The Major Sign Thats Already Happened Signs of the Hour Ep 2 Dr Omar Suleiman

So, last week we put forth framework of how to prepare, how the Prophet would generally say to someone who would ask him how to prepare for the Day of Judgment, for the hour with practical tips and something that was consistent with the way that we view our deen. And had gotten to the part of categorizing minor signs versus major signs. And to be honest, rushed through that part because was delaying significantly and was afraid that one of the might make my Day of Judgment come quicker if delayed it any further than already did. And so, want to actually recap it and fill in some of the blanks and then we'll continue to the signs that happened during the life of the Prophet. Okay, signs that happened during the life of the Prophet. So, first and foremost, when we talk about categorizing the signs, some of the they categorize them as follows. They said there are the signs of evil and those are the most instructive ones from behavioral perspective. Then there are historical signposts as lot that are warning. They're warning of something to come. Then there are historical signposts that affirm Iman. Like you see it and we'll talk about that some of those signposts for ourselves that you see them and you say the Prophet has told the truth. Then you have bushra glad tidings. When the Prophet gives glad tidings of something that is to come and then finally you have some signs that are moments meaning they occur one time and some signs that are regular occurrences. So, basically moment versus trend. Something that's trend and the trend is getting worse, it intensifies or it gets less. Or you know, it's something that just happens one time and the will categorize that. They'll say what the Prophet said will happen here, happened here and we move on. Now, when you talk about the minor signs versus the major signs now, categorizing the minor signs versus the major signs. One thing about the minor signs as well is that they can be past, present or future. Past, present or future. Whereas the major signs are only in the future. Okay? Now, you'll notice that the Prophet when he speaks about the major signs and this is why it's so important for us to be prepared. Like so many people are saying, "Well, this hasn't happened yet and this hasn't happened yet. So, this major sign has not occurred yet. We still have time till the Day of Judgment." Right? Similar to how we approach death. We still have time because don't see any of the major signs. Anyone has that they can hand me? Does anyone have They're going to say that people in Valley Ranch don't do Can can here bring me the Come here. Masha Allah. That's nice Masha Allah. This young is doing throughout my lecture. The Prophet he said that the major signs are 10 and they're like the beads on string. Imagine if you cut the string, how quickly the beads will fall. May Allah may Allah protect us. That's how quick it happens. Right? So, you're talking about it one day like something impossible, cut then all 10 fall very quickly. May Allah protect us. So, the the major signs of the Day of Judgment are like this. You can get your back home. The major signs are like this. The minor signs can appear centuries apart hundreds of years apart. Is that okay? And they can occur more than once in different manifestations. Okay? One of the distinctions the also mentioned is that minor signs can affect small group of people or they can affect region whereas major signs affect everyone. So, it might be that this minor sign is seen in particular country or region, but major sign will happen to everybody and have much broader impact in that sense. And as we said that as far as the hour itself is concerned many of the minor signs have already happened and they will continue to happen. Once the major signs happen, it's sign of the imminence of the Day of Judgment. He divided the signs into four categories. So, I'm giving you just various ways of categorizing the signs before go into the way that I'm going to for the rest of the series. He divided them into minor signs which have come and gone. And then he the second category was minor signs that have happened, but they're still happening or they might be repeated again. So again, the first category was minor signs that have already come and gone. The second category was minor signs that have happened, but they still continue or they might come back. And then the third one are minor signs that have not yet happened. And it's actually very scary that as I'm doing more and more research, there aren't many more of those left. Truly, there really are not many more of those minor signs left. It's actually incredibly eye-opening when you start to realize how few fall into that category of number three and then fourth is major signs. As we said, we're going to connect every sign to behaviors and we're going to make this series practical whether it's minor sign or major signs. And as also said that minor signs for your behavior sometimes are even more important to study than major signs. So, I'm not going to rush in this series. Why did say that? Does anyone remember? Cuz minor signs tend to entail more of your participation. Major signs happen. Minor signs involve much more of your behavior and your participation as an and as humanity. And just like how minor sins can become major sins if you neglect them, right? Belittling sins, minor sins become major sins with with insisting upon those sins. You could fall in minor sin minor sign way before the major sign comes. And you already would have canceled that part of you. And so, let me let me give you an example here. The Dajjal He has Dajjals that precede him. If you can't deal with the Dajjala, the deception before Dajjal, how are you going to deal with the Dajjal? If nature changing, if you can't deal with nature changing now, how are you going to deal with nature collapsing, literally collapsing all around you. And so, you look at these minor sins and you'll notice that they connect to major sin. In fact, every major sign is minor sign magnified. Every single one of them and when we get to the major signs, we'll show how there's collection of signs that represented the coming of that major sign of the Day of Judgment, but as we said, minor signs tend to be ordinary, major signs tend to be extraordinary. Now, do major signs have behavioral component? Yes. And I'm going to speak about one very specific way. You know what it is? It's waiting for the ultimate hero and the ultimate villain. It's the waiting game. And when you hear the word Mahdi you know, you look through the early generations and they did not use the term the awaited Mahdi. It's not The awaited Mahdi because no one was waiting for him. In the sense that we believe in him and we believe that he will come that that he will come that not that he'll come back that he will come that he will be born into this world, but ultimately what is he? He's that. He's reviver and you're not waiting for that you're trying to be reviver yourself. Right? So, the implication is that you try to be the right now, not wait for the ultimate in the Mahdi. Likewise, he is the ultimate Right? He comes back and he rectifies the situation. But you're not waiting for to do to rectify your society around you. and revival and rectification are imperatives for every generation of this and every generation of my has has forerunners. So, you try to be amongst the forerunners of your generation. You're not waiting for this ultimate clash of people to come later on. Try to be like those people. And lastly, I'll say in this regard that the caliber of the followers of were compared to who by the Prophet? Does anyone know? Prophet compared the caliber of those who will follow to the If want to be included amongst those people then need to act like those people. need