Ignorance Becoming Widespread
States Abū Khadījah, ‘From the signs of the hour is that ignorance will become widespread and knowledge will become hard to seek due to the death of the ʿUlamāʾ.”

In this article, we want to deal with an important matter that concerns all Muslims: Pre-Decree and Pre-Destination (al-Qaḍāʾ wa-al-Qadr), a subject that has been a point of contention for the Scholars throughout the ages. It has been related that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) once found his Companions arguing about Qadr. He forbade them from indulging in such a debate and told them that communities before them had been destroyed for that reason.
However, by the grace of Allāh, our Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ were able to understand the issue and formulate a moderate view based upon equity and justice. In th…

Indeed have you asked me about faith, and the difference of the nation concerning it’s completion and it’s increasing and decreasing, and you mentioned that you would like to know the position of Ahl al-Sunnah with regards to this, and the proof of those that differ from them on this.

An excellent depiction of the signs leading up to the Final Hour is described in detail by the Imām of al-Jarḥ wa al-Taʿdīl. Unfortunately, the non-ʿArabīc speaker cannot take full benefit from this talk due to the shortcomings in the translation.
A statement is not beneficial except with an action, and neither is an action or statement beneficial, except with an intention, and neither is an action, statement, or intention beneficial, except with the Sunnah.

Therefore the lawful is what Allāh and His Messenger made lawful and the unlawful is what Allāh and His Messenger made unlawful and the r…
