The question

What is the ruling on the widespread circulation among the public of a message claiming that the moon will revolve around the Kaaba and the sky will turn a marine color at a specific time, and that this is a moment for prayers to be answered that occurs once every 100,000 years?

The answer

One must be cautious of what is circulated and spread among the public, which scholars do not recognize, because the loss of knowledge occurs with the departure of scholars and the leadership of the ignorant. The claim that the moon will orbit the Kaaba on a certain night, and that the sky will be turquoise, and that it is a moment of answered prayers that recurs every hundred thousand years, is a false claim and a statement about the religion of Allah without knowledge. There is no valid textual or scientific evidence for this alleged cosmic change. The aspect of the unseen religious matters related to the answering of prayers must be supported by a narration from the infallible one (the Prophet). The moment of answered prayers is not rare; rather, it occurs every night, for Allah descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night, saying: "Who is invoking Me that I may respond to him? Who is asking Me that I may give him? Who is seeking My forgiveness that I may forgive him?"
