Foundations one needs to engage in a proper reading of the signs of the Day of Judgement. This episode examines the signs of the last day as a fourth component of the religion, the thematic unity in the famous hadith of Jibril, the Quranic basis for the four components of the religion, and introduces the concept of "retrospective texts" and "prospective texts" that speak about the signs.
Four Components:
1. Islam (al-Fiqh al-Asghar (Ahkam)) - Constant
2. Iman (al-Fiqh al-Akbar) - Constant
3. Ihsan (Fiqh al-Nafs) - Constant
4. Ilm al-Sa'a (Fiqh al-Tahawwulat (transitions)) - Variables (Retrospective and Prospective)
