What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMuslims should stop obsessing about the end times; the hadith of Jibril defines faith and the signs of the hour without mentioning Jesus's return or the Dajjal.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says many Muslims hold a morbid outlook that the world is getting worse, and he praises a post by Imam Zaid Shakir [?] saying Muslims need to stop obsessing about the end of times. He recalls three hadith: the hadith of Jibril, in which the Prophet says he does not know when the hour is and, asked for its signs and for the meaning of faith, mentions neither the Dajjal nor Jesus's return; the hadith in which someone asking about the hour is told to ask instead what he has prepared for it; and the hadith that if the hour came while one of you was planting or eating, he should carry on, which Mufti reads as a lesson in optimism. At the end he begins to state his own understanding that the return of Jesus is a Christian belief that crept into Islam in the early decades, especially as Muslims expanded into the Roman Empire and many Christian converts entered Islam.

the insight to learn from all groups but to never become affiliated with a group and that way I can just now it's all about just making sense to me if this group says something it makes sense alhamdulillah allenbury see you know if it's in light with the Quran Sunnah as understood through reason as the school of other Medina have photos right now okay so let's take a look at this discussion first of all many Muslims do have this understanding that the world is getting bad and this morbid outlook and I love what Imams 8th Circuit said
about this he said that look Muslims really need to stop obsessing about the end of times he said they need to stop obsessing about this and he has a beautiful post on this where he speaks about really just calling them two three honey that one that the Prophet said I don't know when it is and keep in mind by the way the famous hadith of debris when Gabriel asks the Prophet when is the final hour the Prophet said I don't know and then when gibreel said what are the signs he didn't say that there's gonna be at the jail and Jesus and stuff like this he didn't say that okay so just to clarify and when he asked him what his
faith and he said believing in Allah his messengers his books in the afterlife that are lies in absolute control he didn't say believing in Jesus coming back just as a side note they now Imams a chucker says that is one hadith the other hadith that when somebody asked the Prophet about the final hour and he said what have you prepared for it my I did tell her rather than asking about it what have you prepared for it and and then the final hadith which is a beautiful hadith that the Prophet said if the final hour was to occur and one of you is planting a plant or is eating food let him carry on eating let him
carry on planting think about it that sounds absurd why would you wanna you know I'm planting a plant here the whole world's about to come to an end but no optimism is what the messenger of allah salallahu alaihe salam tortas optimism now so people have this movie doubt look now that i want to clarify one point this thing of Jesus coming back in my understanding this is a Christian belief that crept into Islam maybe in the early decades after the Prophet and aspire
especially as the Muslims expanded into the Roman Empire and many Christian converts came into Islam so my understanding is that this belief crept in through them and and then later on II got is Lama sized and so and then people later on it turned into other issues there were power elements involved sectarianism and people made it parts are part of creed and stuff like this so that is my my belief on this matter that this is not an Islamic thing why because it contradicts against I believe the main teachings of the Quran
