When the purpose for which humanity was created ceases to exist
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prophecied that the world would not come to an end until religious knowledge was raised and great ignorance descends.
He prophecied that consumption of alcohol and mind altering substances would become widespread.
He prophecied that fornication, adultery and sexually deviancy would become the norm.
He prophecied that unlawful killing would greatly increase!
Islam guarantees humanity's well-being in this world and the hereafter. This purpose is realized through the protection and preservation of five major objectives i.e. Religion, lineage, mind, wealth and person.
The more and more people neglect and turn away from the true religion of Allah the more and more these objectives are lost.
Before this world comes to an end these objectives will be lost entirely and immorality so general and widespread that the purpose in which Allah created the world will cease to exist.
"Does man reckon that he will be left without purpose (be left without being enjoined to do good and forbidden from evil)?" 75/36
When humanity reaches this deplorable state this world will come to an end and the Day of Resurrection will be established upon the most evilest of the creation.
Anas ibn Malik reported that the messenger of Allah said;
"From the signs of the Hour is the raising of knowledge, the descending of ignorance, the widespread consumption of alcohol and widespread fornication and adultery."
Agreed upon
Abdullah ibn Masōd and Abu Moosa reported that the messenger of Allah said;
"There will be days before the last Hour wherein knowledge will be raised and ignorance will descend and haraj be widespread and haraj is killing!"
Agreed upon
