Signs of the End time

In Islam, a number of major and minor signs foretell the end of days. There is debate over whether they could occur concurrently or must be at different points in time, although Islamic scholars typically divide them into three major periods.

2.     People cheat in weights and measures (business, trades, etc.) and are stricken with famine, calamity, and oppression as a result;

Last of the minor signs, and which will signal the coming of the 10 Major signs

    The Appearance of the Mahdi.

Major signs

Following the second period, the third will be marked by the ten major signs known as alamatu's-sa'ah al-kubra (the major signs of the end). They are as follows:

1.     The false messiah—anti-Christ, Masih ad-Dajjal—shall appear with great powers as a one-eyed man with his right eye blind and deformed like a grape. Although believers will not be deceived, he will claim to be God, to hold the keys to heaven and hell, and will lead many astray. In reality, his heaven is hell, and his hell is heaven. The Dajjal will be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls.
2.     The return of Isa (Jesus), from the fourth sky, to kill Dajjal.
3.     Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj (Gog and Magog), a Japhetic tribe of vicious beings who had been imprisoned by Dhul-Qarnayn, will break out. They will ravage the earth, drink all the water of Lake Tiberias, and kill all believers in their way. Isa, Imam Al-Mahdi, and the believers with them will go to the top of a mountain and pray for the destruction of Gog and Magog. God eventually will send disease and worms to wipe them out.
4.     A huge black cloud of smoke will cover the earth.
5.     Dabbat al-ard, or the beast that will come out of the ground to talk to people.
6.     The sun will rise from the west.
7.     Three sinkings of the earth, one in the east,
8.     One in the west,
9.     And one in Arabia.
10.     The second blow of the trumpet will be sounded, the dead will return to life, and, out of Yemen, will come a fire that shall gather all to Mahshar Al Qiy'amah (The Gathering for Judgment).

Other signs

1.     Mecca will be attacked and the Kaaba will be destroyed.
2.     A pleasant breeze will blow from the south that shall cause all believers to die peacefully.