to embody their traits. This is not something that just happens overnight. So, how can you expect to be follower of Isa when he comes if you're not follower of Muhammad Alihi Wasallam now. How do you expect to be follower of the Mahdi and not be source of Hidayah right now to the world that's around you and be someone that brings that guidance to the world that's around you. So this is like the inverse of the claim kuntum to hibbun Allah bi uni kum Allah. Say that if you truly love Allah, follow me. Follow Muhammad Alihi Wasallam and Allah will love you back. Now, I'll say two more things on implication. What I'll say here is warning about misinterpretation of the signs of the day of judgement. In this series, am not going to be doing any revisionism of the tradition. I'm not going to tell you actually this sign means this and actually by the way this sign appeared here and actually lot of scholars thought this means this but they all got it wrong and it means this. You're not going to hear any of that in this series and I'll tell you why. There is deviation that exists in every one of the pillars of Iman. Remember the Hadith of Jibril Islam and that deviation in every one of the pillars of Iman is almost always us trying to impose human conception on one of the pillars of faith which are unseen. And so how do you do deviation in regards to believe in Allah Azza Wajjal? You assign God-like qualities to human beings or you literally try to physically fashion God or you you you call upon someone or you worship someone the way that you should worship Allah Azza Wajjal. So you give more weight to creatures right, creation than the creator himself. How do you do deviation regards to the angels? Well, Allah Azza Wajjal mentions very specific one which was you know referring to Iblis and referring to fallen angels and concepts that are very disruptive and can lead person down the path of misguidance that even angels were made to be creatures that are the opposite of they do not disobey what Allah Azza Wajjal commanded them. How do you have deviation in in the books of Allah Azza Wajjal? You twist text so that you can permission give in some regard. How do you do deviation in in the prophets and messengers? You claim prophet after the prophet Alihi Wasallam. Or you take away from the infallibility of the prophets the Ismah of the Anbiya. You put others above them or you put them down to your level as someone who is not prophet of Allah. How do you do deviation in regards to and Qadar? Divine decree. don't understand why Allah is allowing this to happen therefore don't believe in you know Allah's being able to decree what comes next. believe in absolute free will or believe in absolute Jabbar Allah forcing us into our ways of because can't see it. don't understand how Allah would let this happen otherwise or have no agency whatsoever. How do you do deviation in Akhir? The belief in the last day. You try to project your own judgement into who should go to Jannah and who should go to Jahannam. think this person should be in Jannah. think this person should be in Jahannam. And then finally, how do you do deviation in regards to these signs? You start to impose definitive meanings on them that are unfounded and baseless cuz you can't understand them. don't get how it's possible that the Dajjal could be somewhere and the satellites haven't got him yet. You know when taught this class mentioned taught class in Sharon, Massachusetts over decade ago. And there was an uncle and Sadaqa. He was truthful. He said, you know who who do you think runs the satellites anyway? He was like even if it was there don't think we can you know if the Dajjal was here, where would he be? You know and there's no way because we would have been able to find him on Google Maps. Masha Allah. He puts your Yakeen in Google Maps. Right? So I've got to give some other interpretation therefore the Dajjal is this. Now it used to be one eye now they put three eyes on it now, right? This is the Dajjal. There's Dajjala for sure but don't get these signs so I'm going to impose cuz it's not agreeing with my with my logic so I'm going to impose some sort of revisionist understanding of these signs so that can feel better about them. And can say this makes so much more sense. Your job dear brothers and sisters is to believe in these signs and to focus on your behavior. Believe in these signs, focus on your behavior. So whether the sign is exactly literal or something will happen that will make you think this is what the prophet meant. Still there is moral component and something you can take from it Allah Ta'ala and you are to simply say Amant. Amant to Allah. believe and trust in Allah Ta'ala. Another thing that I'll say and this is the last thing inshallah and we'll move on is one of the core difference between us as Muslims and these crazy Zionists and people that get deep into eschatology and are trying to make the day of judgement happen is that we do not believe as Muslims that we can speed up the So this idea of trying to make it happen by creating the perfect circumstances like you can get together and you can say hey your name is Muhammad ibn Abdullah. You look like you could pass for Mahdi. Let's make this happen. It's not going to happen. Just like we said Qiyam does cannot be sped up or slowed down except when Allah decrees it. Likewise these things happen on Allah's time. We don't make signs happen. However, we read ourselves into these signs and into the continuum of human history and we ask Allah to put us on the good side of all of those signs and amongst those that are part of Bushra, part of the glad tidings and not part of the warnings in this regard. Okay? So with all that being said we come to the first set of signs which we will start with tonight Allah Ta'ala which are things that happened in the life of the prophet the signs that preceded his death because we said that the first sign is when he came he said that and the day of judgement and the hour will shout like this. He was the scout Islam the warner. One of the meanings of the word prophet Nabi is to prophesize. Is to predict. Is to tell you what is going to happen. And for anyone that would like to read small section from the book what we saw Rasul what we saw by Sheikh Ashqar just has the definition of Nabi versus Rasul but I'll give you the summary. The word Nabi is derived from the word Naba which is news. Amma tasalun. Anin naba il alim. What are they asking about? The great news. This is actually incredible when you think about like embedded in his title is this core description that he gave us the news of the hour. Right? Part of it is to warn us about the hour and then to tell us about its signs and then to tell us how to prepare. And it's actually so beautiful that Allah says as well Qalat man hadha. Said who taught you this? Qala anni alimul Khabir. He said that the one who taught me is the all-knowing and the all-aware. Meaning what? That am called Nabi, prophet because am sharing with you knowledge that is shared to me by the all-knowing and all-aware. So this is knowledge that's impossible for you to have. my dear father, some knowledge has come to me that has not come to you. And so part of being Nabi is that you Allah tells you and he is the all-knowing only he knows these things. Things that human beings otherwise cannot know at all. Okay? The word is also derived from the word Nebwa which in the Arabic language is raised portion of land. And that's why when you read in in Jahili poetry they would actually use the word Nabi to refer to landmark. Okay? Because it's raised portion of land whether it's structure or some sort of signpost that tells you that you have arrived here. And so one of the implications is that the prophets are of an elevated status. Right? In this life We chose him in this life and in the hereafter he's