The questioner:
Abu Isa from Dammam, may Allah reward you. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. I thank you for this good program, and I thank all the callers, and Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah give you well, the righteous one, may Allah give you well. Your voice, Abu Isa. Good news. The first question, may you live long: There is a lot of talk about the signs of the Hour and its indicators, according to what is authentic from our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It would be good if you could mention to us five of the signs of the Hour, both the minor and the major, as they came in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The second question, may Allah give you well-being: What is the virtue of supplication to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He? I mean, what is the virtue of supplication, and what are the times of acceptance? And the final question, may you live long, may Allah give you well-being: We hear a lot these days about our brothers in Syria and elsewhere, so I call upon Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to relieve their distress and hardship. May Allah reward you with all good. Good, may Allah reward you with good. He is asking about some of the signs of the Hour, may Allah preserve you?
The Shaykh:
The signs of the Hour are its indicators that point to its near occurrence.[Muhammad 47:18] That is, its signs. The signs of the Hour are numerous; some of them have already occurred and ended, and some are yet to come. May Allah grant us assistance, and it is near.
Among them is the emergence of the Dajjal (the false messiah) and the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) that accompanies him. Among them is the descent of Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him), who will kill the Dajjal and relieve the Muslims of his evil, and he will rule by the Shari'ah, the Shari'ah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Among them is the emergence of Ya'juj and Ma'juj, who will pour out from every height, causing distress and hardship for the Muslims. Then Allah will destroy them and relieve the Muslims of their evil, as came in the hadith. And among them is the rising of the sun from the west; the rising of the sun from the west is one of the greatest signs of the Hour. Yes.

The Shaykh:
The signs of the Hour are its indicators that point to its near occurrence.
Then do they await except that the Hour should come upon them unexpectedly? But already there have come [some of] its indications
فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا السَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً فَقَدْ جَاءَ أَشْرَاطُهَاAmong them is the emergence of the Dajjal (the false messiah) and the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) that accompanies him.
