Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence! Do the signs of the Hour include minor ones and major ones?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed! The major signs of the Hour that indicate its nearness have not yet come. As for the preceding signs, the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is among the signs of the Hour; because he is the Seal of the Prophets, and this indicates that the matter has drawn near. However, there are major omens that will come near the establishment of the Hour, arriving one after another in succession.