from the righteous as well. They are elevated in this life and they are elevated in the next. They are shining examples for you to follow if you want to have an elevated character and have an elevated position in the hereafter. But let's get to the word Nabi in particular giving Naba, giving the news of the hour to come. It was the first thing the prophet did on Safa and then all of the implications of that. The prophet prophesize and his greatest prophecy is the day of judgement to come. Now I'm going to systematically unveil or let's try to unravel the accusations they made against the prophet and want you to again imagine you lived in Mecca society now. We put you last year in 550. Now you're in 615. Okay? The very first thing they tried to say about the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was what? He came down from the mountain. He seemed perfectly normal before he went there. He was the most agreeable person, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. He had everything set for him. And now all of sudden he's talking about this this not What do you think the first thing they're going to call him is? need you guys to engage now. What is it? No. Before that? Majnun. Majnun, he lost his mind. He's gone crazy. And so the very first accusation they make against the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is Majnun. But then you'll see like from Tufail ibn Amr al-Dawsi and others that are interacting with them they're like he doesn't look like someone who's lost his mind. He clearly still has his full senses Alaihi Salat Wasallam. He's not like speaking in any delirious way. He still has perfect articulation, perfect grasp on reality. In fact, he has depth. He doesn't have the signs of anyone that's crazy at all, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. His character has not been compromised. He's not acting in any way that's out of place. So this seems like basically scapegoat so that we don't have to deal with the content of the naba of what he's bringing. So you're trying to make an accusation about the way he's talking cuz it's unfamiliar to you and you want to quickly delegitimize him. So they said Majnun. They said rather he's sha'ir. He's poet. But then that was debunked and nothing debunks the accusation that he was poet more than the poets themselves saying that what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has is unlike anything that we've ever heard. We know poetry. They're society of shu'ara. We know poetry and the Quran is not poetry. This is far superior to anything that we have ever been able to produce. And so that was thrown out the window. Okay? And the Quran is consistent refutation of that idea that he was sha'ir, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, that he was poet. That this man who was known to be ummi, illiterate, went from being illiterate to suddenly producing something that was so masterful that the most masterful poets could not produce verse that was like it. So that gets refuted. Now here's where we break down two accusations against the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and want you to pay very close attention. There are two more that are left. Can anyone name them? Sahir. Sahir means what? magician. And what's the other one? Kahin. soothsayer. All right? Both of these affect the content of the signs of the Day of Judgment. How do we break it down? Again, you live in that society. Sihr, magic, means someone performs something in front of you. It's present. It's halal, right? It's right in front of you, but it's not real. Right? So do something in front of you and I'm I'm I'm portraying things in front of you, but they're not real signs. That's sihr. And usually someone would say sihr if can't believe what I'm seeing right now. Right? So I'm just going to claim this is magic. And so that was one way they tried to attack the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and that affects set of ayat, of signs. So signs that are physical, that are seen, and that are present. You understand? Physical, seen, and present. They're in the moment. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam does things in front of them and they say nope, that this is sihr. Innahu la sihr. No way. Our eyes have been deceived. You're doing something, but this is not real. Kahin. Kahin, soothsayer, means someone who tells you things about the future. Right? They're predictions. hear, but doubt. don't think this is true or it's half-truth or they're making some sort of guess or prediction about the future. But subhanallah in every society you have these people. It's unbelievable. I'm from New Orleans. We had voodoo. All right? But everywhere you go, you've got someone that's trying to tell you the future. Right? And by the way, that's why the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam warned about someone that even asks for consult someone who claims to tell you the future because that would fundamentally replace the concept of prophethood in your life. So Muslims like what's the big deal? It's horoscope. What's the big deal? I'm just going to this person who's just telling me something here. It is big deal. It fundamentally reshapes how you see the future. When you try to assume the driver seat of predictions and prophesizing and talking about the future. So yes, be careful, Muslims. I'm serious. Be very careful of in any way abdicating that. Giving that to someone other than the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, other than what has come to you from the Quran and from the Sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. It's very tempting because we all want to know the future. Mata nasrullah? When's the help of Allah coming? What do you think is going to happen tomorrow? prediction on the market, prediction on this, prediction on my life. want to know when this is all going to happen. When's my dua going to be answered? So we look for anything we can grasp at and that is in and of itself one of the greatest signs of weakness of faith. That's serious loss of iman and tawakkul. Cuz you either trust the one who's speaking or you have some trust in what's being said. So don't give that to anyone else. So sahir, the accusation of sahir was the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, what he's doing physically and in the moment, don't believe what I'm seeing. What he's saying, kahin, what he's saying will come to happen in the future, don't believe what I'm hearing. don't think he's actually accurately predicting the future. So Allah Azza wa Jalla gave him set of ayat and ashrat, signs in both of those categories that systematically undid those claims against the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And so we start with as-sahhir, the concept of sihr, that was leveled at the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Now the Sahaba were used to seeing miracles from the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam all the time. They are mutawatir. Meaning narrated from too many people, the same miracle narrated from too many people, from too many different perspectives, that all line up to themes. And so the miracle of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to put his hand on water and to run that water through his fingers and what is in small container to run for hundreds and hundreds of people. Many of the Sahaba saw that. The miracle of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to take little bit of food and through the blessing of Allah Azza wa Jalla for that to become plentiful food. What could feed one person feeding hundreds of people. It happened multiple times with the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. The nature that was interacting with him Alaihi Salat Wasallam. The tree that extends itself for him to shade him Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Or the tree that he used to be next to when he would give khutbah, crying. Crying. Subhanallah, making the sounds of human being crying, like human crying when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam went and erected minbar away from that tree. The way that nature interacted with him Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in way that other people could see. These are things that the Sahaba witnessed in tawatur. whole bunch of them. Miracles and people. The miracle of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam describing something that was happening in the moment, but he was not there. Just imagine. He stands up on the minbar and he starts giving play-by-play of what's happening in the Battle of Mu'tah, thousands of miles away. And he's telling you exactly what's happening in the moment. He's saying Zaid has the banner. Zaid was just martyred. Ja'far has just picked up the banner. Ja'far was just martyred. Abdullah ibn Rawahah has just picked up the banner. Abdullah ibn Rawahah was just martyred. Khalid has just picked up the banner. Wa huwa saifun min suyufillah, he's sword from the swords of Allah. He's narrating in real time, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. When they come back from Mu'tah, it's exactly as the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, happening in the moment. Or when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam went on the night of Isra wal Miraj and one of the ways that he it was proven from the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is that he narrated things that happened between Mecca and Jerusalem, Al-Quds. May Allah Azza wa Jalla liberate it and make it make us from its liberators. Allahumma ameen. He narrated things that happened on the way that he could not have lied about, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And so the Meccans would try to verify by saying did this happen on that night? Because the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said this happened on that night and this happened on that night and this happened on that night. Or the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam narrating the secret intentions or secret conversations that people were having. Someone that hid something in their home. Or someone that had bad intention with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam that they that they spoke to one person about or they never spoke at all and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam saying know what's on your mind right now. know exactly what you have come to do. These are all things that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has has done and that speaks to the unraveling of the claim that he was sahir, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, that he was magician. Now, almost all of the signs of the Day of Judgment fall in the second category, which is refuting the idea he was kahin, soothsayer, fortune teller. Right? Because almost all the signs of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam are things he said would happen and they either happen in his lifetime later or in the time of the Sahaba after him, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, or they continue to happen until today. So the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam speaking about things that will come to be. However, when it comes to the first category, one of the most significant minor signs of the Day of Judgment happened in the lifetime of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam with the companions, and that was the splitting of the moon. The splitting of the moon. And so, Allah Azza wa Jal says, "Iqtarabat al-sa'ah wa inshaq al-qamar." That verily the hour has drawn near, and the moon has split. The moon splitting in front of the Meccans was basically like their sun rising from the west moment. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam tells us that there would come time that the sun would rise from the west, and at that point the door of tawbah is closed. It's too definitive. It's too definitive to be denied at that point, and it comes with consequence as well. And so, what is the story of this particular sign of the Day of Judgment? Allah Azza wa Jal says, "The hour has come near, and the moon has split into two." And Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala says, "Wa in yaraw ayatan yu'ridu wa yaqulu sihrun mustamir." And every time they see sign, they turn away, and they say that this is magic that's just going to pass. Right? And Allah Azza wa Jal says, that describing their intentions, "Wa kadhabu wa tabe'u ahwa'ahum wa kullu amrin mustaqir." Allah Azza wa Jal says, "They denied, and they followed their desires." Their desires thinking. They convinced themselves that whatever the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam shows us, it's sihr. We're not going to believe, no matter what he shows us. Even as they were demanding physical signs from him Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, when he actually showed it to them, they said, "No way. This can't be true." Okay? Because their intention all along was not to do ittiba' al-huda. "Faman tabe'a hudaya not to follow the guidance of Allah, but to follow their desires instead. And this sign that would be given to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was so undeniable, and you know, many of the ulama who write in dalail al-nubuwwah and the proofs of prophethood said, "If you look at most of the signs of the prophets, they involve interpersonal relationships, things that happen amongst people." But even if you look at Ibrahim Alaihi Wasallam, when Ibrahim Alaihi Wasallam met Nimrud, "Qala rabbi alladhi yuhyi wa yumit." "Qala ana uhyi wa umit." He said, "My Lord gives life and death." Nimrud said, give life and death." What did he respond? Nimrud said, "Watch this." He brought someone that was sentenced to death. He said, "You go free. You have life. give life." And then he brought another guy who was completely innocent, and he sentenced him to death. He said, "See? give life. give death." Ibrahim said, "Fa inna Allaha ya'ti bi al-shamsi min al-mashriqi fa'ti biha min al-maghrib." Okay. Go ahead and try to control natural phenomena. Control the sun if you can. Bring the sun from the opposite direction. "Fabuhita alladhi kafara." And Allah Azza wa Jal completely shamed him, and left him baffled in that regard. So, this is powerful sign from the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and it represents turning point of the signs of the Day of Judgment as well. If you go to Al-Bukhari, it's called bab inshiqaq al-qamar. Bab inshiqaq al-qamar. The chapter of the splitting of the moon. Anas ibn Malik radiyallahu ta'ala anhu says that ahl Makkah, the people of Makkah, "Sa'alu Rasul Allahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam an yuriya hum ayah." They said, "Listen. The book, we get it. You're not crazy. Show us something. Show us sign that we can see with our eyes. Right? The Quran is impressive. We want to see something." So, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, "Fa'arahum al-qamar shaqqatain hatta ra'aw Hira'an baynahuma." The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam pointed to the moon, and it split into two, and Jabal Hira' was right in the middle of the two halves of the moon. Subhanallah, it's actually deeply poetic when you think like Hira' is where Allah Azza wa Jal spoke to the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam for the first time. And if any of you have seen Hira', Jabal al-Nur, it's actually very distinctive mountain. It looks very different from all of the mountains around it. Right? And it has like that extra tip, if you're looking at it, on top of it. So, want you to imagine that you are in Makkah. You're from al-mustad'afeen, you're from the few believers. This is early on in Makkah. Surat al-Qamar. Or, you're from the disbelievers that are mocking, and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam points to the moon, and it splits in half. One half goes beyond the mountain of Hira', the other one stays ahead. Everyone was completely silenced. Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "Ishhadu." Bear witness. Bear witness. "Ishhadu." Then it came back together. What did they say? They said that he did something to our eyes. He cast some sort of spell on our eyes. So, they said, "We're going to prove it." How did they prove it? They got on their horses, and they went to the outskirts of Makkah. They said, "Did anybody see the moon split into two?" And everyone said, "Yeah, actually we did." Right? People that were not involved in the hujjah, the proof that was being established against the people. So, they confirmed as well what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had said. Again, this is mutawatir hadith, meaning there are multiple Sahaba that narrated the exact same incident of having witnessed the moon split with their own eyes. So, immediately when they saw it, and then they sent the riders out, and it was confirmed by those that were on the outskirts of Makkah as well, they simply said, "Sihrun mustamir." They said, "He's just gotten really good at his magic now. We have to be careful, and we have to up our game because he's getting better at causing all of our eyes to be led astray and to see things that we were not seeing." Now, let me tell you what's an unhelpful way to deal with this. Someone might say, "Well, why didn't other people see it?" And here is the rabbit hole that you might go down. All right? Some of you are going to argue with me after salah, and it's okay. I'm just going to say jazakallahu khairan. I'm telling you right now. Some of you will go down the rabbit hole of NASA and geologists and people that actually talk about the ridge on the moon and having, you know, that there's evidence of the moon splitting in half at some point in history. Some of you will go down that rabbit hole. Some of you will go down looking at the history of India, and where where is documentation around the same time of king that saw the moon or or says that he saw the moon split into two. Okay? You can go down these rabbit holes, and you should not need any of that to believe in this, and to say the Quran documents it as miracle, and I'm that's enough for me. Similar to Abu Bakr radiyallahu ta'ala anhu, did Abu Bakr say, "Well, let me ask the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam how the turbulence was because I've heard that when you get up into higher gravities in Isra' and Mi'raj?" He said, "No, no. believe the Quran came to him, that Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the earth, speaks to him Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. That's enough for me." "Aman tu billah." And so, I'm not saying that it's not okay to read these documents, and to, you know, even look towards, you know, rigorous verification. I'm saying, don't hinge, you know, don't don't make your faith attached to this that it has to be validated through one of these accounts. And of course, it's important to say that supernatural event does not necessarily have to have natural impact. This is supernatural event. People experience moon sighting in different parts of the world in different ways. Some people see an eclipse, some don't. The moon looks different to different people. This was ultimately hujjah, sign for the people of Makkah at that time as they demanded sign from the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Okay? So, let's keep it to that, in sha Allah ta'ala, for the sake of what we are trying to do here. If you If this gives you problems in your faith, we need to go back to basics. This is not the class. Now, this miracle, the nature of this miracle, there's another hadith, and it's an authentic hadith, that Abdullah ibn Abbas radiyallahu ta'ala anhuma narrates that Quraysh said to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, "Ud'u lana rabbaka yaj'al lana al-Safa dhahaba." Tell your Lord to turn Safa, Mount Safa, into gold. So, this was nice. It was impressive, but we're not convinced yet. So, can you go ahead and turn Safa into gold? "Fa in asbaha dhahaban tabe'nak." If Safa becomes gold, we'll follow you. Now, you think they were being sincere? No, they would have gone and taken the gold, and they would have said sihr while using that gold, storing it in their houses, and benefiting from it. They're insincere. They're trying to make mockery of the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and again, being evasive. "Fada'a rabbahu." So, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he made du'a to Allah Azza wa Jal. "Fa'atahu Jibreel Alaihi Wasallam." Jibreel Alaihi Wasallam came to him, and said to him, "Inna rabbaka yuqri'uka al-salam." "Your Lord sends you salam, ya Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam." "Wa yaqulu laka, in shi'ta If you want, ya Rasulullah, I'll go ahead and I'll turn Safa into gold. But if do that and they still disbelieve, will punish them in way that have not punished any of the nations that came before. The punishment that will come to them will be immediate and severe. That'll be it for the people of Mecca. Halas. Or what in shita Allah said, if you want, I'll leave the door open for them of repentance and mercy. And subhanallah, some of those same people later on in life that mocked the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and made those demands, imagine they were described in the Quran in one way. The same people that Allah described negatively are also described positively in laqad radiyallahu anil mu'minin. Allah is pleased with the believers when they took the bay'ah with you under the tree in Bay'at al-Ridwan or whatever it may be. The They were described with displeasure and they were described with pleasure cuz Allah said, if you want, I'll leave the door open for repentance and mercy. So the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said bal bab al-tawbah wal rahmah. In that case, leave the door of repentance and mercy open for them. Now there's an important lesson here as we go through the signs of the Day of Judgment. The lesson is the following. The more Allah shows you the more dangerous it is if you don't respond. You understand? The more of these signs that unveil themselves the more dangerous your delayed tawbah becomes because it's being made more and more and more evident to you. And that is our state as we see these signs unfolding before our eyes. And this is particular type of hujjah. Hujjatun qati'ah. It's It's clear evidence. And when Allah sends one of these signs it removes all excuses and it forces conclusion and consequence in the moment. Right? And if you look at the prophets before, they had these types of signs where they would be given this last chance. And you either repent now or you don't. Now before Allah destroyed the people of Nuh there were many signs before that ultimate sign. Before Yunus walked away from his people, there were many signs. Before Hud stood, many signs. But this is the one. And these are called, want you to actually document this cuz this is technical term but it's actually powerful term. And subhanallah, was thinking about so many things in regards to Surat al-Baqarah. These are called ayat al-iqtirah. Ayat al-iqtirah. In the Arabic language, that means suggested signs. That means Allah wa ta'ala is requested or they demand sign and they tell Allah this is what we want as sign from you. Not the hidayah, not ayat al-hidayah, the signs that Allah sends as guidance but ayat al-iqtirah, their signs. Allah, we