Qiyamat or in other languages means the end of the world. On that day, all human beings and all living things that are on the earth will be destroyed forever. The prediction of the coming of the Qiyamat day has been written in the Quran for a long time. Below is a verse of the Quran that tells about the end of the day.

وَكُلَّ إِنسَانٍ أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَابًا يَلْقَاهُ مَنشُورًا

“And (for) every man We have fastened to him his fate in his neck, and We will bring forth for him (on the) Day (of) the Resurrection a record which he will find wide open.” (Surah Al-Isra` 17:13)

There are many signs that have already happened, that are currently taking place and those that have not yet come to pass. The purpose of these signs and indications is to warn mankind about the impending doom and serve as a reminder of the transitory nature of this world that we have attached ourselves to. We are also reminded of our purpose in this world and the small part that we play in the grander scheme of things.

هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِن قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا قُلِ انتَظِرُوا إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ

“In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth nought a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait for ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.”(Surah Al-An`am 6:158)

In the Quran, it is mentioned that there will be a fog where there is a thick fog that covers the entire universe. This fog lasts for 40 days. The effects of this fog are deadly for disbelievers. Meanwhile, for Muslims are don’t affect. Below is a chapter of the Quran about this fog.

“But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke. That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.” (Verse 44:10-11)

The Dajjal is a person with the characteristics of his blind next eye and he is the destroyer of the earth. The description of the appearance of the Dajjal may not be clearly written in the Quran. But the following verse of the Quran can explain the appearance of the Dajjal.

“There will be no Qayamat so the time is short, then a year it felt like a month, a month it felt like a week, a week it felt like a day, a day it felt like an hour and one hour felt like a flash of fire. “(briefly, just like a flash of fire).” (Tirmizi)“By the declining day. Lo! man is a state of loss. Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.” (Surat Al-Asr 103:1-3)

After the appearance of the Dajjal, it will also appear Imam Mahdi as the enforcer of truth on earth. The appearance of the Mahdi Imam is also explained in the Quran.

“O ye who believe! Whoever becomes a rebel from his religion, (knowing otherwise) Allah will bring those whom He loves and those who love Him, humble to those who believe, burden the unbelievers, strive in the way of Allah, and who is not afraid to the insult of the people who like to insult…” (Surah Al-Maidah 5: 54)

On the day of Qayamat Prophet Isa AS was revealed by Allah SWT. He will kill the dajjal along with Imam Mahdi. The fall of Prophet Isa AS and Imam Mahdi is the leader on earth to fight evil. Here is one of the Quran verses about the appearance of Prophet Isa AS.

“ And he (i.e., Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow Me: this is a Straight Way.” (Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:61)

It is explained in the Quran that there will be a creature called Ya’juj and Ma’juj. They are human beings, who are descendants of Japheth, son of Noah’s Prophet. They are destructive human beings and have horrible appearances. Here is an explanation of the Quran verse about Ya’juj and Ma’juj.

“But there is a ban on a town which We have destroyed: that they (the people of the town) shall not return (to reclaim that town as their own); until Gog and Magog are let through (their barrier), and they swiftly spread out in every direction (replicating themselves amongst all the peoples of the world).”(Surah Al-Anbya 21:95-96)

In addition to the emergence of Gog and Magog, there are beasts that can speak to humans. Not only that but it is said also these beasts can mark which people who disbelieve and believe. Below is an explanation of the Quran.

“And when the word is fulfilled concerning them, We shall bring forth a beast of the earth to speak unto them because mankind had not faith in Our revelations.” (Surah An-Naml 27:82)

At the present time, the sun rises from the east. However, what might the sunrise in the West? That is the greatness of Allah, that whatever happens in this world is the Will of Allah SWT. We as Muslims must believe in this. Allah says about this in the Quran.

“My Lord is He Who giveth life and death.” He said: “I give life and death.” Said Abraham: “But it is Allah that causeth the sun to rise from the East do thou then cause it to rise from the West!” Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected Faith. Nor doth Allah Give guidance to a people unjust.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:258)

In the future, the moon has been separate, Allah SWT said that in the Quran. That the day of Qayamat is near when the moon has been separated. Below here is the word from Allah based on Quran.

“The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.” (Surat Al-Qamar 54:1)

There are many earthquakes in various parts of the earth, it is also one of the signs of Qayamat. One day there will happen a very powerful earthquake. The occurrence of this powerful earthquake is also mentioned in the Quran.

” O mankind! Fear your Lord. Lo! the earthquake of the Hour (of Doom) is a tremendous thing.” (Surah Al-Hajj 22:1)

The last sign of the great Qayamat is the trumpet blow of the Israfel. This is clearly written in the Quran. With the trumpet from Israfel, all human beings and all living things that exist in the universe will be destroyed and die.

“And the trumpet shall be blown, so all those that are in the heavens and all those that are in the earth shall swoon, except such as Allah please; then it shall be blown again, then lo! they shall stand up awaiting.” (Quran 39:68)

The elevation of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by Allah SWT into an Apostle, is a sign of doomsday. Which only Prophet Muhammad is the last prophet for Muslims. Below is a verse that explains this.

“Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets, and Allah is ever Aware of all things.” (Quran 33:40)

Disobedience is everywhere, one of them is adultery. This is an example of a small doomsday that is already in the present. Here below is a verse that explains people who commit adultery.

“The adulterer shall not marry save an adulteress or an idolatress, and the adulteress none shall marry save an adulterer or an idolater. All that is forbidden unto believers.” (Quran 24:3)

The Time is Short: Have we ever felt that the present time, becomes ever shorter? This has been determined by Allah SWT as a sign of the doomsday for humans.The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam said:
