EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Anas ibn Malik and it warns us about the signs that will come before the end times. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that one sign will be a decrease in religious knowledge as many learned people will pass away. Another sign is an increase in religious ignorance as people become less knowledgeable about their faith. A third sign is widespread drinking of alcoholic drinks such as wine and liquor. Lastly, there will be prevalence of illegal sexual intercourse between unmarried couples or those who are not allowed to marry each other according to Islamic law. These are all signs that we should take seriously and strive to avoid so that we can stay on the right path until our last breath.
