The answer

There is no contradiction between the Hadith "The Hour will not be established until the sun rises from its west" and the verse "No change in the creation of Allah." For the meaning of creation in the verse is the natural disposition (fitra) upon which Allah created people, and the prohibition here is against altering Allah's fitra. Whereas the rising of the sun from its west is one of the signs of the Hour.
