It was reported from Anas that the Prophet - sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam - said, "The Hour will not come until no-one on earth says 'La ilaha illa Allâh'." (Ahmad) It was also reported from Anas that the Prophet - sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam - said: "The Hour will not come until no-one on earth says, 'Allâh, Allâh'." (Ahmad) There are two suggestions as to the meaning of the phrase, "until no-one on earth says 'Allâh, Allâh'":
1. It could mean that no-one will forbid evil, or try to correct another if he sees him doing something wrong. We have already come across this in the Hadîth of 'Abdullâh ibn 'Amr: "Only the worst people will be left; they will not know any good or forbid any evil."
2. It could mean that Allâh will no longer be mentioned, and His Name will not be known; this will be part of the prevalent corruption and Kufr, as in the previous Hadîth, "Until no-one on earth says 'La ilaha illa Allâh'."
