Does the Killer Know Why He Kills? | Signs of the Hour Ep. 20
The Prophet ﷺ said that before the Hour, time would shrink, deeds would shrink, greed would grow and tribulations would spread, and that harj would increase. His Companions (ra) asked what harj was. He answered with one word, twice: killing. In another narration he said a day would come when the killer does not know why he kills and the one killed does not know why he dies.
Dr. Omar Suleiman reads these narrations against a world where killing has become distant and senseless, and where a massacre can arrive as just another update. He explains why a believer cannot get used to mass death, and how two sets of the Prophet’s ﷺ instructions that seem to contradict each other fit together: one for standing against oppression, and one for staying out of a fight when no one can tell who is right.
