website al-qiyamah.org presents itself as a modern-day fulfillment of the divine promise to collect, promulgate, and explain the verses of Al-Qiyamah, as stated in Surah Al-Qiyamah (75:16-19). It positions itself as the sole authoritative source for understanding the true signs of the Resurrection, and it launches a scathing critique of mainstream Islamic scholarship, which it accuses of concealing and distorting the divine revelations.
The website's central argument is that the Ummah has been in a state of "tragic blindness" for centuries, clinging to the "shell of Islam while remaining ignorant of its essence." It claims that the hadith-based signs of Qiyamah are a fabrication, a product of human error and satanic deception, and that the true signs are to be found in the Quran alone. The website's authors believe that the "decreed Age of the Resurrection—Al-Qiyamah—has arrived and begun," and that they have been chosen by Allah (SWT) to deliver this message to the world.
The website's theological position is based on a literal and direct interpretation of the Quran. It rejects the authority of the Hadith and the scholarly tradition, and it calls for a return to the pure and unadulterated word of Allah (SWT). The website's authors see themselves as the messengers of Allah (Al-Mujadilah, 58:21 – My Messengers Must Prevail) chosen to deliver a message of warning and guidance to a lost and misguided Ummah. They believe that they are the true inheritors of the prophetic tradition, and that they have been entrusted with the task of restoring the true meaning of Islam.
The website's message is a radical and challenging one, and it is likely to be met with resistance and criticism from the mainstream Islamic community. However, it is also a message that is likely to resonate with a growing number of Muslims who are disillusioned with the traditional interpretations of Islam and who are seeking a more direct and personal relationship with Allah (SWT). The website's call for a return to the Quran is a powerful one, and it is one that is likely to have a significant impact on the future of Islamic thought.
6. Conclusion: A Scholarly Assessment of the Theological Debate
This paper has provided a critical analysis of the theological debate surrounding the signs of Qiyamah in Islamic eschatology. It has examined the arguments and evidence presented by both the traditional hadith-based approach and the Quran-centered approach, as represented by the website al-qiyamah.org. The paper has shown that the two approaches are based on fundamentally different interpretations of the primary sources of Islamic knowledge, and that they have profound implications for the understanding of the end times.
The traditional hadith-based approach, which is widely accepted within the Muslim world, is based on a collection of hadiths that describe a series of dramatic and supernatural events. These signs have played a significant role in shaping the eschatological beliefs of the Muslim world, but they have also been the subject of intense criticism and debate.
The Quran-centered approach, on the other hand, rejects the authority of the Hadith and calls for a return to the direct word of the Quran. Proponents of this view argue that the true signs of Qiyamah are to be found within the verses of the Quran itself, and that the hadith-based signs are a form of satanic deception. This argument is based on a close reading of several key Quranic verses, which are interpreted as a divine warning that Iblis would actively seek to mislead the Ummah, and that Allah (SWT) would, in turn, allow many to be turned away from His true signs.
Key Insight: The Importance of Critical Examination
This theological debate highlights the crucial importance of critical thinking and direct engagement with primary sources in matters of faith, rather than relying solely on traditional interpretations.
As a scholarly assessment, it is not the purpose of this paper to endorse one view over the other. Rather, the goal has been to provide a balanced and objective analysis of the theological debate, and to encourage readers to engage in their own critical examination of the primary sources. The question of which signs are true and which are false is a matter of faith, and it is up to each individual to decide for themselves. However, it is clear that the debate over the signs of Qiyamah is a significant one, and that it is likely to have a profound impact on the future of Islamic thought.
In conclusion, the theological debate surrounding the signs of Qiyamah is a complex and multifaceted one. It is a debate that touches on some of the most fundamental questions of Islamic theology, including the nature of divine revelation, the authority of the Hadith, and the role of reason and critical thinking in matters of faith. It is a debate that is likely to continue for many years to come, and it is one that will undoubtedly shape the future of Islamic eschatology.
