The Day of Judgment draws near. Islam teaches the importance of recognizing the major signs of the Last Hour, as narrated by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). These signs signal that the world as we know it is nearing its end—and indeed, when one appears, others follow swiftly.
🔟 The Ten Major Signs
The Prophet (ﷺ) told us about ten major signs that herald the approach of Qiyamah. As narrated by Hudhayfah ibn Asid (RA):
- The Smoke
- The Dajjal (the False Messiah / Antichrist)
- The Beast of the Earth
- The Rising of the Sun from the West
- The Descent of Prophet 'Isa (Jesus) (AS)
- Gog and Magog (Yajuj and Majuj)
- Three Major Land-slides—in the East, the West, and the Arabian Peninsula
- The Fire from Yemen that drives people to their assembly point
These ten signs are rooted in prophetic narration via Sahih Muslim.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
What Do These Signs Mean?
Though some details remain unclear and interpretations vary, scholars often understand the sequence as follows:
- First, the emergence of the Dajjal, spreading falsehood and confusion.
- Then the descent of Prophet 'Isa (AS) to defeat him and restore truth.
- Subsequently, Gog and Magog burst forth, causing massive destruction.
- Then the sun rises from the west—marking the end of repentance.
- The Beast and other signs follow.
This sequence reminds us that once major signs begin, time moves swiftly, and the door to repentance may close soon.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Why We Must Reflect
These signs are not just headlines from the future—they are a warning and a reminder. As twilight turns darker and the world grows more chaotic, we must return to Allah in authentic belief and righteous deeds.
