Modern weaponry at the end of time

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Will advanced modern weaponry remain at the end of time?

Al-Allamah Salih Al-Fawzan, may Allah preserve him, stated:

As you know, nothing lasts forever and continues. There is no doubt that these inventions and manufactured (modern weaponry) will fade away. There is nothing that remains (forever) in this world. (Prophetic) reports have been transmitted that they will become obsolete at the end time and people will return to (using) horses and (traditional) weaponry. (I) For this reason, it is incumbent that horses remain and should not be abandoned. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Good will remain (as a permanent quality) in the foreheads of horses (for Jihad) till the Day of Resurrection”. (II)

وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَمِنْ رِبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ

And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy. (Al-Anfal 60)

There is no doubt that what currently exists will not last and will disappear and change. [end of quote]

(I) The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A’maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Madina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: “Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them”. The Muslims would say: “No, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them”. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army) which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah’s Sight, would be killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry out: “The Dajjal has taken your place among your family”. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them. When the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ). [Sahih Muslim 2897]
