According to Hadeeth: Signs of Qiyamah:

The following was part of a lengthy Hadith by Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (R.A.) when he asked the Prophet (PBUH) about the Signs of Qiyamah.

• Songs and musical instruments will be found in every home.

Auf bin Malik (R.A.) said once, I visited a prophet (PBUH) while he was in his skin tent during the Tabuk expedition. He said to me,

“Count six signs of Qyamah before the arrival of Qiyamah:

1 My death

2 The conquest of Jerusalem

3 Mass deaths among you people, just as when sheep die in large numbers during an epidemic

4 Great quantity of wealth to such an amount that if a person were to be given a hundred Dinars, he would still not be pleased

5 General anarchism and killing that no Arab household will be spared from it

6 Then a life of peace as a result of a peace agreement between you and the Banil Asfaar

Conclusion

The signs of Qiyamah serve as powerful reminders of our ultimate destiny and the transient nature of this world. These signs, both minor and major, are not merely events to be observed but are profound lessons urging us to reflect on our relationship with Allah and the purpose of our existence. As we witness many of the minor signs unfolding, such as the prevalence of ignorance, moral decay, and widespread injustices, we are reminded of the urgency to turn back to Allah, correct our actions, and prepare for what lies ahead.

The major signs, like the emergence of Dajjal, the return of Prophet Isa (AS), and the rising of the sun from the west, emphasize the magnitude of the events leading to the Day of Judgment, highlighting the need for unwavering faith and steadfastness. By understanding these signs, we are called to deepen our connection with our Creator, strengthen our Iman, and align our lives with the teachings of Islam. Qiyamah is not just an end but a beginning—the moment we stand before Allah for ultimate accountability.

Let the signs of Qiyamah awaken us to the reality of our purpose, guiding us to live a life of righteousness, seek forgiveness, and strive for the eternal success that awaits in the Hereafter.

“(Romans) which they will break and attack you with force consisting of eighty flags, and under each flag will be an army of twelve thousand men.” (Hadith: Sahih Bukhari).
