THE QUR’ĀN AND RŪM | Sheikh Imran N. Hosein | Rotterdam May 16th 2026

In this important lecture delivered at Masjid Dar al-Salaam in Rotterdam on May 16th, 2026, Sheikh Imran N. Hosein examines the profound Qur’ānic subject of Rūm, drawing particular attention to Sūrah al-Rūm and its continuing relevance for understanding sacred history, Christian civilization, Russia, and the unfolding destiny of the modern world.

The lecture begins by setting out a methodology for studying the Qur’ān. Sheikh Imran explains that when Allah mentions a subject in the Qur’ān, the Qur’ān itself must be the first source of knowledge on that subject, and all other sources must be judged in light of it. He also emphasizes the need to study the Qur’ān as one studies the stars: not by isolating one verse alone, but by locating the pattern formed by many verses together.

A major focus of this lecture is the Qur’ānic prophecy concerning the defeat and later victory of Rūm. Sheikh Imran reflects on the opening verses of Sūrah al-Rūm, the historical struggle between the Byzantine Christian state and the Persian empire, and the astonishing Qur’ānic declaration that Rūm would again be victorious after defeat.

The discussion then develops into a deeper analysis of the phrase “before and after” in Sūrah al-Rūm. Sheikh Imran challenges conventional readings and argues that the Qur’ān is pointing to two victories of Rūm, separated by a decisive event in Christian history. Particular attention is given to the schism of 1054, the question of the Holy Spirit, Constantinople, Moscow, and the possibility that the Rūm of the Qur’ān has a continuing historical destiny.

The lecture also explores the relationship between Islam and certain Christian communities, especially through the story of the Christian king of Abyssinia and the Qur’ānic recognition of sincere believers among the People of the Book. In doing so, Sheikh Imran connects Qur’ānic methodology, sacred history, Christian theology, and contemporary geopolitics within a wider vision of the End Times.

In this powerful lecture delivered at the Institute of International ...Relations, University of the West Indies in Trinidad, Sheikh Imran N. Hosein examines Islam, the Great War, and the events which lie beyond it through the lens of Islamic eschatology.

The lecture begins by introducing the meaning of eschatology, not merely as a study of the signs of the End Times, but as a roadmap to the End of History. Sheikh Imran explains that the movement of history cannot be understood through politics alone, but must also be read through revelation, prophecy, and the philosophy of history.

A major focus of this lecture is the contrast between the modern Western claim of the “End of History” and the religious view that history began with Truth and will end with the validation of Truth. Drawing upon the Qur’an, Hadith, religious history, international relations, and eschatology, he explains the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic understandings of the end of history, the return of the Messiah, and the role of Dajjal in impersonating the Messiah.

The discussion then develops into a sweeping analysis of the Great War, Jerusalem, Constantinople, and the events which Sheikh Imran argues will follow the war. Particular attention is given to the prophesied conquest of Constantinople, the significance of Hagia Sophia, and the historical wound caused by its conversion from a cathedral into a mosque under the Ottoman Sultan.

The lecture also explores the civilizational and geopolitical implications of the emerging global order. In doing so, Sheikh Imran connects Russia, China, the Orthodox Christian world, and the world of Islam within a wider vision of eschatology, international relations, and the decline of modern Western dominance.

The session further includes reflections on Pax Britannica, Pax Americana, Pax Judaica, the petrodollar, BRICS, the prophecy of the Euphrates uncovering a mountain of gold, Pakistan, India, Israel, Venezuela, and the role of oppression and justice in the movement of history. It concludes with a question-and-answer session covering China, the Qur’anic interpretation of destruction, ISIS and the caliphate, the future global order, Russia and the West, and the relationship between peace and justice.

Dajjal’s Footprints in Time, Session 2 Recovering Sacred Time Through Qur’anic Recitation

🕌 In this second session of the lecture series delivered ...at San Fernando Jama Masjid in Trinidad & Tobago, Sheikh Imran N. Hosein continues his exploration of sacred time by turning to the Qur’an itself as the divinely given means through which the human being may recover a lost relationship with time and restore spiritual and mental balance.

📘 The lecture begins with a brief introduction to Sheikh Imran’s then newly published book, The Qur’an and Russia’s Destiny, before returning to the central argument developed in the first session. He reiterates that the prophetic warning about time appearing to move faster in the end times should not be understood as time literally accelerating, but rather as a sign that human beings have abandoned sacred time and become imprisoned within a secular, mechanical order. According to the speaker, the consequences of this rupture are not merely civilizational or theological, but deeply personal, affecting the mind, the heart, memory, and overall well-being.

