How much time do we have left? In this new series on the signs of the Day of Judgement, Dr. Omar Suleiman addresses one of the most pressing questions of our time: are we in the end times?
Curated by: Yaqeen Institute (21 videos)
The Prophet ﷺ described a time when a man would bring his friends close and treat his father coldly. A time when a mother is pushed aside because she has nothing left to give. A time when “a slave woman gives birth to her master.” Dr. Omar Suleiman looks at one of the most uncomfortable signs of the Day of Judgment: the breakdown of the family, and how we treat our parents once they seemingly no longer do anything for us. He explains what these narrations mean (and what they don’t), why being kind to everyone except your own family is a warning sign, and why scholars call elderly parents a person’s first real test of power. And why did Allah specifically praise Yahya and Isa (peace be upon them) for being dutiful to their parents?
