Signs of Qiyamah - , The Minor Signs of the Last Day

Qiyamah will come when...
Hadhrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (R.A.) narrates that Rasulallah (Sallallahu
Alayhii Wassallam) said,"Qiyamah will come...
*. When it will be regarded as a shame toact on Quranic injunctions.
*. When untrustworthy people will be regarded as trustworthy and the
trustworthy will be regarded as untrustworthy.
*. When it will be hot in winter.
*. When the length of days is stretched, i.e. a journey of a few days
is covered in a matter of hours.
*. When orators and lecturers lie openly.
*. When people dispute over petty issues.
*. When women with children come displeased on account of them bearing
offspring, and barren women remain happy on account of having no
responsibility of offspring.

*. When people blatantly follow their passions and whims.
*. When lies prevail over the truth.
*. When violence, bloodshed and anarchy become common.
*. When immorality overtakes shamelessness and is perpetrated publicly.

worst elements of the Ummat, and if people accept them and are
satisfied with their findings, then such persons will not smell the
fragrance of Jannat.
*. When the offspring become a cause of grief and anger (for their parents).
The following is part of alengthy Hadith narrated by Hadhrat Abdullah

Wassallam) about the Signs of Qiyamah.

and taunters in society.

their near and dear ones.
*. Hypocrites will be in control of the affairs ofthe community and
evil, immoral people will be at the helm of business establishments.

devoid of guidance.
*. The courtyards of Masjids will be built beautifully and high
mimbars (pulpits) will be erected.
*. Gangsters and evil people will prevail.
*. Various wines will be consumed excessively.
Auf bin Malik (R.A.) says: Icame to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi
Wasallam) while he was in his skin tent during the Tabuk expedition.
Hesaid to me, "Count six things before the adventof Qiyamah:
1 My death
2 The conquest of Jerusalem
3 Mass deaths amongst you people, just as whensheep die in large
numbers during an epidemic
4 Abundance of wealth to such an extent that if a person were to be
given a hundred Dinars he will still not be satisfied
5 General anarchy and bloodshed, that no Arab household will be spared from it
6 Then a life of peace as a result of a peace agreement between youand
the Banil Asfaar
(Romans) which they will break and attack you with a force consisting
of eighty flagsand under each flag will be an army of twelve thousand
men." (Hadith: Sahih Bukhari).
IRAQ and SYRIA
Abu Nadhrah says: "We were sitting in the company of Jabir bin
Abdullah (R.A.) when he said: 'Soon the people ofIRAQ will neither
receive any food (grain) nor anymoney.'" We asked,"Why would such a
thinghappen?" He replied,"Because of the non-Arabs." (i.e they
willprevent food from goinginto Iraq, in the form of"sanctions" to
this day.) He then said: "Soon the people of Shaam (SYRIA) will
neither receive any money nor grain." We asked as to why this would
happen. He replied: "Because of the Romans (christians)."
CONCEITED PEOPLE:
Hadhrat Abbas (R.A) narrates that Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alayhi
Wassallam) has said,"Islam will spread far and wide, across the seas.
Horses will cross the land and seas in the cause of Jihaad. Then a
time will come wherein a group of people will emerge which recites the
Quraan. They will claim,
'We have recited the Quraan and is there anyone who understands the
Quraan better than us? There is NO ONE more proficient than us in the
study of the Quraan.'
Then Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam) asked the Sahaba, "Do
you see any good in their claims?" The Sahaba replied,"No". Rasulallah
(Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam) said, "But these conceited claimants
will be from my Ummah and will be the fuel of the Fire."
