True Signs of the Hour Since

True Signs of the Hour Since

One of the miracles of the Prophet Mohammad, and proofs for his actuality of his prophecy is what he has told us about the matters of the unseen. Futuristic events which nobody else could predict its occurrence, while Prophet predicted took place and this is also a miracle of the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him
For example his report-peace be upon him- about the signs of the hour, the signs of the Resurrection. These signs will happen before that day and warn of the hour approaching. The occurrence of most of the hour signs is a catalyze for Muslims to prepare for the Day of Judgment. This motivates the Muslim to abandon the heedlessness and not to incline to dunya. The feeling of the approach of The Judgment Day makes Muslim do lots of good works and pledge obedience to Allah.
In these few pages we'll talk about some of The Minor Signs of the Last Day, which the Prophet told his nation of:
1- The appearance of fitan (tribulations)
For the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:" Before the Last Hour there will be commotions like pieces of a dark night in which a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening, or a believer in the evening and infidel in the morning." [Authenticated by Al-Albani]
