وَنُؤْمِنُ بِأَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ مِنْهَا: خُرُوجُ الدَّجَّالِ، وَنُزُولُ عِيسَى بْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَنُؤْمِنُ بِطُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا، وَخُرُوجِ دَابَّةِ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهَا
We believe in the signs of the Hour: the emergence of the Dajjāl, the descent of Jesus son of Mary from heaven, the sun rising from the west, and the Beast of the Earth coming forth from its place.
وَلَا نُصَدِّقُ كَاهِنًا وَلَا عَرَّافًا وَلَا مَنْ يَدَّعِي شَيْئًا يُخَالِفُ الْكِتَابَ وَالسُّنَّةَ وَإِجْمَاعَ الْأُمَّةِ.
We do not affirm a kāhin (soothsayer), an ʿarrāf (diviner), or anyone who makes a claim contrary to the Book, the Sunnah and the consensus of the Muslim community.
How the passages fit: Belief in reliably transmitted signs of the Hour rests on revelation. Confidence in soothsayers’ and diviners’ claims is rejected; not every claim about the unseen has the same authority.
Application: Belief in the emergence of the Dajjāl and the descent of Jesus rests on transmitted texts. Inventing a certain date by personal conjecture or astrology is a different kind of claim.
Limit of inference: Affirming signs does not establish that any person knows the precise date of the Hour.
