• In 8 hadiths narrated by our Prophet (saas) and told by Imam Suyuti who is one of the greatest hadith imams it is notified that the life span of the world is 7000 years and 5600 years of this have passed until the time of our Prophet (saas).
• When we extract 5600 from 7000, 1400 years is left.
• In another hadith, our Prophet (saas) told that “the life span of this ummah will not quite pass 1500 years.”
• Since we are in the year of Hijri 1430 now and calculate that we are in the Hijri 14th century till the year of Hijri 1500, then it is a certain fact that Hazrat Mahdi (as) has to come within this century.
• Because there is no other century left for Hazrat Mahdi (as) to come.
• The realization of almost all the portents of the End Times narrated by our Prophet (saas) in the hadiths one after the other since the beginning of the Hijri 1400, clearly shows that we are in the End Times and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come within this century.
• Further the fact that all of the portents have been realized in the last 30 years confirms the hadiths that the life span of the world is 7000 years, 5600 years of this have passed till the time of our Prophet (saas) and the life span of this ummah will not quite pass 1500 years.
