72 Small Signs Of The Approaching Doomsday

Sayyidina Hudhayfah (RA) has narrated that the Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam predicted that seventy-two events shall occur in the period close to the Day of Judgement. 

These are:

1. People will begin to miss their prayers and pay no attention to them. If this is said in our times, there will be nothing surprising in it because the majority of Muslims do not offer their prayers. The Holy Prophet made this prediction at a time when prayers were considered as a line of demarcation between Iman and Kufr. Even the most sinful and vicious person living in that age did not miss his prayers. In his time, i.e. 1400 years ago, the Holy Prophet predicted about the present times that the people will miss their prayers.
2. They shall begin to betray their trusts. That is, they will misappropriate the trusts entrusted to them for safe custody.
3. They will begin to eat usurious income.
4. They will begin to consider lying to be lawful. Telling lies will become an art.
5. They shall construct high-rise buildings.
6. They shall sell their Deen (Faith).
7. They shall violate the bonds of relationships.
8. Justice will become a virtue almost hard to find anywhere.
9. Falsehood will become truth (and vice versa).
10. Silk garments will be worn by men.
11. Oppression and wrongdoing will become rampant.
12. Divorces will become common practice.
13. Sudden deaths will become a common occurrence.
14. One who betrays his trust will be regarded as trustworthy.
15. The trustworthy will be regarded as untrustworthy.
16. The liar will be regarded as truthful.
17. The truthful will be regarded as a liar.
18. Calumny will become a common feature, i.e. people will put false blames on one another.
19. The weather shall be hot despite rains.
20. Instead of desiring children, people will hate them. They will pray to Allah not to favor them with children. This is actually happening as a result of the Family Planning Departments of Governments raising the slogan ‘Only Two Issues’ guarantee prosperity.
21. The meaner classes will be happy and prosperous.
22. The respectable classes will be in trouble and cast out of society.
23. The Rulers and the Ministers will become used to being engrossed in lies from morning until evening.

1. The trustworthy will begin to betray their trusts.
2. The leaders of the people will become wrongdoers.
3. The scholars of Deen and the reciters of Qur’an will become lewd and sinners.
4. The people shall put on animal skin-garments.
5. The hearts of the wearers of animal skin-garments will be more foul smelling than dead animals.
6. They will be more bitter than the aloe plant (with bitter leaves).
7. Gold will become widely used.
