Linking Events to the Signs of the Hour
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some people link the events that are happening to the signs of the Hour. Is there a connection between them?
Answer:
The Hour is part of the unseen knowledge that no one knows except Allah. No one knows the coming of the Hour except Allah; no close angel knows it, and no sent prophet knows it. We do not know it except through the signs and the indications that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned. As for us bringing up something and saying, “This is one of the signs of the Hour,” when there is no evidence for it, that is not permissible. Yes.
