Question: Can the signs of the Last Hour justify predicting an exact year or day for it?
Answer: No. Reports of the signs are accepted as taught, but the exact time belongs to Allah’s knowledge. A sign cannot be converted into an unsupported calendar prediction.
Follow-up: What, then, is the value of knowing the signs?
Clarification: They strengthen awareness, warn against tribulation and prompt preparation through deeds. The Hereafter is a call to accountability, not speculation.
