ADNAN OKTAR: "As- Salamun Alaykom most valuable Teacher. Could you please explain one of the greatest signs of the Hour, that is, the rising of the Sun from the west? Will the Sun actually rise from the west, or does that have a particular explanation? We would very much appreciate if you may enlighten us on this. I kiss your shining hands with reverence." Lady named Ayla wrote this.

The Sun rising from the west is true. But when this happens, the Last Day will have already begun. There is a giant star that is close to earth and that is a star which throws massive meteor to earth from time to time. When the Hour comes, Allah knows best, that is about 2120, maybe on the 2^nd day of the 2^nd month, you never know.Right? Maybe it will occur on another day, Allah knows. This may happen at any time, insha'Allah. A meteor will hit the earth. Allah knows best, this meteor will hit the earth and pierce through it coming out from the other side of it because in fact the Earth is liquid. People assume the earth to be solid, but it is like a bag filled with water, just like a hot water bag.

You know of those balloons children blow up on festivals. When you fill water into these balloons, you can imagine what happens, it is just like that. The land surface is like a very fine membrane and it is filled with liquid magma to the brim. Because of this magma, the comet will easily pierce through the crust, run through the magma and come out on the other side. But due to gravity of the Earth, it will strike once again from the side, Allah knows best. Consequently, this will affect the direction of the Earth's rotation and this time it will start rotating in opposite direction. That is what will happen.

Bediuzzaman says that then "[The Earth] hits its head onto other planets with irregular moves by Allah's will." And he says, "As a result of this collision, the Last Day will come." All stars will collide with one another, insha'Allah. This means the Sun and the Moon will blacken and shatter into pieces in the same way. He goes on saying, "When the wisdom of the Earth which is the Qur'an is lifted up the skies," because in the End Times, Allah knows the truth, around 1543 (Hijri style), the world will entirely fall into the hands of irreligious, Allah knows best. In other words, nobody will mention Allah's name or religion. The Qur'an is lifted up, there will remain no books or works in written form in reference to religion. They will not permit even a verse to remain in print. "When the wisdom of the Earth which is the Qur'an is lifted up, then the world becomes mad," he says. Since he says, the Qur'an is the wisdom of the Earth, when the Quran is lifted the world will lose its wisdom then it will become insane.

"[The Earth] hits its head onto other planets by Allah's will." This is the intended meaning. "As a result of this collision having irregular moves [with other stars], the Last Day will come by Allah's leave." Following this collision, I believe in a few hours the Hour will escalate and occur insha'Allah. It may be that the Hour will come in 10 hours or 12 hours, it may not even reach 24 hours. People will be terrified in great fear and pregnant women will miscarry. Since the testing of Allah on earth is finalized at that moment, there is no further need for the world to stay behind.

And, when the Sun rises from the west, the door of repentance will be closed. There is no more worship and as a matter of fact, people are not aware of their speech. Allah reveals this in a verse, "You will think people drunk, when they are not drunk," (Surat Al-Hajj, 2). That means people cannot make sentences out of severity of fear. If you ask his name, he will not be able to respond. He makes some noises but that is not speaking, he cannot form a sentence. They will be in agony and pain for hours like that. "Pregnant woman will abort the contents of her womb," (Surat Al-Hajj, 2) the verse states. The entire body will lose control and start making irregular movements. Children's hair will turn white. Their souls will be formerly taken away. Children's hair will turn into milk white, and that is one of the portents of the Day of Judgment, as a miracle their hair will turn milk white when it was pitch black before. And angels will start descending. The angels that Cubbeli talks about start to descend on the Earth then, not at the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). They will be visible and obviously seen when coming down from the sky. Allah says, "Heaven will be split apart," (Surat Al-Haaqqa, 16). This atmosphere is split open and space is observable in daytime. That blue layer is removed and torn apart, and Heaven is seen that way. We are moving fast to that time insha'Allah. But the statement on 2012 is not correct, insha'Allah.
