DAY OF JUDGEMENT – THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR SIGNS OF QAYAMAH

“The Major Signs Before The Day Of  Judgement ” 

  “THE MAHDI”

 The coming of Imaam Mahdi is one of the signs of Qayamat.

 Abdullah-bin-Masood (R.A) has reported that the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said: “The world will not pass away before the Arabs are ruled by a man (referring to Mahdi) of my family whose name will be the same as mine.”  

 

“DAJJAL”

The emergence of the Dajjal is an important sign.

The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said: “Between the creation of Prophet Adam (A.S) and the coming of the last hour, their will arise no matter more serious than the Dajjal.”

“RETURN OF PROPHET ISA (A.S)”

The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said: “By him whose hands my life is in, surely the son of Maryam will come down amongst you as a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs and abolish the tax. Wealth will be in such abundance that non will care about it and a single prostration in a Prayer will be better than the world and all that is in it.”  

“YA’JUJ MA’ JUJ”

The emergence of the mighty tribes of Ya’juj and Ma’juj is a major sign of Qayamat.

Allah says in the Qur’an: “When Ya’juj and Ma’juj are let loose (from their Barrier) and they swiftly swarm from every mound.” (Surah-al-Anbiya)

It has been mentioned in the Hadith, “And Allah will send Ya’juj and Ma’juj and they will come from every loftly place.” (Muslim)

“RISING OF THE SUN FROM THE WEST”

The rising of the sun from the west is also a major sign of  Qayamat proven by the Qur’an and Sunnah. 

Allah says in the Qur’an: “The day when some signs of your Lord will come, no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good through his faith.” (Surah-Al-An’aam)

Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) said: “Hasten to do good deeds before six (things happen) :Rising of the sun from the west.”  (Mishkat)

“THE SMOKE”

Allah says, “So thou wait for the day when the heaven shall bring a smoke manifest surrounding the people this is painful chastisement” (Surah-Dukhan).

Wasila-Bb-1-Asqa reported, “I heard the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) saying, “The final hour will not come until you see ten signs. “(one of ten mentioned was the smoke) (Muslim) .

“THE BEAST”

The one of the major sign of Qayamat  is Beast.

Allah says in the Qur’an, “And when the word is fulfill  concerning them. We shall bring forth a beast  of the Earth to speak unto them because mankind had no faith in our revelation. “(Surah An-Naml)

Abdullah-b-Umar said,” I memorized  a hadith  from the messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) which i have not  forgotten. I heard the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) saying.” The first of the sign that will come is the rising of Sun from the place of its setting and the emergence of the beast upon the people. Which ever of these tow occur before the other then the other then is right behind it.” (Muslim).

“LANDSLIDES”

There will be three landslides before Qayamat  like never seen before. One in the East, one in the west and one in Arabia. The Earth will swallow everything above it and as a result, many people will die. However, everybody will be raised according to his intentions. This will take place when evil prevails. 

 

Hudhaifa-b-Usaid reported: Allah’s messenger  (P.B.U.H) came to us  all of a sudden as we were (busy in discussion) He said,” What are you discussing? They (companions) said:” We are talking about the last hour.” Thereupon He said:” it will not come until you see ten signs before it, He made a mention of  the smoke, the Dajjal, the Beast, The rising of the sun from West, the descent of Jesus, son of Mary (A.S), the emergence of Ya’juj and Ma’juj, and Landsliding will occur in three places, One in the East, one in the West and one in Arabia at the end of which a fire would burn forth from Yemen, which would drive people to the place  of their assembly.”  (Muslim)

 

“THE FIRE”

 

The last major sign to appear before the day of JUDGEMENT   is the Fire which will come out from the Yemen and gather the people in the place of their assembly
