Always been fascinated but not entirely convinced about 'end of days' theories and how different scholars approach the prophecies by the Rasul saw on the events before qiyamat , on mahdi , dajjal and the rest ( as sufiyan , about the one who kills as sufiyan ) etc .

While I do agree the some views of taking things entirely word
by word is idiocy , example hadith says dajjal will ride a donkey of so and so length do not mean he will actually ride a donkey .

Dajjal will have a mountain of bread with him do not actually have to mean he will carry bread with him every where .

Where as the river Euphrates exposing her wealth may seem to some as oil and other minerals in the modern era who knows a few centuries from
now other materials may be most valuable to humans.

I have yet to see someone place a more logical sequence of events . For
one event to happen other events need to happen before it , example conquering the Constantinople by Muslims / ( meaning it will not be occupied by muslims or under control of them ) .

Rome is the center of power which will be conquered by muslims.
( meaning the political power as seen today will not exist , America will be gone , europe will make rome its leader )

Occupation and bringing to trial leaders of Al hind meaning the indian sub continet will be against Al mahdi ( Al hind broadly describes the whole region , which indirectly says people here might not stay within the Ummah
by then )

Africa will become a powerful player whose leader will acknowledge
Al mahdi as the leader of the world.

Allinace with muslims and christians for fighting a common enemy before starting to fight amongst themselves.

These things make you think there are still a while to go before the
scenarios take place.

Two opposite contrasts some take thinks too literally and for others excess hypothesis rules out the possibility the Rasul saw was talking about a
world in future still unknown to us.
