Suhaib Webb – A Principle For Interpreting Hereafter Texts

This is super important.

Verifying the nature of the event and ensuring

it matches the description of the prophet sallallahu

alaihi wa sallamah

in 3 areas,

100%.

What are the areas that it has to

match up? The time. So when I said

earlier, people were saying the Battle of Khutba

is the end of time. Doesn't doesn't doesn't

fall into the context

of all the hadith about the fitan. The

Battle of Khutbah is going to happen during

the time of Sayid Nai Isa alaihis salatu

salam.

The other example I gave was when people

were saying, oh, there's no Hajj this year.

It means it's the day of judgment. It

doesn't align with the context of the Hadith

when all of the Hadith are brought together.

It becomes very clear that the that the

Hajj is going to be abandoned in a

time after Sayna Issa has died,

and very few believers

are left on the face of the earth.

Until in fact the prophet said in another

hadith,

even Allah's name is not mentioned,

then the Hajj will be abandoned. It's not

talking about 2020 and covid bro.

Relax, man. Stop eating so many hot cheetos

and drinking strawberry pop. That caffeine got you

lit.

So you have to be very careful.

You have to make sure contextually it's correct.

In that it applies to the right

description.

So for example,

read a hadith

in Sahih Muslim. The prophet said, the hour

will not start until you fight the Turks.

Is that now? You're gonna go fight the

Turks. Now the Turks are Muslims.

So obviously,

it is not contextually appropriate

nor does it apply to those Atraq.

As Imam Anawi said, that battle happened before

the time of Imam Anawi, Rahimohullah, before the

Turks accepted Islam.
