The Signs of the Hour
0:11
The signs of the Hour are the portents of the Day of Judgment that precede it and indicate its proximity.
0:17
They are of two types:
0:19
First, the minor signs.
0:22
These are the ones that precede the Hour by long periods of time.
0:26
And they are of a kind that is usual for people.
0:29
Such as the withdrawal of knowledge and the spread of ignorance.
0:31
And the boasting in building construction.
0:33
Some of these signs have already appeared and passed.
0:37
And some have appeared.
0:39
And they continue to follow one another and recur.
0:41
Such as the boasting in building construction.
0:43
And some have not yet appeared.
0:46
Second,
0:49
The major signs.
0:51
These are the momentous events that appear near the Day of Judgment.
0:55
And they are unusual for people.
0:58
And they are the ten signs mentioned in the hadith of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
1:03
Regarding the coming of the Hour.
1:05
And in it:
1:06
"It will not come to pass,
1:08
until you see ten signs before it."
1:11
So he mentioned the smoke,
1:12
and the Dajjal (Antichrist),
1:13
and the Beast,
1:15
and the rising of the sun from its west,
1:17
and the descent of 'Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary),
1:19
and Gog and Magog,
1:21
and three landslides:
1:23
a landslide in the east,
1:25
and a landslide in the west,
1:27
and a landslide in the Arabian Peninsula.
1:30
And the last of that is a fire that will emerge from Yemen,
1:33
driving people to their place of gathering.
1:36
Narrated by Muslim.
1:38
Some scholars add the Mahdi to these signs.
1:42
And some consider them among the minor signs that accompany the major signs.
1:48
The clearest order for these ten signs
1:52
is the appearance of the Dajjal,
1:54
then the descent of 'Isa ibn Maryam, peace be upon him,
1:57
then the emergence of Gog and Magog,
2:00
then the three landslides,
2:02
then the smoke,
2:04
then the rising of the sun from its west,
2:06
then the Beast,
2:08
then the fire that will gather people.
