Abu Dawud narrated in his Sunan, from Abdullah bin Yahya bin Yahya al-Zaydi, may Allah be pleased with him: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: "O Yahya, indeed I inform you of a matter, do not forget it. The first sign of the Hour will be the death of the scholars and the fall of the learned, and the occurrence of a war in the Levant, and the occurrence of a great event in the East."

In the previous hadith (27) and the preceding narration (26), it is indicated that the establishment of the Caliphate on the methodology of the Prophetic Sunnah, led by the Mahdi, will take place in Jerusalem, God willing. This means that the Muslims, led by the Mahdi, will conquer Al-Aqsa Mosque before the appearance of the Antichrist (Dajjal). This conquest, God willing, will occur between the years 1441 and 1447 AH, and the conquest of the Mosque will be in the year 1443 AH, as we will see in the following chapters.

Through what has preceded, we have concluded, praise be to Allah, the Almighty, the timing of the events of the End Times, which are, in order: 1. The appearance of the Mahdi, may Allah be pleased with him, will be, God willing, in the year 1441 AH, corresponding to the years 2019-2020 AD.

2. The fall of the modern Jewish state and the conquest of Al-Aqsa Mosque will be, God willing, in the year 1443 AH, corresponding to the year 2022 AD.

3. The appearance of the Antichrist (Dajjal), may Allah curse him, will be, God willing, in the year 1447 AH, corresponding to the year 2026 AD.

4. The descent of Jesus, peace be upon him, will be, God willing, in the year 1447 AH, corresponding to the year 2026 AD.
