Asalaam Alaykom,
I thought this would be a fun discussable topic, that everyone might enjoy.
so, here is the Prophecy, the Sun shall Rise in the West, we have probably all heard it, and people are looking for signs of a polar shift and things of this nature. I would like to put forward the idea that the sun already rose in the west, this prophecy has long been fulfilled, it is that no one realized what exactly to look for.
In arabic the word 'rise' carries the meaning of war and uprising; example is; when the Qa'em (atfs) comes this is called 'The Rising" in all our ahadith, when the Aimmah (as) do not fight for their rights They (as) say They (as) know better when to 'rise'
At 6:00 a.m. on 7 December, the six Japanese carriers launched a first wave of 181 planes composed of torpedo bombers, dive bombers, horizontal bombers and fighters. Even as they winged south, some elements of U.S. forces on Oahu realized there was something different about this Sunday morning.
In the hours before dawn, U.S. Navy vessels spotted an unidentified submarine periscope near the entrance to Pearl Harbor. It was attacked and reported sunk by the destroyer USS Ward (DD-139) and a patrol plane. At 7:00 a.m., an alert operator of an Army radar station at Opana spotted the approaching first wave of the attack force. The officers to whom those reports were relayed did not consider them significant enough to take action. The report of the submarine sinking was handled routinely, and the radar sighting was passed off as an approaching group of American planes due to arrive that morning.
The Japanese aircrews achieved complete surprise when they hit American ships and military installations on Oahu shortly before 8:00 a.m. When the attack ended shortly before 10:00 a.m., less than two hours after it began, the American forces has paid a fearful price.

a narration by Abu Hurayrah states:
"Allah's Apostle (PBUH) said: Hasten to do good deeds before six things happen: the rising of the sun from the west, the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast, and the death of one of you, or the general turmoil." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 7039)
The national flag of Japan
is also known as Nisshoki or Hinomaru in Japanese language, which means "circle of the sun." In English, Japan flag is sometimes called as the "rising sun." The background color in the Japan flag picture is white. On the center of the base of Japan flag there is a large red disc which represents the rising sun. This centered sun symbol of the Japanese flag has been an important part of Japan's flag for thousands of years. The white background of the Japan flag is representative of honesty and purity.
Official Name: Nihon (or Nippon) koku.

When the people saw the flags of the rising sun in the west, an attack which lasted for one morning and then turned back, they saw the sun rise in the west for one sunrise before it turned back!
Jesus (as) used the example of Noah to reveal attitudes that would predominate near the end: "But as the days of Noah were,so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be"
this would mean, no one will actually realize they are living in the middle of the last days, and the rising of the actual sun in the west is too big a sign to miss, unless it is not actually a literal thing.
anyone have any particular thoughts on the topic?
God bless
