The Signs Which Indicate That the Day of Judgement is Near

Question :

What are the signs that the Day of Judgement is at hand, and how does one protect oneself from the trials and tribulations that are yet to come?

Answer:

The signs of the Day of Judgement are many; from them is the saying of the Prophet ﷺ to Jibril:
"When the slave-woman gives birth to her master, and when camel-herders compete with each other in constructing tall buildings."

Here are some more signs of the Day of Judgement: the coming of Dajjal; the descending of 'Isa from the sky; the rising of the sun from the west; the appearance of the Beast of the earth; the abundance of wealth, so much so, that a man will be dissatisfied even after receiving a large amount of money from charity; the occurrence of many trials and tribulations, to the point that these trials will enter the home of every Bedouin. One should read Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah by Ibn Kathir; it contains commentaries on the many Hadiths that detail the signs of the Day of Judgement, but moreover, it explains how one can protect himself from the trials that are to come.
