About this lecture

In this episode of Signs of the Hour, Sheikh explores a rich collection of prophetic hadith about the relationship between humanity and wealth in the end times — covering impulsive consumption, unethical consumerism, invisible market forces, and the dangerous love of material accumulation. Drawing on classical scholarship and contemporary realities like Amazon, social media influencers, and global supply chains, he calls Muslims to reflect on their spiritual calibration and lead the way in ethical, conscious living.
