Revisiting Signs of Judgment Day - June 26, 2014

THE LESSER SIGNS OF QIYAMAH

Assalam-o-Alaikum!

The list below was shared by a Bosnian Muslim on Facebook in January 2014 with the note: “The lesser signs of qiyamah: to my understanding all or nearly all are fulfilled.” – Interestingly, this account (or signs) is the same as described by the Muslim scholars in Indo-Pak region. Hence cross-verification!! 

The signs of Judgment Day have not been invented Naooz Billah by someone. These are documented in hadith books and passed on from generation to generation, and they help us give an understanding of what is happening 'today' all around.
