- The general decay of things after Prophet 'Eyssa, which is also going to take a while. At the end of this period, there won't be any believers left on Earth, and everyone would be engaged in polytheism. This is when "Dhu’l-Suwayqatayn" comes along from Ethiopia, and destroys the Ka'bah, with a spade and pick-ax:
Abdullah son of ‘Amr said,
“I heard the Prophet say,
‘Dhu’l-Suwayqatayn from Abyssinia will destroy the Ka’bah and steal its treasure and Kiswah (cloth covering). It is as if I could see him now: he is bald-headed and has a distortion in his wrists. He will strike the Ka’bah with his spade and pick-ax.'”
(Ahmad, Musnad, 2/220)
In case anyone didn't know, Abyssinia is Ethiopia.

Well, "Dhu'l-Suwayqatayn" isn't an actual name, it's just a description, literally meaning "the one with two thin, weak legs".
