Great events in the life of Muhammad (peace be upon him) V

Prophethood shall last among you as long as Allah (the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) wishes. And then, Allah will take it away.
Then, the Muslims will be lead by rulers, khalifah who will follow the path of the Prophet directly. And then Allah (the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) shall take it away.
Khilafa ‘ala minhaajin nubuwwa
Then, after that will come Kingdoms that will last long periods of time- Umayyads, Abbasids, Uthmani. It would last among you as long as Allah (The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) wishes. Then Allah (the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) shall take it away.
Then will come leaders that will rule by force, dictatorship. We see that today.
Thumma khilafatan ‘ala minhaajin nubuwwa
Then, shall be followed by a rule that will be on the path of the Prophet.
