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.
Wassalam.