🌙 A major focus of this session is the question of how sacred time may be recovered. Sheikh Imran argues that Allah has provided the answer through the recitation of the Qur’an, especially when it is recited in the manner divinely taught to the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. He reflects on the relationship between revelation and recitation, the monthly completion of the Qur’an, and the importance of aligning recitation with the rhythms of the lunar month.

📖 The discussion then develops into a detailed and highly original explanation of how the Qur’an’s surahs correspond to the movement of the moon and the structure of sacred time. Sheikh Imran presents the argument that the Qur’an should be recited in a way that preserves the integrity of the divinely arranged surahs rather than following later artificial divisions. He explains how this method of recitation reconnects the believer with the moon, the calendar, the created order, and the sacred rhythm of life.

🕊️ The lecture also explores the spiritual significance of the first six days of the month, the Qur’anic counterpart to the commemoration of creation, the meaning of the seventh day, the role of Surah al-Fatihah, and the relationship between the recitation of the Qur’an and the healing of the mind and heart. In doing so, Sheikh Imran links Qur’anic recitation to a wider philosophy of worship, sleep, prayer, moon-sighting, remembrance, and discipline, arguing that these together form part of an integrated sacred way of living.

The session further includes reflections on Surah Maryam, the Najashi of Abyssinia, Laylat al-Qadr, the symbolism of the moon and stars, and the distinction between merely knowing truth and truly tasting it. The lecture concludes with an explanation of why Surah al-Baqarah stands at the opening of the Qur’an in relation to absolute time, and how prayer itself can become a means of transcending ordinary temporal awareness.

It invites viewers to consider that the recovery of sacred time is not a theoretical exercise, but a living path of recitation, discipline, and spiritual transformation.

May Allah restore us to sacred order, heal our hearts and minds through His Book, and guide us to live by truth before time runs out Ameen!Show More

🕌 In this first session of a two-part lecture delivered ...at San Fernando Jama Masjid in Trinidad & Tobago in April 2026, Sheikh Imran N. Hosein introduces the subject of sacred time and examines how it has been progressively replaced and corrupted by the modern secular system of time.

⏳ The lecture opens by situating the discussion within the framework of Islamic eschatology, particularly the prophetic warning that, in the end times, people would perceive time to be moving faster and faster. Sheikh Imran argues that this does not mean time itself changes, but rather that human beings, having abandoned the divinely ordained system of sacred time, now suffer a distorted relationship with time, with serious consequences for spiritual balance, social order, and even mental well-being.

🌙 A major focus of the lecture is the distinction between sacred time and mechanical or secular time. Drawing upon the Qur’an, Hadith, and historical reflection, the speaker explains how sacred time is rooted in divine order, especially through the moon, the lunar month, and the structure of the day, week, month, and year. In contrast, modern civilization is described as having broken from this sacred order by adopting an artificial system that redefines the year, month, week, day, and hour according to secular priorities rather than divine guidance.

📖 The lecture further explores how this transformation affects not only calendars and rituals, but the entire rhythm of human life. Particular attention is given to the relationship between sacred time and the natural order, the significance of the lunar calendar, the Sabbath, the Islamic day beginning at sunset, and the spiritual meaning of the twelve hours of the day. Sheikh Imran also reflects on the connection between sacred time, worship, recitation of the Qur’an, moon-sighting, and the recovery of harmony between the human being and creation.

🧭 This session also includes important remarks on the importance of Islamic eschatology as an independent field of knowledge, the silence of much of contemporary Islamic scholarship on major end-time events, and the need to recover a Qur’anic methodology for understanding the age in which we live.

Did the Moon Really Split? Rethinking the Sign of the End Times | Sheikh Imran N. Hosein

In this thought-provoking lecture, Sheikh Imran N. Hosein revisits the ...

In this thought-provoking lecture, Sheikh Imran N. Hosein revisits the widely accepted narrative of the splitting of the moon and offers a critical re-examination of its interpretation.

Reflecting on modern space ...exploration and recent missions to the moon, he questions the absence of historical and physical evidence for a literal splitting of the moon, and explores whether the Qur’anic reference should instead be understood symbolically.

The lecture introduces the concept of sacred time, suggesting that the “splitting of the moon” may refer not to a physical event, but to the breakdown of a divinely established system of time in the end of days. He examines classical reports, historical records, and the implications of interpreting scripture without deeper reflection.

The discussion encourages viewers to move beyond literalism and engage with the Qur’an through thoughtful interpretation, while acknowledging that ultimate knowledge belongs to Allah alone.
