The return of polytheism (shirk) to the Arab lands: https://twitter.com/uaeembassyus/status/1247623456398749696
From one of the named trials and tribulations that will occur during the end of times, is the return of polytheism to the Arab lands.
Allāh first purified these lands by sending Muhammad (salAllāhu ‘alayhī wa sallam) to get rid of polytheism (shirk) and to implement monotheism (Tawhīd).
At the end of times, the affair will drastically change. Polytheism will look beautiful to the people, and they will be easily drawn to it. The misguided people will revive the idols and worship them in the name of, “respecting historical artefacts”.
However, the devils of the Jinn (and of mankind), do not stop there. They cease any opportunity to spread misguidance. These same devils will also disguise polytheism into so-called, “inter-faith”, that puts Islām on the same level as other religions.

And 'A'isha (RA) reported:
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The (system) of night and day would not end until the people have taken to the worship of Lat and 'Uzza. [Reference: Sahīh Muslim 2907].

May Allāh strengthen our hearts so that we do not weaken in the face of trials. Ameen.
