How many signs of Qiyamah are left?

Published in Islamic Eschatology 2 mins read

According to one interpretation found, 131 minor signs of the Day of Judgment have not occurred yet.

It is important to understand the Islamic perspective on the signs of Qiyamah (the Day of Judgment). These signs are generally categorized into two types: minor signs and major signs.

  • Minor Signs: These are numerous and generally occur gradually, indicating the approaching end times.
  • Major Signs: These are fewer in number and are more dramatic, signaling that the Day of Judgment is very near.

While pinpointing the exact number of minor signs that remain is difficult and subject to scholarly interpretation, the reference provided states that 131 minor signs are yet to occur. This number should be viewed as an estimate based on interpretation of Islamic texts (Quran and Hadith).

It's also crucial to remember that:

  • The knowledge of when the Day of Judgment will occur is with Allah alone.
  • Focus should be on personal piety and preparation for the afterlife, rather than fixating on specific numbers or predictions.

In conclusion, while one interpretation suggests 131 minor signs are yet to be fulfilled, the exact number of remaining signs of Qiyamah is ultimately known only to Allah.
