Signs Before The Day of Judgement

CHAPTER - 1

AYAT AND AHADIT ABOUT THE HOUR

ALLAH - Subhanahu wa Ta'ala - Said:

"They ask thee about the Hour, 'When will be its appointed time?' Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof? With thy Lord is the Limit fixed thereof. Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it. The Day they will see it, (it will be) as if they had tarried but a single eveneing, or (at most till) the following morn!" (an-Nazi'at at 79:42-46)

"They ask thee about the (final) Hour - when will be its appointed time? Say: 'The knowledge thereof is with my Lord(alone): none but He can reveal so to when it will occur. Heavy were its burden through the heavens and the earth. Only all of a suden will it come to you,' They ask thee as if thou were earger in search thereof: say: 'The knowledge thereof is with Allah (alone), but most men know not.'" (al-Araf 7:187)

Tehre are many Ayat and Ahadith concerning this subject: ALLAH said:

"The Hour (of Judgement) is nigh and the moon is cleft asunder." (al-Qamar 54:1)

The Prophet - sallallahu alayhi wa sallam - said, whilst pointing with his index and middle fingers, "The time of my advent adn the Hour are like these two fingers." 

In another report he said, 

"The hour almost come before me." This indicates how close we wre, relatively speaking, to the Hour.
