What are the signs of the hour or last days?
In Islam, there are several signs that are believed to indicate the approach of the Last Day or the Day of Judgment. These signs are mentioned in the Qur'an and the hadiths (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him). While it is not possible to predict the exact timing of the Last Day, Muslims are encouraged to be aware of these signs and to strive to live a righteous life.
Some of the major signs of the Last Day include:
1. The appearance of the false messiah, also known as the Dajjal, as we discussed earlier. The Dajjal's emergence and subsequent defeat by Jesus will be one of the most significant signs of the Last Day.
2. Widespread corruption, moral decline, and societal strife. There will be an increase in immorality, dishonesty, and disregard for ethical values.
3. The rise of oppressive and tyrannical leaders.
4. The increase in natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and famines.
5. The increase in wars, conflicts, and widespread violence.
6. The spread of false ideologies and the rejection of religious principles.
7. The prevalence of greed, materialism, and love for worldly possessions.
8. The widespread abandonment of religious practice and the loss of faith in God.
9. The coming of a time when people will prioritize their desires and follow their own opinions rather than adhering to the teachings of Islam.
10. The sun rising from the west, which is seen as a major cosmic sign.
11. The emergence of a fire that will originate in Yemen and drive people to their place of assembly.
12. The coming of a time when Muslims will be weak and oppressed, but eventually, their status will be restored.
It is important to note that not all of these signs have occurred yet. Some signs are more symbolic or metaphorical, and their true nature will only be understood when they actually unfold. Muslims are encouraged to reflect upon these signs and use them as a reminder to live a righteous life and prepare for the Hereafter. However, it is advised not to excessively focus on these signs to the point of neglecting one's daily responsibilities and duties. The main emphasis should be on living a life of piety and seeking closeness to Allah.
