This is a continuation of the signs of the day of judgment….which I have a feeling is going to be a very looong section. Imam Anwar mentioned that his main source had over 50 authentic signs of the day of judgment! Please remember that I do NOT know Arabic, and therefore some of the Arabic names, places and words may be incorrect, as I may not hear them properly on the CD. (And if you see any mistakes, please let me know!) JazakAllah khayr.

The Battle of Al-Jamal
When ‘Uthmaan ibn Affaan was killed, there was no hadiy [t.n: I'm not sure if that's the Arabic word he used]. Some of the Muslims came to ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib and told him that they will give him bay’ah [t.n: pledge]. ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib said no; he said do not give me bay’ah until the Muslims make a shoorah and they decide. They told ‘Ali that ‘Uthmaan was killed, there is a fitna and the killers of ‘Uthmaan will spread all over and the problems will get bigger and bigger. Therefore, you must be the khalifa. They kept insisting until ‘Ali agreed. They had to have a leader. They needed somebody to go and unite the Muslims. They gave ‘Ali bay’ah. Az-Zubayr and Talha gave ‘Ali bay’ah also. (more…)

(This was a loooong part….but very interesting. Just a side note….I’m not transcribing verbatim. Imam Anwar repeats stuff a lot 
)
The Signs of the Day of Judgment (SDOJ)
The signs of the day of judgment which translate as ashrat as-sa’aa. These are indications or milestones in our path towards the day of judgment. As sa’aa means the Hour, or the beginning of the day of judgment.
No one knows it but Allah. This is ‘ilm al-ghayb. That’s why in the hadith of jibreel, when he asked about the Hour, RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “The one who is asked does not know any better than the one who is asking.” Meaning, neither of us knows when the day of judgment is, but RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam has told us many of its signs.
