Abstract

The Prophet- may Allah's Peace & Blessings be upon him –informed about one of the Major Hour signs which is an Ethiopian man exiting at the end of time for destroying Al-Kaaba. The Prophet said, “Al-Kaaba will be destroyed by Dhul-Suwayqatayn of Alhabasha”. Several authentic and weak Hadiths stated that his characteristics stated in these Hadiths that Dhul-Suwayqatayn is a black strong Alhabasha man coming out at the end of time; this is the most right mentioned description of him.

Also, these Hadiths stated the prohibition of fighting Alhabasha. Scholars have different sayings in terms of this, but the most right view is that fighting Alhabasha will be prohibited unless they don’t fight Muslims and occupy their country. But destroying Al-Kaaba by this man will extract its treasure and damage its appearance. The scholars disagreed upon the essence of this treasure; Is it the gold mountain from which the Euphrates recedes or gold which A-Mahdi extracts, and perhaps the more likely view that it is other than what is collected in Al- Kaaba and extracted by Dhul-Suwayqatayn.

All of this takes place at the end of the world’s era, near the Hour, after the demise of Islam and its people's death.
