Pleasant Wind (Breeze) (This is what is known in the Bible as "The Rapture")
The Pleasant Wind (or Breeze) 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 (Anti-Christ) 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 Lud 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)
Abd Rahman bin Shamasah al-Mahri narrated: "I was in the company of Maslamah bin Mukhallad, and Abdullah bin Amr ibn 'As was with him. Abdullah bin Amr ibn 'As said: " The Hour shall come only when the worst type of people are left on the earth. They will be worse than the people of pre-Islamic days. They will receive whatever they ask of Allah. While we were still sitting, Uqbah bin Amir came and Maslamah said to him: Uqbah, listen to what Abdullah says. Uqbah said: He knows better so far as I am concerned. I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم say: "A group of people from my nation will continue to fight in obedience to the Command of Allah, remaining victorious over their enemies. Those who oppose them shall not do them any harm. They will remain in this condition until the Hour overtakes them. Abdullah bin Amr ibn 'As said: Yes. Then, Allah will send a wind, which will be fragrant like musk and whose touch will be like the touch of silk, that will cause the death of all (faithful) persons, not leaving behind a single person with an iota of faith in his heart. Then only the worst of men will remain to be overwhelmed by the Hour (of Resurrection)." (Sahih Muslim)
Abdullah bin 'Amr narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, " The Dajjal (Anti-Christ) will appear in my Ummah, and will remain for forty - "I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years." - Then Allah will send Jesus son of Mary, who looks like Urwah bin Masud. He (Jesus) will chase the Dajjal and kill him. Jesus will stay among people for seven years during which there will be no enmity between any two persons. Then, Allah will send a cool wind from the direction of AshSham (Greater Syria), which will take the soul of everyone who has the slightest speck of good or faith in his heart. Even if one of you were to enter the heart of a mountain, the wind would reach him there and take his soul. Only the most wicked people will be left; they will be as careless as birds, with the characteristics of beasts, and will have no concern for right and wrong. Then, Satan will come to them in human form and say: 'Don't you respond?' And they will say: 'What do you order us to do?' And he (Satan) will order them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they will have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then, the trumpet will be blown and no one will hear that but he will bend his neck and raise it. He (the Prophet) said 'The first one to hear that trumpet will be the person who will be busy repairing the water reservoir for his camels (to drink). He will be struck and the other people will also struck, then Allah will send or He (the Prophet) said will bring down rain which will be like men's semen, out of which the bodies of the (dead) people will grow. Then the trumpet will be blown another time and they (dead people) will be resurrected and be looking around.' Then it will be said: 'O people, go to your Lord (God)'. Then he (the Prophet) mentioned verse 24 of Chapter 37: 'Stop them for they must be questioned.' He (the Prophet) said "Then it will be said 'Bring out the groups of Hell-Fire'. It will be said 'How many ? ' It will be said: 'Out of every one thousand, nine hundred ninety nine.' Then, He (the Prophet) said: 'That is the day (and he mentioned the end of verse 17 of Chapter 73) that makes children turn grey-haired.' Then he mentioned the end of verse 42 of Chapter 68: 'The day that reveals the great affliction, and they will be called to prostrate, but they can not.' " (Sahih Muslim) فقال عبدالله بن عمرو بن العاص: ثم يبعث الله ريحا كريح المسك . مسها مس الحرير . فلا تترك نفسا في قلبه مثقال حبة من الإيمان إلا قبضته . ثم يبقى شرار الناس ، عليهم تقوم الساعة
In the Tafsir (interpretation) of the Ayah "Until the Gog and Magog are let through (their barrier)'" (al-Anbiya 21:96), it is reported by Ka'b Al-Ahbar that Zul-Suwayqatayn will first emerge at the time of Jesus, son of Mary. Jesus will lead a army of seven and eight hundred Muslim soldiers and march to fight Zul-Suwayqatayn. While they are marching towards Zul-Suwayqatayn, Allah will send a breeze from the direction of Yemen, which will take the soul of every faithful believer. Only the worst of people will be left, and they will begin to copulate like animals. Ka'b said: "At that time, the Hour (of Resurrection) will be very close."
Huzaifah bin Al-Yaman said, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, " Islam will become worn out like clothes are, until there will be no-one who knows what fasting, prayer, charity and rituals are. The Qur’an will disappear in one night, and no Ayah (verse) will be left on Earth. Some groups of old people will be left who will say, "We heard our fathers saying La ilaha illa Allah, so we repeat it." Silah asked Huzaifah, "What will saying La ilaha illa Allah do for them when they do not know what prayer, fasting, ritual and charity are?" Huzaifah ignored him; then Silah repeated his question three times, and each time Huzaifah ignored him. Finally he answered,' O Silah, it will save them from Hell ' and said it three times." (Ibn Majah)
