Kind: captions Language: en [Music] Academy. [Music] Alhamdulillah. another class in Islamic creed level four and we're talking about many different aspects of that we ought to learn and one of which is the signs of the hour even though this is something that can be explained in the subject of the pillar of the belief in the last day we'll talk about it inshall briefly because this is one of the matters of belief because it's about matter of unseen and or the signs of the hour. Uh that means it's mentioned in the Quran or in the Sunnah of the prophetatam that whenever these signs happens that means this is a sign that the day of judgment is getting closer and closer. So this is from revelation and this is part of the belief and when it happens it shows clearly the truthfulness of the message that was revealed to the prophetatam. So these signs of the hour can be something evil or can be something permissible. It doesn't have to be that it's always something condemned you know like you know for example building tall buildings. This is the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that this is one of the signs of the hour you know but does that mean this is a forbidden act? Of course not. uh for the prophetat he said one of the signs of the hour that wealth will be in abundance lots of wealth that by itself is not a sinful act right so this is to show that some of these signs of the hour doesn't mean that it's all evil because some people think that it's all in the evil category some many of them of course they are so when they looked into these texts these and the Quran and the sunnah the prophet that talks about the signs of the hour. They talk about minor signs and major signs. Minor signs that means it's something or signs that does not change the universe versus the major signs where once it happens it happens one after the other and the universe is changing and sun rises from the west and things of that nature. So when it comes to the minor ones you know also they would they when they looked at the hadith of the prophetatam some of these signs already happened some of it it's already happening and some of it did not happen yet and it is also for the people of knowledge for them are the ones to say that it happened or it did happen. It's not for us to interpret the Quran and the hadith of the prophetat wasam according to our own desires as some people they do. Oh, this is the sign of our this is what the hadith of the prophetat wasam said. We have to follow what's in the Quran and in the sunnah of the prophetat and follow the people of knowledge when it comes to these matters and these signs is going to happen no matter what. So there's not much of a great benefit to know whether it happened or not if you're not a person of knowledge unless there is hmma or rulings that comes as a result of that and that's why we are in need of the people of knowledge to understand the dean of Islam. So when we talk first about the minor signs of the hour uh that already happened you have the messengership of the prophetat the first sign of the hour is that the prophetat was sent because he's the final messenger of Allah no more messenger to come and the prophetat he said I will send myself and the hour how close he isam to the hour to the last day is like these two fingers and he pointed with the forefinger and the middle finger that means very close to each other and in the life of humanity on the face of earth 1,400 years or whatever the time between the prophetat was until the day of judgment is nothing compared to the long life of humanity on the face of earth. So this is the first minor sign of the hour. uh also the split of the moon as the as Allahh says in the Quran the hour is coming nearer and the moon has been splitted. So that happened at the time of the prophetatam and uh the death of the prophetat wasam is one of the minor signs as the prophetat he said count six things that happens before the hour and then the prophetat he said and so on my death and then the opening the liber liberation of mdus in Jerusalem and so on. So this is one of the uh signs uh and then as mentioned in the hadith for Makd Jerusalem to be liberated to be under the Muslim rule and this happened in the time of Omar. So this is some of uh the signs of the hour and one of which is which is the fittan and the tribulations becomes apparent and in abundance and lots of killing. And the prophetat was he said the hour is not going to be established till the knowledge has been taken away and the earthquakes will be frequent and the time will become close. You know you feel like a month is like a week and so on and the will become apparent and will be also frequent. What is killing killing also for the wealth to be in abundance and as the prophetat was he said to the extent of which that the killer he doesn't know why he's killing and the one that is being killed he doesn't know why they're being killed because lots of it and this is something that has been happening so it's fitten that it's happened and it continues to happen. Uh, one of which is as the prophetat said following the ways of the nations before imitating the other nations, imitating other people and not being imitating of course the way of the and the way of the prophetat as the prophetat he said. So the prophetat wasam he said the hour is not going to established be established till my umah will take the the path or the ways of the nations before hand span hands with hands span one arm by one arm and they said to the prophetat is like the Persians and the Romans he said and who are the people except them meaning yes this is the case so this is all part of or some of these signs that already happened and continuously happening and these things will take some time you know some of it is even from the time of the companions and it shows also that the duty upon the Muslim to be warned against the evil of what's evil and to stay away from the fittan and the tribulations and to learn what came in the Quran and in the sunnah of the prophet with regards to the fittan and how to deal with it to protect oneself from it and not to lose one's im and one's faith as a result of that. So this is some of it and we'll continue inshalla with more of these minor signs of the hour next time inshallahham. [Music] for me to [Music]
