00:00Narrated Abu Huraira. One day while the Prophet ﷺ was sitting in the company of some people,
00:07the angel Gabriel came and asked, What is faith? Allah's messenger ﷺ replied,
00:14Faith is to believe in Allah, his angels, the meeting with him, his apostles, and to believe
00:20in resurrection. Then he further asked, What is Islam? Allah's messenger ﷺ replied,
00:27To worship Allah alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay the compulsory charity
00:33zakat, and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan. Then he further asked, What is ihsan,
00:40perfection? Allah's messenger ﷺ replied, To worship Allah as if you see him, and if you cannot
00:47achieve this state of devotion, then you must consider that he is looking at you. Then he
00:51further asked, When will the hour be established? Allah's messenger ﷺ replied,
00:57The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner, but I will inform you about its
01:01portents. One, when a slave lady gives birth to her master. Two, when the shepherds of black
01:07tamils start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the
01:12hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. The Prophet ﷺ then recited,
01:18Verily, with Allah alone is the knowledge of the hour. 31-34. Then that man Gabriel left,
01:25and the Prophet ﷺ asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the
01:31Prophet ﷺ said, That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion. Abu Abdullah said,
01:37He, the Prophet, considered all that as a part of faith.
