Qiyamat Ki Alamaat

The respectful are fortunate

Dear Islamic brothers! When Angel Jibril عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم sat next to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he sat in the tashahhud position with his hands on his thighs. Therefore, when we sit in the company of someone with a high rank, like a teacher, scholar, mufti, shaykh, or father, we should sit in a respectful manner. Another important point is that Angel Jibril عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم knew the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was granted knowledge of the unseen by Allah Almighty, including when the Day of Judgement will occur.

On other occasions, the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم mentioned the day, month and date, that it will occur on Friday and it will be the month of Muḥarram.[1] Just as it is stated in a Hadith that the Day of Judgement will occur on the day of ꜤĀshūrāˈ, i.e., 10th of Muharram.[2]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Signs of the Day of Judgement

Dear Islamic brothers! The Day of Judgement will come, but there are signs that will occur before its arrival. In this Hadith, the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم mentioned two signs: a slave girl will give birth to her master, and barefooted, naked, poor shepherds will compete in constructing tall
