Question
It is mentioned in the Hadith that people would be disfigured into apes while they would be indulging in liquor and music. Will they be literally disfigured? Or does this apply to bygone times?
Answer
Physical disfiguration and transformation of faces into apes will take place in the era very close to Qiyaamah. It will be the very last of ages. In present times spiritual disfiguration occurs. The hearts become like the hearts of apes and swines. The attributes of these animals begin to manifest in people. The Hadith does not refer to people of bygone times. It refers to future times.
