غرق ودمار وخروج الدجال ! بحيرة طبريا | د. عبدالله رشدي

Overview

The speaker, Dr. Abdullah Rashdi, addresses objections raised earlier about the Euphrates and Tigris, arguing that hidden archaeological findings show humans—and even advanced agencies such as NASA—do not know everything about Earth. He uses this to argue that unseen or undiscovered realities can still exist, and therefore believers should not reject Islamic prophetic reports (hadith) merely because people have not yet witnessed or confirmed them.

He then pivots to end-times discussion, focusing on the major signs, especially the Antichrist (al-Masih al-Dajjal) and three signs he allegedly questioned.

The Antichrist’s Alleged Questions and Signs

1) Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilee)

A hadith reports that the Antichrist asks whether Lake Tiberias still has water. The response is that it will eventually begin drying up.

The speaker claims contemporary observations—such as drought conditions and ongoing monitoring—indicate the lake’s water level has significantly dropped, suggesting the hadith’s warning is nearing fulfillment.

2) The Date Palms of Beisan

The hadith states the date palms will be fruitful now, but will soon stop bearing fruit and will not produce dates again.

The speaker argues that regional testimonies indicate the palms have stopped producing fresh dates, and that even dried dates are no longer seen as previously. He claims this prediction took roughly “about 1400 years” to manifest, aligning with his proposed timeline.

3) Spring/Zughar (near Tiberias)

The speaker says the hadith includes this spring as one of the Antichrist’s questioned signs. However, he notes he does not recall from memory whether the hadith predicts it will dry up. He emphasizes uncertainty regarding the spring’s fate compared with the lake and date palms.

Relationship Between the Signs, Gog and Magog, and the Lake

The speaker responds to a question: If Lake Tiberias dries up, what happens when Gog and Magog appear?

His interpretation is:

• The lake keeps some water until Gog and Magog emerge.
• It will not necessarily become completely dry until Gog and Magog arrive and drink the remaining water.
• Therefore, the process is gradual:
  • Drying happens over time during the Antichrist’s era
  • Near-total depletion occurs when Gog and Magog pass by

Broader End-Times Framing and Additional “Fulfilled” Prophecies

The speaker expands beyond the three signs, claiming that many earlier hadith predictions have already come true. Examples mentioned include:

• “Tall buildings” replacing earlier tribal/shepherd life
• A historically recurring pattern resembling a slave concubine bearing a child who later becomes an offspring associated with the mistress
• The Euphrates drying up, revealing a “mountain of gold” over which people will fight

He also notes that some people previously claimed the dried river referred to the Tigris rather than the Euphrates, and he cites online materials (as he describes them) claiming the Euphrates is also destined to decrease/dry.

Political/Geopolitical Commentary (Arab vs. Eastern Camp)

He frames current geopolitical developments as aligning with expectations of large regional blocs forming.

• He argues that coordination among Arab and Western-aligned powers against an Eastern camp reflects movement toward prophetic “major signs.”
• He clarifies that he is not asserting that a specific individual is definitely the Antichrist—rather, he urges attention to patterns.

Religious/Ideological Comments

Critique of “Extremism”

He criticizes what he calls “extremism,” distinguishing between:

• Rejecting or discussing ideas (not extremism, in his view)
• Violent action or destruction (extremism, in his framing)

Discussion of “Art”

He references a debate about art, stating:

• He opposes depictions that violate Islamic rules (such as nudity or sexual suggestiveness).
• He is not against art itself.

---

Conclusion

He reiterates that Islam began “strange” and will return “strange.” He praises those who revive forgotten parts of the Sunnah, and asks for blessings upon such people.