tell you to give us sign. You know it's amazing? The very first surah after al-Fatiha where we're asking Allah for guidance is called what? Al-Baqarah. And it's one of those signs. Allah tells them to sacrifice cow. And they start to get back, ma lawnuha, innaha baqarah tashabaha alay, like they start going through specifications. No, we want this type of cow and tell us about this one and tell us about this one and tell us about this one. Wa ma kadu yaf'alun. And they were never going to actually do it. They were all only saying this to be evasive with their Lord. And that is the type of sign that is the most punishable by Allah wa ta'ala cuz you made the request and Allah gave you what you requested so you better respond now. You made the request, Allah gave you what you requested so you better respond now. I'll read just the section of Imam al-Sa'di ta'ala. He says commenting on the ayah, alladhina la ya'lamun, lawla yukallimuna Allah aw ta'tina ayah. Kadhalika qala alladhina min qablihim mithla qawlihim tashabahat qulubuhum. Qad bayyanna al-ayati liqawmin yuqinun. Allah ta'ala says that those who do not say, they just say to the Prophet, why doesn't Allah just speak to us? Or just show us clear sign. And Allah says those that came before them said the same things, tashabahat qulubuhum. What powerful ayah. Your hearts are just like their hearts. Their hearts are the same. The hearts of those who rejected Musa alaihi salam, who rejected Isa alaihi salam are the same hearts that rejected Muhammad alaihi wasallam, tashabahat qulubuhum. Your hearts are all the same. We already have shown you the ayat, the signs to people who have certainty. So al-Imam al-Sa'di, who is his tafsir is very short but very poetic. He says, qala al-juhhal min ahl al-kitab wa ghayrihim halla yukallimuna kama kallama al-rusul. the the ignorant say, if only Allah would speak to us the way he spoke to the messengers. Ya'nun ayat al-iqtirah, like we want to make the we want to have our demands met. And Allah and he says that they make these, yaqtarahunaha. They make these suggestions, bi uqulihim al-fasidah. Wa ara'ihim al-kasidah. With their corrupted minds and their messed up opinions, like even the signs that they're demanding don't make sense. But they want the signs on their terms. And Allah ta'ala mentions yas'aluka ahl al-kitab an tunazzila alayhim kitabam min al-samai. Faqad sa'alu Musa akbara min dhalik. Like now the people of the book are asking you to give them sign from the heavens, bring them down book from the heavens. The people of Musa asked for something even greater than that. Right? It's not going to change because they weren't asking for guidance, they were demanding proof on their own terms. Al-Qurtubi says, lam yakun qasdhum al-istishad that their intention was not to seek guidance, wal innama ta'annut, but rather it was to be stubborn. They were being evasive and they were being stubborn. What does this have to do with the signs of the Day of Judgment? Right? Because when the Prophet tells you something or if the Prophet shows you something and you look at that and you go don't know if that really happened, metaphorical, can't really grasp it. You know, prove to me that Islam is true beyond what's already there. I'm going to ask Allah to do this and do that. It's the same mindset, tashabahat qulubuhum. The problem is with the heart. Now I'd recommend by the way reading Sheikh Muhammad al-Shanqiti. Hafizullah has the book Proofs of Prophethood. If you go to Yaqeen's website, you can download the book for free. In chapter six, he talks about miracles and he goes into details with the miracles and he talks about people that are skeptical of miracles. Miracle skepticism and psychologically why that is, especially in this time that we live in right now. So what were some of the other signs of the Prophet that were actually signs of the Day of Judgment? Right? Remember, they're predictions. They're things that will come to pass. The most famous one is what? Does anyone know? Like the Prophet Allah descends in the Quran very conclusive, predictive, timed prediction that has historic implications. Ghulibat al-Rum. The fall of Rome. Right? Or rather, Rome coming back to defeat the Persians. Fi adna al-ardhi wa hum min ba'di ghalabihim sayaghlubun fi bid'i sinin. Allah specified that the Romans who are falling apart and who look like it's all over for them, Allah specifies that in three to nine years the Romans will rebound and defeat the Persians. This was gold for Quraish because this is timed prediction. You know how silly people look when they when they you know put their bets on like the Do you remember the what were the predictions of the past? The year 2000 was obviously one of them. 2012 was big one. Right? The people that put their bets and they say, it's going to happen then. Like the churches that hang the signs. And then what happens when it passes? Right? you know, got the calendar wrong, you know, talked to Jesus and he said, actually you know, didn't mean 2012, meant 2042. Like you missed it by 30 years. Like you you know, and it makes sense why you missed it by 30 years but you look silly. Right? No one takes these people seriously anymore. Imagine in that environment, Allah says the two superpowers are at war. The superpower that looks like it's about to collapse, its Persians are deep into their territory. It's the end of the Romans. Allah says, they're going to rebound and win in three to nine years. Right? This was sign of the Day of Judgment. It's called considered one of the signs of the Day of Judgment according to Ibn Mas'ud anhu. And I'll explain why he said that. But you'll notice Allah says, lillahi al-amr min qabl wa min ba'd. To Allah belongs the decision of this matter before and after. And that addresses the cynicism that believer can have about the possibility of major global shifts when they can't see it with their own analysis and their own predictions. It's cynicism. Lillahi al-amr min qabl wa min ba'd. Allah had it before and Allah has it now, and Allah will always have it. Right? On the day the believers will rejoice in the victory of Allah. He says there are four reasons for their rejoicing. One of them is the miracle of prophecy unfolding before their eyes. As believers, when you see the prophet having given you sign and prophesying something that further It it increases your faith upon your faith. Right? Faith upon faith. Right? So, there is joy that the prophecy unfolded before my eyes, and the prophet How do you feel when you see sign of the prophet that's so spot on? So, that's one thing. Right? so, it further validates their belief in prophethood. So, another one is that the Muslims would at that time find themselves celebrating their own victory, which was the Battle of Badr, which was to come. And of course, that would happen in the year 624. So, believers are rejoicing because prophecy is unfolding. sign that the prophet said will happen will happen, and it carries good news for the believers. And Allah says at the end of Surah Rum, What an ayah. What an ayah. So, be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is true. And don't let them who are not certain of faith, those that don't have any yakin, don't let them mess with your own moral and spiritual calculus. So, don't let them mock you into starting to have doubts about how Allah said the world is going to unfold. It will unfold exactly as Allah said that it would unfold. So, that's the second sign that happened in the lifetime of the prophet and his companions and the believers. The third one is what is built on that, which is the prophecy of Badr. Badr was prophesied long before it actually happened. And it's in as well. Surah starts off with the splitting of the moon. The hour is coming, and the moon has split. And Allah says, that their group will be defeated, and they