The fundamental principle in Allah's way is change and alteration in creatures and events, as a confirmation of His saying, the Most High: "Every day He is in a [new] state." Numerous Prophetic hadiths indicate the changing of situations and the alteration of conditions before the Hour comes, among them: No time comes but the one after it is worse than it; A man will pass by a man's grave and say, "Would that I were in his place"; The House [Kaaba] will be circumambulated and the 'Umrah will be performed after the emergence of Gog and Magog; Knowledge will be taken away, earthquakes will increase, time will draw near, tribulations will appear, Al-Harj (killing) will increase, and wealth will overflow; Fighting the Jews until stones and trees speak; The perturbation of the buttocks of the women of Daws around Dhu al-Khalasah; Al-Harj (killing) will increase; Wealth will overflow until no one finds anyone to accept charity from him; "Allah, Allah" will not be said on Earth; A man will manage the affairs of fifty women; The Hour will not be established upon anyone who says, "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no deity except Allah); A man from the household of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, will rule and fill the earth with justice; The sky will rain a rain from which only hair tents will benefit; A single prostration will be better than the world and all that is in it; People will boast about mosques; Fighting people with small eyes and wide faces; Wild beasts will speak to humans, and a man's whip, the strap of his sandal, and his thigh will speak to him; Tribes will join the polytheists and worship idols; Thirty liars will appear, all claiming to be prophets.
