The Approach of the Hour and Preparing for It with Righteous Deeds

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Our sister says: Some people say that the Hour has drawn near and that some of its signs have appeared. What is the validity of this statement?

Answer:
Yes, there is no doubt that the Hour is near, and that many of the signs of the Hour have appeared, while others remain. In any case, it is a short time. Allah, Glorified and Exalted, says: May Allah keep you safe, people.
And the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a sign of the nearness of the Hour. Many of its signs have already occurred. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: , meaning its signs that indicate its near occurrence. However, the Muslim must prepare through righteous deeds and must not ask about the time of the Hour or when the Hour will stand, because this is something that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has kept to His own knowledge, and He has not revealed it to any of His creation, neither the angels nor the prophets nor anyone else from His creation. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has kept it to His own knowledge, because there is no benefit for humanity in being informed of it; rather, their benefit lies in preparing through righteous deeds and repenting from evil deeds. Yes.
