“The End of the Time/Latest Time” is a concept used to identify the last period of time of the life in the world before the Final Hour. According to the Islamic belief, the world has an end just as it has a beginning. However, humans are not informed about when this end will come. The knowledge on the predestination of the world’s lifetime, just like that of humans’, belongs to Allah. This fact is stated in the Holy Qur’an as follows, “They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?1 Say, “Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him.” (A’raf, 7/187); “Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour.” (Luqman, 31/34) On the other hand, as there will not be any other messenger sent after the Prophet Muhammad (saw), he is called as “the prophet of the latest time”, and his ummah is called as “ummah of the latest time”. In this sense, we live in the end of the time.
