One Sign of the Day of Judgement

[Judgement Day]

Assalamu'alaikum Sisters and Brothers,

One sign of the arrival of the day of judgement is the sun rising in the west. Do you think its explicitly or implicitly meant?

I have my own thoughts but I'd rather hear some ideas first.

Why would a true prophet be deliberately cryptic? If they really had foreknowledge and truly wished to communicate they'd write something like: "Three thousand years from now a people living on a huge, undiscovered continent 6.000 Km West of Jerusalem will have developed flying explosive weapons of unimaginable destructive power....."

If a prophesy needs interpretation, ie: it's is not clearly and unambiguously worded, then I suspect it's written by a charlatan hedging his bets.

Wa 'alaikum salam,

It' s true, one of the signs of the arrival of the day of Judgement is the rising of the sun from the west. It is explicitly meant, the Prophet peace be upon him made clear those things and there is no doubt in that.

Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet

said, "Hasten to do good deeds before six (things happen) :Rising of the sun from the west"

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Zar that the Messenger of Allah

one day said, "Do you know where the Sun goes?" They replied, "Allah and his apostle know best." He (The Prophet

) observed, "Verily it (the sun) glides till it reaches its resting place under the throne. Then it falls prostrate and remains there until it is told, 'Rise up and go to the place whence you came' and it goes back."
Then it continues emerging out from its rising place and then glides till it reaches its place of rest under the throne where it falls prostrate and remains in that state until it is told, 'Rise up and return to the place whence you came.' And it returns and emerges out of it's rising place and then it glides (in such a normal way) that the people do not discern anything (unusual in it) till it reaches its resting place under the throne. Then it would be said to it, 'Rise up and emerge from the place of your setting,' and it will rise from the place of its setting." The Messenger of Allah

said "Do you know when it will happen? It will happen at the time when faith will not benefit anyone who has not previously believed or has derived no good from the faith." (Muslim)

Yes, it was meant explicitly. The sun will rise from the west literally. Nevermind my thoughts, it was completely just an idea, and without any base. Here is a good article about the day of judgement:
