People will lose their minds…

 

 Abu Musa (radi Allaahu anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Before the Hour comes there will be Harj,” I asked: “O Messenger of Allaah what is Harj” He said: “Killing.” Some of the Muslims said: “O Messenger of Allaah, currently we kill such and such number of pagans in a year.”  The Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “That killing won’t be like killing the idolaters, instead you will kill one another, until a man will kill his neighbor, his cousin, and close relatives. Some people said: “O Messenger of Allaah will we be in our right minds during that time.

 The Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “No, reason and intellect will be taken away from most of the people at that time. The people living during that time would have no intellect and be insignificant.”
