Yasir Qadhi

Warfare

Following this series  The Signs of Judgement Day, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi takes on the topic of the Masih al-Dajjal, the first of the ten major signs of Judgment Day. The topic of Dajjal is begun in this talk and concluded in the next. This episode introduces the individual Masih al-Dajjal and differentiates him from the our beloved prophet Isa a.s. to whom the term Masih is also applied. There is however a clear difference between the two titles and Sheikh Yasir delves into this matter thoroughly. Our respected Sheikh thereafter proceeds to expound the origin of Dajjal, an aspect Muslims have always been curious about. And it is also interesting to note that the Dajjal is mentioned in other religious scriptures too under the title the Antichrist. With everything that's happening in the world today and the speed at which Time appears to be moving, let us not  waste any more of that precious commodity Allah has gifted Muslims. Make the time today to listen to this series on the Signs of Judgment Day by Sheikh Yasir Qadhi.

Is Using The Term 'Sunni Islam' Divisive

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the topic of the Day of Judgement and we are acquainted with the Minor Signs of the Judgement Day. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Did you ever hear of a city located partly on land and partly in the sea? They (the Companions) said: Messenger of Allah Ever. He Saw said: It happened the day of Resurrection, so he was attacked by 70,000 people from Bani Ishaq. When they had got there, so they enter it. They are not fighting with guns and did not release any single arrows. They just say La ilaha illa Allaah Akbar, then fell one part of the city. Said Tsaur (narrators of hadith): I do not know unless it is; only say that troops are in the sea. Then they say the second time Laa ilaha illa Allaah Akbar, then fell also some other (land). Then they said again Laa ilaha illa Allaah Akbar, then opened all of the city. Then they entered it. When they were handing out the war booty, suddenly there came a man (Satan), shouting: Behold the liars have been out. Then they left everything and come back.” - This Hadith predicts many westerners converting to Islam and they will conquer Constantinople without any bloodshed . In the Arabian Peninsula, there shall be tall buildings and skyscrapers. The Ummah of the Prophet ﷺ will have plenty of wealth. Evils will spread like the loss of trust among people. The rise and spread of evil and corrupt leaders. There would be plenty of bloodshed among the Ummah continually until Judgement Day. Killing, bloodshed and war would be increased. Intercourse outside of marriage - Zina -  will become a norm of sorts. The proliferation of intoxicants and music till the end of time. Building of magnificent Masajid that are empty. Children will become bossy and domineering over the parents and be disrespectful towards them. Multiple shopping centers and souqs will be in large quantities and this will lead of hardening of the hearts and diminishing of Taqwa. Obesity will be rampant among the people. Ar Room will be the dominant civilisation of the world. This is indicated at the Modern West. Writing would become prevalent and literacy will be at its peak. The coming of Muhammad Ibn Abdillah - the Mahdi - this is the link between the end of the Minor signs and the beginning of the Major Signs - which is the coming of Dajjal.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi provides an elaborate insight into the signs and the concept of the Judgement Day in this amazing lecture. Understanding the concept of the Day of Judgement and its signs awakens us to the reality of the actual Day of Qiyamah. Of the needs to study about the concept of Judgement Day are as follows: It makes us appreciate the truthfulness of our Noble Prophet ﷺ. The signs of the Judgement Day makes us take precautions and take care to prepare for the Day of Qiyamah. It gives us a sense of comfort. The Signs of the Day of Judgement can be categorised as follows: Based on a particular incident or a general trend. Based on division into Major Signs (10 of them) and Minor Signs. The Major Signs of the Day of Judgement are as follows: The Dukhan - The Dust Dajjal The Daabbah - The Beast The rising of the sun from the west Coming down of Isa AS Yajooj and Majooj Three Zalazil or earthquakes A blazing Fire that will emanate in Yemen Some of the more significant of the Minor Signs are as follows as per the book Kitab ul Fitan : The Birth of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ The Sahaba would themselves fight one another The Prophet ﷺ predicted the Battle of Siffin The Prophet ﷺ predicted this when Ammar Ibn Yasir RA was being tortured - He said that a lady would come from Sanaa with her flock of sheep and she would bring peace and security in the nethers.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi answers the most often asked question on the ruling regarding the Fate of good Non Muslims. Allah is the Hakam and we are His Makhlook. Allah does as He pleases and nobody challenges what His actions. To judge Allah from our finite wisdom is the height of arrogance. He has a Code of Law, which was legislated by Him and He says that He will not do injustice even of an atom’s weight. Numerous verses in the Qur'an are quoted that explicitly assert the fate in the Hereafter of the non believers and those who stray from the path of Islam. A non believer may go to Jannah only as an exception and not as a general ruling or an ethical perspective.
