Minor Signs of The Day of Resurrection

The lesser signs of the Hour include the following:

1.The sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)

2.The death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

3.The conquest of Jerusalem.

4.The plague of Amwaas (Emmaus), which is a city in Palestine.

5.Widespread wealth and lack of need for charity.

6.The appearance of fitan (tribulations). Among the tribulations that occurred in the early years of Islam were: the killing of ‘Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with him), the battle of the camel and the battle of Siffeen, the emergence of the Khawaarij, the battle of al-Harrah, and the opinion that the Qur’aan is a creation.

7.The emergence of claimants to Prophethood, such as the liar Musaylimah and al-Aswad al-‘Anasi.

8.The appearance of fire in the Hijaaz, which appeared in the middle of the 7th century AH, in 654 AH. This was a great fire, which the scholars who were alive at the time of its appearance and those who came after them described in great detail. Al-Nawawi said: There appeared in our time a fire in Madeenah, in the year six hundred and fifty-four. It was a very great fire on the eastern side of Madeenah, beyond the Harrah, and knowledge of it was widespread throughout Syria and all lands. Those of the people of Madeenah who were present told me about it.

9.Loss of trust. One of the manifestations of loss of trust is people’s affairs being entrusted to those who are not qualified or able for that.

10.The taking away of knowledge and the prevalence of ignorance; the taking away of knowledge will occur with the disappearance of the scholars, as it says in al-Saheehayn.

11.The spread of zina (adultery, fornication)

12.The spread of riba (usury, interest)

13.The prevalence of musical instruments.

14.Widespread drinking of alcohol.

15.Shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings.

16.A slave woman giving birth to her mistress, as is stated in al-Saheehayn. There are several views among the scholars as to what this means. The view favoured by Ibn Hajar is that there will be widespread disobedience among children, so that a child will treat his mother as a master treats his slave woman, with negligence and insults.

17.Widespread killing.

18.Widespread earthquakes.

19.Appearance of landslides, transformations and stones from heaven.

20.Appearance of women who are clothed yet naked.

21.Believer’s dreams coming true.

22.Widespread giving of false testimony and concealment of true testimony.
