Does the one who believes the advertisements that circulate that the Hour will be at such-and-such a time become a disbeliever?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: There are some advertisements circulating among the common people that the Hour will be after such-and-such a time, and they specify its time. Does the one who believes such advertisements become a disbeliever?

Answer:
Yes, this is claiming knowledge of what Allah knows, and knowledge of the Hour specifically. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has not informed anyone of it or revealed it to any of His prophets, neither a near angel nor a sent prophet. No one has knowledge of the Hour, and no one knows when it will occur, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The one who claims to know the time of the Hour is a denier of Allah and His Messenger. Yes.
