A Summary of the Concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:11,890
The Signs of the Hour

3
00:00:11,890 --> 00:00:17,890
The signs of the Hour are the portents of the Day of Judgment that precede it and indicate its proximity.

4
00:00:17,890 --> 00:00:19,890
They are of two types:

5
00:00:19,890 --> 00:00:22,890
First, the minor signs.

6
00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:26,890
These are the ones that precede the Hour by long periods of time.

7
00:00:26,890 --> 00:00:29,890
And they are of a kind that is usual for people.

8
00:00:29,890 --> 00:00:31,890
Such as the withdrawal of knowledge and the spread of ignorance.

9
00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:33,890
And the boasting in building construction.

10
00:00:33,890 --> 00:00:37,890
Some of these signs have already appeared and passed.

11
00:00:37,890 --> 00:00:39,890
And some have appeared.

12
00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:41,890
And they continue to follow one another and recur.

13
00:00:41,890 --> 00:00:43,890
Such as the boasting in building construction.

14
00:00:43,890 --> 00:00:46,890
And some have not yet appeared.

15
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:49,210
Second,

16
00:00:49,210 --> 00:00:51,210
The major signs.

17
00:00:51,210 --> 00:00:55,210
These are the momentous events that appear near the Day of Judgment.

18
00:00:55,210 --> 00:00:58,210
And they are unusual for people.

19
00:00:58,210 --> 00:01:03,210
And they are the ten signs mentioned in the hadith of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

20
00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:05,209
Regarding the coming of the Hour.

21
00:01:05,209 --> 00:01:06,209
And in it:

22
00:01:06,209 --> 00:01:08,209
"It will not come to pass,

23
00:01:08,209 --> 00:01:11,209
until you see ten signs before it."

24
00:01:11,209 --> 00:01:12,209
So he mentioned the smoke,

25
00:01:12,209 --> 00:01:13,209
and the Dajjal (Antichrist),

26
00:01:13,209 --> 00:01:15,209
and the Beast,

27
00:01:15,209 --> 00:01:17,209
and the rising of the sun from its west,

28
00:01:17,209 --> 00:01:19,209
and the descent of 'Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary),

29
00:01:19,209 --> 00:01:21,209
and Gog and Magog,

30
00:01:21,209 --> 00:01:23,209
and three landslides:

31
00:01:23,209 --> 00:01:25,209
a landslide in the east,

32
00:01:25,209 --> 00:01:27,209
and a landslide in the west,

33
00:01:27,209 --> 00:01:30,209
and a landslide in the Arabian Peninsula.

34
00:01:30,209 --> 00:01:33,209
And the last of that is a fire that will emerge from Yemen,

35
00:01:33,209 --> 00:01:36,209
driving people to their place of gathering.

36
00:01:36,209 --> 00:01:38,209
Narrated by Muslim.

37
00:01:38,209 --> 00:01:42,209
Some scholars add the Mahdi to these signs.

38
00:01:42,209 --> 00:01:48,209
And some consider them among the minor signs that accompany the major signs.

39
00:01:48,209 --> 00:01:52,340
The clearest order for these ten signs

40
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:54,340
is the appearance of the Dajjal,

41
00:01:54,340 --> 00:01:57,340
then the descent of 'Isa ibn Maryam, peace be upon him,

42
00:01:57,340 --> 00:02:00,340
then the emergence of Gog and Magog,

43
00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:02,340
then the three landslides,

44
00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:04,340
then the smoke,

45
00:02:04,340 --> 00:02:06,340
then the rising of the sun from its west,

46
00:02:06,340 --> 00:02:08,340
then the Beast,

47
00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:11,340
then the fire that will gather people.
