End Of The World
End Of The World
(God is) the Knower of the future; He does not permit anyone to unveil such knowledge. Only through the messengers that He chooses does He reveal future and past events." [ 72:27 ]
Among the duties charged to me as God's Messenger of the Covenant is unveiling the end of the world (Page 415). We learn from 18:7-8 and 69:13-15 that this world will come to an end. A new earth and new heavens will replace the present heavens and earth (14:48).
Signs of the Approaching End of the World
Signs of the Approaching End of the World
The Quran provides many signs, and states that the means for unveiling the end of the world have been given (47:18). The signs given in the Quran include:
1. The splitting of the moon: This already happened in June 1969 when we landed on the moon and brought back moon rocks. People on earth can go now to many museums, colleges and observatories to look at pieces of the moon.
2. Discovering the Quran's 19-based mathematical code (74:30-37): Fulfilled in 1969-1974.
3. The creature (27:82): "Made from the earth, it alerts the people that they have been oblivious to their Creator." The Creature, made from the earth, did appear and was instrumental in unveiling the Quran's numerical code, and proclaiming that the world has neglected God's message; the creature is the computer. Note that the digits that make up 27:82 add up to 19.
4. Appearance of God's Messenger of the Covenant (3:81): As detailed in Appendix 2, a consolidating messenger, prophesied in the Quran, comes after all the prophets have delivered the scriptures, to purify and unify. This prophecy was fulfilled in Ramadan 1408.
5. The Smoke (44:10): occurs after God's Messenger of the Covenant has delivered the unified message and proclaimed Islam (Submission) as the only religion acceptable by God.
6. Gog and Magog: they re-appear, in accordance with God's plan, in the year 1700 AH (2271 AD). Gog and Magog are mentioned in 18:94 and 21:96. If you count the verses from 18:94 to the end of Sura 18, you find them 17. If you count the verses from 21:96 to the end of Sura 21, you find them also 17. This is the Quran's sign that Gog and Magog will re-appear in 1700 AH.
Verse 15 of Sura 20 informs us that the end of the world will be revealed by God before the end of the world, and Sura 15, Verse 87, gives the time for that event:
The seven pairs are the 14 Quranic Initials. The total gematrical value of these profound pillars of the Quran's miracle pinpoints the year of the end of the world. It is noteworthy that Verse 85 of Sura 15 states: "The end of the world will surely come to pass." The next verse, 15:86, tells us that God is the Creator of this world, and, of course, He knows when it will end. The following verse, 15:87, tells us when the world will end. As shown in Table 1, the gematrical values of "The Seven Pairs" of Quranic Initials total 1709 (see also Table 1 of Appendix 1). According to 15:87, the world will survive for 1709 lunar years from the time this prophecy is stated in the Quran. This means that the world will end in the year 1710 AH. This number is a multiple of 19; 1710 = 19x90.
Table 1: Total Gematrical Value of "The Seven Pairs" of Quranic Initials
The unveiling of this information took place in the year 1400 AH, 309 years before the prophesied end of the world (1709-1400=309). The number 309 is a Quranic number (18:25), and is connected with the end of the world (18:21). The peculiar way of writing 309 in 18:25, "Three hundred years, increased by nine," indicates that the 309 are lunar years. The difference between 300 solar years and 300 lunar years is 9 years.The year of this discovery, 1400 AH, coincided with 1980 AD, and 1980 plus 300 solar years is 2280, also a multiple of 19, 19x120. Thus the world ends in 1710 AH, 19x90, which coincides with 2280 AD, 19x120. For the disbelievers who do not accept these powerful Quranic proofs, the end of the world will come suddenly (6:31, 44, 47; 7:95, 187; 12:107; 21:40, 22:55; 26:202; 29:53; 39:55; 43:66; and 47:18).
While Hadith is forbidden as a source of religious teachings (Appendix 19), it can be a useful source of history. We can derive a lot of information about historical events and local customs and traditions during the early centuries of Islam. The books of Hadith indicate that the Quranic Initials were believed to determine the life span of the Muslim Ummah. The classic exegesis by Al-Baydaawy cites the following historical event as a possible explanation of the Quranic Initials. The same event is detailed in Al-Suyooty's ITQAAN, First Printing, 1318 AH, Vol 2, Page 10:
Although this narration is well known, many scholars have been reluctant to accept the unmistakable connection between the Quranic Initials and the end of the world. They could not bring themselves to deal with this subject for the simple reason that the calculation makes the end of the world, and judgment, a reality.

The Connection with [20:15]
Sura 20 Verse 15 informs us that the end of the world will be revealed by God before the end of the world:
"The Hour (End of the World) is surely coming, I will keep it almost hidden. For each soul must be paid for its works." [ 20:15 ]
At the time when Rashad Khalifa had discovered "the time when the world ends", we were in the 20th century A.D. / 15th century A.H. - the statement is mentioned in Sura [20:15].
As well, verse 87 in Sura 15, gives the time for that event:
"We have given you the seven pairs and the Great Quran" 15:87
The seven pairs are the 14 Quranic initials. The total gematrical value of these profound pillars of the Quran's miracle pinpoints the year of the end of the world.
The gematrical value of all the 14 sets (seven pairs) of initials of the suras of the Quran is 1709. This number corresponds to 1709 years after the revelation of the Quran and to the end of the world.
20:15, where God informs us that the end of the world will not remain hidden, has a very important number. Of all the 6346 verses in the Quran God chose verse 20:15 to say it is 'ALMOST' hidden. The number 2015 is a composite number . The index of the composite number 2015 is 1709. Almost hidden indeed, all praise be to GOD.
As you can see the year of the end of the world is pointed to in 20:15 indirectly from the moment the Quran was revealed. Dr. Khalifa, did not know about this relationship with 20:15 and 1709 when he wrote his translation of the Quran and pointed to the end of the world in appendix 25 of his translation.
The first prime number is 2. The 19th prime number is 67. There are 47 composite numbers between these two important numbers. The sum of these 47 composite numbers is 1709
The first prime is 2, the 19th prime is 67. The 267th prime number is 1709
The Jews of Medina went to the Prophet and said, "Your Quran is initialed with A.L.M., and these Initials determine the life span of your religion. Since `A' is 1, `L' is 30, and `M' is 40, this means that your religion will survive only 71 years." Muhammad said, "We also have A.L.M.S." They said, "The `A' is 1, the `L' is 30, the `M' is 40, and the `S' is 90. This adds up to 161. Do you have anything else?" The Prophet said, "Yes, A.L.M.R." They said, "This is longer and heavier; the `A' is 1, `L' is 30, `M' is 40, and `R' is 200, making the total 271." They finally gave up, saying, "We do not know how many of these Initials he was given!" [Al-Suyuty's Famous Reference ITQAAN]
