What are the causes of the increased number of earthquakes and disasters? And what are the signs of the Hour that have appeared and those that have not yet appeared?

Allah is wise in His legislative and cosmic commands. Part of His wisdom is that He sends signs to remind and warn His servants, among which are earthquakes. These did not occur during the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and their first appearance was during the era of Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who feared and disapproved of them.

Muslims, when earthquakes occur, should repent and increase their acts of charity and good deeds. The signs of the Hour are divided into major signs, which have not yet appeared, and minor signs, many of which have already appeared.
