“The day that some of the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by performing deeds of righteousness) through his Faith” [al-An’aam 6:158]
Imam al-Bukhari (4635) and Muslim (157) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The Hour will not begin until the sun rises from its place of setting. When it rises from its place of setting, all people will believe, but on that day ‘no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before,’ [al-An’aam 6:158].”
This is a subject we have seen Allah guiding us to understand but we have not been spoken to regarding it by Ahl al Ghayb, so it is our understanding.
Insha Allah to begin, it is impossible that the sun will change its course, the sun is a huge source of gravity in the universe that creates all the paths of the planets and if it did it will throw out all the planets in the universe from their course and possibly the solar system.
Rather it is the earth that is changing its course so that the sun will appear to rise from west instead of the east and this is perfectly possible in our scientific understanding of matters.
The earth can do this if there is a major shift in its magma core and it changes its polar axis, which it is estimated to do every 25,000 years, thus far we have surpassed the 25,000 year mark and it is overdue according to scientists.
What could cause the earth to temporarily shift its rotation before it realigns itself again, before this event occurs Allah will ask Jibril (as) to hurl a giant Asteroid at the earth to end America, in ahadith it is said this asteroid will begin major weather changes in the earth, earthquakes will become much more severe a sign the impact affected the earth to its core, storms will be very frequent so that a person cannot leave his home without fear of being struck by lightning, this will be so common that it is something like one in seven people will be struck, or every person will know someone who is struck since the number 7 in Arabic is a generalisation that means somewhere between 1 in 7 to 1 in 70.
The earthquake will cause a giant smoke (from debris?) to cover the atmosphere of the earth for 40 days, surah al Dukhan (the smoke) in the Quran is named after this event.
So why will repentance be no longer accepted? understand humans are creatures that rely on the earth’s magnetic field to live, our spiritualty and psychology also rely on it, if something causes it to change it will cause a change in us spiritually and psychologically as well.
This is the type of event that for example could cause peaceful people to become more violent or sadistic or narcissist or lake empathy or sympathy or mercy, because it is the new atmosphere of earth that is driving it in people, but Allah describes the effects what life will be like after the sun rises from the west in ahadith and the Quran, people won’t be able to find faith in themselves or repentance.
So it is not that Allah will stop accepting repentance, but a change in the earth will occur that will stop people from reaching Iman, becoming believers if they were not believers before, and feeling a need to repent if they did not repent before.
What is being described here in a language desert Arabs could understand is that the earth will begin to work against human psychologically and spiritually.
Allah teaches about the reality of the earths magnetic field and electromagnetic field in surah al Shams (91). in which He says He guides mans soul to what is right and wrong through these subatomic forces, so if that where no longer possible Iman and repentance will no longer be possible.
Allah says: “BY the sun and its radiant brightness (it electromagnetic field and solar activity), By the moon as it reflects the sun! (It reflects the suns solar activity at night) BY the day as it reveals the (suns acitvity to the) world, By the night as it veils it darkly! (The day and night cycle is the period of increased and decreased solar activity, that shapes our self as it reacts to it during the day and find peace from it at night, we live under this regime) BY the sky and its wondrous make (the atmosphere is created because of the earth’s magnetic field shielding it from the sun and space creating its own independent cycles that affect us), By the earth and all its expanse! (The expanse of the earth is affected by gravity, it creates the atmosphere and different weather patterns that exist around the world, all of is due to the earth magma core which creates this field that allows life to exist) BY the Soul (which is made from subatomic particles, as all things are), and how it is formed (from these particles) in accordance with what it is meant to be (it is subject to the Laws of physics and because it is subatomic it is affected by subatomic fields in space and on earth), And inspired it (through this process) with what is wrong for it and right for it. To a happy state shall indeed attain he who causes this [self] to grow in purity (human flourishing and creativity is part of this process), and truly lost is he who buries it [in darkness, when the sun rises from the west all souls will be in darkness of this process unless they had already shaped their souls beforehand in life].
TO [THIS] TRUTH (that previous civilizations already knew) gave the lie, in their overweening arrogance, [the tribe of] Thamud”(91:1-11).
The earth may realign itself but will have a new north pole and south pole for the next 25,000 years, that means people on earth will now live under a new subatomic reality that is no longer aligned with the old magnetic field of the earth, a new one is created that will do new things.
This will affect how Allah guides mans soul through these forces weakening Tawheed, how can Tawheed be weakened ? because Rasul Allah (saws) described Tawheed in ahadith in terms of physics as the inner most light (particle field) of the heart that is a persons “Uns”, his center, which aligns Him with the (literal) light of Allah in the universe so Allah can guide Him.
We say “Light” but the word light in ahadith is used to represent all subatomic particles not just photons and besides all normal light is made of particles. What this is saying is that man will no longer be able to align Himself with Allah, in physics this is called the coherence of waves (particle waves), the ability of two electromagnetic fields (lights or particle fields) to be in harmony with each other so they can pass on information over their waves.
Your mobile phone does the same thing to communicate with the cellular tower so you get reception.
All of this is explained by the prophet (saws) in the famous hadith of Jabir about the creation of the universe from subatomic particles… “Then He (Allah) divided the fourth (particle) into four other parts and created from the first the heavens, and from the second the earth, and from the third the Paradise and the Fire, and then he divided the fourth (particle) into four parts and created from the first the Light in the believers visions (Electromagnetic field of the brain), and from the second the light of their hearts (Electromagnetic field of the heart) which is knowledge of Allah (how they know the world Allah created), and from the third the light of their inner harmony (Uns, of the heart) which is the Tawheed (how they know) ‘There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, etc…”. (Abd al-Razzaq (d. 211) narrates it in his Musannaf according to Qastallani in al-Mawahib al-laduniyya (1:55) and Zarqani in his Sharh al-mawahib (1:56 of the Matba`a al-`amira edition in Cairo).
Tawheed is a reality of physics and subject to it, the earth shifting its pole and spinning in the opposite direction so that the sun rises from the west will affect that reality of man and stop him from making new connections with Allah if he did not make them before, the new axis of the north pole and the magma core that creates it could work against mans inner “compass” to un-align his center from the light of Allah.
Shortly after this occurs Allah will lift up the Quran and remove all people who believed from earth the end result of this event is that the hour will come upon the worst of people who will have no sense of right and wrong or Allah.
“BY the Soul, and how it is formed in accordance with what it is meant to be, And inspired it with what is wrong for it and right for it.”
