Signs of Zuhur . God (Allah) . Takabbur (Arrogance) . Waswasa . Satan

I have come across many videos about signs of Allah on YouTube. I worry that not watching them might indicate arrogance towards His signs. Do I need to watch all of them, or is this just a Waswasa from Shaytan?

Who is the Nafs al-Zakiyah, as indicated in the narrations from the Imams (a), and could it potentially have been Sayed Hassan Nasrallah?

Scholars . Dajjal . Signs of Zuhur

Is the correct understanding regarding the Dajjal that it is a metaphorical system rather than an actual person, as claimed by some Shia scholars? Please clarify the reasons supporting this view.

Either a literal or a metaphorical interpretation is acceptable.

The narrations could be speaking literally about a person.

Possibly, also, the Prophet (S) and Imams (A) were attempting to explain something to people who, because they lived in a different time with different technologies, could not have understood them at all if they had tried to give a literal explanation. Therefore, they spoke metaphorically in a way that people would understand.

Allah knows best, and we will find out.

Polar Regions . Signs of Zuhur . Imam al-Mahdi

When is the anticipated occurrence of the sign of the sun rising from the west in the timeline of the events before the appearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a)? Can a polar shift fulfill this sign?

This is one of the signs which will happen before the reappearance of Imam Al-Mahdi (AS). Our Sunni brothers have in their books that it will definitely happen before the Day of Resurrection.

Allah (SWT) Knows when and how it will happen, whether it will happen through a polar shift or any other way. We believe that it will happen, and can not suggest any details or reasons. Allah (SWT) Knows and we don’t know how.

Sunni-Shi'a . Signs of Zuhur . India

Some Sunni scholars talk of the prophecy of an interreligious war, called Ghazwa-e-Hind, in the Indian subcontinent. Is there any such prophecy in Shia Islam?

There is no such prophecy at all neither in Shia books of Hadeeth nor in authentic Sunni Hadeeths. There are three weak and fabricated narrations in this regard; one of them narrated from Thawban, one of the servants of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) but with out authentic narrators to Thawban. Two narrations from Abu Huraira who was serving Bani Umayya and fabricating for them whatever they wanted. These two narrations are in favour of the army of Bani Umayyad who attacked India.

These weak and fabricated narrations have no value among the scholars of Hadeeth.

'Unfortunately, such baseless "prophecy" is been misused by terrorist groups who consider all who differ with them as Kafir, from one side, and on the other side, by enemies of Islam to instigate non Muslims against the Muslims in India.

I have read a narration which says that Imam-e-Zamaan (a) would re-appear in an odd numbered year. Is this narration authentic?

We have such narrations in Ghaibat al-No'mani (Page 268) narrated from Imam Al-Baqir (AS) and similar narration from Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) in Al-Irshad by Al-Mufeed (V. 2 , Page 279) and al-Ghaibah by Shaikh al-Tousi , P.473.

The calculation of the year according to Ahlul Bayt (AS) is not necessarily the same calculation of the people.
