The definite knowledge of the time of occurrence of Qiyamath (resurrection day) is possessed only by Allah and no one else, however, Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam was informed of the signs of Qiyamath and it was also informed briefly that whatever time it occurs it would be on a 10th Muharram and on a Friday but, Allah Tha’ala did not give the indisputable knowledge of the year of its occurrence to anybody. Therefore, It is against the Qur’an and Sunnath for any person to have the aforesaid Aqida on Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam.

Imam Sha’rani is a true, strong, orthodox, god-fearing, pious, Imam of Shafie Maslak who was a follower of Sunnath and it is beyond doubt, correct to benefit from his writings and books, however, If the questioner is of Hanafi Maslak it is necessary for him to follow Imam Aboo Hanifa Rahmathullahi Alaihi in matters pertaining to (Furu’i Masaa’il) sectional injunctions as mentioned by Imam Sha’rani himself;
” Oh my brother! You leave aside descrimination on Imam Aboo Hanifa Rahmathullahi Alaihi and his companions and do not say that his proofs and evidences are weak imitating those who are ignorant of Imam Sahib’s situations, his abstinence, piety, devotion and foresight and precautions in religion. (If you say so) your abode will be with the losers. Study and peruse his evidences as we have done and you will realize that the Mazhab of Imam Aboo Hanifa Rahmathullahi Alaihi is amongst the authentic Mazhabs”.
It is necessary to avoid and refrain from following a person like Ghamidi who disagree and disgust with the pious predecessors and having liberal thoughts. Also one should explain and prevent one’s relatives too from following him.
