The Hour will not come until al-Lat and al-‘Uzza are worshipped.
‘Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say,“The night and day will not end until Lat and ‘Uzza (idols of the age of ignorance) are worshipped again.”I said,“O Messenger of Allah! I thought that when Allah revealed this verse: ‘Allah is He Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion so that He may make it prevail over all religions, even though the polytheists may dislike it,’ that this promise would be fulfilled (and no religion except Islam would remain dominant).”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“It will remain as long as Allah wills. Then Allah will send a pure wind by which every believer will die, even every person in whose heart there is faith equal to a grain. Only those people will remain in whom there will be no goodness. Then those people will return to the religion of their (polytheist) forefathers.”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Have you heard about a city, one side of which is on land and the other side is on the sea?" The companions said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah! We have heard (i.e., it is Constantinople)." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until seventy thousand people from the descendants of Ishaq (Isaac) fight against this city. When they reach near this city, they will camp there. They will not fight with weapons nor shoot arrows, but they will say: ((La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar)), and the side of it that is by the sea will fall. Then they will say ((La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar)) a second time, and its other side will fall. Then they will say ((La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar)) a third time, and it will open from all sides. Thus, they will enter the city and seize the spoils of war. While they are distributing the spoils, suddenly a caller will come and announce that the Dajjal has emerged, so they will leave everything and return (towards the Dajjal)."
