'''The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned the Dajjal (Antichrist) saying: If he comes forth while I am among you''' I shall be the one who will dispute with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth when I am not among you, a man must dispute on his own behalf, and Allah will take my place in looking after every Muslim. Those of you who live up to his time should recite over him the opening verses of Surat al – Kahf, for they are your protection from his trial. We asked: How long will he remain on the earth ? He replied : Forty days, one like a year, one like a month, one like a week, and rest of his days like yours. We asked : Messenger of Allah, will one day’s prayer suffice us in this day which will be like a year ? He replied : No, you must make an estimate of its extent. Then Jesus son of Marry will descend at the white minaret to the east of Damascus. He will then catch him up at the date of Ludd and kill him." - {{Abudawud|38|4307}}</ref>

{{Quote|[https://sunnah.com/bulugh/2/441 Bulugh al-Maram 2:509]|

He [the Prophet (ﷺ)] prayed during an earthquake six bowings and four prostrations, and said, "This is the way the Prayer of the Signs (of Allah) is offered.

{{Quote|Luke 21:9-11|

When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”

I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Ghazwa of Tabuk while he was sitting in a leather tent. He said, "'''Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour: my death''', the conquest of Jerusalem, a plague that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep, the increase of wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satisfied; then an affliction which no Arab house will escape, and then a truce between you and Bani Al-Asfar (i.e. the Byzantines) who will betray you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve thousand soldiers.

}}

The context is that it will be a sign that the Hour is coming. But Muhammad died more than a thousand years ago and the Hour didn't come.

{{Quote|The Bible, Genesis 19:3-8|

He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”  Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them.

}}

When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”

{{Quote|{{Abudawud|38|4288}}|

Narrated from Abi Sukainah One of the Companions:

}}

In other hadith, Muhammad actually predicted that after a few wars, Muslims will exterminate the Turks:

But apologists like to say that "the pen" is a metaphor for "literacy". And literacy was already increasing before Muhammad was born. Jews and Christians first used oral traditions, but then switched to writing. The trend was already there.

===Family ties will be severed===

They like to translate the word الأطباق as "dishes" (although the classical translation (understanding) fits better into the context) and then they interpret the "dishes" as "satellites".

===Ignorance [of Islamic teachings]===

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Near the establishment of the Hour there will be days during which '''Religious ignorance will spread''', knowledge will be taken away (vanish) and there will be much Al-Harj, and Al- Harj means killing."}}

===Tall buildings===

}}

And the hadith doesn't say skyscrapers, it only says "tall" and "tall" is relative. There might have been people in the 7th century building buildings that could be considered tall in that time. Ibn Hajar wrote in his famous commentary on Sahih Bukhari:

There's a modern metaphorical interpretation that "rising of the Sun from the west" refers to the rise of the Western civilization.

There is also a Quranic verse which supports the concept that Allah literally moves the Sun from the East to the West and that it is therefore possible (for him) to move it the other way:

}}

====Conquest of Constantinopole without fighting and the Hour come together====

}}

====Rain which will destroy all dwellings except tents====

}}

====People commonly have sex in the streets, like donkeys====

This hadith could be also in the category of things that always happened, because although abundance of deaths is not happening, the pophecy is designed to make people think that "It's coming!" whenever someone is struck by lightning.

====Luka bin Luka will be the happiest person====

It's not clearly established that there are currently 73 sects.

====Emergence of Sufyani====

}}

===Fulfilled===

}}

==="People will treat a man with respect because they fear the evil he could do"===

And this was happening long before Islam.