will turn away and be forced to flee. And rather, the hour is the appointed time, and if they think Badr is going to feel bad for them, if they think Badr will be bitter, and mean, these people didn't believe in hereafter. So, when they lost Badr, they lost everything. There's no consolation for them. There's no our dead are in paradise. Our dead became dirt. We lost. And Allah is saying, if you think that's going to taste bad, wait till you taste the punishment of the Day of Judgment. Right? Omar says that when this verse came down, wondered, who is Allah talking about here? Who is Who is this group of people that are going to be forced to flee? Because we were in Mecca, we were the oppressed group of people, we weren't at war with them. We're just trying to bear their persecution. This is an early verse in the Quran, and Allah is talking about it as if it's already happening. Right? Just like he did with Surah Rum, and they're going to come back, and they're going to win. Right? So, Omar said, then when the Battle of Badr happened, saw the prophet and his companions coming forth and charging in the battlefield, the prophet and his companions charging in the battlefield. And he was reciting the entire time, He said, then understood that this was prophecy. This was talking about the Day of Badr. At the time of the revelation of Surah Rum, this was so early in Islam that the persecution was so bad that they had to send people to flee to Abyssinia. So, it's like, who's this talking about? Like, the Muslims are fleeing to Abyssinia to get away from persecution. Who is talking about? From the revelation of the ayah to the moment that it happened was how long? 7 years. 7 years. 7 years, and the entire circumstance will flip. It was prophecy. It was an ayah that would come to be in the time of the believers. And Omar said that on the night before the Battle of Badr, he said the prophet as he made dua in his tent all night, he comes out, the prophet and his companions, and he started to walk to the ground, and he would touch the ground, and he would say, "This is where this person is going to die. This is where this person is going to die. This is where this person is going to die." This is where Abu Jahl is going to die. This is where Shaybah is going to die. This is where Utbah is going to die. Like, you imagine the prophet mapping out the night before exactly where everyone was going to die. Omar was watching that. And he says, and you know Omar, Omar is not one who has any filter, who will exaggerate. He says, swear by the one who sent him in truth, every single person fell exactly where the prophet said that they would, not even handspan away. Like, he didn't just predict the victory, he mapped out the specifics of the death of the opponents, where they would fall on that day of Badr. And that's why Badr is looked at as one of the ayat, the signs of the Day of Judgment, as well. one of the people who saw it that way, there's hadith in Bukhari. It actually is interesting. It comes under two chapters in two subchapters in Bukhari. Chapter 19, Surah Dukhan, verse 10. Surah Dukhan in both ayat, verse 10. The chapter, "Then wait for the day when the sky will be full of smoke." Okay? The chapter, "Then wait for the day when the sky will be full of smoke." And chapter "The day that we will seize you with the greatest seizure, and indeed we will exact retribution." And indeed, we will exact retribution. This is verse 16 of Surah Dukhan. So, Bukhari has subchapters doing the tafsir of these verses. And he says, "And Abdullah," meaning Abdullah, he said, "Five signs This is very interesting narration. He said, "Five signs of the Day of Judgment have passed." Five signs of the Day of Judgment have passed. He said, "The smoke, the smoke, and Rome, and the and the defeat of Persia at the hands of Rome, and the moon, and the moon, and the seizure, and the punishment. The seizure is the seizure, like the defeat of the enemies. The punishment that follows So, he said, "These five signs have already passed." Now, I'm going to break this down and cuz it's it's an interesting one. Some of the companions they disagreed with about the smoke here that the smoke is one of the later signs of the Day of Judgment. But it can actually carry both meanings cuz that happens in the Quran. That Allah will use single word to describe two phenomenons. So, there is smoke smoke that the people of Mecca saw, and there is grand smoke smoke that will cover the sky that will happen towards the end of time. And Abdullah he explains that that this happened because when the prophet left Mecca, he made dua against his people the way Yusuf He made dua against his people the way Yusuf made dua against his people for them to suffer years the way that Yusuf people suffered for years. And so, they were struck by drought and severe hardship. And so, they were struck by drought and severe hardship. And this is by the way true of the history of Mecca, and poetic justice. What did they have to do? They had to eat bones in Mecca, which was the exact conditions that they inflicted on the prophet and the Muslims in the boycott. So, those of you that are watching what happened to Divine justice will come to those that did it to them. Right? It will come to those that did it to them. The promise of Allah will come. So, they're in Mecca, and they were eating they were eating bones. And he says that person was so hungry, and there was so much dryness in the air from the famine, that you're starving, and there is no water, there is no rain coming, and it's just complete drought. And so, imagine being in the desert, and all you have to eat are these leaves and these bones. And he said, "You'd look up in the sky, and it was like there was smoke in the sky." So, he said that Abu Sufyan asked the prophet to make dua to make dua to Allah. He's still fighting the prophet and his companions to make dua to your lord since you made dua to him against us to lighten on your people in Mecca. Imagine all they did to him. Ya Muhammad take it easy on us. Your brothers in Quraysh who ran you out, who looted everything, who killed your family but you're different. Take it easy on us. So the prophet said in Al-Jadid, you have some nerve. But you know what? He still made dua Alaihi Wasallam for Allah to lift the punishment. Okay, that's that's far. So the prophet prayed for them and so rain came upon them and Allah says in Al-Jadid. You will go back to your state. What does that mean? As soon as Mecca was good again, as soon as the drought finished, as soon as they got everything back, they went right back to their Kufur and their their their deciding that they're going to end the prophet and we have to go and fight them. Right? And so Allah mentions the day that Nabul And so then wait for the day that we will seize you. Verily we will take our revenge on you. Ibn Mas'ud says that is the day of Badr. That is the day so he says is actually the day of Badr. And just like when Allah says in the end of so far you are going to Al-Jazama. Is moat, it's death. That Al-Jazama is binding death and punishment that will come upon you. So Ibn Mas'ud said Al-Dukhan is one sign and that's the famine. And then in Al-Jadid you you go back to your your your ways after relief and then Al-Kubra and Al-Jazama are the day of Badr and then the death that came after Badr. So he says those are five signs. Likewise the prophet and this is very important, he prophesized not just victory but he also prophesized loss. And this is one of the most stunning functions of the Sira by the way. He knew Uhud was going to happen Alaihi Wasallam. He saw dream where he waved sword and it broke. And then he waved it back and it was put together. And he says this before Uhud even happens and he sees animals being slaughtered. And that is representation of his Ummah. And he says the sword broke