Signs of the Last Day

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned that the Last Day will not come until knowledge is taken away, earthquakes become frequent, time passes quickly, afflictions appear, murders increase and money overflows.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The Hour (Last Day) will not be established until (religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious learned men), earthquakes will be very frequent, time will pass quickly, afflictions will appear, murders will increase and money will overflow amongst you". .
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ الْعِلْمُ، وَتَكْثُرَ الزَّلاَزِلُ، وَيَتَقَارَبَ الزَّمَانُ، وَتَظْهَرَ الْفِتَنُ، وَيَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ ـ وَهْوَ الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ ـ حَتَّى يَكْثُرَ فِيكُمُ الْمَالُ فَيَفِيضُ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned his followers about the signs of the Last Day. He said that knowledge will be taken away by the death of religious learned men. This means that people will no longer have access to religious knowledge and teachings as there won't be any scholars left to teach them. He also said that earthquakes would become very frequent which means they would happen more often than usual. Additionally, he said time would pass quickly which could mean days or years passing by faster than normal or even a sense of urgency in people's lives due to their fear of what is coming next. Furthermore, he mentioned afflictions appearing which could refer to diseases or other types of suffering such as poverty or war. Lastly, he mentioned murders increasing and money overflowing amongst people which could mean an increase in crime rates and wealth inequality respectively. All these signs are indicators for when the Last Day is near so it is important for us to remember them and stay prepared for it at all times.
