Prior to the revelation of the glorious Quran, the Bible was the last heavenly book. The book of Revelation, which concludes the Bible, describes a dream of Jesus (peace be upon him). It concludes with several prophecies about the end of times, the most significant being the prophecy about the coming of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This prophecy includes information about the confinement of Satan for a thousand years (20:2), and that after a thousand years, Satan will be released and will mislead Gog and Magog to fill the earth with corruption (20:7-8).
This event began in the seventeenth century and is now reaching its peak. We live in the era of Satan, where confusion and deception are prevalent. For the first time in human history, atheism has spread as a dominant thought globally. Muslims, forgetting the final call of the Quran, are engrossed in worldly pursuits. Religious-minded people have left the original Quranic call of faith and morality and have adopted their innovations, nationalism, extremism, and superficiality as religion.
Despite this, it is a fact that the word of God is still preserved in its entirety in the form of the Holy Quran, and it is available in every home, with an original copy and a translation in their language. This is a great blessing from Allah Almighty, that the book in which God is expressing His will is within the reach of every individual and is present in their homes. From this perspective, we are standing in the era of the Quran today. This is a blessing that could not have been imagined in any previous era. The Quran guides us in the face of every Satanic temptation, that the secret to success in this world and the hereafter is to devote oneself to the one true God solely and to adopt the righteous deeds he has dictated. This secret, whoever embraces it, will achieve success not only in this world but also in the hereafter. The rest will be victims of the chaos of the era of Satan.
