Pleasant Wind

Pleasant Wind
(This is what is known in the Bible as "The Rapture")

The Pleasant Wind  will take the souls of all the remaining Believers. After this wind, only the UnBelievers will remain on Earth. This is what is known in the Bible as "The Rapture". However, the Hadith (sayings) of Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم seem to indicate that this "rapture" of the believers is going to happen after the return of Jesus and even after his death. Thus, the believers will be able to experience several blissful, wonderful years, under the rule of Jesus (peace be upon him), after the Dajjal is killed and Gog & Magog perish. This is contrary to what Christians believe that the rapture is going to be before the rise of Anti-Christ and the return of Jesus.

Nawwas ibn Sam'an narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  said:

" .... (After the Dajjal appears with his trails and tribulations,) it will at this very time that Allah will send the Messiah, son of Mary. He will descend at the white minaret on the eastern side of Damascus, wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he lowers his head, there will fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he raises it up, beads like pearls will scatter from it. Every non-believer who smells the odour of his body will die and his breath will reach as far as he is able to see. He will then go after (the Dajjal) until he catches him at the gate of Ludd and kills him. Then, a people whom Allah had protected will come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he will wipe their faces and inform them of their ranks in Paradise.

It will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to Jesus the following words: 'I have brought forth from among My servants such people against whom none will be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur (mountain).' Then, Allah will send Gog and Magog and they will swarm down from every slope. The first of them (Gog and Magog) will pass the lake of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee) and drink out of it. And when the last of them passes, he will say: 'There was once water there.'

Jesus and his companions will then be besieged here (at Tur mountain, and they will be so hard pressed) to the extent that an ox will be more valuable to them than one hundred Dinars (Arabic currency). Allah's Messenger  صلى الله عليه وسلم said, Jesus, and his companions will supplicate to Allah, Who will send to them (Gog and Magog) insects (which will attack their necks) and in the morning, they would perish as one single person. Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, Jesus, and his companions will then come down (from Tur mountain) and they will not find as much space as a single span that is not filled with decomposed remains of Gog and Magog's corpses. Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم   said, Jesus, and his companions will then supplicate to Allah who will send birds whose necks would be like those (the necks) of Bactrian camels and they will carry them (Gog and Magog) away and throw them where Allah wills.

Then Allah will send rain which no house of mud-bricks or (tent of) camel-hair will keep out and it will wash the Earth until it resembles a mirror. Then, the Earth will be ordered (by Allah) to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, pomegranate will grow that will be enough for a group of people to eat and seek shelter under its skin. A dairy cow will give so much milk that (will be enough for) a group of people to drink. The milking camel will give so such milk that a whole tribe will be able to drink from it...

At that time, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will soothe (people) even under their armpits. He will take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked will survive who will commit adultery like donkeys and the Last Hour would come to them."  (Sahih Muslim)

Aisha (may Allah bless her) narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  said: "... Allah will send a good (pleasant) wind that will cause death to everyone who has even the weight of a speck of mustard (the smallest bit) of faith in his heart. Shall remain (on Earth) whoever has no goodness; they will return to the religion of their fathers (a religion other than Islam)." (Sahih Muslim)
