Discussion of the rising of the sun from the west, which is one of the signs of the Hour.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The rising of the sun from the west is mentioned in the Noble Qur'an, as is well known. It will rise from the west on that day, when [Al-An'am 6:158] This undoubtedly requires a great deal of faith, especially among people who study modern science, astronomy, and the like, and who, except for those whom Allah wills, are predominantly attached to systems and the laws they call cosmic or natural laws. Then they forget, and some deny, the One who established them and organized them with this wonderful organization. So, the rising of the sun from the west means overturning the system of this universe, without a doubt. This overturning is not compatible with belief in it except for a few. Every believer who believes in his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, and that He is effective in what He wills and what He desires, and creates as He wills and as He desires, as He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Qasas 28:68] In fact, the rising of the sun from the west is like changing the system of this universe from its root, as mentioned in many noble verses: [At-Takwir 81:1] .
'Abbas 'Id:[At-Takwir 81:2]
The Shaykh :[At-Takwir 81:2] [At-Takwir 81:3] All of this is an indication that this universe, organized in this manner, will be dealt with by the Lord of the Worlds in a way that changes in this universe whatever He wills of change, as He said: [Ibrahim 14:48] So, among the earliest indications of this radical change is the rising of the sun from the west. The One who causes it to rise from the east every day is not incapable of Allah, the Exalted, causing it to rise from the west, as a sign that this worldly life has ended. Therefore, the previous description came that the day the sun rises [Al-An'am 6:158] This is the first of the conditions of the Hour, which scholars have agreed to call the major signs of the Hour. The Messenger, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, says here: The first of them is the rising of the sun from the west. This is because the matter at that time is serious. The sinful Muslim, if he does not repent before its rising, his repentance will not benefit him. The disbeliever, if he does not repent from his disbelief, his repentance will not benefit him. And so on. So here, it is obligatory to hasten to repent from evil deeds, and even more so, the disbelievers and hypocrites should hasten to return to their Lord and believe in their Islam.

no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it had not believed before
لا ينفع نفسا إيمانها لم تكن ءامنت من قبلAnd your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allah and high above what they associate with Him.
وربك يخلق ما يشاء ويختار ما كان لهم الخيرة سبحانه وتعالى عما يشركونWhen the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
