1) Is it for all muslims or only for those that are pious and have the correct aqeedah?
2) I’ve heard that when one hears this call they have to start walking towards qiblah direction a.s.a.p.. and if they delay it by collecting their personal items then they will miss out on this opportunity.. is this true..?? if yess what if those personal items were islamic related..??
3) How long will Hazrat Imam Mahdi (Radi Allahu Anhu) rule before the coming of dajjal..??
JazakAllahu Khairan
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
1) we are not assigned to judge the hearts of people. In any case whoever is granted that, it is by Allah, whatever his or her `aqidah.
2) I have not heard what you mentioned, but in any case, it means they want our hearts to be ready to move immediately, musta’id, prepared to carry out Divine orders. It does not mean “don’t attend to necessities”, and Allah knows best.
3) That is a short time between Sayyidina al-Mahdi’s (as) appearance and the appearance of Dajjal, but I don’t know specifics. Perhaps someone else may answer this.
