Muslims' Conquest of New York City and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ: Prophet Muhammad's Prophecies of the End's Time

By F. M. Mossa

New York City is notable among world cities for having part of it―the Bronx―located on land, while its remaining parts―Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn and Queens―are found in the sea, the Atlantic Ocean. The year 1624 is considered to mark the true emergence of New York City. But a thousand years earlier, the Prophet alluded to this city and told his companions that a Muslim army would invade it in the future. The Prophet died in 631 AD, while the remarkable city did not achieve the unique shape to which the Prophet referred in his speech―“a city of which a part is established on land and the other is established in the sea” [Imam Muslim: speech No. 2920] ―until 1898.

Foreword

Scattered here and there in the Quran and the Books of Sunna—books in which the Prophet’s authentically-traced-back sayings and speeches are compiled—are numerous future incidents that, according to Muslims beliefs, will inevitably take place in the ordinary course of events before the coming of Doomsday. These Prophetical ahaddieth[1] which bear signs or show plainly presages of the end’s time usually begin with the expressions The Hour[2] will not occur before …, or Before the coming of the Hour…, followed by narrations or hints of a number of future events or, in some cases, natural phenomena, the occurrence of which will give—and has already given indeed—to people obvious warnings that the humankind’s worldly life is nearing its end.

Being narrated by a wide number of the Prophet’s companions, and told by the Prophet himself on many different occasions, these ahaddieth may differ in their details from one to another, though they do not contradict, and the events they mentioning to—known to Muslims as the Presages of the Hour—are divided in Muslims’ writings into two main sections: the Minor Presages and the Superior Presages. The allotment of these presage-incidents into each division, nevertheless, not being established by the Prophet himself, is relatively varied, and even the array of their occurrence in future time is not for the most part strictly definite, too. 

Surprisingly, concerning the case of the end’s time, a considerable number of these presage-incidents told by the Prophet had already taken place, and thus they have been, no doubts, included ever since in the books of history: Muslims’ conquest of Jerusalem in the seventh century; the Mongolian invasion of the Islamic lands in the thirteenth century; World War II, and the gathering and settling of the Jews in flocks in Palestine during the nineteenth and twentieth century, to establish their State of Israel, are among the most remarkable of such incidents.

And yet, of these presage-incidents what we are contemporary with, such as the siege of Iraq during the 1990s and the recent siege of Gaza; while yet others are so near: a siege to be laid to Egypt, and the retarding of Euphrates’ water that will bring about exposing a gold mount—unknown span of time to come, but expected to take place in the very near future.

Still to come presage-incidents, on the other hand, include at its climax what seems to be a world war between Christendom and the Islamic World. As a consequence of this world war, which seems to be a destructive one, Muslims will meet a disastrous defeat at the beginning of it, but will capture at the end of the war the cities of Rome and New York. This very event will bring in its train the coming out of the Antichrist, the Descent of Jesus Christ[3] and, eventually, the incursion of the world by two savage nations known in Muslims’ tradition as Yajouge and Majouge[4].

Before setting out on our journey through the pages, I see it well to declare that every book belonging to what known as the Sunna books is known among Muslims by the name of its compiler, though every book of them has its own title given to it by the compiler himself. Therefore, the reader will find that every haddieth mentioned in the footnotes is attributed directly to the compiler who introduced it, and cited by its number in the compiler’s book without mentioning his book’s title— this way of citation is considered and agreed on in Arabic and Islamic resources.

[1] The Arabic word ahaddieth means speeches; its single form is haddieth.

[2] The Hour is one of many other names that stand for Doomsday in Muslims’ tradition.

The First Step on the Road

It will be impractical, I think, to re-relate in this part of the book the presage-incidents that have already become the subject of history books, and it is impractical too to ignore them just because of this reason. So, we might agree on finding the middle ground: to make acquaintance with the ahaddieth in which the Prophet had mentioned to each of these events, and to show in quick glimpses how these presages were executed by people. 

"Count down six events to take place till the occurrence of Doomsday: the death of me ...[5], thus enunciated the Prophet one day to one of his companions the first landmark" the world would pass by in its way to its end; and the above incident—the death of the Prophet—took place in, or about, the year 630 A.D.

At the sixty-third year of his age, and after an eventful life crowned finally with a glorious success in executing his Prophetical mission, the Prophet died at his home in the arms of his beloved wife, Ayesha. A fortnight earlier, while returning from the funeral ceremony of one Muslim, the Prophet had contracted a fever that accompanied with a keen headache which made him fell seriously ill. The fever was so severe that someone among those who were attending him during his illness tells us that they could feel its heat in the cloth-poundage which the Prophet used to tie his head by it to smooth the pain.

Very weary and exhausted though he was, the Prophet tried not to cease to attending the daily five prayers with his companions in the mosque of Medina, nor sharing and dividing equal times with his wives, as anyone got more than one wife is ordered to do in Islam. And so the Prophet kept changing his residence daily from one house of his wives to another. "Where shall I be tomorrow? Where shall I be tomorrow?[6]" he would ask them, and his
