Do the major signs of the Hour come in a specific order?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Do the signs of the Great Hour come in sequence? How will the emergence of Ya'juj and Ma'juj manifest? And do animals sense the occurrence of the Hour before humans and jinn?

Answer : Some of the major signs of the Hour are ordered and known, while others are not ordered and their sequence is not known. Among the things that came in a specific order are the descent of 'Isa ibn Maryam and the emergence of Ya'juj and Ma'juj. The Dajjal will be sent, then 'Isa ibn Maryam will descend and kill him, and then Ya'juj and Ma'juj will emerge. Al-Saffarini (may Allah have mercy on him) arranged these signs in his creed, ordering them in his book of creed. However, some of this order is reassuring to the soul, while some is not. The order is not what concerns us; what matters is that the Hour has signs, meaning great indicators, and if they occur, the Hour will be the nearest thing. Allah has established signs for the Hour because it is a significant event that requires people to be alerted to its nearness. As for his question about whether animals sense this, we do not know. But animals, without a doubt, will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection, gathered, and justice will be done among them; justice will be done for the hornless sheep against the horned sheep.
