5.31 Ba Ka Taɓa Tunanin Za Ka Yi Magana Ba
5.31 Never Thought You Would Speak
Daga Abū Sa’īd al-Khudrī, ya ruwaito cewa Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "Ina rantsuwa da Wanda raina yake a hannunsa, Tashin Alƙiyama ba zai faru ba sai dabbobin daji sun yi magana da mutane, kuma sai sandan dokin mutum da layukan takalmansa sun yi magana da shi, cinyarsa kuma ta sanar da shi abin da ya faru da iyalinsa bayan ya tafi."340
Abū Sa’īd al-Khudrī reports that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “By the One in whose hand is my soul, the Hour will not commence until predators speak to people, and until the tip of a man’s whip and the straps on his sandals speak to him, and his thigh informs him of what occurred with his family after he left.”340

One can only imagine how difficult these statements were for a seventh-century desert dweller to process, but the incredible strides in electricity and electronics since then have made such possibilities mundane for most people. In TIME’s Best Inventions of 2002, a Japanese toy-maker is showcased for creating a dog translator; a device on its collar that interprets its yelps, growls, and whines into phrases such as “I can’t stand it”, “how boring”, and “I am lonely.”341 In November of 2006, The New York Times published an article entitled “These Shoes Are Made for Talking,” hailing a new age of futuristic sports training.342 In January of 2010, a security camera app was released which transformed the smart-phones on our hips and in our pockets into windows into our homes.343 Another example is our ability to video chat with family members from afar. Perhaps these are what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم intended, or perhaps other phenomena that we have yet to experience.
Saboda taƙaitawa, za mu tsaya a kan wannan jerin annabce-annabcen da aka tabbatar daga Allah na ƙarshen annabi, Muhammad ﷺ. Sai dai abin lura ne cewa duk da cewa Annabi ﷺ ya bayyana alamomi masu yawa na ƙarshen zamani, bai taɓa ƙayyade takamaiman rana ko lokaci ba. Maimakon haka, a lokuta da dama yana karanta wa mutane ayoyi irin waɗannan daga Alƙur'ani: "Ka ce, [Ya Muhammad], 'Babu wanda ke cikin sammai da ƙasa da ya san abin ɓoye sai Allah, kuma ba sa sanin lokacin da za a tashe su.'" ﷺ344
For the sake of brevity, we will settle for this set of verified prophecies of God’s final prophet, Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is noteworthy, however, that although the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم described so many portents of the end-times, he never specified an exact date or time. Rather, he would on multiple occasions recite to people the likes of these verses from the Qur’an: “Say, [O Muhammad], ‘None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.’”344
Wani mutum na iya jayayya cewa wannan ma wata annabci ce, wato cewa duk wani takamaiman hasashe game da lokacin tashin Sa'a — wanda mutane marasa adadi suka yi a tarihi — zai zama kuskure. Duk mutum mai adalci da ya yi la'akari da yawan waɗannan annabce-annabce, kuma ya yi tunani cewa mu kanmu shekaru 50 da suka wuce ba za mu iya hasashen abubuwan da ﷺ ya yi hasashensu ba, dole ne ya burge da su. Saboda yawansu da daidaitonsu, dole ne a dauke su abin da suke: hujjoji masu matukar gamsarwa na annabcinsa ﷺ.
Someone can argue that this too constitutes another prophecy, namely that every specific prediction about when the Final Hour will be—which countless people have made throughout history—will be mistaken. Any fair-minded person who considers the staggering number of these prophecies and reflects that we ourselves 50 years ago could never have predicted the events he صلى الله عليه وسلم predicted, must be impressed by them. Given the number and precision of these prophecies, they must be seen for what they are: overwhelmingly convincing proofs of his prophethood .