this way, that is defeat that's going to happen at Uhud. And it came back together, that is the Fatah, the conquest that will follow. And this is very important because the prophet did not just prophesized moments of success, he prophesized moments of failure. And this is actually one of the signs of the truth of his prophethood. Not to get into too much detail but some of the spoke about this like prosperity soothsayer just tells you what you want to hear. And he doesn't warn you. And the was both Bashir and Nazeer. So his his signs were not just all these great things that are going to happen to the Ummah. Rather we read the signs of the day of judgement and we say, okay, how do not be part of that loss? How do not cause the difficulty that is to come? You also have the day of Tabuk. The Tabuk where the said to the companions, it was completely calm night. That this like tornado is about to come. He's forecasting. The night is calm. He's saying strong wind is about to come. And he said so fasten your camels tight and shelter yourselves. Don't stand outside. And Abu Humaid who is the narrator of this, he says that one man basically stood up. He didn't take the prophet's advice and this huge like hurricane or tornado like wind came upon us and he said that man was picked up and by that wind and basically thrown into the mountain. Like the wind was so strong that it actually picked him up and threw him into mountain of Tayy. The last thing I'll say here dear brothers and sisters in sha Allah because we're close to time is then how did the believers interact with these signs? Allah says the Al-Ahzab. This is verse 22 of Surat Al-Ahzab. When the believers saw the army gathered against them they were so at peace. They said, no, it's okay. This is what Allah and the messenger promised us. And Allah and the messenger have spoken the truth. And the only thing it did is it increased them Iman and Tasleema. In faith and in submission. What's the difference between Iman and Tasleem? Allah also mentions Tasleem is like the last phase. What's the difference? Iman is to affirm the truth. Tasleem is to submit to it, to yield to it. Right? So it's that your reality. You're not just accepting the promise. You're actually yielding to the process of that promise. So we're good. Alhamdulillah, no matter what they put in front of us. Allah and the messenger already told us this would happen. And so it's important for us as Muslims when we see the signs of the day of judgement that unfolded in the past and those predictions of the that came true to be reminded that the prophet's promise was true. It was true promise. Therefore everything that Allah and the messenger have promised is true and will come to be. I'll end with these few narrations in sha Allah. Ta'ala. One of the things that happened after the death of the Alaihi Wasallam is the Sahaba would remind each other of the Bishara, the glad tidings of the in the form of those signs of the day of judgement. And those things helped them see through every single moment of history. And so remember the in the Hijra. Right? And he gets caught by Suraqa ibn Malik. And Suraqa is the bounty hunter. And the prophet says, how will it be Suraqa when you're holding the golden bracelets of Kisra? The most powerful man in the world when you're holding them in your hands. Like the prophet is fugitive. He doesn't have power over single locality at that point. He's pursued and he's saying to the man who caught him, one day you're going to hold the bracelets of Kisra. And what happened in the time of Al-Khattab they defeated the Persians. And said Suraqa come here. Imagine Sahaba Suraqa held those golden bracelets. Two most expensive bracelets in the world, right? The golden bracelets of Kisra. They used this for the different moments, even on very personal level. Ibn Mas'ud when he found Abu Dhar Anhu and his wife was holding him on the side of an unknown road in the middle of nowhere and the prophet told Abu Dhar that you will live alone, you will die alone and you will be raised up on the day of judgement alone. And his wife is holding his body waiting for someone to pass through and Ibn Mas'ud passes through. And he says Rasulullah Alaihi Wasallam. The prophet told the truth. You walk alone, you'll die alone and you'll be resurrected alone. That if you live long enough, you will see woman that travels all the way from this land to this land. And there are different lands that are mentioned. Making tawaf around the Kaaba not to have Allah not fearing anyone but Allah. And he's mentioning that you know as as as he goes on become Hayatun. That if you live long enough, you will see that Abu Qasim everything the prophet said is true. And you'll see the writers saying that we saw these signs happen in our lives. I'm going to conclude with one incident that took place in the night. And that is the incident with Abu Ubaidah at Ta'ala Anhu at Yarmouk. Abu Ubaidah at the battle of Yarmouk as he is there, man comes to him on that day and he says to Abu Ubaidah Anhu that I've prepared myself for death. think I'm going to die today. Have that intuition. think I'm going to die today. So he says, if see the prophet Alaihi Wasallam should tell the prophet Alaihi Wasallam anything? What do you want me to tell the prophet what do you want me to tell the prophet on your behalf? Abu Ubaidah, you're staying behind. think I'm going to be Shaheed today. If die and meet the prophet, what do you want me to tell him? He said Nam. He said you give him Salam. Tell the prophet, messenger of Allah, we have found everything that was promised to be true. Everything you said would happen. Everything our lord said would happen. Happened. And that man indeed was martyred. And Allah knows what was conveyed to our messenger. Dear brothers and sisters, one of the ways the practical ways you deal with these signs is you say what the law Allah has told the truth the prophet has told the truth this is actually your way to be like Abu Bakr Allah and affirm your man With every sign that has passed and every sign that will pass and if you think about what you're going to be asked in your grave Right what the Dajjal is going to challenge who is your lord what is your religion who is your prophet Allah is my lord Muhammad is my prophet Islam is my religion the Dajjal is going to try to take that away from you Right and what's prior to him and less than him will try to take that away from you and in your grave That could be taken away from you That affirmation of to be love believe in Allah so that so that so that so that is one of the greatest ways to actually practically interact with these of the day of judgment and you see throughout the books whether it's fear of the know we are going to be or even job or even job have all of their listings That as they would write about the signs that passed they would say well so that Allah Allah and the messenger told the truth or they would say for how that could be all of this that happened all of this that happened the prophet told us what happened what could what could would you do how that what could that happen how that that this happened and this showed what happened in the world and this is from the proofs of prophet hood So all of these things were ways that the scholars in history They said we saw it happen You have over 1400 years of history of the signs unfolding before their eyes we saw it happen Next week in the world We'll talk about sign that the thought happened while the prophet was still alive which was the Dajjal And how they interacted with the Dajjal himself coming out at their time and the knowledge that he was potentially amongst them because can hear it again apologize for going over time with all of them in the world Again reminder this Saturday in the world we'll have session of the first between and all of them in the world
