On the topic:
Most of us learn about the history of the world probably to pass an exam and took historical events for what they were without much thought and question.
Sheikh Imran Hosein has the uncanny skill of reading the history of the world from the pespective of the Quran and Sunnah and relating certain ayats in the Quran that is part and parcel of our faith as Muslims.
Specifically, he refers to the double expulsion of Jews from the Holy Land of Jerusalem, their return thereto through the 1948 creation of the state of Israel and the unseen forces of Gog and Magog and Dajjal (Antichrist) behind it. Based on his deep understanding of the Quran and Sunnah, Sheikh Imran Hosein goes on to make certain predictions about world developments to come.
Whether or not you agree with his views, you’ll find Sheikh Imran Hosein’s talk engaging and strikingly persuasive. This is one talk you should try not to miss.
